    new brake lines dual master cylinder

    get a straight brake line section at a local auto parts store for about 4 dollars each and bend them to the shape of the old ones. Start at the proportioning valve and work out to the wheels. A tubing bender can be "borrowed" at Autozone for making bends or bend them around a spray paint can...

    T5 Question

    I think the speedometer output on the V6 is electronic pulsed and not a mechanical cable like we have in our cars. You may want to check that out to be sure or you might be having to deal with gauges. I have heard the shifter is 1 inch farther back so you will be also cutting some of the tunnel...

    T5 Question

    The T5 from 94 v6 has the same ratings for torque and gear ratios as the earlier 85 to 89 5.0 Mustangs. If I remember correctly the input shaft might be long. I would also think with that many miles on it, it would be a crap shoot on how many more it had left in it. I put together some info on...

    I Installed 7 inch Xenon lights with H4 bulbs from an Ebay dealer. They are slightly blue. They also burned out after 6 months. Replaced the H4 bulb with a halogen H4 and have not had any problems since You will also need to add relays to handle the extra current that will be needed but it...

    Head Light Wiring

    That looks like a really good set up for a great price. I spent that much for mine just in parts and wire and that one is already built

    driveshaft dimensions

    .750 to 1.00 inches of freeplay is recommend. There is no real need to cut the yoke to shorten it but it wont hurt if you do. The first inch or so of the yoke has no splines cut in it Pics and info on my aluminum DS when I installed the T5: Drive shaft

    Radiator madness

    You can also gain cooling by also going wider on your radiator. The 66 has a 17 inch wide stock radiator and you can trim the radiator support and mount a 20 inch unit from an 67 in it. Mustang Steve has a write up on it on his site. I used a 20 inch 2 row aluminum radiator with an electric...

    12V switched power source in 1968 mustang

    The "I" post on the starter solenoid connects to the pink resistor wire and it also goes to the coil. The resistor wires reduces the voltage and is not really 12 volts. MSD ignition boxes have problems if you connect to the I post because of the voltage drop needed by the original coil. Im...

    Where to get a driveshaft for a 66

    I have the aluminum DS from Street or Track. Made by Coleman and is a quality unit. The local DS shop wanted 150 to cut, balance and rebuild the steel one when we did the T5 change out. Decided to go aluminum instead. Pictures from our change out with info: Drive shaft

    any body ever try this company and disc brake kit?

    I would do the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes kit. It will install without having to take apart the suspension and having to realign the front end. The KH calipers are also what came original on the cars with disc brakes. You will love how well it stops and easy it is to install. Give Dennis a call...

    1966 coupe - Shoulder seat belts install help

    I installed the 3 points in my 66 coupe but did not mount it to the roof. I mounted it to the door frame. The down side is in a wreck it can compress your back but it will save you from being impaled on the steering wheel or face planting into the dash. It was a very easy install and...

    Aluminum vs Copper Radiators

    The 17 inch stock radiator was barely adequate to cool the 289 engines. The aluminum will give better cooling and a fan shroud will help pull air through at low speed. Our car is a restomod so I do not care about keeping it original. I modified the opening to accept a 20 inch aluminum...

    any body ever try this company and disc brake kit?

    you will also need a Disc/Drum master cylinder and proportioning valve. Take a look at CSRP for their kit. It will be the same price when you factor in the MC and prop valve and slotted discs.

    Primer

    Another recommendation for SPI epoxy and high build primer. Acid etch is not recommended or needed with SPI epoxy. It is also about half the price of the other brands. Here is a very interesting forum for professional painters on how most other epoxy primers can be wiped off with thinner and...
