    Replacing Dash Pad

    Just Dashes (Products) claims that they can restore them, but I don't know anyone that has had one done there.

    Some Things Don't Work When Cold

    I think that you have Crumbling Cluster Syndrome (CCS)! ;) Seriously, once the cluster plastic starts to soften and crumble, the flexible curcuit that provides the electrical signal to the instruments and lights just doesn't make contact very well. I personlly don't recall it being...

    Weird Device On Firewall.

    The easiest way to add the electric choke heater would be to find one on a donor car, although it may be that Holley or another manufacturer has a generic kit for sale. Your automatic mechanical choke should work just fine if adjusted properly, the electric heater is just to get it to open...

    Getting my AC/Heat up and running again.

    I found an article from a guy that swapped a factory AC system from one MII to another. It sounds like a lot of work, but its going to be the best fit for your car. The Mustang II Organization I've seen folks do an R-134A conversion on their MII using the Sanden rotary compressor instead...

    got some new wheels, thought id share pics

    The drop spindles are actually preferable to cutting coils or using shorter springs. With the drop spindles you keep your suspension travel, and you don't risk creating bump steer. the down side is mostly cost and the question of whether you are getting a good enough quality part. Spindles...

    Getting my AC/Heat up and running again.

    I must plead ignorance...all 3 of mine came with factory AC. I wonder what the overall proportion of AC/Non-AC production was?

    15x8 with 4.5 back spacing?

    I'm confused...the blue Fox GT in the pic has 5-lug wheels, but they are not 15x8...more likely 17x8 Bullitt wheels. The Mustang II has the same number of lugs as a Fox Mustang, so you would have to do a 5 lug conversion first. Its not a huge deal as these things go...use "Street Rod" 5-lug...

    Brandon, if you have the factory carb, it has an thermostatically controlled automatic choke. The electric wire is for a heater that brings the choke off earlier. The automatic choke should work fine without the heater, but will take longer to come off.

    got some new wheels, thought id share pics

    Keep the car dry and covered, and finish college! ;) No rush on the dimensions...I was just wondering if a spacer would be required to install these wheels if someone already had a 5-lug conversion. I don't think that the 425 lb springs are out of range for a V8 Mustang II. I've hear of...

    Getting my AC/Heat up and running again.

    Brandon, that is definately an aftermarket air conditioning system. The two black levers are probably the air inlet controls for the factory ventillation system. I can't tell you a lot about your aftermarket AC system, but if you can find some part numbers on the controls, an Internet search...

    got some new wheels, thought id share pics

    3-0-II, The car looks great with the flat (suede?) black paint and the gloss red stripe. What kind of black is that? If you have a couple of inches on the inside, you probably don't need quite so much spacer...but since you are doing a 5-lug swap soon, there's not much need to change...

    Hood/Cowl Damage

    I drove the crap out of my '76 and never lubed or adjusted the hood latch, and the hood never unlatched, not even to the safety catch. I would think that if it was abody flex issue, I would have discovered it with the way I drove that car. It even went off-road a couple of times... My '78...

    Weird Device On Firewall.

    On the device...I'm going to have to find my Chilton's to look that up. Does it have vacuum lines attached to it? What is the yellow thing...a dial or a cap? That red wire does not have a factory connector on the end. That's a pretty heavy wire too. You may have to trace the wires to see...

    Hood/Cowl Damage

    I have heard of a number of MII owners having their hood fly up causing damage to their hood or cowl. Apparently it happened to my '78 Ghia before I bought it as I have a crease in the cowl where the back edge of the hood would hit. I've heard of a couple of ways of preventing this, usually...

    SORRY BUT OMFG !

    I like the look of them as well, but pretty much the same way I like the look of the MII body on a Bronco 4WD frame...fun to look at, but not fun to drive. I hate driving next to the 22" and 24" donks because they are so darty and unpredictable on rough roads. At least in a lifted 4x4 you...

    Refinishing 78 Coupe Interior

    Convenient...when I opened the page there was a Stock Interiors ad there! I clicked and looked at the carpets. Its not clear to me whether you need "red" or "bright red". They will send samples. There are some interior pics on the mustangii.net site. If you can't find anything detailed...

    SORRY BUT OMFG !

    That thing has got to be nearly undrivable. Wouldn't you love to see the suspension mods? I saw a black Ghia on a YouTube Rap video about a year ago. There are pics here: Mustang II Network - Mustang IIs on Film - at the bottom - "Tell Me When To Go - E-40"

    Refinishing 78 Coupe Interior

    My '78 CBII with red interior and '78 Ghia with chamois interior both seem to have a mix of different colored. panels. The red has some panels that are darker red and some that are brighter red. The chamois interior has some panels that are gold and some that are chamois. I have not started...

    Can DOT 5 be used in a Mustang II

    DOT 5 has some advantages over DOT 3, 4, and 5.1: -It doesn't absorb water as easily, making it more stable over time. -It doesn't eat paint if you spill it. -It has higher boiling points so its better for racing. DOT 5 also has some disadvantages: -It is more...
