    Installed Aluminum Radiator

    I put in my aluminum radiator from Crites Restoration today along with a new water pump, fan and shroud in an effort to solve my overheating problem. I do not believe it solved it however I have not done much problem solving. It seems to just slowly rise in temperature until it overheats. I have...

    sudden over heating

    I think I am having the same problem. I had it in the shop for a while and when I took it home I noticed it was overheating when I was just idling. I have since done just about everything to try and fix it new aluminum radiator, new water pump, new 6 blade fan, shroud. I have not done the timing...

    Two questions. . .

    Thanks for the replies! My old 65 water pump would not fit on the new 66 engine. I looked this up and found I had an early 65 water pump casting and it would not fit on later years. So I am using the water pump that came on the new engine, which I believe is a 70 pump as the shaft is much...

    Two questions. . .

    Ok first I swapped my old siezed 65 289 out with a rebuilt 66 289. The engine I got seems to have a 70's style water pump as the bottom inlet is on the drivers side. I seem to be having radiator/fan fitment problems and was wondering if the 70's one has a longer shaft on the front which would...

    Por 15 on undercarage

    Well this is how it turned out for me. I was not going for complete cosmetics as I am planning on covering it all up, and most of my trunk is fiberglass from p/o anyways. Im 17 and with limited knowledge and tool access this is the result:

    Por 15 on undercarage

    I used Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator in my trunk which seems to have less prep work involved. I have never used POR-15 before though. I planned on using it on the underside also. I was thinking washing, wire wheel or stiff wire brush, washing, then Rust Encapsulator. I really liked how it turned...

    New Radiator Died

    Well I installed a new Griffin aluminum custom fit radiator which cost me $350 to fix my overheating problem. I had it all in and it fit nicely with the bolt holes however the fan looked a little close. Turns out it was after i turned it over. The fan connected onto the radiator and bent a ton...

    Overheating

    Sorry for bringing this back up, but I am still having a little trouble. I had replaced the t-stat with a 180, facing the right way yes. My new temp gauge from auto-zone has the sensor in the heater line so everytime the t-stat opens I can see the temp go down. So I sit in the car watching it...

    Overheating

    Wow, thanks for the replies. Sorry forgot to say I also replaced the t-stat and it idles around 700 rpms. I had flushed the cooling system and refilled after running so no pockets, also put in water wetter. The plugs looked fine, I checked them all. I did use regular spray paint though. Looks...

    Cowl Braces vs. Export braces

    I believe the earlier cars, 64 1/2-65, had the weld on braces and the later cars, 66-73, had bolted on braces. I think structurally you would be better off with a new stronger steel tubular design, but if you want a more original look the bolted on braces are fine. I have a 65 with a welded on...

    Sound deadening in a 65

    I am no expert on this subject however, I have been looking into this recently for my own project. I have found Fatmat on eBay also and find the price very tempting because of Dynamats outrageous prices. However, Fatmat is made of asphalt where as Dynamat and other more expesive brands such as...

    Trunk Restoration

    Wow. Thanks a lot for the fast responses! Matter of fact I have an eastwood magazine right here on my floor. I looked at their Rust-Encapsulator which I am guessing is what you mean. I think I'll just order that in spray cans for just a trunk job because after googling it I found good results...

    Trunk Restoration

    Thanks a lot for the response. Do you happen to know if I can get POR-15 at Autozone or an equivalent car shop? Also for better bass and sound quality should I paint over etching primer then put undercoating? Or skip undercoating and do some sound-deadening matting or something like Dynamat...

    Trunk Restoration

    I have a question about how I should go about restoring my trunk. I have sandblasted all the rust off and now I am trying to decide how to protect it from further rust. I will be putting two subwoofers for my sound sytem in and would like to undercoat it for rust prevention and for better...

    Guys---the mustang is wrecked........

    I am very glad you are alright. It really sucks when a problem happens with your mustang. I am 16 and my engine just went completely, block and all. I have no idea where the money is going to come from either, but my parents also will probably helping me out. But like you said, look at the...

    Ebay BOSS

    Just as I figured. Thats why I did not get my hopes up. Edit: Hah! Look what I just came across again. . .It was in MA yesterday now its in . . .CA! So sad. He lowered the Buy It Now also to $5000. In his description he talks about BOSS facts, if he knew what he had than it would not be $5k.

    Ebay BOSS

    I was wondering what you guys thought about this BOSS 429. It is listed on ebay and is relatively near me. But the price he is asking for Buy It Now seems way to low to be true. I checked the vin he gives and it seems to be right...
