I looked at the car when I was there again today and noticed that it has the black tri-bar stripe down the rocker panels but the rear bumper cover says Mustang on it, not Mustang GT. I see a 44 in the VIN on the door data label, and I know that the body code 44 in the Fox Body cars is LX...

Well the guy at the wrecking yard said no problem getting a picture of the door data label. I didn't think my cell phone (old) would do a good job so I brought a digital camera. They even have a 1982 5.0 Capri RS that is almost complete too (minus the 5.0 engine and manual tranny). Here...

I was looking through some cars in the wrecking yards this weekend and discovered that my Fox Body power seat track can be found in SN95 Mustangs too, BUT, I came across a Buck Tag on a car that interested me a bit. I own several Limited Edition Fox Body Mustangs. Since I know that the...

Thanks to everyone! I found AFS online and used their "Contact Us" link and e-mailed them before I signed off last night. I had problems signing back on here so I didn't do that last night. AFS sent a response this morning, but I just got it since I signed on for a few minutes tonight...

Ok, that is getting me the information I was looking for. The only place I didn't look for Ford logos is on the surface of the wheels under where the tires are mounted. That would have been my next move as some wheels had markings on the inside surface in the 60s. The castings that show...

I used to know someone that tinted the windshield of his 1969 Corvette (T-Top version). He really thought about how dumb his idea was when he missed a stop sign and went through a pasture fence and into a pasture with his 'vette at a T intersection. It did a lot of damage to the car too. I...

That is what stumped me. I thought the car had a 5-lug conversion when I first started to look at it. Since three of the center caps are missing I looked expecting to see 5 lugs in the center cap openings. Was I shocked to see 4 lugs. When I got the car home (25 mile or so drive, under its...

When I first encountered the same problem I looked at the design of the spindles. It looks like the spindles were engineered with that stopping point as a safety feature either to keep the front coil springs from coming out of the suspension in the event of a ball joint failure or to save lives...

A "remote starter switch" can be used to do this also (to turn the engine to find #1 cylinder compression stroke for correct distributor installation). If you know someone that has an older timing light set some of them came with remote starter switches. The remote starter switch connects...

What about "jumping timing"? How many miles are on the car? I know these cars have steel upper and lower timing gears on them (or one I replaced a timing chain on did). I doubt Ford is using nylon camshaft gears on any of these. Did you check to see that the #1 wire is where the distributor...

The wheels have fairly new tires on them and when I removed one wheel and tire from the car I was able to find all kinds of casting marks on them for DOT, size, width, maximum load and so on, but no Ford markings. I don't have a tire changer so I haven't removed the tires from the wheels yet to...

I have seen wheels like these on later model Mustangs. I bought a parts car that has these wheels on it. They resemble the SN95 wheels right down to the area that the center cap pushes onto. They are FOUR LUG thought and not five lug. The chrome center caps are missing and the one center cap...

The old cars are out there. It's finding them that is the problem.

The car will more than likely use more fuel then it should and you might see more black exhaust smoke because of it, but you should be okay. (edit) Remember the rule of thumb with those codes when you start to repair the car. Fix the first thing that the codes give you as a problem because...

The pee-hole in the water pump is there to let you know when the front bearing goes in the water pump, to the best of my knowledge. When it starts to go the water gets by the bearing and leaks out of the hole. This I have had happen on both steel and aluminum water pumps. Oh yes, another...

It is possible that the water pump that was on the car may have been incorrectly rebuilt or the impeller (thing that circulates the water that looks like a fan blade) may have been bent. The best way to find out if the water pump between the 1978 302 and the EFI water pump are the same is...

Congratulations on the addition to your family!

I was looking around Craigslist's Florida sites and happened across a notation in an ad for Kijiji. I did a search and WOW, there is such a site. Competition for CraigsList. I did some looking around and found their classified sites are all over, like CraigsList. Since I bought and brought...

64.5ragtop I purchased a couple of rebuild kits for the 1966 Mustang I bought for my daughter. The power steering pump and power cylinder were pulled from this car by the former (2nd) owner when one or the other went bad so I was going to reinstall the parts to make the power steering work...

I used this site a lot when I had an Explorer my daughter was driving. I still have 2 Explorers but I am not really doing a lot with them right now. Here is the link... Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts Serious Explorations ...to the Explorer Forum's index. There are a lot of guys and gals...
