    amp dashboard light not illuminating

    The 2G update is readily available on both Amazon and epay.....87 Aerostar 3.0 for the 2G 95 Mustang 5.0 for the 3G....both are bolt in replacing the old 1G. Homemade mounts but nice fit on a 351C where the 1G would have been..

    amp dashboard light not illuminating

    Ford has "one wire" alternators, 2G and 3G. Getting either from the correct late model only requires a pulley change (original 1G pullet is a direct swap) and a single exciter feed from the run side of the ignition switch through a light bulb. Put a 2G in my 36 and a 3G in the Ranchero. Yes...

    New Wire Harness

    Contact Painless, they are known for their tech support. Most excellent. They should have a record of who, what and where it was purchased and installed. Their panels are serial numbered and they record all the above information. The painless system is the best out there IMHO. This opinion...

    Front disc brake conversion

    You're making my brain hurt trying to remember the details..:<)...the picture of the booster is what I ended up hooking to the stock linkage under the dash. I do not recall the actual fastener I used to connect the push rod to the pedal linkage. Nope, stayed with the drum/drum. The brakes were...

    Front disc brake conversion

    Old age is interesting? No more pics, when the Edsel was modified I was not good at taking pictures. This digital stuff is relatively new to me despite being an electronic engineer! Yes, the 7" dual diaphragm worked perfect using the stock pedal assembly. The linkage from the pedal jumble...

    Front disc brake conversion

    Yes, it was a 361, the carb was an Autolite 1200, the transmission was the ol 3 speed with the center of the steering wheel push buttons. Which still worked. It had hydraulics and non adjustable rockers. I figured out that the stock linkage would work...but...mounting the booster was the...

    Front disc brake conversion

    My 58 Edsel Pacer had the Treadle-vac system. Had it rebuilt, installed, worked great. Had to park the car for about 8 months due to a big (EBP) prostate issue. Went back to playing with cars brakes did not work! Very hard pedal, very poor stopping power. Made a bracket to mount a dual 7"...

    Retired with full benefits. I was married (still am, same woman) during many of the underway times. Areas around Navy bases are full of folks that "are in the same boat" as everyone else. We help each other out when the shipmate is underway and you are home. The wives have a social support...

    Yup, almost 30 years. Started as an E-1 and retired as a CWO4. Nam X2, Libya and the Persian Gulf. 18 years of sea duty, 8 long deployments and managed to come out of it all (shot at twice, never hit) with no serious medical issues despite my best efforts to push the limits when I was young...

    70 Torino 302 build questions.

    Want good street able HP, I look at the late Mustang EFI 302s. Put one in a 66 Falcon Ranchero. 5 speed, 3:56 gears, ran great, made good HP and gave right at 22 MPG. I am a huge EFI fan! There is so much aftermarket support out there that it is close to fool proof. Not talking Holley or...
