Sorted the blower motor out now - the wires were completely frayed but some carefully applied electrical tape sorted that. Pretty good airflow for a potentially 45 year old motor! Update on the 390 - I had it running for a few minutes last week - it then overheated and quite literally blew the...

@Ponyboy289 - thanks for your kind offer. I'm sure I will be picking your brains at some point. As I mentioned on the VMF thread I've just started dismantling the 66 - removed the heater core and found the dreaded cowl rot. Also, more "usual" stuff like no heater plenum, hoses or def vents. Also...

Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. Well, I got it back today ($300 poorer but $150 of that was for the tow) with my new Street Avenger 670CFM carb on there ($350 from Amazon of all places). I gotta say - it's an absolute monster - I was actually too scared to give it any serious gas as...

Rocco's just rang - they got it running. The problem is the carb is dumping fuel in - new carb should do the trick :)

That's the only thing I couldn't do. In a sick kind of way I hope that's what it is - at least then I'll have an excuse to rip the car apart, rebuild the engine and then swap it all into a fastback shell :D

It went to a place called Rocco's on Marbledale Rd in Tuckahoe. I've only been in the country 9 months and have no experience with any local garages so literally had to choose between a few I drive past every day. The neighbours all either have new cars or know people in Bronx, Queens etc...

Thanks for the responses guys. Just a quick bit of history - the car sat for a year before the owner traded it into the garage that I bought it from. The garage owner himself is a drag car owner and before putting it on ebay change the engine and transmission oils and drained the tank (it's a...

Thanks. I've checked the operation of the carb and all 4 squirters are squirting fine. In fact the carb dumps quite a lot of fuel (it's an 850CFM Holley 4150HP). Luckily for me the firing order is stamped on the manifold :-) and the PO had numbered the leads and painted all the timing marks...

Hi all, I've just got my first Mustang - a 67 Coupe with a 390 engine that's been fiddled with and turned into a drag car. I picked up last Wednesday when it started from cold fine and ran fine for a test drive. The 90 mile trailer ride home seems to have done something to it and now it won't...

Hello all My name's Sean and I've just bought my first Mustang - a slightly mad 67 Coupe "drag car". Here's the link to the ebay auction - Ford : Mustang - eBay (item 330539801659 end time Mar-08-11 10:28:03 PST) The idea is to de-tune it a bit and get it street-legal - once I get it started...
