    1966 6 cyl stalls going uphill

    I don't remember those, from what I remember that type of filter screwed directly into the carb. I wonder what it's purpose was? Can you take the guts out of it and just use it as a fitting? Unless it's a pressure regulator ? I'd gut it and see how it runs.

    1966 6 cyl stalls going uphill

    Little background would help, is this your daily driver, did you just get it, did you just do some work to it, does it happen with a full tank? What do you mean by stalls, dies completely? Does it skip for a bit before it dies? Then what happens?

    1968 GT Fastback -390 install

    It will definitely be fun with the 390. I had a '69 Mach with the 428, had a blast with it, just could never get it to hook up good off the line. But it was damn right nasty once you got it going 30.:) Oh, and you couldn't breath on the throttle in the rain or she'd turn around and head home.:cool:

    1968 GT Fastback -390 install

    In stock form, you can boil the tires off a 68 Mustang with a 200 six. Now add a couple hundred HP and a few hundred pounds to the nose and it will melt tires by breathing on the pedal. So it all depends on what you are after. Ideally that car should have a built 289-351 windsor, for FUN the 390...

    1966 Mustang Front Wheel Bearing wobble

    Horse sence, he moved the problem to the other side when he swapped the drums. I'd put that hub and drum on a lathe to see if it's true.

    1968 fastback 289 front coils are causing me stress

    Never thought the bearing type perches were a good idea, the originals with the brass bushings were probably a much better idea. Needle bearings need a lot of movement to remain lubricated, were a bushing can stay in one place and still function as a bearing surface. Just my 2 cents.

    Progress Thread Gas mileage

    Mileage has more to do with how you drive than any other factor. I could get 20 mpg taking it easy with my '70 ragtop with a 351 and 3.00 rear gears, but I usually got 15.

    1968 fastback 289 front coils are causing me stress

    You need a spring compressor to put the springs in. And there is no way of telling how the springs will act on the car until they are installed and driven. If you want the front lowered an inch, use the ones they are sending you, but you will need a spring compressor to put them in. If you don't...

    1968 fastback 289 front coils are causing me stress

    You didn't say what was wrong with the first set, and why do you think CJ is going to send you the wrong set? And what do you think is going to be wrong with them? And what are you trying to accomplish?

    1966 Stalls

    drive it again, buy a simple spark tester that plugs into the spark plug wire, when it dies do 2 things. Check for spark at the plug, and see if the coil is very hot. Spark tester will tell you if it is a fuel or a spark problem before you start throwing parts at it. And a bad coil will...

    1966 Stalls

    "run rough then stall", idling or running down the road? After it dies, does it crank slow, or fast? Does it try to start or just spin.

    1966 Mustang Front Wheel Bearing wobble

    Have the drum turned. You may have bent it when you did the bearings. And it will tell you if it is bent as soon as they put it on the brake lathe. If it isn't bent , buy a new one anyway, if the problem followed the drum, the drum is the problem.

    Restomod price range?

    Well the '69 coupe I did cost me about 10K in parts and supplies and the squirt, and it was in far worse shape than that. I did full floors and both rear quarters and one fender.. And from what I've seen the parts prices haven't gone up much in the last 10 years, however I did all the work...
