    anyone with nitrous on their classic got pics?

    NOS Implementation I'm the one with the 64.5 trunk. I've done a few special things for my NOS implementation both for safety and ease: 1. Fuel purge in addition to NOS purge 2. Square bore carb solenoid mounting plates 3. Integrated control circuit design with Dakota Digital...

    gas tank pick up

    The attached is the trunk just prior to NOS tank installation (It's a one gallon aluminum fuel cell. I'll take a pic tonight of where and how I mounted everything. In a nut shell, I built a retangular frame that allows me to mount two big FRAM fuel filters and one Holley elec. pump. The NOS...

    Body update changes - opinions?

    I'm not familiar with the rear wheel wells of "newer stangs" I'm really only familiar with the 64/65/66 BUT the best body mods I ever made were to all the fenders. Rear fenders: beat out the lip and with original metal only flared the fenders out about 1.75-2" then took an aluminum wire...

    gas tank pick up

    Interesting modeling the flow...let me know if you do what you find. I make about 430HP @ the flywheel and found the stock lines in a 64.5 to be adequate. I did several 1/4 mile runs and never had a starvation issue. In fact I can turn off the fuel pumps from the cab and on occassion have...

    Trunk Pooper woes

    Hi Folks; Installed a new solenoid trunk popper in my 64.5. All went well, it works great! Until I re-installed the lock. Why i did not think of this before is a great question...but we're past that. The lock mechanism and the shaft that roates the actual mechanical lock in the trunk...

    Ok, so the rack&pinions suck... What are we gonna do about it?

    It seems to me that the primary issue folks have is COST. Several comments suggest that as well. There are a couple things to consider on any steering purchase: 1. Safety, safety, safety. 2. Repair part availability 3. Cost of repair parts 4. Simplicity of installation 5...

    64.5 Painless wiring: steering column

    Yes mine is intended to be grounding the horn relay in the original. I think I have figured out the horn wire. I think it is the Yellow Painless wire in the 6 pin connector. I cannot find any references to the yelloow rire in the painless instructions.

    64.5 Painless wiring: steering column

    Electrical Gremlins

    Here's my .02. #1. Unless your real experienced or an electrical type ground issues and loose connections are difficult and can be a real mind-screw. Loose connections and high E-fields (very much like those generated by a starter coil placed across the battery) can easily cause...

    Rear Brake Line Flex Hose I have converted all brake and fuel lines, hard and soft over to AN fittings, steel braid, and stainless hardline. It solved a couple issues for me; 1. I need only one type of pressure fitting everywhere in the car; - Brakes - Fuel - AC...

    Getting all NEW stuff for the 54.5 I am almost complete with a totally new parking break set-up. However, the new pull handle with pulley does not have an integrated 'keeper' for cable retention. The book shows a cable retaining plate to the side of the pull handle for the fairlane but it is...

    Wheelhop?

    Wheel Hop? I agree with your usage of air shocks BUT: 1. If you need air shocks because when two people sit in the back of the car then there is another problem you need to solve. 2. If you need air shocks because you tow with your Mustang then there is another problem...
