I've got a built '65 289. I'm using the original distributor which has been upgraded to electronic ignition with an Ignitor II. Base timing is 16 degrees. Disti is adding another 22 max. I'm trying to dial in the vacuum advance and when I turn the vacuum adjustment 3 turns from the lowest...

My '65 block was rebuilt as a 331 stroker using a scat crankshaft part number 4-302-3250-5400. My builder reused the original damper and the original timing cover which has the pointer on the driver side. Now that I have the motor back in the car and running, when I tried to adjust the timing...

Let me know what you think.

I am in the process of restoring a 65. I have replaced all the wiring harnesses and moved the battery to the trunk. I have also switched to the Ford Motorsports mini starter. When I installed the new mini starter I thought I would be slick and use an original 65 starter wire from the fender...

I've been looking for step by step instructions on how to change the gear oil in a 1965 Ford 8" rear end and have not been successful. I think the process must be different than for a 9". Can anyone give me the steps or direct me to a link where I can find them? Thanks

I am having a problem with the bolts that hold on the front brake hose bracket to the frame. On one side the bolt will freely turn either way but will not get tighter when you turn right and will not come out when you turn left. On the other side the bolt will come out when turning to the left...

Hi, These wheels were on the 65 GT350R clone that I purchased 8 years ago. I can't remember exactly what the previous owner said about them but it was something to the effect that they were valuable. They definitely have some years on them but I don't know how to determine if they are from an...

Hi, I am installing the attached master cylinder in my 65 mustang. My car has front discs (not original) and rear drums, so I believe this is the correct master cylinder. I noticed that this master cylinder has two outlets. So my first question is to confirm that the outlet on the front...

I am interested in installing the GT500 wheels with the eibach prokit on my 2005 GT. In particular, I would like to put the 285 40 18 tires on the rear with this combination. This is the same tire size that the GT500 uses. Does anyone have any experience with this combination or know if it...

I am located in North Carolina and would like any recommendations of good body shops for paintwork on my 65 Fastback. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Did any of you read the article in the back of the Nov 2004 Mustang Monthly magazine titled "The Stealthy HI-PO That Got Away"? In the article they make the assumption that a C5AE-6015E engine block casting is a HI-PO. I don't think it's an assumption you can make. My reference guide tells me...

Does anyone know of way to obtain the information on the top part of the data plate such as the body, color, trim, date, DSO, Axle, trans. I only have the VIN number to my 65 and would like to find out the other information and have a new data plate made up. Thanks

I noticed that Flaming River sells a 19:1 and 16:1 box. I already have the 16:1 pitman arm. Do you think the steering will be too quick if I were to replace the current OE box with a 16:1 box and use the Shelby 16:1 pitman arm? Thanks

I need some recommendations for a machine shop in North Carolina to do the machine work on the 289 I am rebuilding. I prefer the Raleigh area, but I don't mind driving a distance either.

I am planning to add a 347 stroker kit to my 289 during the rebuild process. I would appreciate recommendations of high quality kits and any problems you may have encountered with the kit. Thanks

I am getting ready to rebuild the 289 in my 65 fastback. I'd like to get approx. 385-400 horsepower from it once rebuilt. Can anyone recommend a set of internal components that have been proven to develop this much horsepower. I'd like to avoid a stroker kit unless it is absolutely necessary...
