i have a dash mounted ignition and i can not figure out how to remove and install a new one my Chilton’s only show how to on a steering mount any info wood help
Rick — July 27, 2008 7:03 PM
Hi Rick,
I saw your post on and wanted to see if I can help.
Removing the ignition cylinder from the dash is pretty easy and only requires a paper clip and you ignition key.
There is a small hole in the ignition cylinder that has a pin that need to be pushed to allow the cylinder to be removed. With the key in the ignition turn the key to the accessory position (counter clock wise), then push in the pin with the paper click and give the ignition cylinder one last turn counter clockwise and pull out the cylinder.
If you are removing the entire assembly then you need to remove the ignition bezel by unscrewing it from the retainer on the other side of the dash that is holding the assembly in place.
There should be a How To article going up soon.

I have a 65 – 289 4v with the sweeping style speedo. I have just purchased the Haneline 6 instrument cluster and I don’t anticipate any problems wiring it up. What does puzzle me is what do I do with the two spade connectors feeding into the instrument voltage regulator mounted on the back of the original cluster. Do I splice them together or do I just tape each end off and pretend they never existed? Additionally, do I splice the two leads going into the alternator warning light? I am assuming you do but I want to be absolutely certain about these issues before I end up frying something.
Thanks,
Rich
Richard Minton — November 20, 2008 11:01 AM
Rich,
You will want to contact Haneline for instructions and to get answers to these questions, I believe that you still need the voltage regulator.
JoeResto — November 25, 2008 7:47 AM
Thanks for your response John, I suppose you are right about contacting Haneline, I was just trying to avoid appearing to be the consummate dummy as it were. As best as I can tell, The new gauges do not need the regulator as they are rated well above the 5 amp limit on the old gauges, plus, I added a 10 amp in line fuse to the power source for the new cluster. So, I do believe I have eliminated any potential problems in that respect. As far as the alternator warning light, besides crating Ford with a cheap means for eliminating a volt or ammeter for the cheaper line of Mustangs, it also acts as an exciter for the alternator forcing it to produce when the voltage drops below an acceptable level. If I understand it correctly, the new voltmeter will accomplish the same function which is what leads me to believe I can just butt the two connections from the warning light together as well as the two connections from the instrument voltage regulator. All I will be doing is taking the two resistors off line from the warning light and the regulator and the circuit will still be intact. Does that make sense to you?
Thanks again,
Rich

jonathan — January 18, 2009 2:20 PM
Hi Jonathan,
The first thing you should do is put in some fresh fuel and check the oil and coolant level. Checking out the ignition system is something that is often overlooked so you will want to check that the gap on the points is set properly or at least close and then inspect the distributor cap and rotor.
You should get it to fire if you have these three elements all working together when you turn the key; Air, Fuel and Spark!

Hi there from Australia, love your magazine and I get it as soon as it comes out on my local newsagent. I have a question please. I have a 1966 6 cyl. mustang convertible with a manual top which I am converting to power operation but don’t know the correct position to mount the operating switch. Can anybody give me the correct measurements, thanks.
Ray Wilson — March 13, 2009 1:56 PM
I have a 1967 Mustang V8 with a 3 speed manual transmission’s just replaced the speedometer cable and the speedometer still will not work. Iam about to pull out my hair. I tested the old cable with a high speed drill and the speedometer worked just fine so I thought it was the transmission end of cable thus new cable. So I hope there is someone out thier who can give this old boy,w ith the what’s up. THANKS Lost in Gun Barrel City Tx.
JR Ledbetter — March 22, 2009 12:58 AM
JR,
You could have a bad speedometer gear. If you have tested the speedometer itself with the drill and also tested the speedometer with the cable attached and it worked, I would suspect that it is the plastic speedometer gear that is worn out.
JoeResto — March 22, 2009 8:27 AM
I’m replacing the ignition switch on a ’65 Mustang and I am having a hard time with the spring-loaded push-and-turn escutcheon dash mounting. I’m trying reach in from below and behind the switch. With this approach I can only push the switch into place with my finger. So, I can get it close but can not get it to connect with the bezel. The Ford shop manual for the car doesn’t provide much insight how to push the two parts together. Help!
Ken Krynicki — March 28, 2009 7:54 PM
You may try compressing the spring a bit on the bench to make it easier when doing the dash mount, and do a couple of practice runs on the bench.

andy — July 4, 2009 5:08 PM
Andy,
All the gauges for the 67 Mustang? If your going to be replacing the stock gauges you will want to look around for aftermarket units; I have seen a complete cluster with aftermarket gauges going for around $1400
If you want to keep things stock your options are limited to finding NOS (New Old Stock) units which can be expensive or you can clean up and restore nice used ones.

william leister — March 11, 2010 4:38 AM
William,
You will need to update your wiring to 1966 or 65 GT style since your switching from warning lamp to gauges; the under dash harness, headlamp harness, engine gauge feed and alternator harness will need to be updates.

Larry Duncan — April 30, 2010 7:27 PM
Larry,
For your 66 Mustang you will need to remove the column housing and then remove the gear box and shaft as a single unit. Make sure that all retaining slips and hardware are removed from the top of the shaft where it attaches to the column, remove the column and then remove the gear box and shaft.

Ronnie — August 2, 2011 1:03 AM
Water running into the passenger compartment from the cowl is common on the old Mustang. The problem occurs when holes develop in the cowl area just above the heater box and also just above the air vent canister on the driver side. Getting to these areas to repair them is a bit of work and requires removing the heater box and fresh air canister.
There are a few ways to fix the problem.

I’d like to install electric door locks on my 1966 Mustang. I’m not sure of the best way to install the actuators. There seems to be two methods:
1. Install the actuators close to the lock/unlock rod and use a stiff control rod to lock/unlock
2. Install the actuators someplace else within the door and use a control cable to move the lock/unlock rod.
Any advice would be appreciated. Photos would be greatly appreciated!
