    LED Upgrade Woes

    First of all my apologies for the massive delay in my response. Life happened. Summary of events.  Ordered a different set of LED bulbs from NPD that had been recommended specifically for the Mustang application. No dice. So, options: cut the harness and rewire/frankenstein it into working...

    Gorgeous Color. Maybe I am a bit biased though...

    LED Upgrade Woes

    The Polarity for the running lamp circuit appears to be reversed. Unfortunately this is not correctable in the circuitry and is a failure of the bulb's design. Anyone used LED replacements for the front running lamps / blinkers? I'm looking for good suggestions before I just give up... Edit: I...

    LED Upgrade Woes

    Okay, let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up... HiPo Elite LED kit for the cluster, running markers and brakes, reverse, blinkers and front running lamps. Front running lights don't work. Everything is working now EXCEPT: my front running lights do not work. Running lights =...

    Pre-Heat System

    Thanks again Chuck. Looking back over my old posts Don I found that the source goodnigh had located was the Ebay posts I found quite awhile ago. Never sat well with the price they wanted for something that is quite small. I will continue my search. Imagine that, starting where I had left off...

    Pre-Heat System

    Thanks Chuck for your reply. I have realized that the name for this item is different in every book and diagram I have found. To be realistic, is this part necessary? I mean, with proper choke settings my car runs ok even on cold mornings. I feel like this could be an improvement to the warm-up...

    Pre-Heat System

    No, for awhile I thought that was the part they used. This is a bi-metallic switch that goes inside the air cleaner. It has one side from vacuum and the other to the vacuum motor on the snorkel switching the air from outside to the hot air tube the connects to the exhaust manifold.

    Pre-Heat System

    Alrighty. Im trying to piece together where to get parts for my pre-heat system. I have found plenty of sources for the pre-heat tube (hot air tube from the exhaust manifold to snorkel). Having issues finding the correct name for the thermal vacuum switch that activates the vacuum motor on the...

    Ignition issues

    Actually the first place I went, and it was clean as could be. I have been on that thing like a hawk since the last debacle.

    Flight Solo Complete

    Piper Cherokee. Easy enough plane to learn on. I had plenty of fun.

    Flight Solo Complete

    Well, unrelated to mustangs, other than I am glad my car decided to cooperate and get me to my flight this morning, I just completed my first solo flight.

    Ignition issues

    Alrighty, update: Got some of the STP stuff in the orange bottle and added that to the tank. Also got under the hood and rechecked every connection I could find to make sure they were well seated. The problem did not occur again today in over 2 hours of total driving. If it does resurface, I...

    Ignition issues

    You know, it could possibly be bad gas. I can pick up an additive. The tach is an aftermarket that is strapped to my steering column. (No stock tach, dummy lights [for now]). I dont have a stock coil but the auto hobby shop likely has an extra lying around that I could at least use for fault...

    Ignition issues

    Alrighty, The issue started this morning. Intermittent. Runs very rough. I watch the tach drop in and out. At first I thought higher RPMs were solving it but thats not it because it gets bad at higher RPMs as well. Fuel and Air aren't the issue. All my wires are on tight. This problem hadn't...

    Window Drip Rail Quick Fix?

    Yes, I just need something to stop the damage before the car actually makes it to the body shop. And a garage isn't a likely option at this juncture. So, just researching the options. I suppose I will just wait and cringe
