Hello, I just recently bought a 1968 mustang coupe with a straight six. When I bought it, it had been sitting for about a year.

I am considering buying an antique truck for deliveries...a small enough model that what would hold less than today's minivans. What's the first year, make and model offered in America that had air conditioning as an option? I understand some cars, like Franklins, as early at the 1910s,...

Howdy, I confess I'm completely new to this NG, so I apologize if I should be looking in a FAQ somewhere for this info. But I find myself needing it rather suddenly. So any help would be greatly appreciated. I suddenly find myself needing to dispose of my father's car. Not the one he...

Long story short, the carb doesnt have a ported vacuum source for the timing advance. the manual I have shows it hooked up to manifold vacuum. If any one has this info ,it would be most appriciated. It is a rochester...

I'm was wondering what the largest car (not truck) that FoMoCo ever mass produced. I'm guessing the answer is the styling travesty that is the '58 Lincoln, but wouldn't rule out the 70's Mark IVs. And an honorable mention probably goes to the those County Squire station wagons. -- Gargoyles...

I just bought a `59 country sedan (probably the only in germany) with worn out 292 engine and cruise-o-matic , I´d like to swap another and bigger small- block, but as I`m new to US-Fords, I don`t know which engines will fit. It has not obligatory to be an original `59 motor. I'm sure that in the...

I just saw a De Soto sitting in a classic salvage yard and it got me thinking. I need a daily driver. Yes I said it, a daily driver and a 50's De Soto in the same post! I was thinking about picking one up and doing a partial resotoration along with a modernization. I am no purist when it comes...

I'm interested in the simple electrical system wiring on a completely stock 1928 Ford Tudor. I've got the spring loaded plug that goes into the distributor, but the cable has been broken off of it. (it is always touching the metal inside in the "unretracted" position). as I understand, the...

I need major help. I have successfully rebuilt the vacuum motor for thewindshield wipers on my 1959 Edsel Ranger, but when I reinstalled it I could not get the motor to operate the wiper arms.
