    Drivetrain Vibration From Rear

    When looking at t5 in my 67 v8 mustang, the transmission end yoke is about 3/4" lower than 8" yoke,and engine also points downward. t5 output shaft is not in the car's center but 3/4" off to the side. This causes strange drivetrain angles. And I suspects this causes vibration that I am getting...

    I made several changes to the suspension and since the completion a vibration is felt at steering wheel, especially when being in 1-3rd gear, or neutral - the wheel visibly shakes (in 4th gear stops shaking) The changes were: new lower control arms (moog k3601), low profile pirelli 225/45/17...

    rack and pinion (crossmember steel grade)

    This topic was discussed here many times on how to adapt J-car rack to 67 mustangs. IMO the crucial part (re safety) of this conversion is the custom cross-member. I would like to ask on the material (steel grade) that such crossmember should be made of. Is regular low carbon steel (iron) ok...

    improving 67 steering geometry

    There are bumpsteer kits that reduce bumpsteer by positioning outer tie rod ends about 1" under the spindle. Is there another way such as relocating inner tie rod ends? What is the best position they can be relocated, with a custom centerlink of course, or it is best to keep them were they are?

    gas leak / long cranking

    It takes a long cranking to start the v8 if it has been parked for a long time (over 1-2 weeks). The fuel falls all the way to the gas tank. Is it typical for mustangs/carbed engines? Do I have to look for a leak or another solution (e.g. pump with manual prime - do you know of any?)

    alternator and low charge

    I took 55A 1G Motorcraft to a repair shop because it makes only 13.5V charge at no load, and drops to 12.5V or so at load (all lights, gauges = 13A + el.fan =10A+charging system), and eventually (40 miles ride) discharges the battery. They tested diodes and said alternator should work. I am...

    low vacuum + runs rich

    My 302 makes only 14 inches of vacuum (when warm, 10 when cold) while wideband shows 12.5-13 AFR. I am sure there isn't any vacuum leak, and the engine does not react to propane or starting spray. It has mild 218/228 .471" lift cam, holley DP, its power valve is not leaking. The engine runs...

    I see often pretty engine bays with spark plug cables routed exactly as they supposed to be. There's quite a lot of combinations to figure it out. I have 8 OE Autolite cables in the box of different length let's say 1=shortest, 8=longest. Which cable goes to which cylinder? Firing order...

    reinforcing front fender

    Front fender on my 67 seems not keeping its nice and level shape. IMO it is due to weak inner fender. If someone sits on the fender you will soon see bends especially when painted shiny and dark. Both are OE ford fenders = thick, no rust sheet metal. I was wondering about instaling some...
