    Any Words Of Wisdom From Mustangs You've Sold?

    Bought the car 100% stock back in high school (been over a decade!). Wife and I moved to San Francisco three years ago, with only one parking space. Mustang has been in storage since then. So as hard as it is, figure it is finally time to let her go. Not in any particular hurry to sell her...

    Over Tightened Drum Breaks

    Was adjusting rear drums today. Put the drum on and started to tighten the star from the under side. Got it way too tight and now can't loosen it. Any ideas? Seems like that adjustable wheel/rod piece will not move. Piece of cake to tighten and loosen it on the other side, but seems to be...

    Weird Fuel Problem

    Or at least I think it is fuel. Mustang is having problems starting now. Has been slowly stumping me for a couple weeks now. When things are running right: turn key to on position, hear the fuel pump (walbro 255 in tank and vortech t-rex external) for a couple seconds. fuel pressure builds up...

    What would cause this overheating?

    This is on my daily car, not the mustang, but should work the same in theory. Temperature guage is saying car is overheating, but the radiator and upper radiator hose are still ice cold. The radiator and overflow tank are full.

    emergency brake adjustment?

    This probably should have been adressed about 8 years ago. The hand brake has never held perfectly, but has continued to get weaker and weaker. It is at the point now where I have to park the car in gear pretty much everywhere. Never really understood (or tried to) how these work, but seems like...

    How do you feel about your harness-style seat belts?

    Last time I needed to replace my seatbelts I got them from the Ford dealership for a rediculous price and they worked how they should for about a year. Now the stockers are worthless and I have corbeau seats. My impression of harness style seat belts has always been that they are kinda...

    CA Smog Help - EGR

    Man, I haven't smogged the mustang in about 4 years cuz its been down. So they have this new smog rule where you have to print out the EO PDF files (from CA's website) for every aftermarket product on your car that could effect emmissions. It was a bunch of fun trying to get around adding a MAF...

    Clutch Cable Q

    Brand new motor... drove the car for less than 2 miles before my clutch cable snapped at the end underneath the car. I figured it was because I had never replaced it and some threads on the cable were messed up already. Went and got a "stock" replacement. Drove 1.2 miles and that one turned into...

    Looking for A/C Wire

    Does anyone with factory A/C have a picture of the electrical connector that goes into the compressor? I think its a 2-plug connector with 1 black/yellow hot wire that ultimately comes from the interior A/C knobs and 1 black ground wire. It should be coming out of the main wiring harness. I am...

    Vacuum line to this?

    Got the whole motor back together and missing one vacuum connection. Did some searching and found some really good vacuum diagrams. Only problem is... I don't know what this unit is called. Anyone know what, if anything, hooks up to this right next to the electrical connection?

    Memory has failed

    Putting back together the lower intake. I remember everything except one hole that is just a mystery. The black water/coolant tube that goes from the water pump to the heater, and back into the front of the lower intake... there is a bracket near the back of it that goes down onto the intake...

    Fuel After Storage

    Crank broke in half, car sat for a month, put stabilizer in the tank, sat for another year+. Getting close to done with the new build. Wondering what I should do, if anything, about the fuel. There was at least 1/2 tank full when the crank snapped. Didn't get a chance to run it with the stabilizer.

    Two pictures at the bottom of this page: PRI - SPITFIRE & GT6 MAGAZINE Article page 65 Vol 2 Issue 1 Started pulling apart the motor and found the Pro-M 80mm MAF like this. the top cover piece was just kind of sitting on there. Are those shavings supposed to be there? Or do you think the MAF...

    Custom Cam

    Dart 347, Trick Flow top end kit, Vortech S-trim Seems like a custom cam is the general recommendation for this setup. But where do you go for a custom cam? Do they just grind a cam based on all the details you give them? Any suggestions?
