    Bent clutch pushrod.? Does anyone make a hardened one?

    Mine bent because with other mods (T5 transmission, headers, etc.) the rod could not be aligned straight. The PO forced the rod into position to get the linkage to work, which put a bending stress on the rod. It worked for a few thousand miles then bent about 90 degrees. I solved the problem by...

    Total Noob question plz help

    :nice: $2000 for a 67 w/ V8 that runs great would be an absolute steal in this part of the country. There is one thing to worry about RUST. Be sure to carefully check the floor pans, quarter panels, fenders and bottom of the doors. Even though you are out of the RUST belt, there is enough salt...

    Anyone using the late 70's Ford electronic ignition? need Pics

    How about posting on the MustangSteve web site. There are several readers that extol the virtues of the Duraspark. Surely one of them has tried it and took a picture!!! http://members.boardhost.com/MustangSteve/

    new carb and intake

    Without other changes to take advantage of the 4v carb you will only see a minor gain. It's like taking a skinny date to an all you can eat restaurant. You can put all the food you want in front of her but if she has a small stomach, then she can only eat so much. You need to stretch out the...

    5.0 HO in '66 Coupe

    The above advice is good if you have a V8 in the car now. If it is an original 6 then you have other issues like rearend, front suspension and brakes, radiator, etc.

    JBA headers don't fit! help?

    Have you checked to see if the front of the car has saged in? Will a monte carlo bar fit? JBA has an excellent reputation. I'm just wondering if it is something to do with the car.

    Restoration "order"

    I'm in favor of getting the body work done to the primer stage before the mechanical work. Then get the drivetrain, electricals, etc. in order before the final paint. My experience on this is I lost all warrenties on mechanical parts while getting the body work done. Remember bodyshop time on a...

    T5 swap. Have questions

    I have the t5 with a lakewood scattershield (replaces old style bell housing), Center Force dual friction clutch, and originial linkage - it came this way from the PO. If there was one thing I would change it would be the linkage - just too many piviot (friction) points and the geometry changes...

    Hidden Power?

    There is a lot to be said for a stock build and the power of a 289 C is adequate for daily driving. I can appreciate your dad's concept. Being one myself, I'm not too crazy about my 17 y.o. taking my modified mustang out for a night on the town. (The insurance company isn't too happy about it...

    Opinions Needed!!

    I drove a beige mist metalic mustang for several years until I realized that I hated the color and was keeping the car so why was I concerned about lowering the retail value? The vintage mustang community is huge and IMHO there is room for the concours croud and the restomoders. Some will be...

    Shameless plug o/t

    Yep - bought her last May and drove form Oregon to WV. Check out my documentation of the trip. http://johnz.mustangsandmore.ws/ Pretty gutsy to buy a car that was rebuilt by an amature and assume that a 3000 mile trip was just the thing to break in the car! But everything went fine.

    late model T-5 in '68 Mustang

    The balance of the flywheel must match the engine. If you have a 28oz in the car now you must stay with a 28. If you need the 50 oz to match up with the clutch you are using, you can have it rebalanced to 28 oz by a GOOD machine shop.

    Shameless plug o/t

    By all means link away. When I click on bswor's page I get the link http://www.1969stang.com/articles/windshield.html, not the original VMF-FAQ where the article was originally published. That is why I believed he copied the page. I then looked at the source code and sure enough, he has...

    Body Shop Headaches

    Probably, you need to understand bodyshop time. The 2 week repaint of my car started in September (or was it August???). It is now ready for me to pick up to put the lights and chrome on! Unfortunaltely, the roads are snow packed so I cannot get it until later. However, I am at a very high state...

    Shameless plug o/t

    Two of the how to articles appear to be lifted from other sites. I wrote the windshield removal article and allowed Tom Schmidt to post it on the VMF FAQ site, http://links.vintage-mustang.com/FAQ/window_removal.html . (If you go to this site you will get the pictures with the article.) I'm sure...
