Been a while since I've posted, but the second round of building this car has come and gone. Now I need to get rid of some parts I've hoarded and hope they can be useful to someone. New owner to pay shipping from Utah. These have been painted and will need refinishing. 16 year old me tried using...

I finally have my car back with a newly painted old fender. Now its back to diagnosing some of the problems. My car has always had some clunking and vibrating issues in the power train. Whenever I go from drive to reverse or vice versa it thumps pretty hard. I pulled my slip yoke and it has a...

Hey guys, One of my exhaust manifolds has been leaking for a bit now, and with a couple of days off work I thought I'd finally throw the headers that are in the shed on the 'Stang. Has anyone successfully changed out their manifolds with the motor in the car? Maybe this is a stupid question...

I'm looking to get my hands on a 670 CFM Holley street avenger with electric choke. I bought one off a guy, but when it arrived he had shipped one with manual choke. If anyone has one used, I'd love to take it off your hands. -Zac

A couple of days ago now I got sick of my dirty slotted aluminum rims and figured I'd really take the time to fix the problem right. I had tried using hard cleaners before, but with no effect. I jacked the wheel up with a crappy scissor jack (our hydrolic is broken) to take it off for my...

Was just on youtube watching some music videos to pass some time and one of the first that came up was Saliva - Click Click Boom. Best beginning for a music video ever. I'm not sure if there's already a thread of this somewhere. If so I'll put it up there.

Way back at the beginning of summer I had gone up to the University of Utah to talk about their music program. I am hoping to get a certification in music production/sound engineering. One of the councilors had told me that they would have a sound engineering program within the year, so I...

Anyone ever seen/used this site? http://www.ausfordparts.com/ I guess that these guys ship all sorts of aussie parts into the states and store them there, saving some shipping expense. I've been thinking that when I have the money I'll throw some aussie 2V heads on the Cleveland. I was also...

I've got three things that have popped up that I'm trying to figure out with no luck so far. 1- I can smell pretty heavy fuel inside my car. It doesn't smell like exhaust, but straight gasoline. It seems to be even more prevelant when I get on the gas. 2- My manifold vacuum doesn't read...

Looking around on some of the other mustang forums I frequent, I have found it to be a matter of some debate as to whether or not the 8" rear end was used in the same cars that were equipped with a 351 Cleveland motor, but it seems to me that it was done becuase, well, my car is an 8" rear 351C...

I've got some stuff left over from my project that somebody here might have use for. Some of it is in just fine condition, some of it would only be useful for bits and pieces. Here's what I've got... -Dark red sunvisors (pair) -Kick Panels (pair) -Dash trim (full set) -dash end cap...

A year ago I had one of my neighbors who used to do windshields install mine, but unfortunately he installed in such a way that there were leaks along the top. He said he had never installed a rear window like the one in my coupe, so he gave me some suggestions and I did it myself...

In my quest to learning as much as I can about mechanics, recently I've been trying to understand torque converters. I get most of the basic concepts, but I'm having a hard time understanding stall speeds. From what I've read it sounds like you want a high stall speed if your car can handle...

For a while I've been able to feel that jolt when you hit that gas that tells you new U-joints are needed, and finally got around to it. I went to my local O'reilly and they pulled up the 73 mustang on their computer and gave me the U-joints that it said. I went home, pulled my driveshaft...

Hey guys, After a month of troubleshooting my mustang is running again, but the problem I have now is my tinkering. I had tuned my carb. up previous to this whole fiasco, but since then I have adjusted my timing. Now I'm looking at a power problem I am having. The first problem is the engine...

Hey guys, I realized that I've never posted pics of my stang' up on this site, and I've finally got my car running and had a chance to take it out for some pics, so here they are. Thanks for all the help from you guys. This is a great site with tons of awesome people. I couldn't have ever...

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of people on here who know a LOT more than me about these cars, or mechanics in general, so I'm hoping someone has an idea or some input. My 73 coupe has run great for the past couple of years, but just these last weeks it's been giving me some trouble. A...

Hey guys. I was hoping somebody might have some input on my plans for the car, now that I'm starting to make some money I can put into the mustang. My original plans were to put a 4v carb on my 2v 351C, but I'm starting to reconsider. Is it worth the investment to put some 4V heads on my 2V...

I realize how stupid of a post this is, but if I don't do something, someone is going to have to check me into a mental hospital. My drivers side window is more squeaky than my grandmothers wood floor and it is driving me crazy. I tried spraying some WD-40 on there, but everytime I roll my...

Hey guys, Sorry its been a while since I logged on. Unfortunately the forum had to drop down a little ways on my list of priorities, but school and work are under control, so I'll be on regularly. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody had suggestions as to the best way for me to learn about...
