TSB 05-16-11 slow seat belt retraction
IMO there is no substitute for a professionally written manual. Well worth the $$'s invested and will recoup the investment with the 1st project.
I prefer the Chilton but Haynes is also good. Both manuals assume the reader is a home mechanic (does not assume the reader is a pro).

OBTW, slow seat belt retraction is a problem with many Fords (not just Mustangs). There is a Ford TSB dealing with the problem.
