Oh OK. I had to send my first one back, but then they sent me one that fit perfectly.

Do you not like the aluminum insert kits available? Mine turned out really nice. Look better than new.

Check some stupid things like the coil or coil connector. Mine did some strange intermittent stuff and it ended up being the connector on the coil. Tap it lightly when the car is running and see if it makes a difference. Just a thought!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned how poorly the ad was written.

Nice!

I have a 78 KC. What parts do you have? That wheel is great. Too bad you don't have 4. Mine need some work, but are not terrible. :)

Looks like you are making good progress. I have a '78 King Cobra that I am working on....slowly. :) I had a couple of these IIs over the years. They are very specific. Even back in the 80's you couldn't find much for them. Quite a few enthusiasts out there now, willing to help.

You've got that engine apart enough. You could always get a plastigauge kit and check clearance on the rod and crank bearings too. Check end-play on the crank also. Looks clean though. If you get II headers (which are available new) you might have clearance issues due to the bigger bell...

Lookin' good.

Wow. Would be interesting to see a higher res pic of it on the rotisserie! Thanks for sharing.

Rust sucks. What was it?

Facebook groups seems to be the thing for the II's. MustangIILovers is one of them. They get quite a bit of action and I have already received and shared info that way. Also bought parts. I prefer forums, but, this seems to work for most.

I accidentally spotted this and thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth. I wouldn't worry too much about tuning your own car NA. I learned on my own using an EEC-Tuner on a '95 model. I had a Kenne Bell supercharger, Edelbrock Performer heads, 36# injectors and an aftermarket MAF. I didn't...

Haven't been on the forum in a long time, but am now a II owner.

Anyone else see the white KC listed in NM last week? $3500. Looked very clean. It is now marked for removal. I sent him a couple of texts and he never responded. Probably just selling my phone number now. :) Too good to be true, I guess. It was a 4 spd ttop car.

I was thinking the same. Been watching the CLs around the south. Glad you shared that first post. I thought I was going crazy.

Interesting as this sounds exactly the opposite of what the manual says and everything I have heard over the years. They say to continually change speeds to help seat the rings. I made sure to constantly change the throttle input and speed for the first 500 getting more aggresive with it as...

Another one suckered into an old dead thread. The guy probably went out and bought a Honda Civic.

You are fine. A LOT of guys have posted the same findings on their '06s and I am one of them. When I put the 6 quarts in, it is in the middle of the hatch marks, just like it was when I first checked my oil. Don't overfill it. I did my first change at 800 miles, the second at about 2000...

You really want that orange peel to stand out? Use Zaino. It is the best polish I have ever used, but it will really show orange peel! You can get some waxes and polishes that hide it a little more. Meguiars carnuba helps. I decided to try the Meguiars NXT wax this year. It is in-between a...
