    Today there is snow, so it may be awhile before I get it on the road again. I'll let you guys know when I do.

    I'm sure that 289 is more than capeable of getting you in trouble! I've had a few, my dad used to sell cars and mustangs were one of his favorites, the true, original mustangs. Nothing against 5.0 stangs, I just like the classics.

    Right on! I like to get people's experience as well as their particular setups to help put things into perspective, but preference, driving style, along with the other variables all figure in. Theory is great, but experience proves or disproves it.

    The problem is the brake pedal not returning all the way back. Should there be a return spring on the pedal? I added one today and will try it tomorrow.

    Hi Rubicon, there is a small hole in your steering box mount for the return spring to mount, the other point would be the pivot where the push rod meets the pedal. I think Napa sells a spring that fits that nice with one end done and the other needs to be bent

    Well, I'll be damned. I wondered what that hole was for.

    That's exactly what I did. Found a spring at Lowes. Used a longer bolt so I could add a fender washer with a hole drilled in it for the other end of the spring. Work great problem solved. Thanks for everyone's help.
