    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    Hi everyone. I haven't logged on in a really long time. Long story shorter (back story part), life got in the way with my Father/Son 1965 mustang project. (I'm the son. My dad is the body shop guy, 20 years of collision repair.) Most of the work I'm talking about was done 10 plus years ago...

    Replacement Rear Seat Bracket (fastback)

    I'm working on pulling up the rear seat mounts to transfer to a new floor pan. The rear seat mounts (long skinny bracket) on each side are in rough shape. They look to have "11 25 2" stamped in them. (Hard to see in the rust.) I have a fastback, but I think this part is the same for...

    Engine Tag decode: engine code no.

    On those little tags on intake manifold, the last block is the engine code no. What does this block mean? My book has 343-A and says it "Determines if parts are peculiar to a specific engine." My tag (from a 289 comet) has 577-J Another one online was 551-8 (or maybe 551-B, also a...

    what is a 65/66 8inch rearend worth?

    What is an 8inch rear end worth? Drum to drum. Unknow ratio. C7 casting on the center part. (aka 67 or any possible gears are in it). Light rust on it. The car it was on had some crazy big (wide) tires on it, so it likely has been abused. (The car was cut in half when I saw it, so...

    Holley Carb troubles (aka, why I am glad my DD is EFI)

    Well, I wanted to rebuilt a carb for practice/fun of it/silly reason here. (Holley 4brl, List1850, aka 4160/4150 series) Single pumper with vac sec. It is on a 289, likely a C code engine, but otherwise unknown with a manual 4speed. So, after finally getting a kit, we rip the thing apart...

    65GT/66 dash cluster question (what numbers do they mean?)

    Ok, on the 5 guage dash for 65GT/66, you have a oil presure guage and the temp guage, but no numbers. Short of putting your own mechanical test guages on their, how do you do how much oil pressure you have from the guage or what temp the car is running? My example: oil pressure changes a...

    carb rebuild (holley, list1850)

    I have a holley carb that is completely leaking gas, so rebuild time (way too much gas in the oil). First, the carb says it is a LIST-1850 and nothing else. I see kits mention 1850-#, but no "1850". Are these the same (mine is just an old revision)? It looks like this on the shoe horn...

    Oil pressure question

    Well, this is a '91 3.8L V6 (Thunderbird), stock and NOT super charged. This morning going to work, the oil pressure light was flickering on and off after the car warmed up. (Long nervous ride after I was already half way there.) This afternoon, no light at all (other than on startup...

    AOD shifting problem and swap question

    I am currently driving a 91 Thunderbird (3.8L V6, standard). (About 150K miles on it) The problem is that every now and then at a complete stop, it seems to stay in second. I remember reading something on this forum about C4s and a red dot drive or something where the C4 stays in second? Is...

    Functioning of limited slip vs standard diff in the snow

    This may be a little off topic, but I was driving in the snow today (my '91 bird, not the classic) and going up hill, the tires are slipping (of course). Left, right, left, right, keep it lightly on the gas and find your way up the hill (aka parking ramp of course). Now, I heard limited...

    Top Loader 4sp doesn't like 3rd down to 2nd

    I have a 4 speed top loader (HEH-BT, close ratio?) transmission with a Hurst shifter. ('65 289, some Holley 4brl and some 9in diff > 3.0) When we first got it, it was nearly impossible to shift into first gear. After a lot of linkage adjustments and adding 1.5 quarts of oil (it was low and...

    what is concourse correct?

    If I wanted to build an engine or a car to "concourse" (I hope I spelled that right) where would I find said concourse correct specifications? Does someone sell a book, or may be a website somewhere? Someone has to have a check list or something. I am looking for the 65 model...

    65 A Code Engine Questions (restore to orig)

    I have a 65 A Code Fastback, that I believe is a GT. (Past all tests I could find.) It has a 4th of April, 1965 build date. The trouble is, the engine is a 66. I want to go back to orignial (or at least as close as I can). (Shouldn't have trusted, the seller's the engine could have been...
