    66 GT Steering Stops

    Thanks for posting the pictures! The stops I have don't look anything like yours, I wonder if there is a difference between 6 cyl. and V8 stops? I believe my car had power steering, A/C, and Automatic from the factory at one time. If anyone has different stops on their V8 car please chime...

    66 GT Steering Stops

    I have a 66 GT (Disc Brakes) that I am putting back together. The steering stops were missing so I purchased some used ones, but I can't get them positioned correctly. Does anyone have a breakdown (exploded view) of the lower control arms on the 65-66's with the seperate stop shown clearly, or...

    GOvert Project: Front brakes

    Thanks for sharing. Please post some pictures when you are done. The power rack from the Mustang is a good one as long as it isn't too wide for your application. Please continue to share your progress. Thanks again. mannyjoe

    New Engine - FR, Keith Craft or Smedding?

    I used Coast High Performance for my 342 stroker. This was a new brand block and forged pistons etc. very cost effective for me. I would use them again in a heartbeat. HTH. mannyjoe

    FRPP Thermostat housing and bypass hose leak

    Same here. I had to remove the chrome plating to make a good seal. If you do it right, the hose covers up where you remove the plating. HTH. mannyjoe

    Idler Arm Bushing

    I used a long 1/2" threaded rod and a few appropiate sized sockets to remove and replace the bushing after the 2 piece Idler arm was removed from the car. A stop nut or vice grips can keep the threaded rod from spinning, an extra large socket on the bottom to catch the old bushing. A deep...

    C4 to AOD in a 66 Mustang

    Thanks for the responses. Apperently(sp?) swap was the key word. I'm a little more of a do-it-yourselfer and am looking for plans or dimensions for the new cross member as I have a small (110v.)MIG and some scrap steel. The transmission came with dipstick,Convertor,shift cable and block...

    My friend's project car maybe screwed

    I've seen similar damage/repair when someone runs air shocks instead of replacing the rear springs. Then you have the problem of rust on top of that. mannyjoe

    C4 to AOD in a 66 Mustang

    I am having a very difficult time using the search engine on this forum to find information about this swap. I tried 'C4 to AOD' and 'aod' and 'c4' and all the searches came back with 'sorry nothing found'. I must be doing something wrong. O.K. I have a 66 GT Coupe shell, A code...

    Best Holley carb for 347 stroker combo?

    I ran a 650 Barry Grant Demon (Vac.Sec.) on my 342 (Std.Bore) and it worked great. However, if your cam is too radical you might consider a 650 Double Pumper. mannyjoe

    67 289 AC belt/pulley dilemna. :shrug:

    My 66' 289 WP pulley has 3 grooves (1 small,2 large) also a california smog motor (I believe) so they are definately out there. You might try Laurel Mtn., or Dallas Mustang. HTH. mannyjoe

    Ferrari parking brake lever

    I've seen quite a few used on Kit cars. You can find them at the local Pik-A-Part style junk(recycler) yards or purchase them new from some of the Fiero Restoration web sites. HTH. mannyjoe
