    17 By 8 Wheels, Exactly How Wide Are They?

    I been driving this car for 10 years like this, and it doesn`t rub that much. It looks like with the fenders rolled front and back i could run a 225/45/17, this sound anywhere in the realm of doable?

    well that explains some rubbing issues.... They are torque thrust d`s with 4 1/2 backspacing.

    78 Mustang 2 For Sale Good Body Hardly Any Rust

    Here we go, first for $500 I aint washing it, I wont charge extra for the rat poop in the floor, and just for the record, I have $390 in this car, the $250 purchase price, $100 tow bill, and $40 to a guy to get it firing. We pulled the dizzy out to check the timing, and I can`t get it back in...

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    ah...I need you to clarify the difference between ignition timing and firing order please? compression sounds good (just from engine turning over with starter), using starting fluid (because fuel pump is bad), so timing is only thing left i think...correct me if i`m wrong. I had the fuel line...

    171 Cubic Inch V-6 Motor In 78 Mustang 2

    Yea I realized i had kinda a rare car and would rather someone enjoyed it than me mess it up. This car really does need to be driven, I do want some of the parts off of it, but nothing that can`t be replaced easily.

    171 Cubic Inch V-6 Motor In 78 Mustang 2

    We only pulled it to try and correct the timing, it was out for just a few minutes while we hit TDC on number 1. It came out rather easy but I do think it pulled up and fell to one side. i`ll read your link and get back to you tomorrow and let you know how this turns out, thanks for the info.

    78 Mustang 2 For Sale Good Body Hardly Any Rust

    I bought this car as a parts car for my 65 mustang, i`m taking the rack and pinion steering, power steering pump, power brakes, and some other parts off the car. It has the V-6 option, factory air car, auto trans, 3.40 rear axle, the motor seems good although i can`t get it to run (but I am not...

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    I only found one way to time it online, 1-4-2-5-3-6. the car had been sitting for 5 years, and it was obvious that someone had spent alot of time and effort trying to get it running and they were not successful. I also read that alot of these came out with plastic cam gears, and these are metal...

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    This really sucks, I been digging on this car trying to get the little V-6 to run, the thing has no rust, the body is straight, factory AC car, nice gauges with tach and cool looking interior. I almost hate to tear this thing up, I can`t seem to get it running anyway so its sort of making the...

    Mustang 2 Front End Conversion?

    Sorry guys, been rough week at work. I have decided not to tear apart my 65 again, i just don`t have the energy for one, and for 2, the 51 Ford truck could use the mustang 2 suspension (with aftermarket cross member) a lot more than the car. And being as this is my first major attempt at...

    Rbohm, thanks for the info and links on the mustang 2 setups. But on the 4.2, can I go that route with carburetor?

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    I found just the crossmember and necessary parts to install for $300 to $400 online last night, so that will keep me from gutting the mustang 2. I`ll still use the power rack and pinion and stuff, but it`s good to know my granada stuff will fit it, I already have that upgrade. I guess I have a...
