I just recently put a Wieand Stealth and an Edelbrock 4bbl on my 65. I had some old gas in the tank and thought that was the prob. so I drained that and purged the fuel line. I also replaced the plugs, but the thing still won't start. If I spray ether down the intake it will start, but it...

I just started swapping over my 2bb to a 4 bbl on my 65 289. I bought an edelbrock 600 cfm and a Weiand Stealth manifold. As I started to hook things up I noticed that most, if not all of the plumbing and linkages needed to be changed. For example, the throttle linkage doesn't line up with...

I misplaced my left parking brake lever. It's the piece of stamped sheetmetal that fits behind the brake shoe. I can't find one anywhere. I've tried several of the online sites and the usuals, AutoZone O'reilly's etc. Does anybody have one or know where I can find one? The car is a 65 v8...

I was trying to put my limited slip diff in tonight, but I can't get the old one out. I have the axles out, the drive shaft disconnected and the nuts off the face and the thing won't budge. I'm sure that it is rusted on to the housing, like everything else on the car. Does anyone have any...

I'm ready to put my limited slip in and thought that since I would have the axles out I would go ahead and add rear discs. How difficult is this swap? I have heard stories about parking brake problems. Also, I know there are several companies that make the kits and a few folks sell them on...

I have a 65 that I am restoring. I went to replace the shocks and found that the nuts were rusted to the shock. I was able to remove the lower nuts, by holding the shock body with channel locks. Can anyone tell me how to remove the upper nut. Right now the whole thing just spins when I try...

A buddy of mine is trying to talk me into converting my 8 inch rearend to a T-Bird independent rearend. Has anyone ever attempted this? Will it work? How difficult is it? Thanks

I'm converting my 289 to a 5.0 and I have read that it is best to go with the Mass flow setup over the speed density setup. I don't know much about the later Mustangs, so how can I tell the difference between the two? Thanks

I'm looking for a donor car with an AOD and a 5.0 for my 65 Coupe. I've noticed that Fox Mustangs are hard to find. Can anyone tell me how the drivetrain from a Crown Vic or a Grand Marquis would work out. You can find them all day long for reasonable prices. Are there any differences in the...

I have a 65 "Lo-Po" 289 in it and I was wondering what the stock valve sizes are in this engine. Also, does anyone have any experiences with Power Heads, out of CA? Do they sell a good product? Thanks

I'm "resto-moding" my 65 coupe. I was interested in swapping over to an AOD. The car currently has a C4. My questions are: should I keep the C4, I heard that there is an OD kit for it; should I go AOD; will the AOD fit the tunnel; will headers clear it; what all would I need to do the swap...

I want to put R&P on my 65 V8. I already have MasterPower disc brakes on it, so I don't want to go MustangII. I have heard of Tempo and Taurus swaps. Does anyone know what I need to have, and do to use one of these Rack and Pinion systems? Thanks, Kent
