    Fuel gauge went out?

    Thanks all, turned out to be a wire I hooked up for my voltmeter was tapped off the accessory wire from the ignition to the cluster. I hooked it a week or so ago.. oops, didn't notice it was drawing all the power off of the circuit. Cut the wire, and bang! Gas gauge working again.

    Fuel gauge went out?

    I forgot to mention that I tested for power at the plug with the ignition on and it didn't show any power there. Interesting about the float, I'll check that. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Fuel gauge went out?

    I went for a drive the other day and saw that my gauge was as empty as I've ever seen it. Naturally, I figured I was just out of gas (as usual) and went to fill it up. After doing so I realized that the gauge hadn't moved at all so I went ahead with some tests. I checked the connection at the...

    Help! Engine still wont start!

    Plus 1 to 4v. Procomp is priced so low it's hard to resist. But it is crap. Dizzy could be shorting to ground. Have you tried your old coil again? K

    offy 360

    I had one , never ran it. It was big as a barn inside, but all my research results were similar. Too big, no bottom at all, and was regarded as the bottom pick of the the many options for the Cleveland. Sold it for 100$ on eBay. Kole

    Name that Sound - engine noise?

    A collapsed lifter makes a heck of a racket. The long screwdriver to ear really helps isolate that kind of stuff. Good luck K

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Thanks Paul, most of the stuff i bought on ebay is for sale all the time for double or triple. I found if i just checked every couple days, it only took a few weeks for those kind of prices to show up. I have seen pedals, crossmembers, and z bars all sell for the same as I paid in the last...

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Well guys, I worked a few links out of the trans linkage, fabbed/ faked in a couple bushings, in the clutch link, bolted my seat back in, screwed down a handsome rubber flex around that that classic Hurst shifter....dropped it off the stands, and went for tool around the block.. Wow!!! What a...

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Extra room!?! Custom fab'd , and still barely room. Between the pitman arm, steering box, and bell housing, I'm almost surprised a four speed was an option! Big tip of the hat to Don at Ohio mustang parts, for getting me all those hard to find bits, and getting them to me quick! Did a...

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Ok, assembled and mounted the notorious z bar. here are all the pieces... The felt washer pops over the ball, with grease. Bedded the nylon shells with lots of grease keeper groove towards the Once in , place the clip in the two little keeper holes. I had to give it a whack with a...

    I need a new 351C 2V Carb

    I have done this three times, between, rebuilding engine, and experimenting with dual and single plane manifolds. I would ad a couple "tips"... Pull your distributor. Makes it a lot easier. Be patient prying the manifold off. Work your way around with a stiff putty knife. Carefully tuck a shop...

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Yep, those are those pretty stainless ones I was looking at the other day. OBX? They are virtually the same pattern as mine. see my grubby old ones to compare....I would suspect they won't work with a Z bar. A good exhaust shop could modify them as I did, ( except better of course) you could...

    fmx to 4 speed swap

    Yea, I really couldn't tell until I actually mocked up the bell housing with the z bar. Then it was real obvious. There are two basic designs being manufactured that I could find. Most are almost identical to mine( not good unless you want to mod them like I did. Hedman makes the other pattern I...

    I need a new 351C 2V Carb

    I used an edelbrock carb. Cheap and very easy to tune. I used a manifold I bought for 75$ on eBay, for two barrel heads . You need the gasket kit that comes with manifold gaskets and an aluminum pan/ shield and a little tube of rtv. Standard for 351. about 25$ Make sure manifold, and gasket kit...

    I need a new 351C 2V Carb

    I can't think of a performance aftermarket 2v. Any of these 351s benefit greatly from a dual plane / 4v combo. I did the conversion on my car. Really not that hard.
