    Run-on; Engine doesn't shut off

    My engine seems to still want to run after I've turned the ignition off. It only does it after the car is warm. I have an MSD ignition system and the system cam with a small diode to put in line with a wire running to the voltage regulator. That didn't help. Does anyone know why it would...

    New Roush engine issues... Please help

    I have a brand new Roush crate engine that has not over 65 miles, granted I’ve had it running more in the shop than on the road. The problem is that I’m seeing smoke out of the exhaust. It appears to be blue/black, but not the really blue smoke you would see if it was oil. I’m thinking its more...

    68 front wheel alignment

    I’m just now finishing up the final touches on a 6 year restoration project. I’ve put all new (stock) suspension and steering parts.

    Roush 427R in a 68 Stang!!!

    I just ordered a Roush 427R which is a Dart 351W block. I’m unsure on which motor mounts to use. I know there are three components to the mounts: engine mounts, insulator, and shock tower mounts. There was no option in 68 for a 351 engine, so when I go to order my 3-component engine mounts, what...

    68-69 Mustang Bucket Seats- The same?

    I've got a pair of 69 standard bucket Mustang seats to put in a 68. I bought the correct grain/pattern for a 68 Shelby. Are the seat "frames" the same for both a 68 and 69? I've seen how the 67's have a more "curved" back than the 69's but I don't know if the 67's are correct either. Please help...

    Restoration of a Wiring Harness

    I'm restoring my 68 stang and all of the wiring is in tack and uncut, but it looks like crap. The white connectors are yellowish and the black wrap is a faded black or a dirty looking dark grey.
