    Next issue: Axle shaft removal

    Step 1: Remove the drums and shoes Step 2: Take the four axle retaining nuts off. Stick your socket and extention though the hole in the axle (that is why it is there). Step 3: Bolt on a unwanted or un-loved rim on the axle Step 4: put a piece of 2" x 4' or suitable piece of scrap...

    Gas tank size

    The Mustang II Organization I think if your car is a 4cyl or and 6cyl it sould have a 13 gallon gas tank. If it is a V8 it should have an extra 3.5 gallon auxiliary tank (total of 16 1/2 Gallons). A goofy Ford afterthought which is essentially an extra big filler tube that usually leaks. If...

    New Chin Spoiler

    I found a mint valance at a swap meet, I picked it off the ground in disbelief, the price said $60.00. I was in shock, which the seller saw as contemplation. He said"Give me $40.00 and it is yours". I paid him so fast, I almost broke my wrist.:D

    New Chin Spoiler

    Opps sorry, I did not read the post well enough, didn't realize what you were really looking for. There was a dude on e-bay with a plan to make a Eleanor style body kit for Mustang II's. At the time he was selling the side exit, side skirts for a II, but in his little write-up he mentioned he...

    New Chin Spoiler

    I bought this one. It is made of very thin fiberglass, but it has held up very well. I drive my car daily in the summer. My car has had this spoiler for 6 or so years and it still looks new. :D Mustangs Unlimited - The Source for Mustang Parts, Shelby Parts, Cougar Parts and Accessories...

    Is TCI the only torque converter for a II?

    Do you know if, and by how much it improved your 60' or quarter mile times? Also how do you find it on the street? My buddy races alot and he told me to slow down to 15MPH in drive (I can because I have a manual valve body) and then punch it. The RPM it reaches before the car starts to...

    Anyone got this spoiler?

    I don't think I am going to bother with the spoiler. The idea behind the car was to have a 1978 Shelby GT350R, bare bones no nonsence performace machine. The Mach 1 is kind of a pretty-boy option, so sometimes I get conflicted. They say not only does that spoiler not create downforce, it...

    Is TCI the only torque converter for a II?

    I spoke to my big, big boss at my work (an avid drag racer for longer then I have been alive). He said to fill out a custom order form with TCI and they could take a little bit of bite out of the Streetfighter (if necessary). I always plan one modification ahead. The next step for the Mach is a...

    Now I need advice / opinion

    I am sorry, I don't like them. I want to, but I just don't. When adding anything to a II it has to match the lines of the car. This is really hard because everything on it is half round and half aggressively angular. Parts from bubble cars like the Taurus don't look right on it and parts from...

    Is TCI the only torque converter for a II?

    Is TCI the only torque converter for a II? From what I have found this is the only aftermarket Torque converter for a II?? :shrug: TCI Auto: C4 StreetFighter® Torque Converter 10 1/2" 70-up 9.375 Bolt Pattern Nothing wrong with TCI, this one is too aggersive for my combo. (3000 RPM stall...

    Does anyone have this spoiler??

    I have had II'S for 18 or so years and I find the "Pinto-Stang" haters are getting fewer and further apart. They seem to have re-directed their hate towards fox Mustangs. :rlaugh: My grade 3 teacher had a 1973 4 spd notch and she took us up a mountain road on a feild trip. That is when Mustang...

    Not sure where my ideas came from but........These 3 may have had some Influence:D (my three favorite looking non-Mustang II's) http://performanceford.com.au/images/stories/200704/bossmustang34090-s.jpg http://www.classyauto.com/image_large.php?image_id=299250...

    Does anyone have this spoiler??

    Thanks! My car is a strange Machine. Most Mach 1's are V6's, most of them did not have a T-roof. Mine was a factory V8 and a T-top, it likely would have cost more then a Cobra. Somebody really didn't like stripes I guess?:D I wanted to paint it a 1978 color but.......I don't like orange...

    Got the H.O figured out!

    I put a 1991 H.O 5.0L in the II (With Edelbrock Performer Heads). It has taken me almost all summer to get it working good. I have been messin' with 302 Fords half my life, but the H.O had me stumped! I finnaly was at wits end, I bought a wide band 02 kit from AEM. The carb was set-up for the...
