    Cruise Control not working

    If anyone with an older Mustang with the Vacuum Servo Cruise Control that is not working and would like to get it working. Might I suggest that before tearing the car apart and contort yourself to check wiring & connections. Check for a blown Fuse and that your brake lights are not blown of...

    Sensitive Steering at Highway speeds

    I know I'm going to have to replace the rear shocks and probably the rear springs and sway bars.as well. There is little or no travel left in the shocks to the point I don't like taking any tight turn ramps like coming off the 118 on to the 111 here in Dartmouth at any kind of speed because the...

    Sensitive Steering at Highway speeds

    Yes I've squealed the tires a couple of times taking off while turning at an intersection. You maybe right upgrading the tires and rims would probably help by putting more load on the steering system and reduce the sensitivity.

    I'm trying to figure out if there is a problem with the power steering on my 83 Fox Body being so quick and sensitive at Highway speeds or if this sensitivity is normal. I must admit the Mustang is the first RWD drive car I've driven in over 35 years and I am more familiar with the feeling of...

    New to the party from Dartmouth

    Thanks for the welcome & comments I bought the car at the end of August and I did manage to get it down to one of the Dartmouth Thursday night A&W meets in September and I'm looking forward to showing it off next year. The car came from BC via Moncton and I don't think it ever saw a winter or...

    New to the party from Dartmouth

    Just joined the forum along with my recently acquired 1983 Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible I'm also looking forward in connecting with other members of the group in the Halifax and Antigonish area I've attached pic's taken on the last run before being put to bed for the winter
