    Aod Shift Bezel

    I am preparing to swap the C4 in my 65 Convertible for a 91 Mustang AOD. Does anyone make a shift bezel for the 65 that will line up with the AOD shift positions?

    Replacing Valve Springs

    A valve spring broke last fall in my 65 289 and I had it replaced to get to a show the next week. The mechanic that did the work said everything looked good and he saw no reason for the problem. I plan to replace all the springs with the heads on the engine before the snow melts. Is there...

    What PS Fluid?

    I am converting my 65 289 to the March serpentine system. March says that the 65 PS pump will not work and I have to use one from a '71. The old '65 pump used Type F Transmission Fluid. Is that true for the '71 or should it use regular Power Steering fluid?

    Headlight Help

    I switched my 65 headlights to the Tr-Bar Halogens. When I go to brights the breaker over heats in a few minutes and they shut off until it cools. That makes for exciting night driving.:eek: Has anyone added a headlight relay? I would appreciate suggestions, schematics or where to buy a kit.

    Another Temp question

    I relocated the temp sensor from the front of the manifold near the thermostat to the rear. The temp seems to be a little warmer at the back. Is this to be expected? How much differential is normal?

    # G alternator question

    I converted my 65, 289 to the 3G alternator using the original pulley. The belt continually squeals. It is especially bad when the electric fan or other high current items are on. I have swapped out the alternator but the noise is still there. Is this common? Do I need another pulley?

    I am converting from the 65 2 speed heater fan to a 3-speed. Does anyone have a schematic of the 3-speed wiring? Does it use the same ballast resistor as the 2-speed? I have the 3-speed motor and just located a 3-speed switch. It is a bit confusing since the 2-speed motor has 3 wires and...
