    Polyurethane Spring Perch Bushings -- Is This Right?

    Ok so I've installed the polyurethane spring perch bushings in the front of my 66, and am wondering if I followed the directions closely enough... I pressed the bushings into the sleeve and greased the slider into the bushings. In fact I've driven the car and it feels great (and since I cut the...

    Stereo installed -- w/pix!

    I just got around to installing a stereo in my '66 coupe. I went with a Pioneer, installed under the dash, and used four speakers hidden in the cabin so the install looks pretty clean. I added a write up to my blog w/pix if anyone is interested: Link to blog entry w/pix :flag:

    Complete 3G alt Upgrade kit source?

    I bought the 95amp 3G kit from PA Performance that uses the stock wiring (including a modified voltage regulator on the firewall that appears stock but is not) in addition to a beefy power cable with fuse. From what they told me, the stock ammeter, useless as it is, will survive if the wiring...

    Interior carpet install question

    The new carpet should come with the jute padding already affixed to the back (if you bought a classic Mustang set). In addition to that, I also put down the original-style underlayment on top of the Dynamat, and used a jute padding that I bought at a local shop for just the seat risers on both...

    Interior

    Here's what I did to mine last summer, using a quart of POR-15, two tubes of 3M clear sealant, and a box of Dynamat: Floor rejuvenation (with some undercarriage posts too): Restoration and Modification of a 1966 Mustang "Restomod": undercarriage Dynamat installation: Restoration and...

    JBA Headers Fitment Issue

    Aluminum heads The PO had the JBA headers on my car "massaged" in a few places to get them to fit. They do fit better with a fresh set of motor mounts (installed the mounts last week), but still require denting the pipes to get them in. I have aluminum Edelbrock heads and thought that might...

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Thanks, I have richened the mixture a bit to where the car seems to run great at part throttle. I used a vacuum gauge for the adjustments since I don't have much experience with a carb. If I go much farther with richening, there's a gas smell from the exhaust so at that point I think I've...

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Not electrical? Sorry for the delay in answering. Those are all good suggestions, and I went through them and seem to have them covered. I wanted to say that after plenty of tinkering and head scratching I think this rough idle is not electric at all... I have reset the air/fuel mixture...

    '70 Fuel tank in my '66

    Thanks guys! The eucaboard board is pretty thin but strong, I believe 3/16". This was the only thickness they had at Home Depot and worked fine for my needs. I used it to create a backer board to put the carpet vertical behind the rear seats. I also used it to put down a floor for the trunk it 2...

    '70 Fuel tank in my '66

    Here's a pic of my 22 gallon tank in my 66: undercoated but uncarpeted trunk pic I used a 4x8 sheet of eucaboard and 3.5 yards of Ford Blue carpet and ended up with this as a finished product: Restoration and Modification of a 1966 Mustang "Restomod": Junk in the Trunk: The Finale :)

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Update: Ok, I removed the switched 12 volt lead from the "I" terminal and soldered it into the green wire with red stripe at the external voltage regulator. When I checked, that wire is switched on with "accessory" and "run", but not "off" or "start". (The fan will run if the temp is high enough...

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Thanks! Behind the instruments in the dash there's a triple connector that has a black/red stripe going to it that I think is switched power and should be 12 volts too. Not exactly sure though. I had planned to plug in my stereo head unit to there with a bullet connector. Can I use that one if...

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Thanks, I will run the switched positive wire from the green wire with red strip near the voltage regulator on the firewall. I think I can make it look clean. But if I want to run a new wire from the ignition switch, how would I do that?

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    I think that 25amp fuse I mentioned that was pre-installed with the fan is actually a 25amp relay. Sorry, I'm electrically challenged... :)

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Thanks! Here's how it's installed... Here's an old pic of the fan before i installed it. fan+wires.jpg (image) I followed the directions when I installed it :rolleyes:, only needing to hook up three wires. A ground wire, a positive to the battery (I have it going to the + on the solenoid...

    Engine runs rough when electric fan turns on...

    Ok, I'm stumped. I installed an Old Air electric fan setup last year on my modified '66 and the fan cools great. But when the fan turns on, the idle drops about 200rpm and gets rough. I saw 13.1v at idle with the fan on (and the MSD ignition running), so I bought a 3g alternator thinking...

    Anybody have shelby side scoops on their coupes?

    On that episode, Chip was discussing making the scoops lower profile before installing them, but they didn't show what mods if any he made. So the final product might not be what you can buy at the parts places. The scoops were originally intended to cool rear drum brakes in a racing...

    NPD Door Shell Assemblies (complete)

    Worked well for me. I bought a pair about a year ago, maybe longer, (Edit: bought summer of 2007) and was happy with them. These were the new and improved variety. The fit was excellent for a repro part. All the ancillary items fit fine (door handles, lock rods, felts, windows, etc.) The cost...

    Headlight Halogen Sealed Beam H6024

    I wish I saw that a few months ago. I paid about $120 for what appears to be the exact same thing from one of the mail order places..... :shrug:

    Fuel Tank swap 70 Mach 1

    I recently found that the brass floats, and the socks for that matter, were defective on two import senders I bought. You can buy a new brass float in a Ford package from NPD for about $6, which I recommend if you are replacing the sender with an import. I haven't had the sender itself go bad...
