    69 Transmission swap FMX 3 Speed to T5

    I take it your doing exactly what I want to do? What's up with the bell-housing kits, do they come with everything you need? Also, will I need to change the brake peddle? Can you recommend a good company to buy most or all of this?

    69 Transmission swap FMX 3 Speed to T5

    Hey guys, I just got back from Military service 04 to 05. I'm ready to swap my trusty FMX 3 speed automatic for a T5 manual. I know there are kits out there, what I need to know is all the little things that aren't in the kits and what to watch out for in the process. I would like to use a...

    To be honest with you I have no idea if everything was changed I just know thar he kept my original distributor and gave me a rebuilt one that was suppose to be better than original. The shafts are all 1969 so I didn't think it was anything to worry about. His claim to fame is that he's some...

    I'm printing this all out so I can try it in the spring. Does this mean that I should keep the ford intake and 4300 or would I benefit from a Holley setup?

    surge in carb

    No I didn't disable the vac. advance ( it's probably the one thing I didn't do) I can't do anything right no cause it's up on jack stands. It's possible that your right but the distributor has everything new in it, including the springs. It will be one of the first things I do this spring, just...

    surge in carb

    Thanks for the reply(nice car) The surge is just enough to feel it in your but and only at steady speeds, like if your trying to cruise at 40mph behind a line of traffic or some residential area. If you excellerate it will go away. It might even be something that I should just live with, but it...

    surge in carb

    Thanks for the reply. The distributor is new throughout( a guy in Oregon, Distributor Dynamics I think, went all through it) The surge was the same before and after the rebuild. Pony Carburators is convinced it's a timing advance problem. I spent hrs. riding around with alittle wrench, advancing...

    I adjusted the screws to no end. Before I bought the new 4300, the old one was really rich( thats just where it ran the best) The surge has been constant throughout. That's why I'm leaning towards a new intake because that's the only thing I haven't changed( but what do I know?) I was hoping...

    I heard the trick to finding a vaccum leak is to let the engine idle an spray carb cleaner around the intake area and see if the engine rpm's go up. I tried this and there doesn't seem to be any leaks.

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the net, but not to the mustang. I 've had my Mach1 for 7 years. It's got an original 69' intake and autolite 4300 4v with a FMX 3-speed tranny. The problem is it surges when your trying to cruise at a steady speed. I had the Distributor rebuilt with an ignighter ignition...
