    TCP- Manual R/P steering opinions please!

    So I rebuilt the power steering in my 65 fastback about 5 years back with a flaming rivers quick steer box, polyurethan bushings and several other worn out comonents.....While the steering definitely felt more responsive, it never had a tactile feel. .....Fast forward 5 years to the present...

    FR500 Wheel Weights

    So yeah, there are pictures aplenty of the FR500 wheels on mustangs here. But how much do these wheels weigh????? The replica's are inexpensive which is what makes them so enticing, but adversly heavy wheels are definitely a turn off. QUESTION: How much do replica FR500 17x9" & 17x10.5"...

    Hi everyone......I use to hang out in the Classic section forever since I have a 65 Fastback....But I'm contemplating the purchase of an 01-04 GT or Bullitt Mustang as a daily driver/play toy. This decision makes sense to me because the going price seems to be right around the 12K-15K range...

To get into the mood and the spirit of things I thought we could hit up some events put on by associations like COCA, SAAC, or any other cobra owners club.

    Anyone Running a Sequential Gearbox?

    Like the title eludes to: Is anyone running a sequential gearbox in their classic? Or, does anybody have any experience racing with a sequential gearbox which can be adapted to our mustangs with a little elbow grease? I love the potential of the robust yet compact T-5 by G-Force but it's...

If...

    How to pull a stock distributor???

    My brothers 66 mustang has a stock 289 motor with a stock distributor I was going to replace. I tried the other day and was foiled.

    PA Trans. AOD's, what are your thoughts?

    I am currently running a C-4 in my 65 Fastback and I've always toyed with the idea of putting an AOD or manual 5 speed in. But since i'm on a college student, my budget options are limited. I've been reading up on Performance Automatics Super Street AOD. For the Summit price of $1219 it sounds...
