    Anyone got a Mustangs to fear headliner for coupes?

    Interested in seeing some installs, preferably not done by the vendor themselves. I like the idea of the removable headliner, dont particularly like the price but might be willing to pay it if it all looks worthwhile.

    Low mount / stealth a/c installs

    I'm planning to install a/c in my 68. It originally had a/c but at some point a PO ditched everything from the firewall forward, so I only have whats in the cabin left. I am wanting to install the compressor (and ideally condensor etc) in such a way as not to clutter up the engine bay like...

    Stiff steering after warming up with new control valve assmebly

    I replaced my old control valve assembly a while ago as it was worn out and creating all sorts of issues. The new valve has remedied all of those issues and been working quite nicely except for one thing. When the motor/ps/etc has warmed up completely, the steering gets really stiff at low...

    Slight engine run-on

    I noticed today after going for a bit of a drive in warm weather that when I shut down the motor turned and spluttered a but after I turned off the key. It didnt sound too happy about shutting down. Anyone know what might be causing that? Too hot plugs? Carbon? Setup is a 302w edelbrock carb...

    tremec tko600 or driveline problems

    I have a bit of a nasty clunk in the drive train that appears when I let off the throttle quickly or apply it after coasting. It seems like its related to loading or unloading the drive train. I have: - New TKO 600 - New drive shaft + uni joints - Replaced the whole diff chunk after...

    Weird wear patterns on roller rockers

    I just popped my rocker covers to try and chase down what I thought might be slightly loose rockers. I had a little play around and it seems like none of them are overly loose. While I was doing that I noticed that I had some unexpected wear patterns in my proform roller rockers. It seems like...

    Clunks in the drivetrain after manual conversion

    A bit of history - my c4 setup always used to clunk when going from reverse to drive when the drivetrain loaded up. My diff was slowly developing a slight whine on the hwy too. Now I have converted to a manual (tko600) with a new driveshaft, unis, etc, and I am getting a lot of clunks when I...

    King Cobra clutch feels quite heavy

    Im in the middle of a tko upgrade and am just testing out the hydraulic clutch setup. Because of the booster and lack of space I have lots a little mechanical advantage at the pedal. I am running a 15/16 tilton 75 series m/c and 3/4 slave cylinder. I find (so far) that the pedal effort is quite...

    Timing on TFS Twisted Wedge (or other new alloy) Heads

    I have been tuning my new 5.0 roller motor for a while and am wondering how much timing I should use on Twisted wedge heads. I know the old iron heads like as much timing as you can give them before pinging. Are the new aluminium heads the same? I read in a few places that the improved...

    Still! c4 shifting problems - need to fix it in 36hrs!

    So far I have been having no luck working out why my c4 wont shift at wide open throttle. It revs all the way out to 6700 rpm and still will not shift! I have tried playing with the kickdown, and fiddling (rotating 2 times ccw) with the vacuum modulator with very little in the way of results...

    c4 not shifting up at WOT?

    Since I rebuilt the engine and gearbox (new seals mainly) I have noticed that the behavior of the c4 has changed. Initially at WOT it shifted at around 3800-4000 rpms which irritated me because it was too low. Over the first few hundred miles the behavior of the box has changed (slowly moving up...
