I drove my mustang with a 315w with 87 octane no problem. I went to a gas station that did not 87 available so I put half a tank of 91 in. Ever since then, the 351W will not idle and die after a minute of idle. Not sure what to do. I didn't think there would be much of a difference between 87 and 91. Any thoughts?

I also found a nut, bolt, and washer on my floor under the steering column. Not sure where it came from

The exhaust does smell rich and sweet

Does anyone know what I need to buy to be able to install the Legendary LW20 17x8 (rear) and 17x7 (front) wheels? I've ordered the wheels but am not sure what lugs I need or if there is anything else I need.

Edit: This is for a '65 convertible.

Does anyone know anything about T5 transmissions? I have one in my ‘66, it won’t stay in gear is 1st, 3rd and 5th. The gearshift literally falls into neutral unless you are on the gas. 2nd and 4th are fine.

I have a 1965 coupe 289, wondering if anybody had a list of all the rubber components on the front end/ or throughout the car. I’ve seen the kits from various manufactures, but they always seem to be missing this or that and doesn’t have a complete replacement kit.

I'm thinking about doing the Shelby drop on my 1973 convertible and was wondering if there is any body bashing that need to be done to accommodate the stock upper control arm. It looks like there are some indentations in the inner fender for the control arm to fit into that don't appear to run low enough if I move the control arm down. Will this work without bashing or is there another modification that needs to be done besides drilling the new holes?

I'm having a reverse light issue which brought me to my fuse box. It turns out the 14A Accy fuse was not in the box so naturally I bought one and put it in. My issue is, now that I have installed this fuse the car starts when I turn the key to the ON position but when I remove the fuse it does not have that issue. I need that fuse in so I can have my reverse lights working but I can't have the car turn over when its just in the on position.

Anyone know what wire might be the problem?

Thanks

I'm trying to find all the wiring gauges for the 1966 Mustang V8. Does anyone know where I could find this information.

Thanks.

looking to put a 3.2L ecoboost engine in my 1978 but im not sure if a long block will fit or not, also what type of transmission would i need to be looking for if i found an engine? im currently looking at a 2.3 engine from a 2016 mustang. not looking to hear snide or rude comments about the engine im putting in the car. just advice, thanks.

update: another option im considering is a 5.0 2014 mustang coyote engine with a 6R80 transmission. Thoughts?

I want to convert my factory manual drums & single bowl M/C to front manual disks and dual bowl. I’ve narrowed down to kits from SSBC (A120D for $1185), Leed ($1,000) and CSRP (SWAP1.3/M) for $700. They are all more or less the same with a couple of minor differences. Anybody have experience with the quality of the materials of these kits or customrer service of the companies? Thanks.

Hi all,

Firstly thank you! Due to your advice I have contact the owner and we have provisionally agreed on $17,400 it’s a restored 1964.5 that was brought over from the states and restored over a number of years. They were honest about the condition of the interior and paint work and said it’s presentable but to get it up to spec it needs work. Factoring in a reasonable premium for a US car in the UK I think it’s a good buy.

Would love any final thoughts before I go to see it.

I have a 1966 fastback w/ 351w under the hood. I already had a mechanic rebuild the 351w and the 3spd transmission but he was far away and took him almost a year.

The mustang still needs a lot of work:

1. the blinkers don't blink, they just light up the center bulb on both sides of the rear and do nothing on the front (however the hazards blink no problem)

2. the horn does not work. There is a horn under the hood but I think it's a combination of not being wired up and a bad steering wheel. The the middle of the wheel doesn't push in at all.

3. the windshield wipers do not work

4. oil temp gauge on the dash doesn't work. There is what seems like an aftermarket gauge pod under the radio with a temp gauge that is always reading 291F even with the car off and cold. The oil pressure on that same pod works fine

Edit forgot to add: 5) fog lights don't work but headlights do

Then eventually my non-safety items that I hope to have done:

1. power steering

2. power disc brakes

3. air conditioning because it gets VERY hot here in Houston
