thanks 69 fe!

I have gotten such good feedback from this site on all things Ford so thought I would throw this out there for some of you big block guys. I just purchased a 67 Fairlane with a 427 side oiler, 2X4's etc etc, which has 12.5 /1 compression. Obviously this engine will not run on pump gas with that...

Just like Mustang 70 said, the belt must be correct. A "V" belt is made to run on the sides of the "V", not the bottom. If the belt is bottomed in the "V", it will slip and heat the pully which in turn heats the alternator to the point of failure. All this can happen without any squeeling. In...

thanks Hack, Everything you said is basically correct and I appreciate the info about the casting number near the starter. The problem with the water pumps was that some of the bolt holes that were not drilled in the casting on my water pump were drilled on the one from Auto Zone, and the one...

I just purchased a Falcon with a 351C (?) and need to identify the engine year. I am having a heck of a time finding a water pump for it. It has 2V heads but where can I go to look for a date code or something to establish a year so I can get some help at the parts store. They MUST know a car...

I am using the Edlebrock 2 X 4 setup on my 66. I used the stock throttle rod, cut it to length, and re-threaded the end that attaches to the accelerator linkage so I could use the stock bushing. Only took a few minutes. Outlaw66

the two piece is thinner than the one piece. I had to use the two piece on my XB3M 345HP Ford crate motor , with an early front cover. The one piece would not clear the front cover. timing chains are different as well. the double roller chains can hit the block around the crank gear. look very...

Run the ground cable back fwd to the bellhousing and you want have anymore problems. I always had problems with trunk gounds. When I rewired the 66, I ran the battery ground cable all the way fwd to the bellhousing and have never had any electrical problems. I also used 2.0 welding cable for...

If you are actually burning up alternators this often, one important thing that is often overlooked is the wrong belt. If the belt slips (AND THEY DO AND DO NOT MAKE NOISE),because the belt does not fit the pulley properly, the pully heats up to the point that after a period, it burns up the...

6r09k, the trunk lid is fiberglass as well as the quarterends. The components were purchased back in the 80's, I "think" from Maier, the PO does not remember exactly. I have no idea how long Maier has been in business. Regardless, the lid and quarter extensions are nice pieces and fit well. I'm...

Anyone have good or bad experience with any Mustang suppliers on replacement seat & back cushions and seat covers? Do all the Mustang houses use the same vendors for cushions and covers? I intend to replace the cushions and covers and was looking for quality replacements. Any feedback...

I had the same problem from Advanced Auto. The M/T starter would not fit the blockplate hole in the bellhousing for use with the T-5. Outlaw

I have a set of 65/66 steel heads with 1.94 and 1.60 valves. The valves/springs and valve job only have about 200 miles on them since new. I pulled them off and replaced with some Jegs aluminum heads. I want $350 for the heads + shipping. I also have a set of Erson 1.6 roller rockers to go with...

the red is almost a candy apple red. The pics don;t really show the color well at all. The white is the base white, according to the PO, and I believe a Ditzler color. The white is lacquer. Hey gtss, pls post some pics of your 66. My hatchback has 275/40/17's on the front and 285 Goodyears...

Dang Krash, how did you know, you've read my mind. I'm having a little trouble locating a Mr. Gasket hood scoop. I sure am glad I saved those shackles! I knew they would come back. I do have a serious question....where can I buy the Goodyear road racing tires. I realize they're not DOT...

Lots of great comments and I agree ...the fronts are pretty...fugly...something. The front fenders are all fiberglass, I believe purchased from Maier back in the 80's. Regardless, they're all glass. I have to agree, removing the fronts and leaving on the rear flares may be TOO 70 ish, but I'm...

I'm gonna keep the flares on the back for sure cause I don't want to replace the fenders, but I'm not sure on the front. As you said, with the tire choices we have now, I don;t need them, and a front fender is pretty easy to replace. The car is painted in lacquer so matching the paint should be...

heres two more!

I just found and purchased this 66. Been in storage since 85. Has SCCA suspension and all Ford parts. Has a CHROME 9 in., chrome trunk hinges, chrome bumper brackets (you'll have to ask the previous owner), lots o spare stuff, both original and race aftermarket, like race seats and fuel cell...
