    1969 mustang won't start, and backfires

    The distributor was a tooth off, and my Pertronix magnetic pickup went bad. Problem should be fixed once I get the new one in.

    1969 mustang won't start, and backfires

    It could be an issue of timing or a bad ground. The problem occurred when I was replacing the ignition system. I ensured the engine was at top dead center, removed the distributor, coil, wires, and plugs, and installed a new distributor, coil, plugs, and wires. I know for a fact all of the new...

    Head Swap! 289->351w

    The heads were ported and polished by Andy Granatelli, and I already own them. They're a lot nicer than you think.

    Stock times for the ponies?

    I was looking around the other day for what the quarter mile times were for classic mustangs, completely stock. Of course I found the times for the Mach 1's, and the Boss 302/429s, but no plain old coupes! Does anybody remember what the classic mustangs ran with a factory set up on the coupes?

    1969 Mustang Starter Solenoid Wiring

    So on the starter solenoid, there are two copper posts for the positives, one leading from the battery, and one to the starter. There are also two smaller posts, one labeled S, the other labeled I. Could somebody please trace the two wires from those posts and tell me where they lead, and...

    1969 mustang, no power at the key

    I still haven't figured out the problem with mine. The grounds are perfectly fine, it'll turn over when I bridge the solenoid, but I still don't have spark to the ignition coil. Everything is wired correctly, to my knowledge. Everything leads me to believe the car SHOULD start. I'm still...

    1969 mustang, no power at the key

    I have a 1969 mustang 302 with a full MSD electronic ignition. It all began when I started to wire in a tach. I cut no wires, spliced no wires, merely attached a few here and there. I didn't have time to finish the job, so I decided to undo it and start from scratch later on when I was sure I'd...

    Where is my redline?

    I have a 1969 Mustang coupe, stock 302 with a new cam in it, and my timing is about 12 degrees advanced at the moment. I don't have a tach in my car (it's a c4 trans, so it's not like I NEED one, but I like to shift it when I'm doing anything other than cruising). I'm just trying to figure out...
