I had the day off today so I started bolting up 2013 Mustang GT rotors and calipers to my original drum spindles. I freshened up the drum hub with new bearings and seals, new and longer wheels studs, then bolted the calipers up using MustangSteves brackets. Below are pictures of the setup...

My oil pressure light has decided it wants to stay on- with the key in or out, I thought it might have been a bad sensor so I replaced that with no improvement. If I disconnect the wire at the sensor the light goes off. It seems especially strange to me that the light will stay on when I pull...

I am planning on upgrading the front and rear brakes on my '65 to either the '05 Gt or the Cobra set-up. Aside from the most obvious difference in rotor size, 12.5" vs 13", what are the pro's and cons of either set-up. I know the cobra calipers are basically the same as the C4 corvette. At...

I am tired of my dim brake lights so I am going to put in some LED taillights as well as LED front turn signals. I understand that I need to use a new turn signal flasher to make them function correctly, but I am not sure which one. Yearone has 2 different LED flashers, one of them has 2...

Does any have the dimensions for the bolt spacing on the frt. cobra caliper bracket to where it mounts to the spindle or happen to have a bracket laying around that they can take some measurements on? I am working on a project for my '65. Thanks

First the Good news, I was finally able to get my drag radials (235 BFG's) on and get to the track, and I really improved my times, although I still have a lot to gain in my 60'. 1st Run (20 PSI in tires) R/T ... .200 60' ... 2.034...

I am trying to change the jets on my Mighty Demon, it seems one jet is just stuck. then to compound the issue the slot is starting to strip which is now making it nearly impossible to get any torque to get it out. I don't want to damage my carb, so does anyone have any tips on getting out...

Looks like I am going to finally get my stang on to a dyno this Saturday. I am hoping for numbers in the mid 300s at the wheels. Anyone want to take guess what kind of power she will put down? Here are the engine specs below: DSS 347 Shortblock (compression is supposed to be...

I finally got around to getting my new exhaust installed, I had dual 2.25" straight pipes with Flowmasters. I now have the 2.5" Magnaflow kit with x-pipe. Its sounds alright, definately quieter in all aspects compared to my old setup- I miss my Flows! It definately looks pretty though. I...

For those of you who have installed the R-Model (no bumper)fiberglass valance on your 65/66, what did you about the hood latch?

This was my first trip to the track since last October, so I wanted to get a few runs in before I head back with my new drag radials. Unfortunately it didn't go as well as planned. Basically during my 1-2, and more so my 2-3 & 3-4 shifts, the clutch pedal seems to occasionally stick in the...

Can any one tell me the dimensions of the exhaust cut outs in the GT valalance with and with out the trim ring? or what size exhaust they are running through it? I am considering buying the GT valance & I am trying to figure out if my new exhaust will fit throught the holes

SOLD For sale a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radial tires-used. Size 275/50/15 They are in great shape- like new, and have very few passes on them. I bought them from a buddy, and I used them only for a mock up on my '65 and decided I need a smaller tire. I am asking...

Just thought I would share my findings. Today I test fitted my Mickey Thompson Drag Radials 275/50/15s with 15x8" wheels with 4.75" Backspacing on my '65, unfortunately they did not fit- all though its really close Option 1: They will fit if I go with 4.5" backspacing or put a .25" spacer...

I finally got the stang out to the track today for the first time since installing the the 347 this past spring. It was perfect day to be at the track: sunny 60 degrees and not to busy. I definately had a traction issue, so I was really trying to ease it off the line but I was having some...

I posted a thread a couple weeks ago, regarding my itch to pick up some wheels to mount drag radials on. I decided to go with some cheap steel wheels from summit that are 15 x 8's that I can get with 4.75", 4.5" or 4" backspacing, that cost less then $50 a piece. Now I need to decide what...

I have been considering picking up a set of wheels and some decent rubber, either a true slick or drag radial for use at only at the track. Myy question is are then any good wheels that I can get cheap like from a newer mustang and that will be a good size and fit well? Should I look for...

Like the subject says, is a 3" exahust pipe diameter too big? Reason I am asking is that currently I have an old rusted 2.25" system with no x or h-pipe, and flowmaster mufflers that I have been looking to upgrade, especially since I put in the DSS 347 which should be a solid 430 HP (+/-15)...

I am going to ask my g/f for a new front valence for x-mas this year and I have decided I want the Shelby racing valence that has the brake cooling holes and has parking light holes, that does not accept a bumper- like the one in the pic below. So I would like to hear peoples experiences with...

I parted out my 289 for my 347 build, I have already sold most of my parts, but I have a few things left. I have pics of everything if anyone is wants them, buyers will pay actual shipping from Fedex or can pick-up. Here is the list: TrickFlow Twisted Wedge Heads less then 2000 miles...
