    What's it Worth? Old Magazines

    Howdy Everyone, I have probably 400lbs of old car magazines mostly titles about mustangs and I just do not have room for them. I see that people do sell them on Ebay but I am wondering if it's worth the effort. Push is coming to shove now that I have two kids and the space is worth more to me...

    Anyone Remember Mustang Depot?

    Pulled out my old T-Shirt the owner of Mustang Depot gave me. It had to have been back in 2005 when my now wife and I were out there planning our wedding. Was really cool to meet someone whom I had chatted with on the forum a lot. I have a lot of their products still installed on the Stang.

    What's a 67 6 cylinder go for?

    A friend of a friend is wanting to know what their 67 Mustang with a 6 cylinder engine is worth. The mustang hasn't run in 10 years. It was having carb issues and they stopped driving it. I'm sure I can get it running easily but haven't gotten to see the car yet. I think they are going to sell...

    I've a friend who is looking to sell his Black V6 2012 Mustang Club of America Edition and was wondering where we should post it to try and get him a good sale and get his mustang a good home. I used to keep up with all this stuff but haven't in years. My own mustang is a shelf in the garage...

    Electrical 73 Mustang Turn Signal Switch Replacment

    I am finally getting back to work on my 73 mustang. The first thing I decided to repair was the turn signal switch. I thought it would be easy to change it out. Pulled my steering wheel and it's right there 4 screws and it's free. Except, it's got this wiring harness that runs down the column...

    I Need To Get The Stang Back Together

    Howdy everyone hope you are all having a great 2012 so far. I have been neglecting the racer in me quite a bit. I love everything to do with cars (except GM rear distributor design) but I'd been squashing all that since it's pretty expensive to just keep my old 73 mustang running let alone kept...

    Why Can't I stop My 351w From Dieseling (Engine Runon)

    Something I have been trying to fix, but failed is once my engine is warmed up and I turn off the key it keeps running. :eek: I have readjusted my timing, air fuel mixture, swapped distributor, installed a new electronic ignition, and just fooled around with stuff. The dieseling remains...

    Rocker Arms Ratio

    I've got a set of roller rockers on my 351w that are a bit worn with like 80 thousand miles on them. They need to be replaced and I'm thinking about replacing them with a set of 1.7 ratio roller rockers. Do you think I will have clearance issues? Is it worth the gain in lift?

    Convertible Structural Integrity

    My old 73 Mustang has seen a lot of miles since I got her. While watching my mirrors shake, I got to thinking about the condition of my stang's overall chassis. How many miles is my mustang convertible good for? How far can we go on our unibody cars before the integrity of the structure...

    Tremec 3550 Can't Find shift into 1st and 2nd

    I changed my clutch last week and was rewarded with smooth firm, solid shifts into all gears without a hint of driveline vibration. Unfortunately, after a couple 100 miles with the new clutch I'm having a problem getting my transmission to shift into 1st and 2nd. It's like I can't reach...

    Found My Vibration, It Was The Clutch!!

    I installed a new clutch yesterday. I took out the cheap one I bought at Oriley (140) and put in a Ram muscle car clutch. It's supposed to have greater holding power than the old one. I'm happy to say it seems I've finally gotten rid of the vibration in my drivetrain. I only did a preliminary...

    Tremec 3550 TKO Slave Cylinder Bracket

    I got a question about my transmission install that's outlined on my horribly out of date webpage. J.K's Mustang Page They wanted to know how I constructed the bracket that holds the slave cylinder in place on the transmission case. I explained that I just used several pieces of 1 inch 1/4...

    Changed My Crane 3000 Electronic Points Controller

    I've had one of those Crane 3000 electronic points replacement modules on my car for 12 years using it without any issues, or so I thought. I recently replaced my old unit with a new one and discovered that I had to advance my timing so much I'd need to move my distributor. I used a timing...

    Windshield Seal

    I had my windshield replaced back in 03 and recently discover that water was leaking through the windshield because has no seal between the glass and the upper window frame. :eek: I couldn't believe I hadn't realized that was why the car leaks in a rain storm. I thought it was coming through...
