Hello everyone.

I'm in the process of restoring my 65 mustang coupe I6. I'd love to hear from folks that have experience with this process. What were some items that you initially considered as "would be nice to have" but have become necessary items in your car? I'm thinking of things that you maybe stretched the budget for during the restoration, but if your were to do it again, would be included pretty much no matter what given the benefits/enjoyment you're seeing from it.

Hey guys I have a 66 mustang with a autolite 1100 on it I just got it rebuilt but I'm now having an issue where it will only run under acceleration.

1. I bought the carb 2nd hand and got it rebuilt but car previously ran with a Chinese autolite I just couldn't get it to idle under 950rpm

2. The new rebuilt carb will idle fine if I'm constantly spraying starter fluid down it

3. Fuel is definitely getting to the carb

Any ideas ? Thinking might possibly be a misadjusted float?

Went away for a couple years to do service. Finally wanted to fix up some parts of the car.

Just dropped in my tank, and started assembling my fuel pump/sending unit. My question is... Where the hell do you run the feed and return lines? Through the trunk pan?

I've also gotta install a regular, filter and shut off, but I'm sure I can make room somewhere under there, having a four-link really doesn't give me much room!

Bought brand new July of 1970. Wish I still had it.

I am looking for a General Manager for a Muscle Car company in Eastern, Pennsylvania. Do you know anyone that might be interested since you are really plugged into this scene? This is an amazing opportunity with stellar benefits, solid pay, and a great team in place.

Happy to discuss all the details. We also provide relocation assistance if you are looking for a change of scenery.

Im working on getting a project car should i spend more for a decent v8 car or get a I6 for the same price but nicer over all. The plan is to have a v8 either way so i guess has anyone done a I6 to v8 swap and if so how much work is it?

It might be time to replace the stereo in my 65 coupe. My only requirements are: look original, FM, and Bluetooth.

Currently, there's a restomod in there that came with the car. It's never worked since I got the car (simply won't come on), and I've had higher priorities until now. So tomorrow, I plan to yank it out and double check all the wiring.

If it's actually dead, what's a good replacement?

I'm from Canada, and I was wondering, has anyone bought the 1967 quarter pannel skin w/ louver brackets?

I know Dynacorn has the best fit for full quarter pannels, but I am looking for just the skin, what is the best fit you've found? Tya

She's the original '65 200ci inline 6. Large log head milled to fit a 2bbl Holley. Converted to 2300 Sniper EFI with electronic ignition. 6-2-1 header into a 2.5" exhaust. I've started her in sub freezing temps and she's torquey like a tractor.

I currently have this on my convertible 1967 mustang and i have to constantly raise my car from the rear because it gets too low what rear shocks could i use so my car stays at the same height all the time

I have a 351W. Am I supposed to keep that overflow reservoir empty or full of coolant?

Hi everyone,

I have a 1968 Mustang 302 coupe, and I'm dealing with an issue that I hope you all can help me troubleshoot. Recently, I had an aluminum radiator with an electric fan installed, and we also replaced the alternator.

The car runs fine while in motion, but when I'm stopped at a red light or sitting in traffic (and the fan is running), the engine starts idling very rough and eventually stalls.

I'm not very mechanically inclined but am working with a mechanic here in Los Angeles to figure this out. I’m wondering if the new electric fan setup is drawing too much power or if there’s another issue at play.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a ‘67 Mustang that originally had a straight 6 but now has a 289 from a ‘65. I did all the body work, welding, and getting the engine running better with 145 compression on all cylinders (+/- 5). Only mods are true duel exhaust (H pipe, stock headers), 4 barrel carb 600, got rid of points for electronic ignition, hipo intake manifold.

I’m sure there are thousands of posts and forums about increasing power in these SBFs. I read through dozens of them already. I’m just a bit confused because I heard the early 289s aren’t as mod friendly with less aftermarket head options.

I really, really want to be in the 300-350hp range at the flywheel and not sacrifice reliability. I have a moderately fresh built c4 with a shift kit that I think can handle that range. Any tips to hit that number? Or links to other forums? Again, apologies that this is probably the millionth time someone asked a similar question.

Currently, I’m building a V8.

However, it’s taking longer than anticipated, and I really miss my Mustang (and that morbidly worn out 7.25 rear end I threw out).

However, as I somewhat understand, I allegedly could go with a 9 inch rear end with gears as close to the ratio of the ones I had before, in this case being, I had 3.30 gears but if I use a 3.25 gear set for the 9” rear end, is that feasible for driving with a bone stock straight six and 3 speed manual?

Especially since this is intended to be just a temporary placeholder setup until I can get the V8 and my T5 built, while still being able to drive this thing (just for daily use, not racing.) Plus I reckon doing this ought to save me some extra time when engine surgery day comes up.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

What carbs are you guys running on your 289/302s? I am not sure on if I have a 289 or 302 since I got conflicting info from 2 previous owners and I haven't had the engine apart to know.

Car has a 9in rear end and is set up for a 4bbl.

Has a not great running edelbrock right now.

Looking at Holley 600 cfms currently.

I used to race circle track cars and we always bought Holleys for our SBCs.

Hello everyone. My Google skills are failing so I need an assist. Does anyone know what this hole is on both the driver and passenger fenders is or intended for?

When I stripped down my fender it was filled in with putty. Then I also see the same hole comes predrilled on reproduction fenders. I'm planning to fill it back in but genuinely curious why it's there.

Thanks!

Hi looking for some recommendations on tachometer for my 67. Posted is a picture of my current tach that I had since I got her running 4 years ago but now that I've finished restoring her I want to get a tach that feels more 60s and would look good next to the stock guages in the same spot. This one caught my eye https://a.co/d/9aM6bcS but im wondering if you guys had better recommendations

Looking for headers that fit with little to no mods on a 1967 Mustang, 289, stock power steering, C4. Any recs?
