    Engine temp

    HiPo 289 Hot start problem

    My 289 HiPo with a high rise manifold, holley carb and electric choke, starts fine when cold after pumping pedal one or two times. Hot starting is another story. Sometimes, it will start fine when hot, but most of the time, it just turns over as if it's not getting fuel. At times, I've pumped...

    Moving brake lines

    Has anyone here moved the rear brake lines on a 65/66 from a single exhaust configuration in the trans tunnel to outside of the exhaust like a factory style dual exhaust setup? If so, what parts are needed? If it makes any difference, I have a 9" rear axle.

    Interior Paint

    I'm looking for an enamel interior spray paint that will match original factory colors. I painted my 65's console with a Rainbow interior enamel, that was supposed to match the original white, but it's closer to yellow. I need to repaint with another enamel. Any idea about who's enamel really...

    Under dash Air Vent

    I have a 65 Mustang without AC and without a heater. It was built from the factory as a heater delete car. The driver's side of the dash has the standard fresh air vent. The passenger side of the dash has a round hole that is plugged off. Should there be a fresh air vent on the passenger side?
