I have a 1965 Mustang that I'm converting to Pony interior with fog lights. The loom I got is for a 1966 because the instrument gauges I got were out of a 1966, not a 1965. Evidently there is some difference in the 1965 GT and 1966 Std gauge package (some onternal resistor or something)...

My 1694.5 - 1973 Mustang Detailing Guide" (K.A. Helm 1985) states: 'Brake Proportioning Valve - Natural Cast iron, union natural'. But when I was sanblasing the valve body I thought I could see where paint was still present aroung the R and M. I was wondering about that, because the valve...

Thanks..haha. But really, that would really be a bummer. Where do theses things most commonly leak? At the lines or on a particular end (the end witht e C-clip or the end with the adjustment bolt? Steve-o

I was thinking about that. Do you think they all had the same splotch of yellow paint? Also, I think the "cast iron" gray paint on the Stangerssite valve is too light. I just sand blasted and applied clear to mine. I'm also going to refinish all the machines areas (with a wire brush) and...

Alrighty now...I dropped the Piston assembly in a bucket of chem-dip and left it overnight. Sure enough, the pistons slid apart in the morning. I did my best to clean them up: Then reassembles the piston assembly, making sure the seals were correctly orientated: Then...

Yeah, I'll drop it in a bucket of Chemdip and leave it overnight. It is supposed to come apart more than it already is. See below: I can't get the "Outer Piston" off of the "Inner Piston". I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this rebuild on their own? Thanks, Steve-o

Hi Thanks. I visited the Stangersite and it shows that valve body can be disassembled. I was wondering if anyone on this site has first-hand experience with rebuilding the proportioning valve. I suppose I could force the big valve off, but I don't want to screw the assembly up. According...

So, I have a 1965 2+2 with factory disc brakes. I'm rebuilding the proportioning valve and I have it all taken apart. But now I'm stuck. Are the internal valves supposed to come apart? Here's what I have: I got the retaining ring off... But I can't get the little piston to slip off...

Thanks, but nope....not the glove compartment insert. This is only about 8 inches long and only has three sides.

OK, so when I disassembled my car, I carefully put this away and thought I would remember how to attach it. But alas, it has been such a long time I don't remember and can't seem to get it to line up with any of the existing holes. I know it protects the under dash wires from the wiper...

Aha...You are right. Now I remember that the engine tag was fastened to that hole. Hmmm....I actually have the engine tag somewhere. Problem is, I also have the rear end tag, the tranny tag, and a few other tags all mixed together. Does anyone have a good pic of an engine tag I can use...

I use Haggerty Insurance. I had a front left wheel on my 1968 California Special try to get rid of it's tread when I was cruising down the highway at 70mph. What a racket that made! It tore up the front left side of the car - fender, bumper, valance, all the bright metal, etc. I left parts...

Someone mentioned the engine ground strap. Does the engine ground strap bolt into the hole on the passenger side? Where does the engine ground wire bolt to the motor? Thanks, Steve-o

So is the brass fitting I have screwed into my intake the correct part that is supposed to go there? It has Ford blue paint on it, and it fits the hole. And it looks similar to the one on the intake pictured above. Thanks, Steve-o

Yes, here is my engine compartment today. I still have to put the master cylinder, distribution block and proportioning valve in and then hook all the brake lines together. Thanks, Steve-o

How much are you asking for the control arms & shocks? How much do you think shipping would be to Texas? Thasnks, Steve-o

Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to double up on the washers. Also, I want to be sure I don't scratch the heads. I could cut plastic "washers" from a milk jug and put them between the washers/bracket and the painted surface of the head. Do you think that would be enough to protect the...

What does a carb plate look like? Does it just bolt to the intake? Do you have a pic? Thanks, Steve-o

Yes, I plan on attaching the tranny (torque converter, flywheel, dustplate, bell housing & tranny) before I drop the motor in. That's a good idea about putting a glove ont he back of the transmission. I plan on draping plenty of blankets & towls over the engine & engine bay. I definitely...

Do you have a better pic? I can't really see behind the carburetor. Thanks, Steve-o
