    Pertonix Ignitor I Question

    My wife bought me a Pertronix distributor with the Ignitor I installed and a Flamethrower coil for Christmas. Now that the NY winter is almost over I want to install it. 1967 Mustang, 289, 2v. Some questions: 1) They sold her the Flamethrower II coil. I think that's wrong and not a match...

    Headlight Switch Knob - Stem

    Last week after a car show and afterparty I started the car to drive home and when I pulled the headlight switch knob out, the whole stem came out of the switch. The lights did not come on. I could reach up and push the release button but nothing I did would get the stem to catch. I had to...

    Upper Control Arm Lube

    I have aftermarket, OEM-Style upper control arms with the 90 degree grease fittings. I've tried to grease them but they won't accept grease. Do I need to loosen the large nuts on the ends of the arms? Is there a trick I'm overlooking? They have been installed for two summer driving...

    Window Regulator Binding

    Last week my passenger window regulator started getting hung up as I (wife) was rolling it up. I was able to work it up and down to get it into the up position. Last night I removed the handles, arm rest, and inner door panel and it rolled up and down fine. When I put everything back together...

    Adjust Fuel Sending Unit?

    I've searched the forums and did the preliminary troubleshooting. My fuel gauge only goes to between 1/2 - 3/4 when the tank is full. The gauge moves toward E as I drive but I never know how much gas is left in the tank and it makes me nervous. The tank and sending unit are new. The gauge...

    '67 Driveshaft C-4 Question

    Does the welded (solid) end go toward the front or back? The front yoke and u-joints were removed years ago and I can't remember which end is front or rear. It's the two-piece variety- one end welded solid, the other end is "open". Thank you in advance for clarification.

    Gas in Intake

    When I removed my carb (2100 2V), the recess on the left side of the intake was full of gas. It doesn't go anywhere as far as I can tell but I don't think it should have been full of gas. I just fired this engine for the first time a few weeks ago. I rebuilt the carb about a year and a half...

    Cam Lube/Valve Adj

    Last Saturday I began my engine assembly. Stock 289 rebuild. I'm using a Comp Cams flat tappet (bought it in 1995). The lube packet that came with it was a red, viscus liquid, instead of a grease consistancy that I remember from many years ago. I'm nervous that this lube has already fallen...

    '67 Reassembly Questions

    I'm making good progress but after being apart for 12 years I have some questions: How far down from the top of the fender apron should the starter relay be? The replacement panel I welded in didn't have the holes pre-drilled. What is the sqare, 4-wire plug coming out of the top of the...

    '67 Fastback Reassembly

    I have my car back from paint and have been reassembling. I'll attempt to attach a few pics. Hopefully they'll make it. I'm not that tech-savvy. Color is Silver Frost; it was a Special Order car (paint color). Came with Exterior Decour Group, foldown rear seat, PS 289C, C4, console. I...

    Vent Window Weatherstripping

    I've searched/read the archives before posting...I just changed out one side of my '67. It is different from the '65-'66 in that on piece surrounds all 3 sides of the glass. Question: should I have used a sealer in the channel before installing the new seal? Also, the job was much easier...

    Rear Differential Washers

    I will soon be installing the differential back into the housing. It's a '67 8" rear. There were copper washers under the nuts on the 5 lower studs. They are pretty beat. Where, besides Ford can I find these copper washers? I've been to a couple of auto parts stores, hardware stores, and...

    Rear Drum Brake Springs

    Please help...I replaced all springs, adjusters, shoes, wheel cyls on my '67. As I removed the old componants, I kept them as intact as possible so re-installation would be easy. Everything went together well but afterward, I notice that the larger (green) spring is on the front shoe on the...

    289 Heads: Rail vs Pushrod Guided Rockers

    I am going to be reassembling the 289 I disassembled over 10 years ago. I threw out the old rockers back then as I didn't intend to use them. Now I don't know remember style they were. I think 1966 1/2 was around the time the change was made to rail-type rockers. My car is a '67, built on...

    Fenders

    I'm sure this has been discussed many times, and the consensus is always to find original or NOS fenders, but has anyone out there had any luck with repro fenders? If so, which vendor did you use? I bought one about 4 years ago and with the car now being prepped for paint, we discovered it...
