    Dont ...just dont !

    Maybe he likes to go fast backwards? Remember back in the day the van that used to race with the body mounted backwards? Hopefully he didn't put his diff in upside down and end up with one forward gear and three or four reverse gears. :O_o:

    Horn stopped working and cigaratte lighter stopped working

    I would say yes. Try your emergency flashers cause they are tied in with your lighter. If they don't work I'd suspect a fuse first. The horn is probly tied in to the same circuit too.

    Changing carb

    You should not be flooding with that carb if you are talking about the engine that is listed in your sig. With those kind of mods you should be good to go with that carb right out of the box. I'd be looking for problem with the carb such as float level or if you are running an electric or...

    1966 Mustang Front Wheel Bearing wobble

    Are you saying after you set your final load that there is no play and then you drive it and the problem shows up? When you pushed/knocked the old races out could you possibly have gouged the bore leaving a bur? This could keep you from seating the race completely or squarely. So while driving...

    1968 Mustang Coupe, Stalling issue

    Sounds like maybe it's flooding out if not a vacuum leak. Check to see that your float is operating properly (not stuck open) and then check the float level.

    1968 Mustang Coupe, Stalling issue

    Since you have a manual tranny then you wont have a stall converter. That's only for automatics. You can have a vacuum leak at the base of your carburetor too, not just a line. Could be a leaking gasket or the base is not seated good or even a cracked carb base plate. Check for leaks around the...

    1968 Mustang Coupe, Stalling issue

    Make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks. Can you tell if its flooding out or starving for fuel? Do you know what your fuel pressure is at the carb?

    Tips for narrowing Front Bumper

    If you have the ability to cut it and custom fit it then i would go for it. Otherwise send it back and try a different manufacturer.

    Tips for narrowing Front Bumper

    Yeah as with many repro parts, these bumpers are stamped out and need tweeking when you get them. My rear bumper was twisted like a twizler but a little handworking it now fits better than the original did.

    Front end alignment

    Make sure you do your camber and toe after as well, in that order.

    Front end alignment

    Where was it rubbing? Front or rear of tire = caster, Top of tire = camber. Did you do any adjustments after the caster adjustment? Caster adjustment will change your toe in and camber settings so you want to do them in a specific order. You should do fine with factory settings but I agree with...

    Would this be a good fan/rad for a 65?

    I have A Champion setup on mine (347 stroker) and it does very well. I don't recall what the CFM of the fan is. If I were you I would go 3 row radiator at least instead of the 2 row. They also have a 4 row version and you can pick which fan combo you want. You can get a 3 row radiator and fan...

    66 front end camber

    Yes you can. Anytime you replace upper suspension parts especially the control arms then it throws everything off no matter if you use the same shims or not. Any way just loosen the nuts inside the engine bay holding your upper control arm and the take a crowbar or large flathead screwdriver and...
