I had an MSD in my 65 that just interrupted the spark instead off shutting things down. Its tough in a turn when it hits.

Bought a 2010 GT today. I am looking forward to getting to know a new Stang.

Just wanted to tell everyone how much I have appreciated your help. My son will be driving the 65 now and I will be learning how to tame the new one. I have demanded visitation rights. I'll be checking in anyway cause I might can still help some others. See you soon!

Rear Suspension Help I have 5 leaf mid eye rear leafs on my 65 with KYB gas adjusts. I am running 17x8s with tires that hit up inside my wheel wells on bad dips when I am alone which is 99 % of the time and fairly often when I travel with a passenger and luggage. No damage is caused but it is...

I just finished installing LCAs with spherical bearings, adjustable strut rods, and a roller idler arm on my 65. I already had their UCAs and roller spring perches. The car is more precise and easy to steer. It has no "slop" over bumps meaning it feels tighter, it tracks better. I am very...

I need to build an engine. My 289 has been rebuilt three times and has 300K + on it. I want to buy a good 302 roller block to start the build. I use my car as a daily driver and the engine will sit in front of a T5Z and 3:55 gears. I will autocross a few times a year. I already have Edelbrock...

I am using Bosch but at speed they lift a little and don't work well. My 65 is my daily car and it is especially wet this year.

When I brake at highway speed I get a fairly strong pull to the left. I have: Made sure tire pressure is correct checked brakes at both ends had it aligned replaced upper a arms replaced ball joints I am thinking that the lower arms may be worn and they are moving when I brake??

Has anybody had any experience with the Ultra wheels company? Their Elanor?Edelbrock/Cobra styled wheels are $130 each less than the Amerian Racing or Vintage 60s that they resemble.

I hane an Old Air shrouded electrical fan. One of the wires running to the fan motor gets hot enough that it has deformed the realy base and melted the plastic around the terminal on the relay. This does not seem right.

I have searched and Googled and still really don't know what is really necessary. I am about to pull down a freshley re-built 289 that may have wiped a cam lobe. It was broken in properly. I re-built it because it wiped a lobe at about 24K miles after a cam change. I have the money...

I have 150 daily driver miles on a fresh 289. I broke the cam and lifters in with Valvolene VR1 and Comp Cams additive for 30 mins at 2000-2500 rpm then changed to fresh oil and filter. One lifter taps for about 10 secs unless I spin the engine some before setting the choke. All per-loaded 3/4...

I have upgraded my engine from Edelbrock performer intake, cam, and Performer RPM heads with stock pistons, to Edelbrock performer RPM intake, Comp Cams XE268H, KB Flat top pistons. Do I need to make the mixture richer before I run it for 30 minutes at 2500 rpm? I don't want it too lean nor do I...

OK, I decided to overhaul the 289 instead of just replacing the cam. Going back with Keith Black Flat Tops + .030 Comp Cams XE268H Edelbrock RPM Manifold And fixing little things as I go. Hoping for 275 - 300 at the flywheel

On the way to Clemson SC for a football game, had been driving 70-75 mph, 2300 rpm, going up a hill start to lose power and a jolt like I hit something. Turn down the music give her a little gas and pop, it is backfiring. Not all the time but when throttle is applied. Pull in to a station and...

I have a "chirp" from the throw out bearing that stops as I put pressure on the clutch pedal. How much preload should I have on the cable set up? I thought I saw a thread on this before but could not find it...

I took a short mile trip this weekend. On the way there I drove at 80/85 and got 17.8 mpg. On the way back stayed below 70 and got 21.9 mpg. I saved 8 bucks by spending a little more time on the road. I am going to stay below 2000 rpm shift point and see what I can do on my daily drive which is...

After 40 years my plastic handle broke. The new one broke after two weeks. This one will stay. I took the handle to Lowes, found a pipe thread that matched the OD of the shaft coming from the E-Brake, force threaded it to the handle, drilled and tapped a hole to match the hole in the shaft...

I had my Mustand dynoed in December equipped with: 289 with stock dished pistons Edelbrock Performer Manifold Edelbrock 500 cfm carb Edelbrock Performer plus cam Roller rockers HEI Stock Heads (55cc ?) K Code exhaust manifolds to stock gt duals ( h-pipe, 2.25 dia ) 2:79 open diff...

My new Edelbrock heads are on. I am very pleased so far with the results but will have numbers from the dyno soon. Problem is that after it has idled for about a minute, I get a "rattle" from around the Number 2 cylinder tword the center of the intake. It goes completly away with any RPMs...
