my new old stang

68351w · June 22nd, 2007, 01:13 AM

whats up fellas? i'm 18 years old... im a newbie here. just sold my 3000gt (ricer). but now im gettin a '68 coupe with a 351w and an auto... pretty sure its a c4. but if yall have any mod sugestions it would be greatly appreciated.

nba1341 · June 22nd, 2007, 02:09 AM

glad to see your getting a classic!

is the 351 all stock?

Horseshoeing · June 22nd, 2007, 05:49 AM

Happy to have you here. What kind of mods are you looking for?

68351w · June 22nd, 2007, 11:24 AM

all stock except an edelbrock carb and patriot side pipes.... i really want to turn it into a 10 or 11 sec stret car.

Horseshoeing · June 22nd, 2007, 03:43 PM

edelbrock intake and a cam and header. A new carb is not going to help much with those.

nba1341 · June 22nd, 2007, 05:05 PM

you could stroke it

68351w · June 23rd, 2007, 06:15 PM

so i picked the stang up today.... little bit worse shape than the guy led me to believe... needs new suspension... p/s and p/b.... there is alot of play in the steering wheel and the dash is sagging and is ripped... the radiator leaks pretty bad... i found bondo on the car... pissed me off. and some of the paint is cracking... but the very very very good thing is that there is little to almost no rust... any suggestions on a performance susp... and what the hell can i do to stop the play in the steering wheel??

nba1341 · June 23rd, 2007, 07:17 PM

when i first got my stang there was so much play in the wheel you dont even know i could barley stay in 1 lane

what i did to fix it was replace the steering gear box and tighten up the suspension and such (for rattling at high speeds)

69fastback · June 23rd, 2007, 07:58 PM

sometime an alignment can work wonders. I eyeballed my front suspension when I put the car together, and when I drove it, it scared the piss out of me. It had tons of play, and went all over the place. The toe was so far out it wouldn't read on a n alignment machine. I would spend the $40 on that first, plus they can tell you whats worn out.

68351w · June 24th, 2007, 01:10 AM

oh yeah.. its definately out of alignment.. im planning on rebuilding the whole suspension... any suggestions.... needs to be stiff for a straight line but not be completely shit in the corners.

68351w · June 24th, 2007, 01:13 AM

how can i tell what size carb i have... i didnt put it on there.. the guy before me had it put on and he doesnt know what it is... hes a dumbass

69fastback · June 24th, 2007, 09:44 AM

There should be a model number somewhere visible on it. What's the brand and model number?

Horseshoeing · June 24th, 2007, 09:57 AM

Where are you at? There are Mustang part houses that all they deal with is Mustangs. If you goto the part house down the street, the cost more for alot of the parts.

nba1341 · June 24th, 2007, 03:16 PM

since you said edelbrock find the number on the carb then look here
http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_.../carbs_acc.pdf
for the model number or in your edelbrock catalog at home

68351w · June 26th, 2007, 10:00 PM

its the performer series 600cfm

68351w · June 26th, 2007, 11:44 PM

ok so my passenger door doesn't open.. won't oper from the inside or the outside... it's not locked.. when i put the key in from the outside it just keeps spinning??? what the hell??

nba1341 · June 26th, 2007, 11:57 PM
