    71 Mach shut down

    Very simplictly, these cars need two things to run; spark and gas. You can look down your carb after you remove the air cleaner and pump your accelerator linkage and you should see two small streams of gas squirt. If there, now you can focus on electrical. Pop your distributor cap and trip your...

    Steering Wheel Club

Reinstalled both old ends to create a fake hollow coil wire. Looked real but a car would never start...

    Overheating issue

    Able to see water flowing after thermostat opened. Have the correct water pump installed. Will be installing a new instrument voltage reg on back of instrument cluster and a different temp gage to see if it changes readings.

    Overheating issue

    OK guys, let me pick your brains. My 66 289 is running hot, after idling awhile, gage goes around the "P" on the "temp" letting on gage. Spits a small puddle when shut off. The engine was rebuilt (.030" over) in the 90's but just got it running. When it was rebuilt a new water pump was put...
