They are all 17"x8" and the tires are; rear: 255/40/17 - front: 235/45/17. They dont seem to rub on the rear driver side though. They do come close to...

    Floors - Rust Encapsulator

    Hey I just thought I would take some pictures of the work I have been doing on my 65 and show them here. I bought some of Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator and pulled everything out of the interior to inspect for rust and protect the floor from further rusting. I actually didn't have to much rust...

    Interior Project

    I just took apart my interior to check my floors and cover them with rust encapsulator. I want to cover all the unseen parts with it so I dont have to worry about rust in the future. I have used rust encapsulator for my trunk and liked the results. I had sandblasted the whole thing to bare...

    Idle Idle Idle

    I am having an idle with my car. I have figured out now that after WOT the car will idle at 2000 rpm. When I shut the car down and restart it goes back to 800-900 rpm. While driving normal it sometimes will start idleing at 1000-1300 rpm though. But mostly after a drive without hitting WOT it...

    Engine Rebuildable?

    My stangs old engine was the original 289. I have since replaced it with another 289 from a 66. However I still have the old block and heads on an engine stand just sitting. The engine had lost oil pressure and I had not known as I did not have a gauge at that time and it obviously seized. My...

    Vacuum Leak?

    I have been having a problem with my idle speed for a while now. Everyhting I have tried has not helped. And with my limited knowledge of carburetors I am at a loss. I have pretty much figured that it is a vacuum leak, I have tried the carb cleaner trick but really am not quite sure still. I...

    Idle Speed Fluctuates

    I have a Speed Demon 575 on my 65 and have been trying to get it running correctly for a while. Right now my engine idle speed will either be really low and will die or it will go up to 1500-2000 rpms. I think it is my PCV valve though as this is something I had changed recently. I am also...

    Installed Aluminum Radiator

    I put in my aluminum radiator from Crites Restoration today along with a new water pump, fan and shroud in an effort to solve my overheating problem. I do not believe it solved it however I have not done much problem solving. It seems to just slowly rise in temperature until it overheats. I have...

    Two questions. . .

    Ok first I swapped my old siezed 65 289 out with a rebuilt 66 289. The engine I got seems to have a 70's style water pump as the bottom inlet is on the drivers side. I seem to be having radiator/fan fitment problems and was wondering if the 70's one has a longer shaft on the front which would...

    New Radiator Died

    Well I installed a new Griffin aluminum custom fit radiator which cost me $350 to fix my overheating problem. I had it all in and it fit nicely with the bolt holes however the fan looked a little close. Turns out it was after i turned it over. The fan connected onto the radiator and bent a ton...

    Engine Knocks At Idle

    I am having a problem with my 65 289 mustang. I just re-adjusted my timing and now the timing marks are lined up perfectly and engine starts right up but now the engine knocks. It sounds like its coming from the drivers side valve cover. It did not do this at all before. Is this a timing related...
