    People tend to know better then yourself

    That is a very philosophic but understandable way to put it. I do remain polite most of the time. But they don't know that by lying or pretending to know better than someone who actually owns a Mustang, they put a wall between me and them never to be removed again. If they were curious, and...

    New carburetor Carter RBS for 250ci 6cyl.

    Its been a while since I went online to this forum. So I'll have you know I adjusted the float in the fuelbowl and now I can push the pedal to the metal without any hesitation. That is when he is warm enough. I will look into the petronics ignition module for sure. Thanks for the advice! Some...

    People tend to know better then yourself

    It's been a while since I've been here but I had to get this of my chest. I've been a proud 1972 Mustang Fastback 250ci 6cyl for about 3 years now. I live in Beernem Belgium Europe, so as it is my daily driver, I see a lot of jaw-dropping and pointing in the streets. I don't know how it is in...

    Some oddball '71-73 sheet metal - take a look

    I don't know if it's worth to cut up the entire radiator support. Maybe there is someone who really needs the entire piece? Anyhow, here are some pics of the rusted crossmember (I don't know if its the right word either). I thought about ordering an entire new radiator support but i guess that...

    New carburetor Carter RBS for 250ci 6cyl.

    I don't have the same issues, sorry if i wasn't too clear on that (Me being Belgian and all) :). The settings are the same. It works fine now except for the hesitation and powerloss under load. I will check vacuum issues for sure now. Thanks

    New carburetor Carter RBS for 250ci 6cyl.

    The fuel lines have been replaced 2 years ago. The fuel pump and filter have been replaced a few months ago when I thought that would fix that first problem I had with the first carburetor. I am not sure about the fuel tank if its ok or not. I have done a bit more tweeking this afternoon with...

    New carburetor Carter RBS for 250ci 6cyl.

    Hey, It's been a while since I've posted something. I had some issues with my carburetor on my 1972 250ci fastback. He really hesitated a lot when accelerating and almost no throttle response. It was a bit like driving an old tractor. I really had to balance the clutch to drive it somewhat...

    Two ladies in a Mach1

    I can believe you are a very proud father. My eldest kid who is 3 is also crazy about the Mustang. He gets overexcited when I tell him we will go for a ride. "Papa Moestang vroooom vroooom!" I hope I can pass him on the passion for cars and gasoline!

    custom publicity decals

    I've been running a small business for a while now, corporate identity, webdesign, communication, brand development,.... I made a vintage design for the hood of my Mustang because I wanted it to fit the Mustang and be representative for the era it was born in. Also I wanted it to be a friendly...

    wheels and tires

    Hey, those magnum wheels look very nice on your mustang. Are the front wheels and tires different than the back? I'm looking for the same look on mine. Mine has some modern wheels and it really doesn't look right at all. I've been thinking a 15x7 with 225/60/15 in front and 15x8 with 255/60/15...

    Faces to the screen names

    Man it is awesome to see original pictures of the owners with their new mustangs back in the days. Really shows the love they got for the mustang! This is me with my kids on my youngest first birthday. My mother in law had put them on the mustang because she tought it was cute. When I came...

    Recmmendations for replacement seat belts?

    Great! I ordered myself the same set-up today before i read this post. It comforts me as I didn't really want to replace the existing set-up, but one retractor belt was damaged beyond repair when I removed the interior. This set-up, i believe, still has that old feel to it.

    New Guy

    Hey welcome from Belgium. Mine is more like a 35 footer. After 2 years i found some poor repairwork but beautifully hidden. Now i give it the attention it needs and make repairs that last. I am dissapoited though the previous owner wasn't honest about it and didn't show me the points that needed...

    Hello from Bruges, Belgium

    Cool! I didn't know that! Never saw the original movie. I got some youtubing to do! Haha! Oh my god! My heart just stopped during that chase! Beautifull! Thanks for the information!

    Hello from Bruges, Belgium

    Thanks! This really gave me a good feeling. Inspiring pep-talk you did there! :) I actually have done a lot of research putting together a wish-list of improvements to the engine. Aluminum cylinder head with aftermarket intake manifold, exhaust headers, adjustable rocker arms, high performance...

    Hello from Bruges, Belgium

    Haha, indeed so! I divided instead of multiplied. Not quite good at solving equations. You should have seen my face when the lorry with concrete arrived for my build at home after I miscalculated that one. haha :-/ Thanks for the correction!

    Hello from Bruges, Belgium

    That is a huge advantage since its my daily driver. Fuel prices have gone up big time here. A V8 would be a hobby only. Prices are currently € 1.70 per liter, that's about $ 0.60 per gallon. (correct me if I'm wrong)
