    Tach No Longer Working

    My tach was working when I first started the restoration, but sometime since it has stopped. What would be the proper troubleshooting steps? Could it just be a fuse issue? Car isn't drivable at the moment (need tires) so I don't know if the speedometer is working or not.

    How's Everyone Doing?

    Been really busy lately, actually, mostly just been broke lately. The spring semester just started up and has me returned to a struggling college student status. Bought a pertronix ignitor for the Mach over a month ago and couldn't get it to fire after installing it. Just finally got the timing...

    Estimated HP?

    Seems like the most asked question about the car is "How much HP?". I never was good at estimating power unless it was with quad motors (they were my first love). So, I was wondering how much HP I would be looking at with my mods. • Unknown Cam • 10:1 Pistons • Holley 600CFM • Edelbrock...

    Door Hinges

    Got a used set of LH hinges since my bottom was bent. Put the new ones on today and tried to put the door back on but it was horrible off. Anyone have any tips on how to get the door line back up right again?

    Distributor and Ignition Info Thread

    Well, I was trying to keep from spending money on a new distributor but after trying to put new points in mine I think I'm ready to bite the bullet. I've got an old Accel dual point right now. Tried replacing the points on it but since it's been discontinued for over 25 years, parts are hard to...

    Power Steering Cooler

    Right now we're just bypassing it, dad doesn't know why he took it off. I think it's kinda cool, might catch someone's eye at a show or something. I haven't seen too many of them on cars. Just a few pictures of some stock motors online. Does it actually do anything? Never heard of power steering...

    Identifying Rear End Gears

    What is the easiest method for identifying the ratio of the gears in my rear end? My dad is almost positive the original owner put in after market gears and we were wondering what they were. I know from the vin decoder that it came from the factory with 3.50:1 gears.

    Recent Purchases Thread

    A couple other sites I post on have a thread like this, and they are pretty popular, so I figured I'd see how it would go here. Just post about the recent purchases you have made that are related to your Stang. Hell, if you want to tell us about a really good beer you recently bought, go for it...

    Engine Paint

    I was just wondering what the best paint would be to use on my block. I was looking through a writeup about a Pantera and the guy used Hirsch Engine Enamel on his block and tranny and it looked awesome. Went to the website and saw that they have Ford Mustang Blue in both quart and 16oz rattle...

    Opinions on Carbs

    My dad's friend has been racing dragsters since '95 and has been working on motors his entire life. My carb needed to be rebuilt and he offered to do it for me. When I was over at his house last night picking up the carb, he was talking about the 600 being too small for my motor and showed me a...
