Would have to wait for everything to cool down, then would run again. I upgraded to an Aeromotive In-Tank set up over the winter and so far running good. Haven't tested it it super hot weather yet, but so far done good in the 80's. did you fuel inject your car? feel free to DM me with the setup you got. would like to look at other options.

zach69grande 25 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Yesterday I finished painting the frame rails, removed the old beat rear valence, and painted my brackets for the front and rear sway bars. Today I'm going to reinstall them, add a few missing grease fittings to the fresh suspension components, and work on pulling the column, brake booster, and pedal assembly to add new components and prepare for a 5 speed swap. Let's see how far I get after I finish this coffee! ....well, since I'm still the most recent post at the moment - I did it! Installed front and rear sway bars installed grease fittings pulled the column, brake booster/master cylinder, and pedal bracket pulled all the steering linkage. now to clean stuff up, get the cable clutch set up, and put 'er all back....

ray1970 88 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 After battling far to long with my power steering I took apart my NEW steering valve to find out how poor and cheap they can be made You should not have to beat the valves out with a hammer and punch.. A little sanding and filing all is better....It should not be this hard!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwcstang 201 Report post Posted June 14, 2018 Holley started acting up this morning.. didn't idle at high rpm during cold start, also when warm, when accelerating the car went nowhere fast kept acting like it wanted to die or not getting enough fuel.. scratching my head as my car was doing this last weekend. gonna check on my fuel filters and possibly break down the carb for a good cleaning.

ray1970 88 Report post Posted June 18, 2018 Got my Fitech unit back after a six month stay in sunny California. (ECU toast) After fixing the TPS sensor that hangs below the base and binds up when you tighten the unit down. Just used a thick gasket and cut it out to clear.(the sensor only had one screw in it and it was half out) The double lock washer set up on the throttle arm lets it ride on the threads and not the flats of the shaft.. The arm moved back and forth apx .250 each way......Did away with the inner lock washer.... All is good! The air sensor in the primary throttle bore is snapped off.... Currently trying to find one... Tech was of little help.. The wiring was different at the plugs in a good way. This is unit no.4 and so far it really works like I had hoped the last three would....Time will tell. Should not be this hard!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MN69Grande 203 Report post Posted July 23, 2018 Changed the Jets in the Holley... to make it run worse I guess. Tomorrow I'll go back to the previous ones. Also installed a new fuel filler neck with the over flow prevention mod Stangs-R-me came up with. Hopefully I'll test that out next week. 2 bigmal and stangs-R-me reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountaineerfan 44 Report post Posted July 24, 2018 Not much. She's been in the shop since October getting body and paint done. Rumor has it we will have it home this week! Then the work starts of reassembling the interior.... But I did stop to see her today! All the "Mustang" badging is back on, and weatherstripping was being installed! 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountaineerfan 44 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 She's home!! But of course, as a teacher, school starts tomorrow and I won't have time to do anything for awhile!! Argh! So my first order of business is to recharge the battery. It came back quite dead, but I have a trickle charger on it now, and it's charging up! I want to start with putting the gauge cluster back in, so I figure I need a battery so I can test that! 4 Mike65, MAC390, Johns Summer of 69 and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mountaineerfan 44 Report post Posted August 18, 2018 Thanks to everyone’s help on here, I have the instrument cluster installed. I hope to goodness the speedo cable is hooked properly. That is much harder to install than it should be. The dash is a repro, and it is just sitting there because I was checking fit. Still have things to finish in there before closing her up. But I’m happy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmal 225 Report post Posted August 19, 2018 The misses keeps complaining (because that's what they do) about getting in an out of the car and having noting to grab. I fitted this handle from a BMW. Surprisingly easy. Use the seat belt hook hole for the front and the doubler was in the right place for the rear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used a left over cup from the kids birthday party as a masking for the sender hole. Pretty darn nice transformation. What's the inside look like? I swapped from power to manual brakes a month or two ago. Today I plugged the power brake booster vacuum hose source on the intake which was causing a vacuum leak I couldn't find. Duh! But the hose did look at home since I couldn't see the open end. Ya big dummy. Where's that conservator I ordered? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantedvalve 128 Report post Posted September 21, 2018 It is a newer tank... probably 1998. It looked clean on the inside. Here is one from this morning. It is still a bit tacky. I don't know if I put it on too heavy... I tried not to. Got some bugs in there too, which is the flaws you can see in the straight on shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
