    Borgeson Box install

    How stock is your mustangs steering (tie-rods, column, etc)? I came across Mustang Monthly's build with the same setup (How To Install Integral Power Steering Gear- Mustang Monthly) and in their write up he mentioned that this will not require major modifications. My question is, have you had to...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    Ok, I won a small victory tonight. I adjusted the valves which resulted in a much improved idle (though still having mystery problems). Upon adjusting them, while the car was running, I found that if I adjusted the nut ( 1/2 a turn after the rocker stopped making noise) the engine literally...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    My plan was to remove all 8 plugs and turn the pulley manually, what I said earlier was my backup plan since I dont want to remove the p/s bracket and water pump to turn the motor. I know the plugs look fine, I was just pointing it out. I figured that cylinder picked up a little more fuel during...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    The wires are three years old, not cracked or burnt. I checked the line for the transmission and it looked good, no cracks. I took a picture of two spark plugs (including the one I said was a little darker) and the dizzy cap. The wire that leads to the coil looks like its pretty worn, should I...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    When I pull the plugs there is oil on the threads, and I do notice a bit of oil consumption, but since I haven't been driving it much (before the symptoms) I can't tell exactly how much is being swallowed. So is there any other way to test that theory? Icky. Well I am probably going to order...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    I did change the PCV out last december, though the gasket that holds it in place is crap, I can pull the valve out like nothing. I will try and clean that part. Also, do I need to clean out the oil filler cap?

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    Sorry about sounding frustrated. Just figured I nagged people to death, as I have a tendency to do that. I do understand that electrical parts can suddenly give out and have no warning symptoms. Before I used sealant around the carb I did test it with a spray bottle with water/soap...no...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    *UPDATE* Still not working. I bought a gasoline/oil resistant sealant (same stuff I have been using for a while) and waited 48 hours since it has been about 50-75*. I pulled the plugs, they were slightly dark only because after switching to the autolite the secondary float is having issues and...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    *What is the best sealant that you guys use for the gaskets for the carb? I think my issue is a vacuum leak even though i did spray for it, but I will get a bottle and check again. Since the problem didn't rear its ugly head until I tried to swap the Carter with the Autolite. So.. after I...

    Brake problem

    Adjust the drums, one side seems to be tighter than the other. The tool looks like this http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/JBarca/TT%20Upgrades/DexterAxleUnderSlungBrakeAdjuster.jpg Just adjust the shoes until it has a slight drag and you should be good. As for the tracking, get your...

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    Pertonix is OK, its just I would rather have MSD or something that is a little more reliable.

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    update *update* The first multimeter was wierd. Yes I do know about touching the wires, though that one read 1.0. So got a diff multimeter and made sure it worked (which it does). Turns out that my ignitor module is fried. I tested it per pertronix instructions. It was suppose to read a...

    Leak under dash

    On my coupe the lower corners of the rear window (on top between the stripping and glass) leaked. When I sent her off to be painted the shop resealed the window and 1 year later it started leaking again :mad:.

    Pertronix Woes, is it 1.5 or 3 ohm?

    Ok I feel a little stupid. Turns out when I first looked at the coil I didn't see any identification, but the second time I wiped off the face and found "1.5" ohm on the top left of the sticker. I used my gf's fathers TPI 120 multimeter and tested the coil (off the car) which registered at .002...
