I need to know the length of the trans dipstick from a C4 in a 1965 C-code mustang. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find a solid answer. The one I have is clearly wrong because the bottom of the stick has been hacked off. Length seems about right, but there is no "full" mark. So...

Just sharing an easy fix. My 2005 GT went into failsafe mode yesterday. Searched for possible causes on line first, and everything points to the TPS or throttle body. Turns out it was a bad battery. That was the short answer. Here is the longer story. It's a 2005 GT with an Edelbrock...

Hey all, I had a 1970 Mustang fall into my lap recently. Long story short, got it from an old friend. This is a California car with almost no rust, and my friend had to get rid of it quick because he is moving to the east coast. He bought it back in 1986, and we assume it was from the original...

Is the check valve inside the pump... or in line? I don't have it in front of me now, but I seem to remember something in one of the corrugated tubes that I assume was a check valve. If that is the case... I kept my original pump. I wonder if I could swap it out...

So I tried cycling like you suggested... and that seemed to work. So that narrows down my problem...

My 2005 GT is giving me some trouble. When I try to start it, it has to crank over for 3-4 seconds before it fires. And sometimes it just barely starts, then sorta bogs and stumbles for a couple of seconds before it evens out. It used to fire really quickly. The strange thing is that once I...

I've got a SCT X3 tuner with 3 tunes and the JLT cold air intake for a 2005 GT. I pulled it all off because I upgraded to a supercharger. This was a fantastic upgrade and added decent power on a budget. I'm asking $200. Make me an offer. I'd rather sell it locally (SoCal) so I don't have to...

I've got a 1965 with a 302 from a 93 Fox Body. This is a project, and I don't have the a/c compressor mounted yet, I need a temporary compressor just as a place holder until I actually install the a/c system. I'm planning on a Vintage Air system, but I don't want to pay for a new compressor...

I'm currently selling my 1998 Harley FXSTC so I can buy a project car. So, if anyone is interested I'll trade it for a Mustang... I'll either trade straight up for a 65-70 Mustang of similar value, or I'll trade for a junky project + cash... Actually I prefer a junky project + cash... Anyway...

Thanks for the responses. The Mustang is my daily commuter car, so I'm not going to spend extra $$$ for Koni's. I've got other toys to spend "fun" money on, so I'll probably buy some KYBs (for 1/2 the price of the Koni's).

I'm getting ready to do a bunch of maintenance on my 05 GT because I'll be hitting the 100K mark any day now. One of the things on the list is new shocks & struts, but I'm not sure if I need them. I don't see any obvious leaks, and they don't have any extra bounce. The driving has been mostly...

There were known problems with the head units several years ago. I have the Skipper 1000 in my 2005 GT, and I went through 3 (or was it 4) head units back in 2005 before I got one that didn't skip. It had trouble with store bought CDs, burnt CDs, and anything else I put in it. One of them...

I already tried the window switch trick to relearn the limits, and that didn't help. Back in 2006 I noticed the passenger floor was wet after a rain so I took it in. They fixed that leak, and the floor hasn't gotten wet since... I don't know where the leak was, but it should be fixed. Where...

Actually, I don't think I was clear... I think I mis-stated when I called it the auto-drop... The problem isn't the feature that lets you roll the window down with a touch of the button. It's the little 1/2" drop that happens when you open the door. The window works fine with the switch, and...

I'm having some trouble with the auto-drop feature on my 2005 GT. A while back we got some rain here in SoCal, and it caused the auto-drop on the passenger side to freak out. When I would open the door, after about 20 seconds, it would go up, then down, then up, then down, and eventually end...

I get a squeek from my drivers mirror when I close the door. I'm pretty sure it's the mirror and not the trim. Rick

I'm going to assume you just want to see what my last daily driver was, and not EVERY car I've ever owned... 1965 Nova SS. 383 Stroker normally aspirated with all the regular go fast parts. 700R4 trans. Best time of 12.80 at 114mph (I think that was the mph, and at LACR 4000 ft above sea...

Sounds like you may be over-oiling your air filter... I make it a point to remove my CAI and spray throttle body cleaner around the butterflies every time I change my oil or clean my filter. If you don't, you may get a build up around the butterflies. This happened to me a couple years ago...

I seem to remember reading a similar story here (I think it was this forum) where some guy left his car at the dealership over night, and ended up getting a call from the cops (I think) because they busted one of the service techs doing like 100 mph at 2am. I don't know what the outcome was in...

I thought the same thing with my 05 GT. I bought it in early 2005, and I knew it was a completely new car, so I was afraid all the bugs weren't out. So I eventually bought the extended warranty (which is getting close to running out) but I haven't really needed it for much. Just the usual -...
