Coolant leak & general Questions

Thu, 24 May 2012 16:41:19 GMT

Hi there mustangv8 members,

i have just bought a 2005 Mustang GT V8 4.6.

And now that I have driven my dream car for about a week the first problem occurs.

When I park my car in the garage after driving the car looses about 3/4 of the coolant sometimes.

Looking at the coolant case showed me that the case or the cap(both original) seem to be the problem as they are wet and all the coolant drops ...

Changing Manifold

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:47:24 GMT

I am in the proccess of changing my stock two barrel to an Edlebrock performer intake and carb and in the old manifold there is a sensor of some sort at the middle front of the stock manifold. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what that might be. Also I thought I had a 289 but when I removed the stock manifold there was a 302 stamped in the valley between the heads, is this a 302?

Converting '65 V8 Front End to Disk Brakes and Power Steering

Wed, 23 May 2012 17:01:19 GMT

Hi Everyone! Am new to the site! I have a '65 notchback with a '72 302 in it and the R-model fiberglass front end. The steering is currently the arm-strong type, and very loose (scary loose!)... I'd like to convert it to the disc brakes and power-steering all at the same time. Is there a kit that everyone likes or recommends? Also, it has Centerlines with an offset on it and I'd like to c...

Installing JBA headers in a 65 Coupe

Thu, 10 May 2012 23:17:03 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum. I've got a 65 coupe (302) that I'm attempting to install the complete exhaust system from Mustangs plus. You know JBA shorty headers all the way back. Problem is the left header (drivers side) is hitting the steering box. I'm short at most 1" probably less. I have the 66 mounts installed but I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?

thanks,

The Gun...

Add twist lock hood retainers to a 1971-1973 Mustang Ram Air hood

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:13:05 GMT

Well I bought them some time back, but the thought of cutting holes in my hood kept me from getting to this project for some time. Well Sunday I decided that it was time to either do it right or mess it up.

First I mounted the brackets. I removed the hood adjusters and the brackets installed in holes that ford equipped the car with. The kit did not include the hardware to mount these bracket...

03 G.T. Starts and Dies

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:26:39 GMT

I'm in the process of getting a 4.6 03 G.T. for a really, really good price. It's been sitting for a while. The owner said it started and stopped when she "parked" it. She also said she thought she heard a pop through the intake. Could it be a timing belt/fuel pump? Any ideas before I purchase this would be appreciated.
