    1966 mustang starter and pulley troubles

    You most likely have a 157 tooth flywheel on that which is going to call for an automatic starter. Doesn't make sense at face value, but I'll wager a crisp dollar that it'll fix your starter problems.

    Under-the-hood Wiring

    I would replace that section of harness, it's been hacked up and quality replacements are easily obtained. Be sure to check the diagram provided in the previous post, and pick up a proper Ford 1966 shop manual - there's a ton of useful information in there.

    65 Coupe I6 Auto to 302 EFI 5 Speed Swap

    You're going to need the weight of the car on the rear + leaf springs before measuring. Be sure to keep in mind a 3/4"-1" allowance for your slip yoke. As stated above, some manufacturers measure from different points, so it's best to get the vendor lined up. My local shop used the center of...

    Rear ends? And I don't mean the pretty kind.

    The OP is looking to adapt to a 4-lug & older 4x4.5 bolt pattern. Throws a wrench into the usual simple fixes. ** I missed the "None of these" option, this could probably work.

    Rear ends? And I don't mean the pretty kind.

    Given the the mostly original + same bolt pattern goal, it's going to require a bit of cutting & aftermarket axles regardless of the donor 8.8 source, unfortunately. Very doable project, just a little more complicated in keeping the original bolt pattern. Any decent machine or driveline shop...

    Rear ends? And I don't mean the pretty kind.

    There's something familiar about that beard.... I transplanted a Fox 8.8 into my 68 a few years back after I kind of broke my 8 inch. Fox body rears are ~59.25" wide if I recall, putting each wheel 1.25" closer to the quarter panel given your dimensions. Not sure if the Falcon even has that much...

    Cork versus Rubber Valve Gaskets

    Ive used this in the past and will never do so again. It is a chore to remove :bang: A dab or two might do okay, but don't get overzealous. I had a friend once who put a solid bead of this stuff around his valve covers, we had to use a crow bar to remove them :doh:

    First generation mustang Daily Driver

    I wouldn't, mine is my only car (if you don't count the wife's Crown Vic) I would advise, however, that you take your time, read until your eyes bleed, begin your search objectively for what you want, and don't be afraid to pass on a few cars until you find one that is right for you *edit* To...

    First generation mustang Daily Driver

    Short of me not paying attention to the gas level (gauge not working) It's never left me stranded. I've driven it 5 days a week for the last 6 years. I did go with electronic ignition, kept my plugs clean, kept my carburetor in check (you'll need to read into these further) I elected to put in a...

    Getting your carburetor in a happy A/F mixture with a proper idle, ensuring ignition is working well (good plugs, wires, points before you get tired of them)

    For reliability - Ditch the points ignition, convert to Pertonix, you'll discover this on your own the more your brush up, but I add this for emphasis. Driving manners - A good set of tires can't be overstated. I personally run Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's @ 215/65/R15 Great all around...

    From the fenders forward is 67, likely the result of a fender-bender from way back when

    duraspark II and 14" edelbrock filter

    Your setup sounds pretty similar to mine, here's how my engine sits in my 68. I'm using a Performer RPM intake if that makes any difference to you
