so in anticipation of Megs return to life i have done several things... some of them not to smart lol so i got a new air cleaner that is oh so pretty and looking into texas laws i found out you can use i license plate from the year your mustang was made if the numbers are not is use...

They are 225/60 R16. They should fit just fine the only thing is I will need spacers because the offset is different. But they will not rub on anything

so made a decent score this weekend. I found a set of rims for Meg.. no not Mag and not original but they are mustang rims and they only cost $40. that's $10 a rim.... couldn't pass this up. Planning on painting them like this:

So it has been a while but i have an update... so i decided that i was not going to have the time or tools to properly repair Megs engine so i decided to take her to the shop to get fixed. She is currently with Daniel Sanchez at S and J Automotive in Anthony New Mexico. He has Pulled the...

so i got a 1" space from my father, he has had it for over 40 years with the plan to use it again, and got some gaskets and now the intake is back on.... when it was off i used a wet/dry vac to clean the block and wow did some sludge come out. All clean and ready to put in test fit with the...

so i got the intake back from the machine shop and decided that i did not like how it looked polished so.... So pretty and Blue :D

So I took the intake in and 24 hours later I have it back. The ports look great. Now to finish polishing it.... Sorta and hit it with some high heat clear coat. Oh and this is what came out of the cooling system.

I plan on plugging them up. The car is not a grande I don't know when the top was put on but I'm pretty sure it was not factory.

So I took the intake manifold off to take it to a machine shop. Now she's sitting there unable to breathe. Now hopefully the machine shop will be able to fix the two ports going into the water passage

i know i just redid the hinges in my 73 this last spring and i just bought some neodymium magnets and put them to keep the nutplates in place and it worked pretty well. it was just a pain after to get the magnets off... they were really strong and coin shapes.... hind sight i should have put...

So I was told by Don65Stang and Jarpine that i should share the story of how i came to have Meg... oh yeah decided on a name for her. So her is a little story for ya'll The origin of Meg. So I have desired a 1971 ford mustang Mach 1 for many years now, but being in the army and always moving...

so just a quick update (with pics) so i blew my radiator cap and sent antifreeze all over (all the dark on the road is from my car) this was shortly after finding out that she will not let me use the gas station to fill her tank... yet to find out why but she just spewed gas all over the...

So LOTS of fun yesterday.... apparently the previous owner decided to seal the thermostat with silicone so it would not leak... so it efectivly sealed it so it would not open. so it has been fine for the 2-3 min trips but i decided to drive to the grocery store with her and well lets just say it...

Ok so I checked the float level and rebuilt the carb. I am pretty sure that I found the issue. The old fuel filter that was on the fuel mine was hollowed out... So I put a new fuel filter on and had the carb cleaned out and amazingly it's running better. Yay for idiots that do crazy crap to...

I don't know anyone who has a red Mach out here

1) is there a difference when the engine is cold verse warmed up? The issue is worse when the car is cold 2) is it dying if you slowly accelerate? or this only happens when you stomp on it going to wide open throttle. It happens whenever the accelerator is pressed 3) is the car backfiring...

i have a holley 4160 600 CFM on a 302 that is dying on acceleration. i currently have 63 jets and a 31 squirter. does anyone have a suggestion for what size to use?

so found the culprit for the charging system.. the alternator was bad so new alternator and voltage regulator (suggested to me to change one with the other) and now she is charging like she should.

So it's really close to the 24th... Any ideas where we want to get together?
