I am trying to sort out the correct speedo drive gear for my 65 f/b , but am just getting more confused by these online calculators. It is a 4 speed toploader with a 4.1 diff and the car is on 225. 50 . zr16 tyres ... can anyone please help me ???

Thanks for the advice ... at the moment the g/box is out .. so I can't check these ... but I will when it is all back together and running. The cam is timed straight up with 18 deg of initial and 38 all in at 3000 rpm. The plugs are always black when I pull them which leads me again to the power...

Thanks for the reply ... it is an edelbrock mechanical fuel pump .. I haven't measured the pressure. The motor mounts are fairly new and I have just checked them a couple of days ago ... I have the g/box out and am in the process of fitting a new clutch .. the old one was a centerforce dual...

I like the "No Keys" on the windshield ... probably the least of your worries :D:D

I have been doing a bit of research on this problem and think the power valve may be the problem .. or at least part of it. I have a 6.5 installed that came with the carb (Barry Grant Speed Demon) which must be open all the time at idle (and at 1500 - 2000 rpm) and be dumping excess fuel into...

Hi everyone .. I was wondering if anyone could help me to tackle this problem I have with my 65 fastback. the car is virtually undrivable due to bucking and jerking in any gear at less than 2200 rpm In traffic I have to constantly change down and usually finish up in first or second gear to keep...

Hi there Thanks for the reply ... the spring perches I am referring to are on the front suspension .. where the bottom of the coil springs rest. Sorry if I didn't make that too clear in my post.

Hi everyone ... I haven't been on here for ages, but need a little advice. I renewed the spring perches around 10 years ago and when the car has been in for a major rebuild these were removed with the rest of the suspension but when I replaced them , the rubber pads which the coil spring seats...

Anyone had experience or got any good suggestions for some soundproofing which can be stuck onto the underside of the roof before fitting the headlining ... also the best type of adhesive to use in a hot climate ... I don't want it dropping off onto the headlining :nono: thanks in advance.

Thanks for that ... I think I can manage it now !

Just a quickie ... a new data plate for the drivers door ... I have 2 *special* tiny rivets to fit this ...any idea how to actually attach the plate, the rivets don't have a steel pin like ordinary pop rivets.

Hi all ... I am in the process of putting my 65 fastback together after a sheet metal and paint-job. I need to put the doors back together next and would like to know the correct order to put the parts together if anyone can please help. They are completely bare and I have new beltline strips...

Thanks for the replies ..I am confident that I will be able to fit them after paint.It is just that they will be part of my next order and I didn't want to hold up the painting while we waited for them to be delivered here to Spain.

Can anyone please tell me if I can fit the front and rear splash shields with the front fenders fitted. When I took the car apart I seem to remember that they were difficult to remove with the fenders in place. The car is coming close to paint now (after almost a year in pieces) and I don't want...

SORTED !! Hi all .... I have solved my problem. When I rebuilt the carb I used new, but leftover gaskets from various Holley rebuilds. I used a correct gasket on the secondaries, but the gasket on the primaries was as per the attached photo .... original red and the one I used blue ... as you...

Thanks for the reply ..... The power valve I first put in was a brand new 4.5 with a new gasket ... looked OK, the gasket too, and the second was a brand new 8.5 with another new gasket. I can't see what I have done wrong *so wrong that the car won't run* I wouldn't mind if I just had to spend...

Hi all .... I wonder if anyone will be able to help me. I have had a 650 d/p Speed Demon on my mustang for the past 3 years ... recently the gas mileage went to double what is was (using twice as much gas !!) and the plugs were fouling up. I took it off and stuck a Holley on which has been fine...

I think 12 point nuts *should* fit better in a 12 point socket ... but an ordinary 6 flat nut should not be any diiferent IMHO .... I would go for the cheaper of the 2. :nice: I think it would depend on your rockers ... I have the Summit *fat-boy* roller rockers and these are no problem. So...

Hi there thanks for the quick reply ... I already have the heater out and the cowl looks pretty OK ... slight bit of rust round the rim, but the water is not coming in there ... I assume that it is going out of the drain and then coming back into the car along the join between the panel the kick...

Hi all It's been a couple of years since I was last here I guess .. still have my 65 f/b here in Spain :nice: but have been busy building a Cobra replica in the mean time (nearly finished now:D ) What I need to know is what the drain arrangement is for the cowl .. the cowl itself seems OK but I...
