    Dash: replacing old lamps with LEDs

    Hmmm. I’m not an expert, but I thought the IVR put out around 6 volts (12 volts in, ~6 out) The stock ones ...opened and closed (on and off), so averaged around 6 volts, I thought the new solid state IVR put out a solid stream of around 6 volts. seems strange to me what you are...

    guage cluster

    For what it’s worth, on the polarity issue, I have a printout that I received from Bill at HiPo Parts, when I ordered my Elite Series II led dash lights that show the correct polarity for the bulbs on the printed circuit (for both tach and non tach clusters).  Unfortunately it is copyrighted, so...

    C6 conversion to Toploader 4 speed

    Interesting, I have previously ordered kyb kg4504’s from my local mustang shop.   They recommended them for my stock spring setup.  I don’t expect to pick them up until my new front rotors arrive (at least for a few months, but likely in the Spring of next year.  I hope the fit! cheers

    How to find the right muffler?

    For what it is worth, I went with these.... nice rumble, not too loud at higher speeds, but does make some noise on the rare occasion when I punch it ( but I also have a coupe)

    1972 convertible wiring diagram ?

    I bought my wiring diagram from my local mustang shop. this doesn’t show the where to route...but it shows the circuits, colours of wires etc I would try Jim Osborne reproductions if you want a hard copy . you can get electronic versions as well...but can’t remember who sells it. There is a...

    Can anyone tell me the best place to install

    Don, as always is bang on above For what it worth try this out As I am a visual guy, A YouTube video that I watched really helped me understand “pulsing” power better.  It’s by a mustang restoration guy who has lots of “mustang how to” videos.  Although it is on an older mustang, the concepts...

    Can anyone tell me the best place to install

    As an option to a fuse issue, your light bulbs might be burnt out( I had a number of dash bulbs burnt out) I don’t believe new aftermarket gauges require the pulsing power (effectively ~5-6 volt) that runs through the voltage regulator attached to your speedometer cluster, so you just need to...

    Supply chain issues?

    Anyone experiencing supply chain issues in finding parts? I went in to buy new front disk brake set up (rotors, pads, and shocks) this afternoon. For what I use of the car (pleasure drives) I don’t need high end wildwoods, so I was looking for quality stock equivalent parts. Premium pads and...

    how to drill holes to install a new(to me) OEM long console?

    To be honest, I haven’t needed to do it since I already had the screw holes already on my car....hopefully someone else could chime in....but finding those darn holes through the carpet was an exercise in frustration ( maybe it’s just me) in theory it would work, but I would want to add a...

    how to drill holes to install a new(to me) OEM long console?

    Some additional photos that may help with your hole locations (for my coupe) without consul or carpet in...if you want more let me know....as I have a bunch of diff angles.  Although in some Picts the hole locations are kinda hard to see.  I carved out the screw holes when I installed the sound...

    how to drill holes to install a new(to me) OEM long console?

    Not exactly what you are looking for, but should give you some positioning help/guidelines. These pictures are PRIOR to consul removal (on a factory consul car) when I replaced the carpet. I had an extremely hard time refinding (more hours than I am willing to admit on this forum) the existing...

    Minor leak with new lines-need input.

    For what it is worth, I heard a rumour a couple of weeks ago from my local mustang shop, that Scott Drake was bought by another company in the recent past.  Also that Wheel Vintiques (who I understand was having all kinds of quality control issues on their magnum 500’s ) also changed ownership...

    Leaking freeze plug?

    Update: Put the stang up on a buddies lift today to check on the leak (as identified by the tire shop last week at the back of the motor). We had to look real hard to see anything as far as a leak, however eventually we saw a couple of drips at the back of the motor where the bell housing was...

    Leaking freeze plug?

    I seem to be loosing some coolant.  I still need to crawl under the car for a closer look, to confirm.  I have a drip from what appears to be the rear of the engine.  It doesn’t appear to be coming from the side of the block. I suspect that the culprit is one or more of the frost plugs at the...

    Did I make a bad choice?

    I am no expert but 245 seems too wide for the fronts... For what it’s worth a buddy had 235/14’s on the front of his 67 mustang and they rubbed around corners...but I guess it really depends on your rims spacing and offset. Interestingly enough, I took my car out to a local show this weekend...

    The Rickster - a 73 Mach 1 work in progress

    Your project is coming along nicely! I am watching with great interest. It seems like nothing always goes according to plan (ie paint)...it’s just more time and money, but it will be well worth it in the end. I have a question on your April 30, 2021 post with respect to the dual sending units...
