Fuel issues I replaced the filter the other day--forgot to add that--but I guess it could be the fuel pump giving up the ghost, too.

Hi all-- Background: The GT has been randomly turning itself off. No coughing or sputtering--it just dies as if you turned off the key. Replaced the coil with a new flamethrower and checked the ignition switch (replaced a year ago with a new motorcraft switch) and all seems well. Took it...

Thanks! I'll try the + side tomorrow. That's an easy check. Anything else while I'm looking?

Hello all-- The GT did something interesting today--twice--while headed into town. I was driving along and it just shut off, once at about 15 mph and once at about 35 mph. No coughing/sputtering. Just like you had turned the key off. I coasted for a minute, shifted into N and it...

If the place is a bit shady, you may have the wrong pushrod. That'd explain your wimpy pedal. I've always wanted to go to KAR just to window shop!

Man, you could eat off of that engine. People would buy that in a kit form, you know.

Better to seek help when you need it than have someone plow into the back of your new car. No harm in asking for help when you need it. Get them to show it to you and then you won't have to ask the next time. Learning to work on these monsters is a on-going process. I've asked for help many...

Put a new sender in today and noticed that the oil pressure is not reading as high as it was. (I take this for a bad sender.) Now the fuel and oil pressure gauge wiggle, slightly, in unison. The Instrument Panel Voltage Regulator is the next fix. While I have it out, I'll go ahead and...

65--I think that's what I'll try. Will the mechanical sender fit onto the "stalk" that the stock sender screws into?

Hi there-- I've been having problems with the GT using oil. I know I have one, possibly two bad rings. Ok, the latest is that at a constant speed, the oil pressure will drop from 3/4 across the gauge where it usually rides to between 1/4 and 1/3 across the gauge. Just changed the oil...

For buzzing around town, a 6 is fine with me. Don't get my wrong, I like being able to step down on the pedal and feel my GT go, but do go back and forth to work this'd do quite nicely. I like the car. YMMV

Hey people! I need a good stereo installer in Baton Rouge/Hammond/Mandeville. Who is good? Know anything about Mobile One Autosound in Covington David's Car Stereo in Baton Rouge? (I really would like an Apline Dealer.) Thanks! --Paul

Bob, I have to admit that drilling into anything on the old pony gives me the shakes. But, it does look nice. Still, I'm a weenie. I freely admit it. :D :nice:

I'm with you on the A-Pillar pods. I haven't seen them installed. I guess I'm just a chicken!

Bob--How deep does the pod go? All the way to the metal defroster/speaker cover? Is the pod paintable/dyable for those of us without black dashes? I've been wanting to add a few extra gauges but haven't had much luck looking around other than pillar pods and such. Anyway, I agree with...

What a damn good idea! I especially like the fact that A) you can go back to original in the drop of a hat and B) it is camoflaged with the seat down. Excellent work!

D-- You are right. It isn't IF it'll leak, it's WHEN it leaks. I hadn't thought about the clutter factor. I guess if you are packing a 427 in there, you, most likely, aren't making a go to the grocery store car! That's a big ol' engine. Bet the car would spin the tires. :rolleyes: :D...

I can't imagine that with all of that weight up front that you wouldn't want PS. --P

JSH--I'd swap it out. Any chance you have water in your gas? I think that is was started the problem. As others pointed out, you might want to add a clear filter (inline) ahead of the one on your carb. That way, you could see what is going on. That's going to be my action as soon as I...

I added two bottles of HEET to the tank to get rid of any water in there and since, at least in SE Louisiana terms, it is going to be damn cold for the next two days (highs of 48, lows of 25 :rolleyes: ). While I was at it, I replaced the fuel filter since I had an extra. Car is running like a...
