I have 3/8 fuel lines going to what should be a 3/8 inlet/outlet fuel pump. It seems like the outlet is 5/16? My 3/8 fitting is way too big, did they make mismatched inlet/ outlet sizes? Or is there a special small fitting to screw your fuel line into?

I'm totally loosing my mind over this. I put on new door handles and the latch rod is inexplicably about 1/2" too long. I can push it up to connect it but then the flapper at the handle is pushed away so the button can't reach it. I took it apart again and used the old hardware that connects to...

I'm going crazy with this. The bottom back of the door is sticking out about 1/4". The upper hinge is out as far as it can go and the lower in as far as it can go. Had it perfect in primer before disassembly for paint Any suggestions? I thought about shimming the hinge out from the car but it...

I upgraded to a dual master in my 65 mustang. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how the new much longer push rod attaches to the pedal arm. Originally there was a piece that went between the two, it's in the picture below but I don't even recall how that worked. Is it possible that with the new setup...

I have 3/8" fuel line and 3/8" sender but the 289 fuel pump only comes with 5/16" inlet. The 66+ fuel pump looks totally different but is it still the same in principle and can be used on the 65 motor? I assume it can but can't find any info on it. I don't think any changes were made to the motor?

I have new scuff plates for my 65, they sit really high. I assume you crush them down when you put the screws in but I have the feeling it will look totally wonky. They do look like the old ones but don't seem to fit the same, at least not yet. Thought I'd ask before I mess them up B

Does anyone know which way the switch for the power top goes in? Naturally they couldn't stamp an "up" on it. There's a red wire on one end and a red on the other. Ideally I would like the top to go up when I move the switch to the up position. If I guess wrong, and I definitely will I can flip...

Trying to wire the classic instruments 5 gauge set for 65/66 mustang. Says to connect to 2 wires on the speedometer calibration button. Anyone know where said button might be? There's 2 knobs inside the speedo but they don't seem to have loose wires and I don't want to put a hook in there and...

I have a 65 with stock power brakes and the Grenada front disc swap. I want to change to a dual master cylinder and would like to get one with a new booster. I can't seem to find anything that is a power to power upgrade, just manual to power upgrade. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I finally found a near perfect original right fender for my 65 Stang at a swap meet. It looks like it's never been hit, I stripped it to bare and no evidence of any collision repair. I put it on and the upper part above the sharp belt line where it meets the door is a good 1/4" flatter than the...

Does anybody have a reasonable measurement for the Shelby side mirrors from the edge of the door, either to the base of the mirror or to the first mounting hole. I would like to drill the holes before I paint and I'm admitedly too lazy to put the vent window assembly in along with mounting the...

There's a bracket for the trans kickdown I assume that bolts to the intake near the back. I now see that my new motor has the holes for this bracket in a straight line not in a 45. I googled intakes and sure enough there's two different types when it comes to this part. Is there any reason for...

I just redid everything in the rear (65 stang, 8" rear, 10" brakes) axle seals, bearings, whl cylinders, shoes, new drums, etc. Well the new drums don't fit, measured the old ones and they're a full 1/8" bigger inside diameter. Now they may be 50 years old and have been turned a bunch, who knows...

I'm putting the front supsension together and in it's current totally unsprung state I can't get the KYB gas adjust shocks in. About an inch too short which I know will change as soon as it's on wheels but it still seemed odd. Is this normal? With the car jacked up the shock will be holding up a...

My 65 Stang had the Grenada disc brake conversion done many years ago, probably 20 years. Due to the different geometry of the Grenada spindles the tie rods are somewhat different, most are the stock mustang but the right side inner is from something else, it hasn't ben altered by the looks of...

I'm rebuilding and restoring the suspension and was wondering if there was any reason to worry about keeping the control arms left and right as they were? They look identical to the naked old eye. I'll be stripping and painting them so I would have to stamp them to make sure. Thanks

I just bought the borgeson sterring box to do a power to power swap so that meant chaning my center link to the manual one. I already did the Granada disc swap years ago and I seem to think we used 68 Cougar tie rods when we did that? What tie rods are you guys using for this conversion? Thanks

This is probably a stupid question. The innder trunk brackets have two oval holes for your bumper to bolt through and then one other 3/8" or so hole that doesn't appear to have any useful purpose? I went to a car show yesterday and checked out a trunk and there was just silicone in it? I was...

I put up a thread earlier about getting a manual rack and by the sounds of it the Borgenson was a better option for ease of driving and as previously mentioned it's for my wife. So now I'm wondering what you folks that may have a power rack feel about that option? Was thinking of Unisteer or...
