    Highway trips = Burning Oil?

    Hi all-- Interesting event. My car, mostly an in-town driver, uses oil when I take it out on the road at highway speeds (75 mph +). Not too much, but it does use some. Yet, I can buzz around town (mostly under 55 or 60 mph) for 3000 and not use a speck of oil. Ideas? The engine was...

    Have you seen this site yet?

    Yup, very cool, but all it takes is some punk-ass kid with a bat and your 70 clams are gone. I wonder how the paint lasts in the weater? --P

    Aftermarket seats

    Chelle--I agree. Anyone got any of the fox bodied seats or newer in the older mustangs? I do like those Fiero seats, though. My concern would be getting a set and realizing that they don't fit and/or work. (ie. Chelle's non folding seats!) --P :rolleyes:

    65/66 Tail Light Bodies W/O Socket?

    UPDATE! Just ordered a set with built in bullet connectors from American Pony. Had to spread the bullet connectors a bit to get a tight fit in my harness, but they are in, and work, without those damn barrell connectors. Now I can take things in and out of the trunk without worrying that I'll...

    Aftermarket seats

    Can y'all post pics? I'd like some seats that don't kill my back--2 bad disks (don't ask)--but some that I can swap back when I show it at MCA shows.

    Alright somethings really getting on my nerves

    :rlaugh: I had a 65 with a 289, no AC, no PS, auto. Man was that car hot and hard to steer at low speeds. Still, I was SO HAPPY to have it, I'd have driven it with one hand if I had to.

    Dart--I have a Ivy Green 66 GT. Do you belong to a club? Northshore Mustang Club is our club. We meet in Mandeville. The web site isn't updated yet, but that'll be taken care of shortly. We're putting together a get together in Hammond that conincides with Hot August Nights on August 20...

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    GeeGee--I'll try that. I have one of thos huge box fans that I use to cool the garage. I'll fire that up and see if it makes a difference. Thanks! Yet another thing I've learned on Stangnet! :nice:

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    Show's you what I know I thought I'd go check the level of 134a. I couldn't find my pal with the gauges, so when I got a couple of cans of 134a, I asked my pal at the parts house. They didn't have any to loan/rent, but he turned me on to this thing that looks like a pistol with a gauge in the...

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    Sparky--Good to know. Where did you get your Freeze 12. I did get new hoses. Pretty much the entire system was new which is why I'm frustrated. I should have to wear a parka! --Paul

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    R--I was going to get a set of gauges so I could see the pressure on the low side. I can't find a set that isn't $10 or $75! At the very least, I can let everyone know what the pressure is. I did swap out the expansion valve. Pretty much it was new front to back. That is what bothers me...

    D--Is the pressure for the system pretty much the same for older cars and new cars? I'm going to pick one up tomorrow when I can get to a parts house. Can't hurt!

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    D-- Yeah, the 134a operates at much higher pressures than the old r-12. Last time I checked, the level of 134 was fine, but I'll check it again to see. When we redid the system for 134a, we replaced o-rings and such. It should work much better than it does. The problem with an...

    Cookin' My Buns Off

    I had one of the valves--the name escapes me--serviced. Basically, the AC system was completely redone and my air isn't anywhere near what is used to be! I'm wondering about the r-12 substitutes. I'd like to avoid the $400+ bill! --P
