    Opinions Please.

    I am in the midst of installing an AAW modified chassis harness into my 67 Mustang. Everything has been going well and I am very satisfied with the kit so far. That said, I've run into a bit of a problem. AAW specifies that the fuse box is to be mounted in roughly the same position as the old...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    I thought I'd share with you my experience rewiring a classic Mustang using a modified American Autowire (AAW) chassis wiring harness. This thread will be an update as I go because I am writing it in the midst of installing the kit. Now while the kit I am using is AAW, much of the information...

    Ride Height

    Hey guys, I recently got some new suspension parts put on to replace my old stuff. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet because more work has to be done however upon first glance it looks like my rear is lower than my front. (I haven't measured yet but that appears to be the case) This is...

    Painless vs. American Autowire Chassis Wiring Harnesses

    I'm looking to rewire my 67 Mustang and the two big vendors for complete harnesses seems to be Painless and American Autowire. Painless is the established name but what about Autowire? Which do you think is better? Perhaps it depends on application. For my car, I'm using a 3G alternator, MSD...

    Stupid Steering Column Problem

    I took my steering box out to do some paint work on the frame. Well I reinstalled the box and slipped the column over the shaft and went to bolt the (for lack of a better term) column support to the bottom of the dash. Well I got underneath it and realized it basically bolts to the pedal...

    Hood hinge "nuts"

    Does anyone happen to know where I can find the "nuts" that are welded into the aprons that allow the hood hinges to be bolted to the aprons? I cross threaded one, broke the weld and subsequently lost it. Go me. I haven't had any luck with the mustang vendors, like Mustangs Unlimited, etc. I...

    How badly did I screw up?

    My 67 Coupe is currently getting new shock towers put in after I discovered the old ones were badly cracked. Well I got the new ones in and figured I should go ahead and do the shelby drop. Before I discovered the shock tower issue I ordered a complete suspension rebuild kit via opentracker...

    Shock Tower Replacements and Reinforcement Kits

    I'm going to be replacing my badly crack shock towers in the next week or two, but before I do I wanted to run a few questions by you guys and gals about stuff I need to buy and your opinions on what I may or may not need. First, shock towers. What should I get? Are all the of reproduction...

    Interior Front Frame Rail Rust

    I'll try to describe this as best as I can without pictures (I'll add them later when it's not dark out). On bottom of both front frame rails there is an oval hole near the radiator core support. This leaves the inside of the front frame rails exposed to the elements. From everything I can tell...

    Liquid Nails, a substitute for seam sealer?

    I've heard that liquid nails can be used as a substitute for seam sealer. Is this true? I've read that the actual seam sealer is the 3M Seam Sealer, but I'm not sure where I can get it locally...especially on July 4th.

    Another shock tower issue thread...

    Last weekend I was pulling out all of my old suspension components to replace them with new ones. Before I put the new stuff in I thought I'd clean up the inner fender area and repaint it. Well this is what I found in the shock tower... Looks like the previous owner...

    Question regarding Eastwood Products and Body Prep

    I'm completely redoing my suspension either this weekend or the next and figure while I have all the stuff removed I might as well address the surface rust I see on the inner fenders. From what I can tell it doesn't need anything more than a wire wheeling/sanding to get rid of all the surface...

    Holley 4160 Secondaries Leaking?

    I have a Holley 4160 on my 302 that's less than 2 years old. I bought it brand new from summit about a year and a half ago. To this point I haven't had any problems with it. However last weekend I was having starting issues. It would start run fine for awhile and then bog, and idle roughly and...

    Do I need to pull my transmission?

    I have a 67 with a C4 transmission. Since putting my new motor in I've noticed some odd issues with the tranny. Basically, it is spewing ATF when I park it after a drive. The first time it happened I came outside to see a very large puddle of ATF on the driveway. I remembered the car was running...

    My new wheels

    I finally was able to take the car and take a few pictures after purchasing some new wheels. What do you guys think? Suspension will need work as evident in that raked up angle of the car.

    C4 Transmission Filter Diagram?

    I'm changing out my transmission filter today and notice on the last bolts I take out that there is a spring and pin that fall out from underneath one of the tabs of the filter. I think I know where the spring goes but don't know where the pin came from. Does anyone have a schematic of the...

    Electric Choke Draining Battery?

    Has anyone had this problem? Something was draining my battery so what I did was wired a tail light bulb in series with the battery to see if it would light up. It did, so I started pulling fuses. (Saw this tip on here from somebody). Second fuse I pulled was for the electric choke and the light...

    Another tire fitment question

    I know there have been a lot of these threads so please excuse me. I just want to make sure that I can indeed fit a 235/40/17 tire on the front of 67 coupe before I purchase them. The wheels I'm using are 17x8s and they have 0mm offset and 4.50" backspacing. Thanks :nice: EDIT: My...
