    Jon, If you have the correct smog heads and no tubing, there should currently be a plug on the upper rear of each. I'd expect you would find either a regular hexhead bolt or a square head bolt having been used to plug the holes the air injection tubes went into. If you have no such plugs or...

    Stupid rear end question

    The original poster stated the car was a KC, so perhaps in that regard one could say they all had the 8 in rears. However, the trac loc was not available in 78.

    But, someone else may have. Don't rule out the possibility too, that the heads themselves may have been changed. After de-smogging, that was something else I did.... back in the old days. :D

    do you have any idea how hard it is to stop a speeding II with stock wheels?

    Remember too, that you're trying to stop a car with brakes that were designed for a II and a Pinto without a V8 engine. Add the extra weight and a few extra horsepower to actually get these things rolling over say 100mph, and even the power assisted ones aren't going to slow you that fast. The...

    emissions

    Jon, the tubing screwed into the upper rear of both heads. I just thought you might check here to see if there is any sign of previous removal/tampering, and see what's currently being used to plug the holes. Anyone that would have gone to the trouble of removing the pump, would most likely...

    A slight correction to my previous post...I meant tubing to the heads, as opposed to the exhaust manifolds.

    emissions

    I could initially agree to the cars being shipped to Canada as being likely to not have the air pump and related emissions equiptment. This would be conceived in part, from information I had posted recently in another thread (according to my factory shop manuals) that some II's with the V8...

    Put on the rack

    MVMA specs show the stock II manual rack at 4.5 turns (stop to stop) and 3.0 for the power unit.

    And if you don't look at it from the salesman's perspective, you will almost certainly get it stuck to you most every time. My initial point being, that when you buy a car on emotion or impulse or when being upside down in a trade, you are looking at any deal thru rose colored glasses in a...

    VIN: 1ZVFT84NX55198888 - Is that 198,888 Mustangs?

    It's been my understanding in the past, that the production numbers are not broken down to indicate speciffic models, ie; GT/V6 etc.

    Lemon Laws and our Warranty

    There was a link at the bottom of this web page a few min ago about Lemon Laws. Apparently they keep changing...you might keep a watch for it, or do a search under that title...I'm sure you can find all the info you seek.

    traded in my 05 v6

    Yeah.. he DID give it to you, and really didn't do you that much of a favor either as I see it. It was the least he could do. He probably figured he was pushing his luck to ask for additional markup too, but I'll bet that didn't deter him from trying anyway. ie;("lengthy negotiating") He...

    Dipstick Length?

    Yes, the II V-8's did use a shorter filter than the FL-1A...but, (at least for '76) service and owners manuals still recommended 4 quarts + 1 extra with filter change. However, I do have one chart that says (for '75 cars) 3 1/2 +1, which would coincide with what you said. I remember switching...

    Dipstick Length?

    Update...the safe mark is 16" down from where the stick seats into the top of the tube. The add mark is an additional 3/4" past that. That leaves another 1 1/4 to the end. If the taller stick isn't hitting anything, I'd think that you could just drain the oil and refill with five quarts, (then...

    Mustang II popularity

    I agree and disagree at the same time. Your point is well taken. But, while many people thought exactly as you stated, I believe some others felt it was supposed to be basically the SAME kind of Mustang that Ford built in 1964. In other words, a return to the Mustang that WAS. I think the bad...

    Mustang II popularity

    Good points Mustangj... but, at least the II still looked like a Mustang as opposed to the Probe. Regardless... to the performance crowd of the time, the II's simply missed the mark completely. The fact they were so unique in many ways too (as you pointed out), was no doubt a real turn off for...
