    Aod Swap - Speedometer Cable

    Before going all spendy, might want to check the stock C4 speedo cable/bracket/gear. I swapped to an AOD from a C4 and the stock cable plugged right in. Later I went to an Autometer Ultralight gauge setup and the stock cable screwed right on the speedo. Later I swapped to a T5 and it still...

    Buying a Mustang in Iraq

    I bought an F150 through overseas sales while I was stationed in Okinawa and picked up in SC. The process was just as you described, and worked well enough. I ended up out the door (total price, taxes/fees/etc) ~$4500 under sticker on the truck, granted I was just 22-23 at the time and didn't...

    The "Mustang II" IFS Real Info & Debate Thread

    One of the major initial issues with the MII kits was not the suspension to frame interface, but the rear mount of the lower control arm. The first kits I ever saw didn't have the triangular gusset in the above picture, and several suffered failures of the rear control arm mounting. I recall one...

    Aftermarket shifter buzz?

    I've got a B&M shifter and found the squeak. Turns out the body end of the shifter moves slightly with engine/tranny movement. This causes the stainless body of the shifter to squeak against the washers installed between the shifter body and the retaining nuts. B&M supplied brass washers...

    EFI help needed - coolant lines

    I used a 5/8 to 3/4 adapter fitting on the lower heater core fitting to match it to the 3/4 end of the heater pipes on the EFI setup. I did have to remove the heater assy and mount it as close as possible to the heater core, which means it is mostly on the interior side of the firewall. It would...

    GTE-650 project

    Just fyi for those listening, the MP chassis kit also includes plates that install along the inside of the rockers on both sides which I think are 1/4 or 3/16 plate. It of course would be better if they were one piece all the way back.

    Export brace and EFI

    Here's the MPG one, I had added reinforcement top and bottom to the cowl mounting area and it still flexes. The normal monte carlo bar may or may not fit. Mine fit with a little modification, like cutting the ends off and positioning it so it cleared the oil fill.

    65 Coupe, slightly modifed

    Probably belongs in Tech, but since it has a non-HO cam it is using the early firing order. Makes not a bit of difference to the efi it seems like.

    Bad time to sell?

    Is it a bad time to try and sell a mustang or something? I've had mine up for sale for a couple weeks now and not even a nibble. 6 months ago I had people stopping by the house almost on a weekly basis wanting to buy it...go figure. Oh, and the reason for selling?

    EFI throttle for 65

    I found that NPD did not have the bracket, and had no idea when or if they would get more. I ended up fabbing my own bracket similar to the W-F one.
