    Mustang dies when lights are turned on

    Hello all 66 Mustang, 5.0 EFI/AOD. I recently installed a 100 amp one wire alternator in the car since the stock 90s alt I had on it would not be enough to run the electric fan I put on the car. Car starts fine, blip the throttle to get the alt 'turned on,' battery voltage climbing; all is...

    Throttle valve cable

    Anyone know where I can get a thottle valve cable? Not a throttle cable, a 'TV cable,' the cable that connects the throttle plate to the lever on an AOD that downshifts the transmission when you mash the gas pedal. EVERY source I know of tells me it is no longer available. I'll resort to used...

    Wheels/tires

    I'm going to put Cragar SS wheels on my 66. (wanted them for years!). I'm not sure of the bolt hole pattern, i.e., measurement between holes. "Bolt Circle" is what some sites call it. 4.75 inches? 5 inches? Thanks. Also, what size tires do y'all have/brand? I want to go wider than stock...

    AOD linkage into 66 Mustang

    If anyone else out there is using an AOD transmission, would anyone mind posting a picture of the AOD shifter linkage, where the shift 'selector' goes into the side of the AOD? I'm putting an AOD into a 66 Mustang, and I have it pointed 'up' and I think it needs to be pointed down. Also, the...

    AOD linkage photo (please?)

    Would anyone mind posting a picture of the AOD shifter linkage, where the shift 'selector' goes into the side of the AOD? I'm putting an AOD into a 66 Mustang, and I have it pointed 'up' and I think it needs to be pointed down. Also, the roll pin that holds the 'shifter' in the AOD body got...

    AOD linkage photo/diagram anyone?

    Would anyone mind posting a picture or diagram of the ~93 AOD shifter linkage? I want to make sure I have the shift 'selector' that sticks out of the body pointing in the right direction. I have it pointing 'up', but I'm not sure that is right. I'm putting a 5.0/AOD into a 66 coupe, if that...

    Electrical interlock

    93 EFI engine into 66. Thought it was a spark problem, but I got that fixed. Now it is fuel. Fuel pump runs and I have fuel pressure at rail. For some reason, apparently the computer is not telling the injectors to spray. Is there some interlock between engine compontents/relays that I am...

    Bad ground?

    Hello all. 5.0 EFI into 66. I believe I have steady spark. Plenty of fuel pressure at fuel rail. Crank crank crank, no start. I got a backfire when I sprayed starting fluid into intake and cranked it. I suspect the injectors aren't getting signal to fire. I know they have power when key...

    No spark..what should I check now?

    I have my engine ready to run, but I have no spark. It is a 5.0 into a 66 coupe. I suspect that the TFI module may be bad, but every test I know to run on it says it is fine. I had intermittent spark, then I only had one spark, now no spark. Of the six wires on the TFI connector, one is...

    5.0 almost running..few questions though

    Finally got the fuel pump to run. I used a 1990's starter solenoid on my 66. When I attempted to start the car for the first time, the starter wouldn't stop turning...had to remove the (+) battery cable to stop the engine from turning over. Looked around this morning, I find that the starter...

    What type tranny fluid?

    Hello everybody. Putting a 5.0 in a 66 coupe. AOD trans came from a 1990 Merc Grand Marquis. Getting ready to crank it up for the first time. Went to my local parts place to find out what type trans fluid to use. He said it was either Mercon III or Mercon 5, I'd have to ask my local Ford...

    pre-oiling?

    Hello all. Getting ready to start my 8 year project in a few days. This motor hasn't turned over in about 18 months. How can I pre-oil it? Is it possible to remove the distributor and some how do it that way? Or won't that make the oil pump shaft fall out of the way and I won't be able to...

    EFI intake hose interference

    I searched the forums but didn't find a answer that really helped, so I'll throw this out there. For those of you that put EFI in your Mustang, what did you use for an intake tube? I suspect that I may have to delete the EGR, though I have seen pictures (MustangsPlus website) that still have...

    Removal of ignition switch

    I'm getting ready to get my 66 back on the road after 8 years off. Problem...can't find the key. Buying a new key/switch is easy enough, but how can I get the old switch out with no key? Thanks in advance. Gary in GA

    What do y'all do for insurance?

    It's been 7 years, and my 66 EFI coupe is almost roadready. Liability is cheap. I'd like more coverage. What companies do any of you out there recommend?

    5.0 throttle cable in 66

    Hello all. I'm putting a 5.0/AOD (hopefully tomorrow) in my 66. I installed the throttle cable (for a 89-93 Mustang). It installed fine (engine still out of car). Bolted it to the bracket on throttle body. It works fine, but it appears like the throttle only opens about 1/2 of 'full open'...
