    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Against all belief and odds, I'm still alive . . . in Texas back in the old business. :) And Lisa is alive, well, and spoiled rotten.

    Did you name your Mustang and Why

    All our vehicles get named . . . My '65 is Peg(asus). My son's, formerly Lisa's, Mustang is (Lisa's) Baby. My wife's current is Rhett (Butler). Our '85 GT was named Domino. My Probe GT was named Crystal. The van was named Vinne. Our Charger R/T was Athena. Many others . . .

    Advise on hood scoops 65 Mustang

    Not going to lie . . . I've never noticed that! LOL! I originally got the hood because I put a (nother) 351W in, but with the big(ger) air filter, it wouldn't fit under the normal hood . . . shown below :) : There's a 351W under that hood, and the little Shelby scoop is for looks, only...

    Advise on hood scoops 65 Mustang

    It's not a scoop, but I have a Maier cowl hood, and I really like it. The thing went right on, and I'm on my second paint job (probably ready for #3), soon. One from 2001 (hood is 6 years old here): One recent: BTW,, the kid in the picture is now driving Lisa GT's mustang in college...

    T5 vs Toploader 4 speed???

    I'll echo some of the things the team here has said. Probably any transmission will work . . . UNTIL you start dumping the clutch and getting traction. I'm old, and my setup is old, but, for the most part, we're both still running. :) In 1994 I updated my '65 coupe with a 351W (409 stroker)...

    Power brake booster recomendations ?

    Hey Viper, an option is a "manual" Baer M/C setup with a disc setup. I was VERY hesitant to try a "manual" system with a 4 wheel disc setup . . . for some years, but I did it and I'm "relatively" happy with it. Let me explain . . . I have a "manual" pedal setup and not the power unit on my...

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    Excellent observations my good man! Wilwood recommended that setup to me, as well. I found out the same thing i.e. there are different pedal setups for a manual and power system. The power systems have something like a 3:1 ratio while the manual systems are 5.5:1. I REALLY wish this would...

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    Latest update: We put a pressure gauge on the fronts, rears, and directly at the master cylinder. Max on the rear was 500 PSI. Max on the fronts was 800 PSI, but it was both feet on the pedal and breaking the seat back. Pressure at the master cylinder wasn’t different, so there’s no...

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    I've got the MC for 4 wheel discs, so I'm supposedly good there. Today, I DID learn that I have a whopping 500 PSI at the front calipers (should be 900-1,200), so . . . I think we're narrowing down the problem.

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    I've heard the same thing i.e. you need a disc / disc setup on the MC. That's what I've got, of course, and it still doesn't work. I want to believe that's the problem, but, sadly, I can lock the rears just . . . sort of . . . but not the fronts. And I've seen a bunch of great reviews for the...

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    Hey, thanks for the heads up there! We're going to put a pressure gauge on the calipers and M/C to see what that reads. If we're around 900 PSI, then we'll probably pursue something like you're talking about. I'll let you know what happens.

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    Okay, here’s my latest and greatest. I called Wilwood, and they were a lot of help. Needless to say, they know brakes. I got expected pressures from them at the caliper (900-1,100 PSI with anything over 1,200 being damaging to the calipers). They also asked about pedal ratios and other...
