Re: What do you think? - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:18:24 GMT

I have a C 4 in there right now, but I don't like the high revs on the highway, and I don't know if I want to give up my 350 rear end

Re: Get your car in a Movie - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:02:09 GMT

Welcome to the site.  Thanks for sharing that information. 

Re: 84 v6 to 351w swap - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:47:40 GMT

You got that right.  We Mustangers are a family.  We share information and experiences.  If you are at the point of letting it run for more than a few seconds, go ahead and get the water/anitfreeze mixture in the Rad and block. 

Re: What do you think? - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:33:43 GMT

Yeah Stephane, let us know what transmission you have in there right now.  It could be as simple as repairing the one you already have. 

Re: WD-40 - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:11:33 GMT

I quit using WD-40 years ago.  I use a silicon spray.  Works great for squeaky door hinges.

Here is a not too friendly article on WD-40 from Popular Mechanics.

Make up your own mind.

Re: What do you think? - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:00:29 GMT

First question is "change" from what? If it's a swap, the C4 would be the easiest. An AOD requires a  modified drive shaft, modified rear mount, modified shifter, kickdown, speedometer cable (and gear), electrical and vacuum connections and the most important item - time. There are other items, bell housing, flex plate, starter etc. Can it be done? Sure.

What do you think? - Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:22:49 GMT

Since I need to change the transmission in my 68 coupe,  the question is AOD or C4. I have 1 of each in the garage. Give me your pros and cons. Thank you.

Re: 84 v6 to 351w swap - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:12:56 GMT

Found a guy around here that buys fox bodys and has 10 of them that are mostly complete. He has an H and X pipe along with custom single downtubes. Im prolly going with the singles cause i dont know how well the H and X pipes will fit onto the 351. Dont wanna waste my money when i know the singles will work for sure. Just want car driving now. Talked to a kid that has a 85 with a 351w and he ha...

Re: Can't start my 65 - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:51:11 GMT

Yeah, during the winter season condensation tends to build up in the gas tank, and gas and water don't mix.  I used a 5 gallon gas can to drain the old gas into, and since I lived on a farm I simply poured it out into a 55 gallon barrel and set it on fire.  You may just want to set it out in the air and let it evaporate.  Use the drain plug. 

Re: Can't start my 65 - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:06:06 GMT

It does have a drain plug, but I thought I could have a hell of a mess trying to get the plug back in if I have more than 5 gallons of gas in there (which I should).  At least by siphoning, I can control it.  Stupid question, but any ideas on what to do with the bad gas?

I can't really drive it in our Alberta winters, but every fall I top the tank up and add fuel stabilizer.  Thought that shoul...

Re: 84 v6 to 351w swap - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:55:55 GMT

you just need an Hpipe to bolt on and go cruising

Re: 84 v6 to 351w swap - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:44:03 GMT

Thank You! I ended up buying a MSD box and it was pretty simple to hook up. Ive ran the car 3 times for about 10 seconds cause just has the shorties on it. Found a guy that has complete exhaust so once i get that i can set timing with a light and take it for a spin. Cant wait!

Re: Need Help: 1995 GT 5.0 V8 standard - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:26:42 GMT

Justin, did the shop run the numbers (codes)?  Meaning, did they hook up an electronic tool under the dash and analyze the problem?  The problem could be most anything, and with these newer Mustangs it is difficult to know what the problem is because you have a computer that runs any and everything that is electrical on that pony, and the only way to analyze it would be to run the codes.  My su...

Re: Can't start my 65 - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:11:49 GMT

My '65 coupe has a drain plug on the bottom of the tank on the passenger side.  Yours should too.  I used to work overseas and would let my 65 sit for 10 months out of the year, and got along pretty well leaving it with a full tank of gas along with "Stabil", but after a few years, the gas finally turned into varnish.  Now  that I'm back in the states and retired, I drive mine at least once a w...

Need Help: 1995 GT 5.0 V8 standard - Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:00:11 GMT

Hello All.

I am trying to help out a relative.  I am not very automotive savy.  I am studying mechanical engineering so I can understand anything you will provide, but please excuse my lack of real auto knowledge.  My grandmother is about 57 years old and is having a horrible time with her purple baby.  I was contacted because she doesn't feel comfortable on the internet.  Here is the story:

Re: Power steering help needed. - Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:22:43 GMT

Hi.
He told me he had to send the unit in to have it balanced on the bench. There is a valve in there that is adjusted and is sometimes difficult to balance equally. They use a gauge to get it accurately set. Mine was normal turning left but turning right was almost like there was no power streering. Made it difficult to drive.
Hope that helps.

WOW! Thank you all SO much! - Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:21:39 GMT

Lots of good information.  I REALLY appreciate it.  Best,  John
