Three men die on Christmas Eve and are met by St. Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy day," St. Peter says, "to get into heaven you must each posses something that symbolizes Christmas." The first man pulls a lighter out of his pocket and flicks it on. "This flame represents a...

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...

A long time ago, a friend with a muscle car and little money made his own anti theft device. He took both ends off an old coil wire and used a black piece of vacuum line as the "new coil wire". Reinstalled both old ends to create a fake hollow coil wire. Looked real but a car would never start...

Want to buy a factory radio support bracket for a standard Ford AM radio used in a 1966 Mustang that mounts to rear of radio.

The piston itself could be rusted and possibly sticking. Suggest removing the sticking caliper then opening the bleeder screw and then connect an air line to blow the piston out of the caliper. If rusted, use emery paper or scotch pad to clean up piston, then recoat with a light coating of...

Thanks for the info. Replaced just about everything there is in the cooling system. Went with a 160 deg thermostat. Now reading is about mid point on gage. I also know that ford gages are not always accurate. One puzzling item, after running (idling) car up to temp and then shutting it...

Deci decided to go with a 160 deg thermostat. Installed it and temp now is approx middle of gage but will creep up if I let it idle for a while.

Using a ford 6 blade fan that sits half in half out of shroud. No AC. No trans cooler, auto transmission lines are connected to bottom of radiator.

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.

Forgot to mention timing set to spec and a new temp sensor & radiator cap.

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...

Nice. Reminds us of what is truly important in life!

OK guys, considering converting the front drum brakes on my '66 Mustang to disc. Yeah I know this a 71-73 site, but I also know some of you converted your 71-73 cars over as well. Looking for info on the kits out there today. Which ones are the best.? How did the installation go? Did you do...

April 5th (Friday) through April 7th (Sunday)

Is any one going to the 60th anniversary in Birmingham in April? Taking a car?

Did manager to remove the rusted tube. Drove a awl between the o.d. of the tube and the engine block. The tube was so rusted that the top half sticking out of the block came off but the bottom half still stuck in the block. Used a small cold chisel to break the tube wall then took needle nose...

Secluff, Thank you for the info. One question, after you get the old tube out, do you put any sealant on the new one before you insert back into the block?

How did you remove the old one?

It's pressed in. How do remove the old one?

Positive. With the hose removed, the nipple continues tonleak.
