    I didn't use a spacer on mine and no problems.

    Ignition Switch Wiring Pertronix Type Question (from a newbie)

    I don't want to hijack the thread, but I checked the voltage at the coil on my car and I'm seeing 12 volts with and without the car running. I've not tried bypassing the pink wire and I have the pertronix setup. Just wondering, do all mustangs have the resistor in the line?

    225/60R15 on a '65 vert?

    I had 235/60R 15's on my stock 64.5 coupe for about one day and they fit... Barely! Can your friend test fit them first before paying for them?

    Starkey fog light kit

    Shading, do you have any pictures during or after the installation. I'm interested in adding them to my 2007.

    1965 Wheel Covers

    Here's a set of 4 wheel covers off of my 1965 Mustang. They are for 14" wheels and are in good condition with no dents or scratches. These wheel covers are from Ford and are not reproductions. I purchased them as NOS from a Ford dealer back in 1984. As my car was always garaged, they have...

    Headliner Installations Stink!

    Well, I left the 'Stang out in the sun today. It's about 90F right now and a fair number of the wrinkles are gone. I have a couple of spots that I didn't stretch out quite right, but, all things considered, it looks presentable. I'm not thrilled with it, but I'll take it until they come out...

    Headliner Installations Stink!

    I don't know if it's been said before, but headliner installations stink! I just spent the last 7 hours pulling out the old headliner and installing a new one in my 64.5. I was alone on this project, so I'm sure that added to the time spend and my frustration. I used the old windlace as...

    Paint Question

    Thanks everyone. I think I will either try the SPI or the Eastwood paint. The SPI prices look pretty good and now that I see some recommendations, it sounds like a good alternative. Also, I've dealt with Eastwood before and they are a reputable company. I'm almost done with the body work...

    Paint Question

    Thanks for the responses. Rusty, I've looked at Southern Urethanes and their prices look very good. Is there paint durable? I would guess it is as it looks like you have some experience with it. Sparx, I followed up on your comment on TCP customer service and, yes, I found numerous...

    Paint Question

    I'm prepping my 64.5 for paint (again) and I've sanded off the poor bc/cc job I did a couple of years back. I was looking at TCP and I noticed that their prices for their store brand paint is less than 1/2 the price of PPG. TCP Global - Quality & Service Since 1974 Question... Has anyone...

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    Great news! Problem solved! I took the carburetor apart and cleaned it again. Upon closer examination, it looked like one of the venturi passages was clogged. I guess I missed it the first time around. Anyway, after a good soaking, I put it all back together and took it out for a test...

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    OK, next weekend here's the plan: Rebuild Carburetor (again) Disconnect fuel line and blow out with compressed air Drain fuel tank Check mechanical advance on distributor I hope nobody minds, but I might be back with more questions next weekend. Thanks, Jim

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    If I accelerate real gently, there is little to no hesitation. I checked the vacuum advance on the distributor and it held vacuum. Also, the vacuum assembly moved fine as I did the test with the distributor cap off. I've replaced the fuel filter twice and both times it appeared clean. Junk...

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    AZ Pete, you're right. I had some time tonight, so I picked up a new grommet for the PCV valve and replaced the old dried out one. Still have the same problem. I readjusted the accelerator pump 3 times, advanced the timing, retarded the timing.... and still the same thing. Hmmm...

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    Guys, I think I found the problem. I only had about 30 minutes to play around with it today, but it appears that the PCV valve is not sitting tight in the grommet and it's sucking in air. I pulled the PCV valve, temporarily plugged it and the car accelerated fine with no hesitation. I thought...

    OK, Another Hesitation Question

    I've searched the forum to see if I could find a previous post that would solve my issue, but nothing seems to match. My 64.5, 260V8 starts fine and idles fine, but hesitates badly on acceleration. I've replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, pertronix ignition (now a pertronix...

    Took the Stang to the track finally.

    I hear ya on the 5.0. Maybe after I finish paying my kid's college bills. In the meantime, my 4.0 is not so bad. Decent pickup, good gas mileage, nice sound... overall, not bad. I've only had it 3 months, but would love to add the dual exhaust and the cold air induction. Only issue is I'm...

    How much HP can the 4.0 hold up to?

    I've been considering a cold air intake and a dual exhaust for starters. I was not thinking about heads, but I have been curious about a supercharger. With a cold air intake, dual exhaust and supercharger (possibly heads), what kind of horsepower will I be looking at? I'm figuring it will be...

    How much HP can the 4.0 hold up to?

    I've just picked up a 2007 V6 convertible that has 3,500 miles, all stock and MINT. What does everyone recommend in order to get some extra boost from this engine and still keep within a $2,000 budget? Thanks, Jim
