    Bad gas??

    Ok, drained the tank entirely, refilled with 91 and put Gumout fuel cleaner in the tank. Everything is running better but not perfect... now I get to dig into the carbs and see if I need to rejet.

    Help with electrical

    I just finished installing the painless 18 circuit in my 65 with a similar arrangement (MSD, XR-700, spal fan, electric fuel pump, etc). The biggest trick is where you mount the fuse block.

    Bad gas??

    Thanks for all the help guys. Ok, yeah I'm *sort of* an idiot. My car wasn't supposed to take a year and a half to get painted, it was only supposed to take 2 months - :notnice: So I never got a chance to go in there and add any Stabil or drain the tank, etc. So here's the latest. I...

    Bad gas??

    Ok anyone know when gas goes bad? I tore the car apart about a year and a half ago, just put it back together, and it's not running quite right. Before I tear my webers apart and rejet the whole enchilada, I was thinking that maybe the gas in the tank had gone bad... any ideas? I put about 11...

    turn signal cancel cam not working with Lecarra wheel, ideas??

    Ok I see what you mean, that worked, thanks. The pins it came with didn't seem to want to work with the stock cam, so I borrowed the one from the original wheel and retrofitted it onto the new lecarra hub and that worked after I rewired the horn.

    turn signal cancel cam not working with Lecarra wheel, ideas??

    Ok car got painted, put in new interior, put in all new painless wiring, everything works great for my New Year's Day inaugural trip around town... except! My turn signal cancel cam doesn't seem to be doing the "cancelling". (annoying drivers around me keep reminding me instead with their...

    TWO thumbs up to SUMMIT and VA CLASSIC MUSTANG

    Yep I'm with you on Summit - two big thumbs up -- I've spent over $1000 in parts over the last year through them, and I have always gotten the shipment the next day. They're the best. For mustang parts, I'm pretty stoked on American Pony - they have decent prices and have had an all-around...

    Body Shop Headaches

    Your story sounds sort of like mine. I just got my car back from the shop -- the painter picked it up in MARCH of this year, and I got it back on Dec 22. It took forever - he told me it was going to take about 6-8 weeks! Halfway through the body/paint work, the guys who were doing the...

    subwoofer in 65

    I'm trying to build something that looks good and sounds good, and it's in a show car of sorts, so I'm not entirely too concerned about actual usability of trunk space.

    subwoofer in 65

    I think a lot of wood components are fiberboard or some sort of hardened material but most of it is pretty lightweight, I'd be surprised to find it puts 150 lbs on the car, but maybe 50-75. In any case, if its in the trunk, maybe it provides extra traction? Good tunes are worth a few extra...

    subwoofer in 65

    Wow thanks for all the great replies -- I'm looking into how I can make an affordable but soundworthy solution work for me. Next question: For the 6x9's in the rear, is it better to mount them on top of the rear valance or mount them underneath (hidden?) Because the 6x9 protrudes a bit, I...

    351 in a '66 Gas pedal problem

    Yep, that's what I did for my weber intake. Works great - - but be sure if you buy the gas pedal along with the cable setup to buy the spacer plate for the backside of the pedal.

    subwoofer in 65

    Anyone do any cool subwoofer installations in the trunk? I'm considering putting a couple of 10s behind the rear seat where the divider is, but I'm not sure what that is going to sound like without an enclosure (being that the trunk would be the enclosure). I'm also considering making some...
