    Do these compression test results seem low to you?

    Hi Stangnet! After a 2 year hiatus from my Mustang (Moved, got married, yada yada...) I'm finally back in the saddle again. I figured that I would start off this summer by doing a compression test on my motor (I had never done one on my car before). I did the test about an hour after...

    Ping Ping Ping - Timing Issues, What are you running?

    Hey classic people! It has been a while since the last time I've posted here, and I need some help. A few years back, I did AFR heads (165's with 61cc chambers), Air Gap RPM intake, Demon 650 vac., Comp XE262 cam, and MSD pro billet distributor. Since then I could never seem to get the...

    1970 Mach 1 4-spd into 68 coupe, easy fit?

    Hey Stangnet, My '68 Coupe currently has a C4 which is no fun. My uncle has a '70 Mach 1 with a 351C and 4 speed toploader. He is willing to give me his toploader and bellhousing because he wants to upgrade. The question is, would this be an easy fit into my car? Will the driveshaft...

    Flexible Rad & Heater Hoses

    Hi guys, I want to oust the crappy rubber hoses for something a little more durable and better looking. What are the best flexible rad & heater hoses on the market? I have been looking at the Coolflex brand, they claim to be seamless copper: http://www.coolflex.com/cfm/welcome.cfm...

    Are Holley squirters interchangeable with Demon squirters?

    I think the duration of my pump shot is not lasting long enough on my Demon, so I was thinking of trying the squirters from my old Holley 600 which are a size smaller to see if it makes things any better. I know the jets and pump cams are interchangeable, so I was wondering if the squirters...

    Am I the only one who?

    Am I the only one who is not all too crazy about newer Mustang rims one Classic Mustangs? To me, the just don't seem to suit the car. Perhaps they don't have enough dish, and seem like they make the car look like a Front Wheel drive. I don't mean to offend those who have them, what you do...

    My dome light fuse keeps blowing, common short cct locations?

    The 7.5 amp fuse for the interior and dome lights keeps blowing on me, there must be a short somewhere because it blows when the lights should be off (Doors closed). This just started happening yesterday. Are there any common areas to check for a short circuit? TIA.

    Another Nissan Powered Classic Mustang

    Sure looks weird in there. Rumour has it that it's for F&F3. I don't dislike it. However, I HATE the fart can on the back. At least make it look good with nice dual piping, pre axle mufflers. God knows the car has the room.

    Would a '70 clutch/brake pedal assembly work in a '68?

    My uncle has a spare pedal assembly from his 1970 Mach 1 he will give me if it will work in my car, so I can do a T5 swap.

    What would you do if?

    You wanted to put a T5 into your classic Mustang, but you have an original center console for an automatic. Would you? - Attempt to modify the stock console for the standard - Go without a console and sell it - Go without a console and keep it in case you ever wanted to return the...

    New best ET at the track for me :)

    Well, I finally got a powertrax no-slip locker and 3.55's in my car, and ran a best at the track of 14.94 @ 95 mph on my first run. 60' time was a ****ty 2.4, no traction and a lot of wheel hop. I know it's still nothing to brag about but I'm happy so far. Then I found out that I had...

    Question about the resistor wire.

    I decided to take a look at my ignition wiring the other day. I have been running my MSD coil and Ready to Run distributor straight off of the wire that goes to my coil and It actually has seemed to run fine thus far. However, what I can't understand is that when I have the key in the "on"...

    PCV's and Breathers? Some questions

    On my car I have a PCV valve going into the intake manifold on one side of the motor, and a K&N breather on the other side. Wouldn't common sense dictate that unmetered air could be going in the breather and up the PCV valve into my intake? But then again, don't these cars have a PCV...

    Damn do I ever need gears :(

    So I took the car out to the local dragstrip for the Friday night street legal event. I just wanted to try her out after doing all my motor mods, however as you may or may not know I switched back to the 2.80 gears since my 3.40's were toast (And I have a 9" with 3.50's sitting and waiting)...

    Gear ratios and dynotuning?

    I wanted to build up the 9" I got for my car with 3.50 gears, but because I'm going to be taking a 2 month trip to Europe this summer, I don't have the funds to build it for this summer. I wanted to know if I could dynotune my car with the 2.80 gears and put the 3.50 gears in later, or will...

    B&M Transpak kit for C4?

    Who has experience with them? Is it something I can install myself (I've never taken an auto tranny apart before), without pulling the tranny? Do they work as well as they say? Does it make the C4 downshift at any speed, and hold the gear to any speed? If it's not too difficult, I think I...

    Deep aluminum trans. pans for C4's

    How many of you guys are running these style pans on your cars? I know TCI and B&M make them. (TCI holds 1 quart more than stock, B&M holds 2 quarts more than stock but costs $50 more) What are your thoughts? I'm asking because over the winter my transmission pan leaked out a bunch of...

    Should I be able to hit 13's?

    With my current combo, well tuned, once I get the 9" in with the 3.50 gears (and trak-loc)? All i'm shooting for this summer is to be able to walk on my buddy's 91 5.0. He talks a lot of smack, and it pisses me off. When someone is giving me compliments about my car, he'll make a comment...
