    tie rod ends

    There was a thread talking about tire widths that can be put on 65-66 cars. Seems to me I remember someone saying the 65-66 steering components aren't as beefy as the 67 and on up parts. My question is, since I need to put new tie rod ends and ball joints on my 65, can I use any 67 parts...

    violent shake when taking off

    I have a 1965 fastback with 289 4v 4speed manual with manual steer. Every once in a while when I turn left (at least that's when I have noticed it recently), when I take off real slow and don't rev the engine up enough my car goes into a violent shake until I push the clutch in again and rev a...

    Buying a car without engine/tranny

    Anybody know what price range a guy might have to pay to get a decent running 289 and automatic transmission. Let's just say I'd be on a tight budget. Just wondering if I should consider buying the car or not. Thanks! P.S. also looking for insight on if someone has done this or not -...

    blue smoke

    Well, flushed the radiator tonight and after the Prestone Flush stuff, I probably flushed it with plain water about 5 times before it ran out looking something like water. Anyway, while I had the car idling it seemed like there was drops of watery stuff spitting out the tailpipes. I figured...

    Fog Lamps on a 65

    I got a set of repro fog lamps, bulbs, and bars. I am trying to figure out how they go. I think I have them together correctly, but is there really just one bolt and nut that hold the fixture to the bars? Seems like that would loosen up awfully quickly and be flopping around in no time...

    master cylinder swap questions

    I have a 65 with drums in all four corners and a single reservor master cylinder. I bought a dual res drum/drum mc off a 67 from a friend (thanks Carlos!). 1. Do I need to change the pushrod? I've seen posts that indicate the length is not the same between these years. 2. I think I...

    Tough to get into reverse recently

    The last couple times I've driven my car the thing is nearly impossible to shift into reverse. It is like someone put a plate in front of the linkage. Then if I muscle it a few times she'll slide in. Then I can shift out of rev and back in (although not very easily). From what I've been...

    water

    Was out tonight to the daughter's tball game in the stang. It got rained out. First time since I've had the car that I've been rained on. Turned a corner pretty fast and my right foot got splashed... Pretty sure it is the cowl. How can a guy inspect that and what can be done to it if it...

    Another Ebay post - this one is a question

    I put in a low-ball bid on a 68 stanger. The auction was cancelled after a couple days. I sent a question to the seller. They emailed back saying they are out of the country and had turned the transaction over to ebay itself to sell the car outright at a fixed price, which includes...

    1965 Starter spins

    I'm starting a new thread because I had asked a question in Pronkie's post (thinking he had fixed his problem) but since his is still ongoing, I didn't want to keep taking away from his troubleshooting. I have an issue where when my car is cold the starter seems to engage just fine, or at...

    New Springs - Now front end sits up too high

    I figure this will lower itself with time as the springs settle, but I've had them on for about 6 months now and still sit up higher than I'd like it to. Are there any kind of clamps a guy can put on the coils to shorten them about an inch or so? Thanks - P

    export brace & rocker moldings

    Just bought an export brace online. Looks like it goes under the shock tower shock mounts. What's there now are the stock braces on my 65 fastback. My question is can you put the export brace right over the top of the existing braces since they bolt on to a bracket that is welded to the...

    Puttin' her away

    Let's hear some tips for winter storage. Is it worth putting up on jack stands to give the springs longer life? Otherwise just add Stabil to the tank and fill it up with gas and park it?

    To sway or not to sway?

    Just put on some new front sway bar end links and bushings and it really improved the handling - best $12 I ever spent!!! My car doesn't have a rear sway bar. I'm wondering will I feel even more handling improvements if I add a rear sway bar? If so, are they easy to add? I'm not going...

    Brake/Clutch Bezel trouble

    I got some new bezels for my brake and clutch pedal pads. I'll be damned if I can get them to go over the pads while they are on the pedals. But if I take the pad off and slip the bezels over and then try to put back on the pedal I can't get them to go over. Anyone have any helpful hints...

    Amp location

    I'm going to be dropping in an amp so my sterio sounds a little better. I'm wondering if people would be willing to post some pix of where they located their sterio equipment on their classic ponies. Thanks!

    How do you get the window regulator out?

    I just want to take a second and say thanks to everyone on stangnet. You have all been extremely helpful :cheers: Both of the windows on my 65 FB roll up and down hard. I'm thinking I'm going to bend some of the arms in there one of these times, since I have to crank so hard. I have a...

    Wacky Tach

    I just put a tach on my car and some funny stuff happens when I am cruising at about 65mpg. The tach measures just over 3 grand and if I hold the throttle steady, the needle will twitch downward and back up to around 3000 again (kind of intermittently). The one thing I have found is that if I...
