    Need EFI Help

    This manual is about the best step-by-step resource that I've found. http://www.vintagebronco.com/newberry/pages/tech/efi/efi.html I used it when I installed the EFI in my '65. The wire and connector colors in the manual are a perfect match for a '92 5.0 wiring harness. You might have...

    EFI Fuel Filter

    Stock tank with a low-pressure Carter pump (with a 100-micron pre-filter) feeding a 0.6-gallon surge tank. The Walbro draws from the surge tank through the 10-micron Aeromotive filter and into the engine bay. Return is straight to tank through the drain port for both the surge tank and engine...

    New Master Cylinder Defective?

    If you left the bleed valves open while you were pumping the brakes (forgive me if this isn't what you were doing - it's what your post seems to say), then you were drawing air into the lines every time you let the pedal back up. 1 Push down on brake pedal 2 Crack open bleeder screws (1/4...

    Aftermarket Seats??

    If you don't mind spending a few bucks, Speedware Motorsports (http://www.speedwaremotorsports.com/) will make you a custom slider for the race seats that they sell. I installed a Recaro (purchased from Speedware) and had them make up a slider / mount assembly, and it worked with no fuss.

    EFI Fuel Filter

    I have the Walbro GSL392 in line with the Aeromotive filter that's in my Summit link above. Works well...

    EFI Fuel Filter

    I used this one. No complaints. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=AEI%2D12301&N=700+4294925239+4294839051+400300+4294852562+115&autoview=sku

    EFI Conversion - Vacuum Troubles

    Bullitt -- I'm wondering if you can't fix this problem very simply. Some background: My setup (before I installed the Novi1000)-- Holley Systemax heads / cam / intake and equivalent components on the rest - all on a 306, stock A9L computer, 30# injectors, etc... The Lunati cam that...

    School me on rear ends

    OK, OK it's pretty! :lol: Actually I was referring to the appearance of the 57-9 Ford rear end itself which, depending on how deep the mud puddle is where it's been living for the last xx years, is bound to be carrying some corrosion and other nastiness... A new Currie unit is just bound...

    School me on rear ends

    Junkyard '57-9 Galaxie 9" rear end, good used trac-loc center member in a wide range of ratios from many possible donor candidates (Ford light trucks, full-size cars, etc), Mark VII rear disk brake conversion (www.ultrastang.com). Won't be as pretty as a new Currie unit, but it'll be strong and...

    58 Ford 9 inch in 65 Mustang - "Red 65"

    I believe that my aluminum driveshaft tube is 3.5" diameter. It clears the tunnel, parking brake linkage and exhaust fine normally, except for one time shortly after installing the rear and while still on the 6-cyl leaf springs, the rear end wrapped up and bounced the driveshaft off of the...

    headrest/shoulder restraints

    There are many options for seats with headrests. At the most basic end of the spectrum, National Parts Depot (and probably others) sells an add-on headrest that fits your stock low-back seats. However, a better upgrade that lots of people have done is probably to find a set of seats out of a...

    Started my engine for the first time!

    The glowing headers are very likely the result of an incorrect timing adjustment. Same thing happened to me and cleared right up when the timing was corrected. Don't run it too much before getting it adjusted. Congratulations!

    65 EFI Pedal Setup

    A second positive vote for the Walbro GSL392. I bought mine as a Holley 12-920, but it's the same pump (even says Walbro on the side). It's quiet and, so far, more reliable than the other pumps I've tried (stay away from the T-rex pumps, based on my experience). I mounted mine just in front...

    carb/fuel issue 289 2 barrel

    If you're quite sure the fuel pump is working and is pumping enough fuel (check a service manual on doing a volume test if you're not sure), it's probably a sticky needle and seat in your float bowl. The sure-fire cure is to take the carb apart, clean out the fuel inlet and remove whatever...

    t5 swap driveshaft length/vibration question

    I've got a '95 T-5 in my '65 with a custom aluminum driveshaft and it runs smooth enough (up to 132-ish mph at the track, anyway). The 1/2" shorter shaft shouldn't have any effect. Check and make sure the shop balanced the driveshaft properly. Ask them if it's possible that the balance...

    Built in residual valves

    I have SSBC brakes all around. In the front, they're the same (approximately) as the original Kelsey Hayes 4-piston brakes that came stock on 65-6 Mustangs with an 11" rotor. The rear has a 10.5" rotor with single piston calipers that SSBC scavenged from an ~'88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. The...

    Built in residual valves

    National Parts Depot sells a master cylinder for a 4-wheel disc setup, presumably with the lighter residual pressure valves that are appropriate. I'm not sure about the bore size, but I think it's actually 1". I just bought one, but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Might be a place to...

    jmc hydraulic clutch

    I have the JMC hydraulic kit with manual brakes. While it fits well with manual brakes, I don't think there's nearly enough room for a power brake booster. John, the owner at JMC (I think) was really helpful the last time I had a problem, and I'm sure he'd know the answer. Give him a call.
