    Idle/too rich after T5 swap

    Sorry if I sound kinda moronic here. I usually stick to the MII section, but I'm having a problem with my daily beater... Last week I blew the front seal out of the (weak-assed POS) A4LD in my 89 2.3 ragtop, and I had access to a 1990 2.3/T5 setup. Swapped in the complete engine and...

    Is there a tech area that lists specs?

    I know this isn't directly II related, but a buddy of mine was asking me about the spline count on the disc 8.8 in a 95 GT he picked up. I figured it shouldn't be hard to find out, but I can't find any tech pages that would be helpfull. Heck, I can't find ANY info like that here anywhere...

    So, who's working on what these days?

    Howdy again, strangers (or is that "stangers"?) Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Lots going on, though. I had a blowout with my boss back in September, so I've been helping a fellow II owner achieve his dream of owning a whole stable of custom II's. Currently in the shop and...

    Loss of a fellow II fanatic

    Moderators, PLEASE do not move. This is specific to the Mustang II guys... I'm sure many of us know about this, but for those who don't frequent the other II forums, New Years eve we lost someone who has had a HUGE influence in the Mustang II world. After a long stretch of rough times...

    What I've been up to lately...

    So, those of you active on that "other forum" already know, but for those who don't, I thought you might like to see what a few of us have been creating... Ever seen a Mustang II T-top coupe? :jaw: Mustang II Network Forums - T-Top Coupe

    Door glass revisited...

    I know its come up in the past, "Is there a difference between the door glass of a coupe vrs the door glass of a hatchback II?" The answer is "Yes" (the factory-tinted glass is from a hatchback. The clear glass is from a coupe) If you are unsure of what you are looking at, look from the...

    T-top clips

    Anyone know anything about the clips that secure the small bolts which hold the plate where the T-top pins sit? (that's a mouthful, ain't it?) These are located at the outside corners, and the plates are the small chrome ones at the top of the body corners. One of my plates came free, and...

    Air shocks on a 74?

    I just got my "new" 74 V6/4-speed coupe dropped off yesterday, and started giving it a look-see today. I opened the trunk and saw a schrader valve mounted in the middle of the trunk pan, so I took a look underneath...Sure enough, this little bugger has air shocks! I'm thinking these are an...

    gas tank Q

    So, what is a driver-quality used Mustang II gastank worth? I have a spare one, and the guy I just bought my King Cobra from needs one. He's willing to put the value of the tank towards what I still owe on the car, but I can't find any tanks on Ebay to help us figure out what its worth...

    Bought ANOTHER one!

    I just put a down payment on yet another II (bringing the current herd up to FIVE!) And this one's a T-top KING:D :D Its not all original by a long shot, but it DOES appear to be a "real" T-top KC. Currently black on black, no decals, and the trim all looks (badly) brush painted. It...

    V6 ring gear?

    I need to know the toothcount for a Mustang II V6 ring gear (for a manual, but auto will be the same) And if anyone happens to have one apart, I'd also like to know how far the ring gear is spaced out from the back of the crank. I'm getting set to put my 2.8 HO and a RAD 4 into the 78...

    Parts-swap

    I'm looking for a few oddball bits: Light woodgrain deluxe door panel inserts (yeah, a real longshot) Brushed aluminum pass. side dash bezel (no A/c, with or without clock cutout) Interior B-pillar trim for a T-top (prefer black, but not picky) 4-speed bellhousing for a V6 or V8 THREE...

    My 77 Cobra II thread.

    I just realized I haven't actually started a thread about the "new" Cobra II, so it may take a few posts to catch up. Barely started, but things are already progressing VERY well, especially considering that there have been a few setbacks. Here's what started my current project (and has...

    Looking for a II in S/W BC Canada

    Yep, I know its a bit of a long shot, but... I'm looking for a II in the Vancouver area. Optimally, I want a V8/4-speed fastback that I can drive home, but as long as its not a 4-banger or a basket case I'll give it a chance. Even a coupe or Ghia would be okay (I have this itch to...

    .net not working?

    I know it isn't related to this site, but I'm not sure where else to ask (I know there's cross-traffic).... I had my computer crash a while back and lost EVERYTHING from my hard drive. I've tried to retrieve/reset my password at .net twice now, and after over a week I'm STILL waiting for a...

    Possible tranny/clutch option?

    I've been running a few ideas through my warped mind, and could use some thoughts on this one.... I'm dropping a 2.8 into my 78 T-top, and since I can't seem to find the parts to set up the clutch linkages, can anyone think of a reason I couldn't just get the II pedal assembly, cut a hole in...

    engine mounts V8 vrs V6

    This may seem like a backwards swap, but its what I'm doing... I have a 78 T-top that was originally a 302/C4 and I' going to drop a 2.8/Rad into it. I have the frame mounts from the 302 still in it, and I need to know if they are the same (or will work for) my 2.8 swap. I think I have a...
