    Help with mini starter please

    Hi Gang, Had a problem starting the car yesterday. It has started flawlessly for six months, no problems. Started great yesterday morning and drove her to a meeting. After a four hour meeting, came out to leave and when I turned the switch, "clunk." Hmmm. Popper out the voltmeter and had...

    Gen II Lightning - Driver's Side-Exit Exhaust Kit?

    Hello, I picked up my new '04 Lightning last night. I have been salivating over this truck for months and finally got everything in line to get her. In addition to the standard chip, pulley, filter upgrades, I'd really like to add the side-exit exhaust to the driver's side, so that it...

    65/66 vs 67/68 Radiator Support

    So, if I have a 65 that needs a new radiator support, but I want to put in a 24" radiator, do I: A. Put in a 65/66 support and cut it out for the larger radiator? B. Put in a 67/68 support? If I go with B, is the 67/68 support a direct fit, or will mucho fabrication be in order...

    High temp duct tape?

    Hi guys, Wasn't sure if this was technically "tech" or not, so I decided to post here. Seems I have finally got my engine temps under control. Moved from electric fan to flex-fan with a shroud. The one issue I have is the shroud is not an exact fit (Griffin aluminum radiator) and there...

    So, in theory, how hot should my engine run (safely)?

    Here are all my specs. I am fighting the warming temps out here in muggy, humid North Carolina. In order to make sure I've won the battle, I need to know what's the hottest my car should get when sitting in traffic or at low speed crawls. At highway speeds its no problem, I can keep her...

    Rear Differential Vent Tube

    Quick question guys... Shouldn't you be able to blow through the rear diff vent tube valve? Mine is blocked completely off. I'm getting some leaking from another bolt of the differential tube and I'm thinking it because it can't release any pressure due to that valve being...

    Gasp! Water in floorboards.

    So, I do the old pitcher of water in the cowl test. No drips on driver's side, gushing like a river on the passenger side. Hmmm, not good. But I looked up under the passenger side (heater box is gone and a new Classic Auto Air system is in) and I can see the bottom of the cowl and it look...

    Favor from '67/'68 owners?

    Would someone with a '67 or '68 be so kind as to snap a photo for me of where the parking brake cable comes through the firewall and where the opening is in relation to the two bolts that hold the parking brake assembly to the firewall? I have been able to find those two holes (for the bolts)...

    Wiring weirdness - Your thoughts please

    Okay, so I order a new tail lamp harness and turn signal harness for my '68 because of some flaky problems with my wiring and I figured now was as good a time as any to freshen up the 35 year old wire. I pull the turn signal switch, cut the old wires and get ready to poke the leads from my...

    Power Steering Question

    Hey guys, Will a new 5.0 style power steering pump produce too much pressure for a stock (but new) '68 power steering line? Should there be a pressure-relief valve anywhere on the system, or is there even such an animal? One of my hoses blew apart at the coupling the other night and I'm...

    *for this week. Maybe. :D Anyway, rather than replace my underdash in my '68 FB right now, I bought a Painless auxillary fuse box with 3 constant hot/4 ignition hot circuits. I will be running non-stock items from it, like radio and gauges. Here's a link... Two questions: 1. Does...

    Underdash Wiring Options for '68

    Hello, I have a '68 fastback that I would like to re-do the underdash harness in due to age, splicing, reliability, etc. I would prefer to use a reproduction harness instead of one of the Painless/EZ harnesses simply because I don't want to have to deal with the headaches of mystery wires...

    Wiring: Where to buy "push-on" style wire leads

    I am looking for an online retailer that sells the "push-on" style wire leads. They are the 90* type as used on the gauge posts on a 65/66 (maybe other years too) instrument cluster. They would need to have a short length of wire pre-made in so I could solder my run onto it. Anybody know of...
