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...

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...

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 =...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

I will research my options then. I just don't want to tear it all apart only to worsen the problem since I don't plan on making a permanent fix right now.

Hey all, Long time no post. Flight school keeps me hopping. That said I have most of a Saturday to myself before I am back in the plane tomorrow. I have a problem. My drip rails leak like Niagra Falls. I read that wonderful write up on the full repair but since I am putting the car in the body...

Well, with all I have learned in the last few weeks here is what I know. First, I feel extremely stupid and more than slightly embarrassed. The cause of all my woes was a fuel filter. It must have only been coincidence that when I put fuel in the tank it gave the crap in the filter time to...

The funny part is, in an attempt to get it as full as possible, I fill the fuel up until I can see the gas in the filler pipe (and then I let it go down lol). But it seems odd that there is 5 gallons I can't use. I bought a replacement tank from CJ Pony parts awhile ago and it is listed as a...

So tonight I managed to legitimately run out of fuel. Hasn't ever happened to me before. Got her filled up and she started like a snap. Curious thing though. What is the capacity of the original tank? I barely got 15.5 gallons in before I was topped off. But I could swear that I had seen that it...
