    Tremec and the 65 Mustang

    Okay, I need your help here, guys. I'm getting some work done on my '65. Texas has a friggin' inspection, and I'm getting a bunch of little stuff done. I'm at a reputable "Restoration/Repair" place, and they were doing some impressive things when I was in there. I'm comfortable with their...

    Disc Brakes . . . Completely Utterly Frustrated

    I need help. I'm at my wits end and pissed at the world right now. Here's the basics. I have a 1965 Mustang. Years ago I did the Versy/Grenada full disc swap with a '67 booster and m/c. It worked fairly well since 1994. About a year ago, I decided that it was time to rebuild and upgrade the...

    1965 Upgraded Brakes Upgrade Question?

    Got a brake question for you guys regarding my brakes . . . that have already been upgraded. Many moons ago, I did the traditional front Grenada / rear 9" Versi swap (like in 1994). I have a '67 booster / MC, too. Now I'm looking for something "mo better". There are a buh-jillion kits out...

    Age Old Disc Brake Question For '65s

    What's the best master cylinder and booster to use in a '65? I see so much stuff out there that it turns into white noise. This is basically what I understand. You can use a bunch of different combos of MC/B, but you have to remove or notch the export brace (I've run a '67 unit for years, and...

    1965 Instrument Pod

    Hey, have any of you guys ever installed or used the Tach/Oil (whatever) dual gage pods that can be added to the '65 and '66 Mustangs? I'm just interested in your experiences. Oh, and have you ever done one in blue? LOL!

    About To Replace The Wiring Harness . . .

    Okay, I'm about to replace the wiring harness on my '65, and it looks like the Painless wiring harness is the best one to go with. If not, what's better? I've also heard that the Painless harness doesn't have a lot of the plugs (tail lights and head lights). If not, do any of you guys know...

    Possibly Easy But Expansive Question . . .

    Okay, don't laugh and forgive my ignorance on the subject. I'm an "old timer" and have been driving a '65 since 1985. My wife has a 2000 GT and my best friend has a 2000 GT. Both are sort of looking at upgrading their motors with a swap out. Basically one of the cars has 180k and the other...

    Not quiet, but quietER exhaust

    I'm looking for a little change for my '65. I've run big tube Flowmasters for 15 years, and I'm looking for a new exhaust that sounds "good" but doesn't cause the residents of the local cemetery to call and make a noise complaint. I'm running headers, an X-crossover, and I dump it under the...

    Engine Weird Problem Stalling

    Okay, I've got a '65 with a 351W. She starts just fine, runs fine, and then about 10 minutes in, it acts like it's out of power (gas or electrical) . . . but isn't. When I try to restart, the starter won't turn over but once, BUT when I let off the key, it turns fast once (not enough to...

    '89 Vert Roll Bar

    Hey guys. I've got a friend who's bought an '89 vert, and he's looking for a non-intrusive roll bar for a DD. I think it's for his daughter, so he's looking for more protection than "trick" if you know what I mean. My '65 is caged, but it's all custom. What applications have you guys had...

    65 Electrical Question . . . should be easy!

    Okay, I was putting in a new stereo, a wire slipped and grounded. I lost all the interior power . . . everything. I checked the interior fusebox . . . one was blown. I replaced it. Still now power. Is there a "master fuse" or link somewhere that I'm missing? ALL power on the inside is...

    Short Water Pump in a '65 / 351W

    Okay, I’m hoping this is a simple one for the group. I have a ’65 coupe with a 351W. I bought a packaged aluminum crossflow radiator and fan unit. There isn’t enough clearance for the unit, so I’m going to look at a shorter water pump. This is what I’m thinking: Timing Chain Cover...

    Since Classic Tech is Striking Out . . .

    I fink I'll repost this here . . . Any of you guys have any experience with a Flex-a-lite product called the Flex-a-lite 51160R. It's a fan/aluminum cross-flow radiator combo that looks promising. I need something better to keep my 409 stroker cool with, and I'm hoping this is it. Do...

    Anyone ever dealt with Autoworks International?

    Have any of you guys ordered anything from Autoworks International. I saw that had a pretty hefty cooling setup for early Mustangs, and I ordered a nice one . . . in August. I've gotten nothing but the runaround ever since. Do you guys know anything about them or have ordered from them in...

    I've got pony interior, and I'm looking to update the seats (one of them is broken, anyway). What seats have you guys seen to fit this application? I've got the light blue and white pony, and I don't really want something that REALLY sticks out. I've heard lots of seats are too tall for...
