    Export brace question

    It doesn't matter anymore now anyway. I went home last night and trimmed the export brace a bit so it doesn't rub. It would be amazed if you had a full inch between the outside edge of your export brace to the shock tower. Maybe your brace is made different from mine...

    Export brace question

    I will see if I can clarify. The ends of the export brace that cup upward. The outside edge of the cupped portion is flush up against the inner fender of my car and I don't know if it should be that way. If not, I will jack it back up by the cross member and let the shock towers spread a...

    Export brace question

    How much room do you guys have from the outer edge of your export brace to the inner fender ? Might just went in...and it's a tight fit. I just want to make sure it's installed right. There is no room between the two on one side and very little on the other. I am talking about at the shock...

    Alternator screech ??? but I still get 14 volts

    Just a follow up message. It was definitely the bearings going bad. I took the alternator belt off, ran it for about 10 secs and no noise. Checked the alternator and you could feel the rough pulley turn.

    Alternator screech ??? but I still get 14 volts

    Is it possible for the bearing to be going bad in an alternator and still get 14 volts of output ? I definitely get 14 volts when I test it with the multimeter. I swear the alternator is making the screech but I know it's possible that it's the bearings in the water pump as well. I haven't...

    Braided steel sleeve kit

    I have a braided steel sleeve kit that I opened and only used 6 feet of the heater hose. The other 6 feet of heater hose is still untouched. It also comes with the radiator hose, fittings and a sleeve for smaller lines and fittings. All of that is brand new and untouched. It's still rolled...

    Do a search on intake manifold gaskets and you will find a few threads that might help. It could be a gasket issue. It appears some 302s used different gaskets.

    Opportunity to buy a 65 Fastback GT K-Code - Questions!!!

    ALOT of it depends on how "original" he is claiming it is. Anything can happen to a 40 year old car. You can have a true k code car with very little original equipment of you can have an imposter. Alot of stuff can be faked. if he's claiming it all original then some stuff he can't...

    Autolite carb frustrations

    How is it rusted off on the manifold ? Is it possible to get a tube inside the broken off tube ? You should be able to make that work, you'd just have to get a fitting to hook up to the carb that also works with your tubing. You could also go with the regular tubing from the carb down to the...

    cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing

    Well it appears that the emergency flasher is suppose to be in the glove box. I looked at my wiring diagram and it clearly shows it at the front top left of the glove box. Not sure why mine was put where it was :shrug:.

    cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing

    This is my only Mustang....never really bothered looked at where that is on others to be honest. How is it mounted in the glove box. I don't think the current wires attached to it reach to the glove box but I will confirm that. I just checked the shop manual and that definitely didn't clear...

    cigarette lighter fuse keeps blowing

    Ok, here is the deal. My cigarette lighter has NEVER worked since I had the car. I can live with that, I don't smoke. The fuse is good. I am working on my car, I am working on my center console and I wiggle the flasher switch and the cigarette lighter fuse blows. I think the flasher...

    Why oil seems to be almost "milky" after EFI swap?

    That's a good point, you might try getting it up to temp and then retorque your intake bolts. Mine settled and needed to be retightened a few times.

    Why oil seems to be almost "milky" after EFI swap?

    That mystery oil probably isn't going to fix the problem. Now it is possible that you got alot of antifreeze in the lifter valley when you took the old intake off. It's definitely a good idea to change the oil when you change the intake for that reason. I don't know if you could get...
