    You should ask this in the tech section, more likely to get answers there from those that are familiar with it.

    Hard Starting: Looking for possile leads...

    My instincts are telling me your choke is causing you these problems, your not getting enough air intake on start up and then the plugs get soaked. I think when you are lucky enough to get it to fire up the suction opens the choke just enough to keep it going. My impression is the choke is...

    Drip Rail Moulding Weatherstrip/Sealer

    I got a magazine in w/ a box of parts when I bought my car a short time back. The mag. is by www.texasmustang.com and it has a lot of the rubber parts like your talking about. Off hand I don't recall seeing exactly what your looking for but they may have it, I need it also on mine. On their...

    Re: The crashed mustang in S Carolina

    Thanks for posting the pics, I now have a use for a sheet of steel I had laying around wondering what to do with. Man I never thought about something like this happening but it's a possible reality everyday on the road. I think that fire extinguisher as well that's been shoved around in my...

    Car wants to crank when hooking up battery

    Yea I learned that in the past 7 weeks since I owned mine. This past week is the first time I've spent more hours driving it than working on it. Eventually all the bugs get worked out and the scale tips in the direction of more quality time driving than time spent wrenching. The scale here...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    Yea the corvair did still look good after a year. On white paint Ajax will get the paint super clean and "appear" at least to leave no scratches, it doesn't work however I've found on other colors that I tried it on regarding old junkers. That's at least one tip if anybody does go with an oil...

    How Not To Paint Your Mustang

    Lucky at least you didn't take off the clear coat. I was going to tell you to look into 3M's products as well after getting a chance to read your post all the way thru but chromedog allready has. I never used the 3M yet but I heard by painters it was the ones to get for a nice glassy finish and...

    WTF has a new meaning to me.....

    ha ha, I came up w/ that because my brother who's a church goer got tired of hearing me cuss constantly when one thing would break right after we fixed another on my Stang. He told me I have to stop cussin so much if he was going to keep helping me out so I said OK, from now on I'll say "Why...

    Car wants to crank when hooking up battery

    Yea now that you mentioned that I remembered my brother doing that "back in the day", tapping a wrench on the solenoid to reset it. A lot has been comming back to me as I keep reading different posts like this one as it's been 30 years since I wrenched on one of these. The good old days when...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    "Allmost" denying it can be done?, yes, in part I am by the "average person" that has very little to no experience working w/ paints, especially oil based. I've painted w/ auto paints as well as oil based on vehicles. The only time I used a roller and brush was on an old Chevy pickup that got...

    How Not To Paint Your Mustang

    I wasn't aware they made urethane in a base/ clear coat but didn't look into it enough when I should have. I painted my Silverado black urethane this spring with the single stage, found out later you can clear it w/ a 50/50 mix of color and the clear for the final coat. I was told I had to...

    Car wants to crank when hooking up battery

    I would have suggested to try that 5 minute wait but then if it's on it's way to overheating as well, then you have me stumped here on what to try. So when the car was headed toward overheating, the fan was off but you turned it on manually? D.Hearnes post might just be the solution you...

    "Paint your car for 50 bucks" I am going to try it.

    Only $15.oo for the DVD on how to paint my classic w/ oil base paint, NO THANKS PAL!!!! If anyone's even considering this DON'T ruin your car. I've sprayed the oil based paints over older non classic junkers and within a year or less the paint has lost all shine and will continue to despite...

    Car wants to crank when hooking up battery

    First off, you did two things before the problem started, solenoid and wired in an elec. fan. (just assuming you did the bat. cables correct but recheck them anyway) Backstep, unhook what you did for the fan if it's not to difficult and then recheck, you should have your positive post on...

    Project Outsourcing Tips and Lessons Learned

    Yea, two words, TAPE RECORDER Once something is agreed on in full detail, say a paint job, tell the guy OK now lets say and agree to it all on tape so there is no confusion later down the road as to what is to be done and how. If they won't do it, walk away. Years ago I had a guy paint my...
