    Ultra 454?

    I can only find them w/ 4-1/4" bs on a 17x8 wheel Will that fit my '66? They are advertised on Mustangs Unlimited as a wheel for my car, but most I have seen are running 4.5-4.75 bs.

    Disk brake kits

    I am looking to do a disk brake conversion on the front of my '66 coupe. I don't have a lot of money to spend so I would like to avoid having to get larger wheels at this time. It is going to be a nice daily driver with a little pep, but no real racing. Is the SSBC kit a good way to go...

    Brake Bleeding Issue-66 Manual Drum Brakes

    I believe the vent hose vents the axle, not the brakes. If you replaced the MC you may have to purge more than 6 times. Probably need to really bleed the system from the passenger rear to get all the air out. Someone else who has done it may be able to better answer.

    Why would this happen?

    do you also have a/c? Condensate drain could be leaking on that side too. The carpet and pad will stay wet and cause rust.

    Color Codes?

    Since they are new colors, the place where you buy your paint should be able to look them up. Performance White and Vista Blue?

    Dies when put into gear

    Sounds like you fixed most of the problem. Do you have A/C? Is it stalling only when the A/C compressor is engaged? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_10002_743627_-1

    Can you pull the steering colume out of the steering box?

    Dies when put into gear

    On my '66, that port is where the vaccuum line for the Automatic transmission kickdown is connected. May need to check to see if that is leaking also. I assume it should be blocked off on a manual trans car or if it has a cable kickdown. Once I got mine adjusted correctly there was only a...

    Dies when put into gear

    Is it dying at idle? Can you set the idle up a bit? I had to do this to mine until I finally got the timing and carb working together. Turned out that my timing was off because the outer ring of the harmonic balancer had shifted a few degrees. I had to manually find TDC and mark it and...

    Wanting to get a scale model of a 69 coupe

    not a 69, but I saw this in a catalog yesterday. http://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/whatonearth/Item_Mustang-Dumpyard-Model-Car_AX3522.html thought it was funny. Closer to what mine looks like than a regular model.

    Steering Wheel?!

    Buy the white one and put a red leather wrap on it. Chances are that if the white one is an original wheel, it will have some cracks too. My black one does.

    Am I Stupid? Why Do I Keep Thinking About Getting A Fiberglass Bumper

    Can you just take off the metal one on the race weekends? Do they require that you have 'something' there? Seems like a difficult proceedure to put it on and take it off all the time. Not to mention risky to your paint.
