    Rebuilt the 5.0 but it's got an oil leak

    Ok so I ran the car again last night. Was dry for a while then a drip down below followed by another but wasn't coming off trans spacer area. Shut down and had a good look up from underneath and I could see the rear corner of the pass side head was wet with oil. I removed the valve cover and...

    Rear main seal leak??

    What type of motor is on the car? If it's factory 2 pc seal then I'm not sure but if the car has a later model 5.0 V8 such as something out of a Fox Mustang the rear main is a one piece and can be replaced in the car. Pull trans to access.

    Rebuilt the 5.0 but it's got an oil leak

    Thanks guys. I would say the leak is fairly bad (a spot about 8" x 4") under the trans spacer and there seems to be oil on the pan bolts near the rear as well. Last night I removed the pan and found a couple of fairly large gobs of cured RTV right at the corner by the rear cap. I'm hoping this...

    Rebuilt the 5.0 but it's got an oil leak

    Ok so I was getting all excited as things are getting nearer to completion. Two winters ago I rebuilt the motor (out of an 87 Fox GT). All new seals, bearings in the motor and I was pretty careful to check and torque everything properly. Heads are new aluminum ProComp. Fired up the engine and...

    Paint and Body Exhaust is in. Paint next but I need help with door alignment

    Ok I have done some more work on the Fastback. All running gear is now in the car, American Autowire harness is installed except not connected at dash until the dash is painted. Just finished custom fabbing a 2 1/2" exhaust with H-pipe off of Hedman shorty's. Now looking towards paint. One...

    Thanks, there's not much on either side but yes there is a small gap there.

    Opinions On Header To Clutch Cable Clearance.

    Hey guys. I'm getting around to looking at doing the exhaust. I'm running non-ceramic Hedman shorty headers (I did paint them with a ceramic paint and baked in oven though) and 2 1/2" exhaust. On the drivers side the collector exits very near the cable clutch so I did up a homemade heat shield...

    A note on gauges. Trying to do things without breaking the bank can be a challenge. Instead of going with a known gauge mfr I bought a set off e-bay for $41. They are all electric as I prefer not to use mechanical gauges. They seem ok and are brightly illuminated with LED lights but they are...

    Progress Thread About To Run American Autowire

    Just thought I would post an update. The wiring under dash to the front of the car is all in place. Still need to run the rear body harness but I'm going to do that after paint as it's pretty easy. Haven't put power to it yet but hope to do so in the next while and will hopefully be in business...

    Have You Ever Taken The Car Apart And Cannot Find Something You Removed?

    LOL...my grandfather was a machinist. He used to joke around and say 'before you start any project grab a handful of nuts and bolts etc. and throw them in your tray. That way when you're done and there's parts left over it's nothing to worry about'.

    1965 Wiring Clips Along Rocker

    Thank you. Checked on NPD and part number works but none avail there either, all out of stock. Just going to have to come up with another method for these me thinks.

    1965 Wiring Clips Along Rocker

    Does anyone know where to buy this wire clip? These are the clips that hold the rear harness in place as it runs along the rocker panel under the scuff plates. Can't seem to find this particular clip amongst the types available at some of the larger suppliers.

    Interior and Upholstery Electric Gauges Volts, H2o Temp, Oil Press

    Does anyone know where you can buy a three gauge set with electric, not mechanical gauges? On-line they all seem to be mechanical but I hear so much about keeping the fluids out of the cabin in case of a failure and to go electric. I found one set from Autometer but it's a mini and the gauges...

    66 With Heavy Vibration

    Just going on what's here I'd say it's likely part of the rotating assembly being out of balance. Is there any associated noise such as clunking etc especially at higher rpm? Does the vibration occur when the car is stationary with rpms up? If not you could have a drive shaft that's out of balance.

    Progress Thread About To Run American Autowire

    Ok things are progressing along with the AAW harness. I took my time and did a lot of reading and familiarized myself with the instructions and the different branch circuits first. Once I had the harness more or less organized I wrapped each branch with split braided loom (Techflex). Once that...

    Progress Thread Bench Testing Wiper Motor

    Does anyone know how to bench test a single speed, no washer wiper motor? There seems to be all kinds of info on 2 speed setups but I can't find anything that identifies what wire is doing what at the harness. I.e. which is the 12v power, ground etc. for a single speed w/o washer. I have a...

    I took the plunge and bought the AAW crimpers. May as well do this right. Have the kit now and will be doing it over the winter. I'll post as I go.
