    On the ground and running, but.

    I finished the seatbelt install and installed the seats. The car was ready for a test run and I just couldn't wait. My buddy and I drove the car around my neighborhood for about for about 20 minutes. Oil pressure was good, temp stayed stable and we made it home without a hitch. Until I shut the...

    First Start Attempt

    Well, I made my first attempt at starting the new motor for the first time. No luck! It tried to start. A couple of cylinders fired at random but nothing. My buddy and I thought we weren't getting any fuel, so I quickly installed an electric fuel pump so that issue was eliminated. Still no...

    Whats this part?

    Does anyone what the part in the red circle is, what is does and where the vacuum line is connected? Oh course, when I got my Mustang, it was not connected. I see in the parts catalogs that it is very expensive to replace. I don't know whether to hook it up or remove it and weld a block plate...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric

    Does anyone know why the cam fuel pump eccentric is 2 pieces? I purchased a Speedmaster adjustable timing gear set for my 351C/4V and the cam bolt buss slightly higher than normal (Taller than a stock cam gear buss). This is preventing the outer ring of the eccentric from touching the timing...

    Need help again

    I pulled the fenders off in order to paint the engine compartment and align the passenger door better. When I pulled the fenders, I found that the plastic splash shields on both sides are dry at the edges and are cracking apart. I have checked all the major suppliers, and I can't seem to find...

    Stroke of luck (Hopefully)

    While I have been waiting for my machine shops to start work on my head and block (seems they are very busy and my job is about 3-4 weeks out) I ran into someone on Ebay that had a freshly built 351 Cleveland with 4 bolt mains, 4V heads, big valves and big ports for sale (my mouth waters every...

    Speedometer and gauge service

    Does anyone know a company that can check and repair Spedometers and gauges? I just removed the spedo/tach cluster and found the film circuit burned. I can replace that myself but the trip meter is not working and the drive on the spedo seems stiff. I want to find a company that I can send all...

    Heater box, rebuild or replace?

    Has anyone done a rebuild on their heater box? With the engine at the machine shop, I have started on the interior. I removed the heater box this weekend. I found a broken piece at the side of the box which could be repaired. Of course all the foam is shot, and the flappers are rusted (which...

    Back to my youth!

    I have finally found the Mustang project I have been looking to tackle for a few years now. The last "classic" Mustang I owned was back in the day when I was 19. I am currently 64. I owned a 66 fastback and then a 65 coupe. I have been constantly looking on Craigslist/ Offerup/ Autotrader etc...
