    wheels and tires on a 66

    The best way to figure this out is to call around and find out which tire shops can measure for the widest tire package. Sometimes they will charge for the service or throw it in for free if you buy the tires from them. If you roll or cut the inner lip of the rear wheel well opening I...

    LED Light Question

    The LEDs plug right in and are super bright without the resistor. They just fit in the socket like a regular bulb and glow bright. The turn signals are especially bright. Just make sure that whatever manuf. you go with matches the socket for your bulb and you should be all set. PS: I...

    Need Help w/ Sound Insulation for '65 Coupe

    You can never go wrong with Dynomat. You can buy it 12"x12" sheets or on rolls. It's not the cheapest thing on the block but it definately works the best. It will add a tremendous amount of weight to the entire car; roughly 250 to 300 pounds if you do the floor, doors, firewall, trunk, roof...

    Caltrac's or Traction Master?

    every serious 1/4mile or 1/8mile car I've seen that is competitive with leafsprings runs Cal-Traks. The all lift the front wheels and dig hard. make sure your tires and beadlocks are up to the challenge. 31 spline is pretty small if you want to run in the mid-10's. If you have a choice on...

    Turn Signal Problem - WTF?!!

    i had the same issue from a missing bulb. the right side signals share a ground (common ground) and the left side share a separate ground. as these cars are getting older minor weird stuff starts to break like the bulb pot itself may need to be replaced. i have odd wiring issues from time...

    I Can't Find the Header Options / Fitment Chart

    I have hooker headers full 4 to 1 equal length headers on mine. similar setup too. I didn't even have to lift the left side of the motor off the mount. I slid it in from underneath. I just fought with the bolts and ended up buying two sets, a short set and a long set for the stock heads...

    66 mustang speedometer cable lock

    hard to see the hole. it is a loose oval shape and has a key insert like a two bladed handcuff key. tried a cuff key, didn't work. won't accept any of my lockpicks or flat-head screwdriver. It's deep enough to keep anyone from removing the cable from the guage.

    Fact or Fiction

    he's right. the only thing holding up the headliner are a few thin metal archs and the windshield and rear window. the headliner doesn't actually attach to the roof. you could weld in supports for a custom headliner or glue the headliner directly to the roof.

    Wheel falls off

    I'd say if you're going to use an air tool to snug down the lugs, I would use a regular 3/8's air ratchet instead of an impact wrench. just a little safer

    Wheel falls off

    If you use an impact wrench to tighten lug nuts you can micro-fracture the studs. the next time the wheel falls off it will sheer the studs right off the spindle, causing even more serious damage. have seen this mutliple times on the road. the most recent was from Jack Furriers here in...
