    17x9 wheels on 68

    I thought about buying 4 17x10.5 deep dish wheels. If my math is correct, with a 6.8" backspacing and having them narrowed to 8 inches would give me a new backspacing of 4.3, This is close to 4.5" of backspacing but is it close enough or will it stick out too far?

    17x9 wheels on 68

    I might just have to give up on running fr500's. I know there was a guy that had them but the front set were narrowed to 8 inches. Unless I could get a good deal on some, the cost of that would make it not worth it.

    17x9 wheels on 68

    Im wanting to run fr500 wheels on my 68 coupe, will a 17x9 fit in the front and if so what would I have to do to make them fit? Spacer size? Im not wanting to narrow anything or alter the suspension other than some 620# springs and shelby drop.

    Ticking noise

    Ill see if i can get my wife to give it some gas while I listen. The smell thing is out the window. The exhaust dumps in front of the axle so all I smell is exhaust and gasoline. Inside the car it sounds like its coming from the passenger side but then again most everything from the drivers seat...

    Ticking noise

    I am not entirely convinced that it is a timing issue. If it was timing wouldnt the tick happen all the time? It isn't a metal sounding noise, to me it sounds more like a pressure noise which made me think exhaust. If you guys say its timing then I guess I can give it a try. How will I know when...

    Turn Signal Problem

    Im not sure on the years but my mustang has a 2 element bulb on for tail lights the other is shared by the blinker and brakes. if they are the same its probably not going to be a bad bulb due to the fact that the chances all 4 went out at the same time. Do you hear the click when the blinkers...

    Ticking noise

    What would cause a ticking noise only on acceleration? I was thinking it might be an exhaust leak but wanted to ask for input. Its gradual with the motor so the higher the rpm the faster it ticks untill it becomes steady and is lost in the engine noise.

    Power steering belt

    Replaced the belt today and not only did the squeal stop but I can honestly say the car steers a lot better. Not saying that it drives great or even good but it is noticeably better and reduced the dead feel when driving down the road.

    Power steering belt

    The pulley layout goes from the power steering pump, over to the fan, down to the crank and back up to the power steering. The other belt goes from the alternator to the fan, down to the crank and back to the alt. There are no other pulleys or guides that the belt goes over or touches.

    Power steering squeal

    I was wondering if it might be too long. It is the same belt that was on the car when I bought it. I guess thats one bad thing about buying a used car. You dont know whats been done to it until you do it yourself. There seems to be room for the ps pump to slide out more, I guess prying with a...

    Power steering squeal

    When I rev the engine and sometimes upon startup the power steering belt squeals or slips. It also does this when I turn the steering wheel all the way in one direction. I tried to add more tension to the belt but that didnt seem to help and I dont think I got it any tighter than it was. Could...

    Signals

    Is it the front signals, back signals, or both? I just got done chasing a wire problem similar to yours but my back brake lights didnt work and everything else did. It ended up being the switch in the steering column. What year is your mustang? What your going to have to do is test the...
