    Random dying and backfire in 66 289

    Hi all-- Background: The GT has been randomly turning itself off. No coughing or sputtering--it just dies as if you turned off the key. Replaced the coil with a new flamethrower and checked the ignition switch (replaced a year ago with a new motorcraft switch) and all seems well. Took it...

    66 Shuts off while driving

    Hello all-- The GT did something interesting today--twice--while headed into town. I was driving along and it just shut off, once at about 15 mph and once at about 35 mph. No coughing/sputtering. Just like you had turned the key off. I coasted for a minute, shifted into N and it...

    Damn Oil Pressure

    Hi there-- I've been having problems with the GT using oil. I know I have one, possibly two bad rings. Ok, the latest is that at a constant speed, the oil pressure will drop from 3/4 across the gauge where it usually rides to between 1/4 and 1/3 across the gauge. Just changed the oil...

    Missing and Surging

    Hi all---Probably in response to the thread where I was singing the praises of the Mustang as a daily driver, my GT started to give me problems today on the way home. It drove fine to work, but on the way home, it was surging and missing as you tried to accelerate. Push the pedal down and a...

    Squeaky, noisy front end

    Hey all-- Just noticed that when I have some noise in the front end of my GT. I get a loud squeaking when I go over speed bump, for instance. It is quiet when I drive on level pavement. What would cause this from the front end? Maybe I should just get a louder stereo? :D --Paul

    Power Steering Control Valve Rebuild?

    Hey all-- Have a new seep in the ol PS system. This is a constant seep--car on or off--that comes from around the control valve--specifically the ball stud metal cover. Having consulted the handy Mustang Monthly database, I found an article on the process. Yikes. Anyone done this...

    65/66 New Seat Covers, with Headrests, at VA Mustang?

    Anyone see the new 65/66 seat covers, with head rests, in VA Mustang's sale flyer? (no link that I can find) They look to have more support than the normal ones and offer a head rest. Anyone have these? Opinions? --P

    Teflon Tape on MC Fittings?

    Hi all-- Got the MC swapped out for a two chamber. Had to get some reducers--Thanks O'Reilly Autoparts!--and now I have a tiny seep on from one of the reducers. Should I use teflon tape on the threads? I seem to remember that fuel lines and teflon tape don't mix, but what about brake...

    Just back from the Paint Booth

    This will be my son's Christmas present. I figure that Adam can wreck his mustang before he wrecks mine. He has a better shine on his car than I do on mine! A former student of mine is a painter and does streetrods and such. He did a hell of a job on this one! Still has some minor...

    Part Number

    Hey all-- I'm chasing a locking glove box latch for my 66 Mustang. Anyone know the part number? The number I have starts C4D. . . which would be for the 64 model year, not the 66. Thanks! --Paul

    66 Single to Dual MC Plumbing Question

    Hi all-- I've been doing some reading on the (suicide) single to double Master Cylinder setup. I have a few questions before I attempt this. I have a double MC already that should drop right in. :rolleyes: I have one line that comes to a T and splits--I assume this is the front discs. I...

    What IS that thing?

    Hi all-- Greasing the 'stang this AM and when I slid to the back to do the U-Joints, I saw a rubber tube coming off of the driver's side of my back axel, about half-way down the axel. The tube was rotten through, so I cut off the bad part and slid some good hose over the fitting and clamped...

    Bonding Plastic?

    Hi all--I have a piece of my console that I need to put back---part of the "rim" that holds the ashtray. What can I use to put this chunk back? It is hidden, so pretty ain't necessary, but it does need to be sturdy.

    GOOD NEWS! Well, how about not as bad news?

    Hi all-- For those of you who have been following the continuing saga of oil loss in the 66, I found something interesting today. RECAP: Oil loss at highway speeds. Possible bad ring. So-So compression, but nothing too bad. Anyway, I was under the car replacing my oil pressure...

    MCA Judging Sheet for Conc. Trailered?

    I have a friend who is putting back together his 64.5 vert and will show in Concourse Trailered. Anyone know where I can get an example of a judging sheet to show him? I have mine, but they are Daily Driven and not as detailed as the Conc. trailered. I loaned him my copy of the MCA rules, but...
