    4 Barrel intake and carb

    The answer to this is both YES and NO! It is yes if it is the mustang carb, the 1.12 intended for a small block. It is a NO! if it is the emissions friendly carb intended for big blocks. Some will claim it doesn't matter and other will claim the big block carb just won't run...

    1969 ***PLAYBOY PINK*** FASTBACK MUSTANG

    I don't see much value in going back to factory if you don't put the I6 back in it. I understand why you want the V8 for power, but pink doesn't go hand in hand with this image. Also, putting in a V8 requires LOTS of other modifications that won't be factory for THIS car. (Both suspension and...

    289 date code help!!

    Look for something like this: 5L20 C5AE-6015E (It is behind the starter if the block is still in the car. And you MUST remove the starter to see this.)

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    Bummer. Glad to hear you made it back safe. That is very close to the color of my Fastback! I guess maroon was a popular repaint color.

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    You know what drum brake fade is right? So, be sure to use some engine braking to assist going down hill and don't forget to do a little backing up when you get the chance.

    What Mustangs had shaker hoods ?

    Cars were plain back then and people were cheap. It was a time when you actually got to pick the options on your car, instead of the color and maybe a package with options that are about what you want.

    Trying to make sense out of this (new to me) car

    That dash is either a 65GT or a standard 66 dash. The date code for the 65 door tag is May 28, 65 which could be a GT, except that is a T code (I6), so it cann't be a GT. The buck tag is a 66 Tcode I6, which the dash is ok for. Since GTs are uncommon, this makes me think it is a 66 car...

    Right Fuel Pressure for 65 Fastback?

    I thought blue smoke was burnt oil and black was unburnt fuel. How does too much gas flooding make it blue?

    real mach1?

    Hind site being 20/20... this is something you should have checked out before you traded.

    real mach1?

    The body type should be "05" in the VIN for a sportsroof/mach 1. (2f05XXXXXXX) The vehicle certification label should have 63R (NOT 63D) for a mach 1 over just a sports roof. I hope I gave you good news and not bad.

    Vin no. engine code doesn't match

    Well, lets rule out the easy things... is the engine even an A code engine? Is it a 4brl intake? If you are willing, pull one of the heads and see if the pistons are flat top pistons.

    is it worth the time to build up a 8 inch rearend?

    If you do go for the 8.8 or the 9in depending on the numbers and how matching your 8in is to a '65 April car, I would be very interested in buying the 8in from you. (I am in Milwaukee and I am guessing the diff is in northern IL.) So, my vote is you should upgrade today! :D

    Autolite 4100 Cal emissions difference?

    This has come up once or twice before on the differences. The bottom line is that the Cal emmissions one was designed for larger displacement motors then the 289/302. It isn't recommended that you get a cal emmissions unless you are putting it on a car that it was intended for. It is possible...
