I'm looking for some options to increase the bass in my 68 convertible. My current set up is a RetroSound RC900C radio, 4-channel 50/w RMS amp and Pioneer 6.5 kick panel speakers. Highs and mids sound OK, but zero bass. My thought was to build a hump hugger subwoofer box that would fit behind...

I installed the Borgeson PS conversion about a year ago and all was well initially. Now after about 4k miles, the box seems to not be as tight as when it went in and the play at center has increased. Anyone else had this problem? Any adjustments I can make to tighten things back up? I...

The Borgeson box install on my 68 went well and I can't believe the difference in the way the car drives. True night & day difference. The only thing I don't like is the way the hoses route across the inner fender. It looks terrible and also I get some vibration from the hoses at low speeds...

I finally took my car to the track and was a bit disappointed with my ETs. I'm pretty sure it's more me and less the car, but I'm not exactly sure what I need to work on. Does the information on the timeslip give me clues as to what I'm doing wrong? My best run was: - R/T = .117 - 60' =...

I noticed today that the 2 nuts holding the power steering ram to the frame had backed out. Is there any adjustment needed on these or do you just tighten them snug to the bracket?

I've been researching replacement speaker options for my 68 convertible. I'm looking for a direct bolt in without any under dash customization. The 2 I'm considering are Custom AutoSound 1004 dual cone or Retrosound R-410N single cone. Both have 2 channels and are suppose to be direct...

I’ve been replacing and replacing and replacing my stock PS parts for several years now. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that regardless of what I do to my stock PS it will always be vague with little road feel along with a noticeable dead spot in the center. I’ve been eying different R&P...

I replaced my blown header gaskets with Mr. Gasket copper gaskets and they leak worse than the old ones. Any tricks to the copper ones before I replace them with the good old Felpros?

I want to put speakers in the rear quarter panel fiberglass arm rests and have a few questions for those that have done this: • What is the max diameter for this area? I’m thinking 4” round max. • What is the max depth for under the ashtray? 1 1/2? • Any suggestions on which speakers? I...

I just installed a 'new' Flaming River PS control valve on my '68 and need some adjsutment help. Everything is connected correctly with no leaks (finally), but it drives terrible. It feels like it does not have PS at all or the belt is disconnected. There is a big dead spot on center and very...

Has anyone tried these? They look closer to stock than the Elites and not quite as agressive as the Rally's. Also a great deal at Summit. Reenmachine, thanks for the great review on the Rally & Elites.

My engine is borderline with running my power brakes at 16-17". I've added a vacuum canister that helped some, but the brakes get real hard in stop&go traffic. I'm thinking about getting an electric vacuum pump. Any recommendations? Any draw backs beside the noise and cost? Also, how noisy...

I recently removed my gas tank and had it boiled it out. When in installed it, I replaced the filler neck hose. Now when it fill up (and unfortunately that is way too often) it is a real pain. I either get gas overflow or constant shut off at the pump. I've checked all the clamps and they...

I just had my front-end aligned and my car seems to wander a bit on the freeway. Yesterday I was talking to our local Mustang shop owner and he said that for older Mustangs running radial tires, the camber should be between +3 to +3 1/2 degrees. This, he said, will improve stability on the...

I was resently told by Mustangs Plus that the new FR R&P will not work with headers. It is for a stock application only. Can anyone confirm or dispute this? Thanks for the feedback.

I still have the original California black & yellow license plates on my car and they are getting a little worn out. DMV told me that if they get to the point where they are hard to read, which is true, I can get a fixt it ticket. Then I'd have to get the new blue and white plates. Does anyone...
