66 original i6 car. Was converted at some time to a v8 and c4 somewhere along its life. While working on The suspension and steering today, I noticed the pitman arm is not fully up the steering box shaft, theres about a 1/4" gap exposed on the steeringbox shaft. And the nut seems to have the shaft inside about 3/8".
I threw a socket on it and it was fairly tight. Didnt want to force it if something is wrong here.
Is this common/correct or is there a potential problem here?

I assume the stock 289 air cleaner will not fit under the hood. Is this correct?

Hello,
I have a 65 Mustang with a 3G alternator and a mini high torque starter off of a 94 mustang. What is the best way to wire these? I think I messed something up because it won't crank. Any help is appreciated.
I posted a question on this forum but I can not find it so I thought I would try again.
1967 Mustang 289 w/2 barrel carburetor. What is this called, what is it for and how should it be set? Currently it is adjusted away from the accelerator pump to have any impact on it. Linkage goes behind...
Ok, I went out to start the car (‘66 coup - 289) and it started up and then died. I then noticed that the interior lights, headlights, radio, etc... weren’t working either. I had recently had transmission rebuilt and everything was working fine. I wanted to make sure there was power coming from...
