Well it seems the old girl is "powering down" on me occasionally now. Has happened 3x now while driving. At low-speed or idle, but in-gear. Car is C4 auto trans. Symptom is complete power outage. Engine immediately quits, radio, lights, other internal electrical also go out. In all cases...

I just heard of this artist on the 69stang forum. The artist will create a custom "blueprint" of your car. $80 for a custom (basically whatever you want on there, you can send him specs, pics etc), but he will do a "standard" year for $25 or so. Blueprints are 18x24in, and look pretty nice...

All, I'm posting this as a "lessons learned" to a saga that has been tough for me to resolve. I love doing the work on my mustang, but I dislike it when I am my own worst enemy. This is a story one of those days. Sometimes, the most useful purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to...

Guys, I have had a big problem with my rear brakes being locked out. Can't even bleed them. I have manually recentered the prop valve several times, but it immediately goes stuck one side to close off rear brakes. This is a 2 yrs old master cylinder, and so it shouldn't be bad already, but...

Simple question. How can I remove and test the brake warning light switch from the proportioning valve and verify it is working properly? If this switch is removed from the proportioning block, and it remains attached to the harness, it seems to me that a simple alligator switch from the...

I've got a buddy that is looking to buy a classic car (but not a mustang). The seller says the engine is original, but doesn't run. What are the best tests that a person evaluating a car can do on an engine to determine if it is rebuildable? Any and all thoughts appreciated... Jay

All, recently, I noticed the engine was developing some significant pinging under heavy load (like when you go WOT because you like that kind of thing). Some background: I have points/condenser ignition 302 2bbl. I have ported vacuum which has generally worked pretty well - car has generally...

My mustang is finally ready for paint I believe! SO- I'm looking to take it for estimates.... Anyone in the Houston Area (south side preferred as I am in Friendswood area) that you have used or had good experiences with. I will take tips on places to avoid too, PM if you prefer, it's too...

Does anyone recognize what this part is: Thanks for any help!

Does anyone out there have the ability to create models using Pro-Engineer/Creo? I've got a few small concepts for some things I would like to CAD up so I could consider fabricating them. I realize there are other CAD options. If you have those skills, let me know, but my experience has been...

Looking for some thoughts on an interesting issue we've had. Front brakes had developed a leak somewhere (still unknown), and the larger master cylinder chamber had drained down to where brakes weren't working. I pulled the Master cylinder and cleaned it up - it was very dirty everywhere in...

All, We have a 71 driver that is in good shape. In the last year, I have had to replace the condenser 3 times. When we got the car, I purchased a pertronix flamethrower coil for it, but we are running points and condenser under the cap. The coil replacement came after we were having problems...

Well, if you buy a 16 year old boy an excellent driver 71 mustang, there's one cringe-worthy thing you really don't wanna hear (but you might oughta expect), and it's that phone call from him... "ummm, dad?" (yes, son?) "Umm, i was just turning the corner, and I umm, lost control of the car, and...

I'm having trouble locating a steering center link (power steering) for a 71. Several sites have it on their website, but not in stock (eg. CJ pony). N/A at Ohio mustang, Laurel Mtn has it, but out of stock and no idea when they'll get one. Another think is prices are all over the map. I...

So last week my boy is driving the car and hears a small "pop" while driving. Not to major, but definitely a "hearable" event. He wondered what the noise was, but attributed it to something he had done inside the car at the same time he heard the noise. Next day I am in the car with him, and...

All, For the few of you that are hanging around the Houston area, I'd like to find a speed shop to run-in my rebuilt engine (done by Owens' Racing in Pearland). Can anybody point me to someone who can help me tune a new electronic ignition, a rebuilt 40 yr old carburetor (original), and get...

All, I'm looking for some thoughts here for potential causes. We have a 71 302 2V with a C4 trans. When I got the car, i had front bearings replaced, front shocks & spring perches, new struts both sides and both new lower control arms. Also had a good alignment done all at a reputable...

All, is it possible to buy a replacement cigar lighter for a 71? Ours is not operational. It's not the fuse cause the wipers, horn etc (same circuit according to wiring diagrams) all work. So I suspect it must have gone bad on PO and been disconnected. A quick search at Don's site and CJ...

Hey guys, I'm interesting in putting some 6x9 speakers on the back deck package tray. We have a 71 coupe. the holes in the deck won't let speakers this size fit well, so I'm looking for a package tray that has some speaker mounts on it. It seems that at CJ pony, you can get all kinds of...
