So the car started all by itself, I assume the car started idling and the starter was still spinning as well? If yes I would try reversing the wires on the "S" and the "I" Posts on the solenoid,it's sounds like they might be crossed.Not to throw a bad variable into the works,But I have actually...

I've been using and servicing the glass fuse setups for years without incident. If you have a bad main harness, then I guess you need to swap it.Your options for new would be Painless or Repo,That all comes down to personal preference, how the car is being built,finances,etc.

Hey, Welcome to the site. I see you found the classic section. You should start a new topic in there related to this. So did this car have all of the electric(lighting ) issues Prior to the gauge swap? It looks like I might have to dust off my 68 wiring diagrams and shop manual....LOL.

Ok, So I'm clear, The car would not turn over with the key. You junped the solenoid and the car started and ran. You installed a new solenoid and the car just started cranking? 1) Do you mean on it's own? 2)Do you mean when you jumped it at the solenoid? 3) Or do you mean when you turned the...

Not to throw parts at the car or problem ,But it sounds like you have a bad solenoid.

Hey, As Mike said, N.Y. Could always use another classic. That said if you have the option of coming here first without it,I'd go that route that way you can get yourself situated and then leisurely find a spot. Parking in always an issue and in Manhattan it can be very spendy. In terms of...

Great picture,Tim.

Hey, Unfortunately to the best of my knowledge these have been obsoete for years. I don't know of other mounts that can be made to work,I've met and talked to a bunch of people over the years that have run into problems with finding mounts for the 250's.Hopefully the shop didn't throw out...

Hey Tim, I'm glad you got it figured out.You have to love the internet. I'd appreciate any info/photos you have as I am thinking of using one of mine as well. Unfortunately I don't have a shifter but I was thinking of possibly using a stock 65-66 Mustang Tailshaft housing and shifter? I'm...

Hey Tim, I wish I had some input for you on this,I actually have 2 of these transmissions (one from a granada,and one from a truck).They've been sitting on the shelf for a while I've been thinking about installing one of these into one of my cars(probably my 66 6 cyl vert)...

Hey, You had me at " 1963 1/2 "R" Code Galaxie. WOW. I'm a huge fan of the full size Fords,I'm primarily A classic Mustang guy but I do have one full sized Big Block galaxie (68). I'd be very interested in seeing photos of your Galaxie, Feel free to stop by the Classic section and start a...

Here's one. Welcome to the site. In my free time( I have none,lol) I could probably locate some additional photos for you.As I have an insane classic Ford and Mustang Library.I have to ask, what specifically are you interested in regarding the car? Are you looking to recreate one?

Hey, I'm going to play a couple of roles in this reply.First I'm going to play the Legal counsel role (sort of,lol) Then I'm going to play the role of the hardcore Mustang Geek,Historian. Because I am very intriqued as well. Mostly I want you to take my post as a positive and as a...

I think you need to "Skin that pony" . I'd go with a pair of quarter skins if not full quarters. I see too many issues,by the time you were done patching those you'd have to spend a lot of time body working those areas to blend them in right. Aside from the rot,I also see a bunch of evidence of...

Hey Mike, After replying to your P/M I took another look at the pictures.What does the lower rear of the left quarter look like? I think I see a pair of quarter skins in your future? I say this because there appear to be several issues on the panel and I'm having my doubts about the...

Hello, And welcome.So you took a hiatus,it happens At least you had the car and held onto it,I know so many people who sold their cars and now want them back. It's always great to see a new classic join the site.I'm a huge NON -Eleanor Fan ,so we should get along just fine.If you need...

Hey, My friends and I rented vending spots K126,127,128, & 129. So I was hanging out down in that area mostly.Although I did take off and scour the swap meet primarily looking for stuff for my current projects. Late Friday night when the crap was really hitting,I was hanging out in the...

People that went on the weekend got very lucky. I go to shop for parts primarily,so I go early(I was there Thursday morning at 7a.m.) That said it was like the world was ending on thurs and friday sunny one minute crappy the next (60 mph wind gusts,flash floods, hail). My friends and I had 4...

As noted,I guess I was referring to memorial as the upcoming weekend & Carlisle as "Next weekend" Anyhooo. It's pretty much always the first weekend of June. All I can say is to anyone in the northeast who hasn't attended ,if you don't think you're missing much,Trust me you are missing a ton.It...

Gotcha, I'll bring them to Carlisle as I really need space over here. I'd love to see you buy them(my loss your gain) but I really want them gone.
