As you can see in the pictures below the tab on my drivers side spring perch is right up against the A arm. What would cause this? Fairly new perches, brand new coils, ~15 year old A arms. Maybe I should pony up and get the rollers, but I'd hate to ruin those too if they align like this...

Stopped by the local stang shop here in Rancho Cordova, and there out in front was the unmistakable blue shell of a 67 mustang fastback. Took a look around and one of the guys pointed out some things. The shock tower change looks really beefy. Overall I actually thought it looked pretty good...

So I finished up my in-car engine freshening (new intake, carb, timing chain, oil pump) and I have a pretty major oil leak from the back. Originally I was thinking it was the rear main becuase that was the one thing I didn't check, but after reading several threads I am thinking the pan gasket...

While doing some other work on the engine I cleaned off the dampener and highlighted the marks so you could read them way better. Well now when I go to time the car, the only place it will actually run is about 20 degrees off. As you can see in the pic an old scratch is on the dampener that...

I am finding out that I don't know jack about pipe threads and fittings, so hopefully someone can lend some insight into this. How do I figure out what size I need for the following applications? Problem 1: I am trying to find a fitting that screws into the fuel pump and gives me a nipple to...

Figured someone here may be able to enlighten me on this one. My brother and I own a 1994 Chaparral ski boat, and have been having problems with the carb. When we got it I was looking at the carb and saw that it was a carter AFB, just like my edelbrock. So my brother tears down the carb and...

I'm installing a new timing chain (summit's true roller) on my 289. Problem is the new appears to have more slack in it than the old one. Also the old one took some coaxing with a puller, but the new one just sorta sits on there. Any thoughts? The part number on the box appears correct...

Is anyone going to the Mustangs Plus show this weekend? Mines on jackstands right now, but I'm going to drag a buddy down and check it out. I need some photos of fuel line routing and other engine compartment tricks, so if you see some guy crawling around in there it's just me!

So I am "renovating" a ~20 year old rebuilt 289, and ended up pulling the timing chain cover and oil pan becuase it was pretty much leaking from all over. I measured the deflection in the chain at 1/4", and the shop manual says 1/2" is maximum acceptable. Also it has had low oil pressure at...

I know I have replaced this thing several times over the years, the last just to attempt to fix this issue. The thing just leaks around the cover over time. Any suggestions on a fix to keep this from happening? Is there a good (not too expensive - i.e. not billet) replacement for the stock...

I have always assumed that the interiors in our classics were always vinyl (like my 68), and it bugs me everytime I read a classified or something and it says "leather seats", when I know they are vinyl. But today I am looking at Barrett Jackson and reading about this Shelby that sold for...

After reading several threads and searching through the forums I am stuck with a question: Why would someone choose to use the Painless kit (or similar) over stock-type replacement pieces? From what I have read the "painless" kit seems anything but. I am starting a 4th (or so)...

So I got the latest newsletter/magazine thing from Mustangs Plus on Saturday and there is an article about how Ford has sicked the lawyers on them and is making them change their name "or else". Has anyone else heard about this? I having been trying to find info on the web, but haven't found...

Hey all, I am having a heck of a time figuring out how these are supposed to work, and I know someone out there has used them. The two lines say "right" and "left", not drivers/passengers which would seem way more logical to me. Also the instructions say: "Loop the brake line around the...

This is sorta long, but bear with me: So I am getting back to Granada swap project on my 68 coupe that I started a month or two ago. I finally decided to put in some 620s springs just to hopefully level it out, and this would be a good time to do it seeing as how most of the front end needs...

Questions about the "Shelby Drop" I am currently embarking on a disc brake conversion on my 68, and I ran across the shelby drop in my search for resources. A couple of questions for anyone who has done this: Does it create any structural issues (extra holes where they shouldn't be)? Can...
