    Does unused oil go bad?

    I found some quarts of unused motor oil in my garage. Does it have a shelf life? Is it OK to use as long as the SH, SG, Swhatever ratings were OK with whatever car you are using it in? Is it suitable to flush through the engine (whenever I bring my '65 back to life), or should I just send it...

    this doesn't sound safe to me...

    I put a set of Blackjack headers on my '65 nearly 29 years ago, and always had a problem witht he pitman arm hitting one of the tubes. It slightly increased my left turn turning radius, and the pitman put a small dent it the tube, but other than that it was fine so I just left it. Drove it for...

    Steel dash...not the pad

    Seems like a perfect reason to swap in a late model interior a la Marshall in Australia. :banana:

    Marine 351?

    That's why I was asking where I should look for casting numbers and all to see what exactly is there.

    Marine 351?

    A buddy of mine is selling an '84 F-250 4X4 with a 351 in it that he inherited from a recently deceased Uncle. What he's telling me is that it is a 351 that came from a marine application, and his Uncle had to rework it for normal rotation. Additionally, he's not sure if it's a windsor or a...

    Radiator scrap value

    Anybody ever taken their old radiator to a recycler or scrap yard and receive any scrap value for it? Where's you take it and about how much did you get? I know people take copper coils out of HVAC units to recyclers, so why not a radiator?

    Keep my engine Old Ford Blue or.....

    Theoretically, black is the most efficient color at rejecting heat, but I doubt that you could actually tell the difference performance wise o this application. What color exterior on your car? I personally think that exterior color schemes extended to the engine and enginebay look extremely...

    Bolt Pattern 1966 200 Straight Six

    American Racing's website lists 4 lug mustangs at 4 X 4.5. Be cautious with adding aftermarket rims to a 4 lug 'stang. It can be done but I had a problem with my first mustang that ruined a complete set of drums. When you pull off the rim, you will see a weight that protrudes out from the...

    Build Sheet

    Yep, I found one taped to the wiring harness behind the instrument panel. Extremely brittle. I also had one taped to the back of the drivers side door panel. I think some have even found them under the carpet (but good luck on that). Marti reports don't go back to '66, they start at '67...

    how do u replace turn signal cam?

    I found it easiest to just replace the whole steering column harness back to the plug under the dash. Didn't take too long and with 40 year old wiring, I felt it safest to go ahead and replace as much as possible rather than having the splice.

    Please rate these mustang parts dealers...

    Moneypit, Old Dominion Mustang in Ashland has some mustangs behind their shop for used parts, I've been in there before. Their new stuff is expensive and their shop is split between mustangs and craparos. As previously stated CJ Pony has a mustang scrapyard, and there used to be a place...

    Rusted "Yard Ponies"

    No, I don't think so. I have done a little work to it, all the brakes have been replumbed (although now I want to switch to disks up front), I changed out the steering column harness, changed out the clutch pedal shaft bushings, new radiator, monte carlo bar, a handful of other parts yet to be...

    Rusted "Yard Ponies"

    I drove it in high school and college, after college I got a series of jobs that required mega travel and nearly zero home time to work on it. Then came steady job, living in an apartment away from home = no place to keep/work on mustang, so it sat in my parents driveway for 4 years. Then came...

    Got my Marti report

    I found two build sheets in my '65, one taped to the wiring harness under the dash, the other stuck to the back of one of the door panels. I think I've also heard of people finding them under the carpet. They were extremely dry and fragile (especially the one folded up and taped to the wiring...

    Carpet die

    Anybody tried dying the nylon loop carpet? I replaced the carpet in my '65 about 11 years ago, and it still looks good except that it has faded at the transmission hump. Dies that I have found say they don't work well on nylon/polyester type materials. Color is black, so I'm not too conserned...
