    Bellhousing Identification

    I have a bellhousing that I pulled out of my 66. I had to replace it with an 80s bellhousing to go with the 80s 302 and T-5 setup that the PO had put in (and half-assed). Looking at the bellhousing I removed (and don't need any more), the casting number is D1TA-638A-AA. I tried to find out...

    66 convertible weatherstripping trim piece

    Hi all, I'm working on putting a new convertible top on and I'm missing a metal piece the screws in under the front bow. Looking at other verts, it looks like this piece is used to keep the weatherstripping in place. I found the diagram below and the the part number appears to be 51358 (on the...

    302 idle and vacuum concerns

    This is an 82 302 with a T5 tranny in a 66 convertible. The idle is quite rough to the point where I cant get it below 650 rpm without taking a chance on the engine stalling. Even with the idle speed adjusted at 700, when I start the engine warm after it has been sitting for a few minutes...

    5.0 water pump, alternator, belts and running hot

    I have a 66 convertible with a 5.0 taken from an 82. After doing various other things to correct the sloppy work the previous owner did, it's now a driver.

I have replaced a hose 3...

    66 flywhel

    Hello everyone. I have a 66 convertible with a 1983 5.0 and a 5 speed T5 (Asked about that in a previous thread and decided to keep the tranny I have for now.) The original problem was that it didn't have the right engine plate between the engine and bellhousing (it had an automatic...

    t-5 transmission concern

    I'm having so much fun with the work I have been doing on my 66 mustang convertible: After I had bought the car I realized that there were plenty of things that the guy before me had half-assed and it seems like every job I've done with it so far has cost me twice as much as I planned on...
