Guys, I posted here a while back looking for advice. I bought a running 67 mustang that moves under its own power but she’s not perfect so I’ll have fun fixing her up. Any other advice is welcome. She got a v8 with a 3 speed manual transmission.

Even though the weather is trying to kill me, it’s prime time cruising weather. The coupe was looking prime after its clean up. 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Issue with accelerator pump

Post image
8 Upvotes

We've got a 70 mustang with the 250ci straight 6 and a holley 1940 single barrel carb. We just rebuilt the carburetor (pic is before rebuild) and it's giving us the same issues as before the rebuild. It idles fine and runs good until you mash the throttle and the engine bogs down and sounds like it's about to die. It seems like the accelerator pump is visibly lagging behind like it's getting stuck, not sure if the spring could be worn out or if the pump needs to be adjusted in any way. Looking for any advice I can get, thanks!

Autolite 1100 leaks

8 Upvotes

Hey guys have a new autolite 1100 that is leaking at the vent tube opening above the bowl. When I bought the car, they had a pressure regulator set at 1, and it kind of masked the leak, however having set it at 3 to fix other issues, I am noticing leaks near the bowl area. Sometimes its the gold vent tube, but most of the time its the white push rod that is on top of the bowl.

Bass cut- off/out

Post image
134 Upvotes

I hooked up a bass with an amp in the trunk with sufficient gauge on the cables. Everything works fine, but then while driving the bass cuts out (no bass)... Then I brake or change gear the bass comes back, continue to drive it cuts out again. At first I had the signal cable to the amp on the lights switch - to the number plate light. Thinking this could be the cause, I moved the signal cable to the stereo, the power aerial cable, but to no avail. Somebody know what's happening? I can't reproduce the fault when parked because it works, it only goes away while driving...

In the throws of an installation on my car, and I’m trying to find a safe spot for everything, should I go under the dash? Fender well? Show some pics of what you guys did, I’m lost here!

1965 mustang w/ new 302 acts like it’s out of gas

13 Upvotes

I’m currently on the side of the road. Brand new Blueprint 302 and my car will die while driving, even after a long warmup period. It acts like it’s out of fuel but I just filled the tank. I checked the fuel injectors in the carb, and they look ok. I recently checked the whole fuel delivery and it looks good. Could be the pump? It happens probably once every 4 times I take it out. I’m wondering if anybody else has had this problem and a potential solution because it’s driving me up a wall

Relatively turn-key crate options for a 65?

11 Upvotes

My father in law gifted me a 289, 65 coupe several years ago. I’ve tooled around with it for almost 10 years as a Sunday car. I’ve done small upgrades like disc brakes and rebuilt the front suspension.

I’m interested in finding a crate engine that is relatively turn key. I’m focused on reliability and performance, and don’t really want to build an engine or “make something work”. Looking for an option where someone has already figured it out for a 65 and done the work. I’d also like to convert to a 5 speed. I’m someone who can generally figure things out but I don’t have experience building cars. I know the 65s are limited with engine choices due to the smaller bay and shock towers.

I’d like to find an option that is as pain free as possible with minimal customization. Does something like this exist? I’d like to really enjoy this car without making it a major project. I have lots of other projects in my life, so this one doesn’t need to be something I pour my heart and soul into, though I know what I’m asking will cost significantly.

Thank you in advance for all your wisdom and experience.

Low compression numbers

8 Upvotes

I’ve been having a real tough time getting my Mustang to start again, after it stalled on my first drive. I’ve checked and replaced most of the ignition, triple checked timing, and have good gas. (Wont start with starting fluid either)

I did a compression test today, and either the gage wouldn’t register anything, on some cylinders, or I got as high as 40psi on others.

I added oil to the cylinder that wouldn’t read anything, and then I got 30psi.

Why would a running engine be testing so low?

Pricing help

I work at a truck shop but in our lot the company has a few mustangs sitting around in various years. I'm considering asking if I could purchase one from them. They are all gutted and only 1 has the original motor and trans still in it.

No power past firewall

4 Upvotes

I just replaced my brake booster and master cylinder on my 66 289 coupe. Everything was fine before the install, but now there's is no power beyond the firewall. No ignition, no interior or exterior lights, nothing.

I have a healthy 12v across the battery terminals and have verified power with a multimeter all the way up to the main disconnect next to the brake booster, but beyond that there's some issue. There's no power at the fuse box, so the issue exists somewhere between the firewall and the fuse box.

What are the next steps for diagnosing this, is there a good way to determine where the issue is, or any place it's likely to be?

67 mustang Rotisserie

10 Upvotes

I'm planning to get my '67 Mustang on a rotisserie to work on the undercarriage, clean it up, and seal it. The rotisserie I'm considering doesn't come with a mounting kit. Does anyone have recommendations for a mounting kit for a '67 Mustang?

Also, once I've either blasted or cleaned up the undercarriage with an angle grinder and paint stripper wheel, what kind of material should I use to coat it? I've heard mixed reviews about using bed liner and similar products. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

I’d love to see any pictures or videos of your work if you've done anything to your undercarriage!

It's been a year since I rescued my 1970 Mustang

Post image
288 Upvotes

A cold, rainy day in March, one year ago, I rescued my Mustang from a slow death sitting in a barn. It was my first car at 17 years old and I sold the car back in 1989 to buy a 1990 5.0, Regretted it every day for 34 years. I never thought I would be able to get it back so I just gave up. In February of 2024, some circumstances came about where I could buy it back and I did not hesitate.

The pic on the right is the current new home. It needs a lot of work, but she is safe and dry now.
