I have a 66 with a 289 and a manual 5-speed transmission. It's great fun by I can't even drive it across a puddle without it losing its damn mind. I think I'd like to start by installing a sway bar to tighten up the handling a little bit but could use some recommendations. Also, even though...

Hi all, 66 coupe, 289 auto I had the gauge cluster out to run a new switched power wire to my new tachometer, and now with it all back together the gauges are acting weird. When I turn the car on, the fuel and oil pressure gauges max out, and then slowly return to 0. The battery voltage gauge...

Today I found out that my turn signals on both the left and right side of my Mustang will turn on, but will not blink. I've checked the emergency flashers to make sure that they still blinked (they did) and the cause was not the turn signal flasher. I'm wondering what else could be the reason...

Hey guys! I currently have a 289 V8 in my 1966 mustang. I am looking at getting a bigger engine to put in. I was looking at a 302 or a 347. Does anyone know if I were to go with the 347 would I need to change anything in the engine bay such as motor mounts? I've read that with the 302 nothing...

I replaced my AM/8 Track radio with a Custom Auto Sound USA-230 and CJ Pony Parts failed to mention that if you are replacing an 8 Track the dash will have a big gap. Nobody makes a bezel for this, any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this will be appreciated. I called a few car stereo stores who...

On the '66 mustang we have the horn doesn't work unless the steering wheel is racked all the way in a bind. To pass inspection I've put an accessory horn button down by the shifter. This will activate the horn so I'm sure the problem is in the steering wheel. I've been told there is a...

My wife has a 66 Mustang (I've always been a Camaro guy) that had a bad aftermarket stereo installed. For Christmas I bought her a vintage appearing stereo that had an input for her iPhone. After installing the stereo (and getting rid of a lot of the bad old wiring) the tail lights/parking...
