    transmision fluid?

    I hooked up the 2 hoses from the control valve to the slave cylinder backwards one time. When I fired the engine up and grabed the steering wheel to bleed the air from the system the back lash from the control valve going nuts cause the fluid (trans fluid) to spew out of the pump and cover...

    1-Wire Alternator Issues

    Check the resistance from the case of your alternator to the negative pole of your battery. It should be very low (I'm no electrical guru but I think you want ~3 ohms or less).

    Rusty Floor Pans

    You first step should probably be to get up under your dash with a flashlight and check out your cowl...theres a 99.9% chance that the waterthat rusted out your floor came from there. You can run a garden hose into your cowl as well to help you find any leaks. With luck it won't be too bad in...

    Aftermarket wire harness wire colors

    Alot of the universal harnesses (Painless for instance) use GM standard coding. Once you go through the whole install of the aftermarket harness and follow the diagram that comes with the harness it wont make much of a diffrence that your factory manual wont help you out - the harness...

    Expanding Foam

    Because it deadens sound. It's a great idea - most production cars today do this, except their foam is usally inserted via bags of pelts that expand and fill the cavities once they hit a certain temperature - a temperature seen at somepoint while the unibody is being manufactured...like say...

    Maiden Voyage after MII Install...

    Haha. Yeah Every person i've ever shown that picture to has to say something about "the hatchet" So the only large hammer I own happens to have a hatchet on the back end of it. I got the radiator from Summit, it was $179 and was sold as a Summit brand. "Northern" is stamped on the side of the...

    Maiden Voyage after MII Install...

    I don't know off the top of my head what spring rate I ended up with. I told them that it was a 351w with aluminum heads & intake and they (at Heidts) picked what springs to get me. I was initialy not so sure that they were correct becasue of how high the front end is sitting but when I called...

    Maiden Voyage after MII Install...

    Well I got my brakes bleed and the last few odds and ends put together to make the car "road worthy" since the Heidts MII install. The manual rack is fine once you are moving but at a stand still and backing out of the drive way it is definately a 2 hand project. Heidts claims the...

    My 1970 Mustang project - Frame/Floorpan/Subframes.

    Not only is the change in geometry making the steel stronger like you are describing with the paper analagy you are also strain or work hardening the metal. When you deform the metal it strengthens it. At the same time it makes the metal less ductile meaning it won't deform as much any more...

    Question for those with cages...

    I installed my headliner with my 8 point cage already in the car. It was easy. other than me over trimming one of the headliner bow sleeves. But that was my mistake, not the roll cage's. BTW. I've since removed more of those wrinkles.

    cooling problems

    Poking around with my multi-meter I started to wonder if either the power or ground wires I had ran to supply the fan were no good....perhaps a break or somethign that caused it to work intermittently. I ran some fresh wire direct to the battery to check out the theory and the fan worked...

    cooling problems

    So I get the new fan installed. Start the car, get it idling...go to see what this fan will do and nothing...fan doesnt spin. I didnt hook it up through the termostat control unit yet, I just put leads directly to battery power and ground. Think maybe the control unit does something? Seems to...

    cooling problems

    I got the Flex-a-lite #180...it was $309..ouch...at least it comes with the thermostat control and a sticker. :p I started with the install and it is going to involve surgury on the radiator support...I just dont have enough room between the radiator and water pump pulley. I've began...

    cooling problems

    I verified the Waterpump is correct flow direction, It is for a 70 to 78 351w which is the range my block is from. It also externally looked identical to the stock pump. Good idea to check though. I went out and bit the bullet and got a shrouded electric fan that is supposed to move 3300 CFM...

    cooling problems

    Alright so I have a 351w in my 67 mustang. I just installed a Mildon Aluminum High Flow Water Pump, a Summit brand 2 core aluminum radiator (cross flow, 19" tall, 30" wide) and a summit brand "high flow" 160 degree thermostat. With the engine idling in my garage on a 74 degree day and both...
