Another great video, I did not even think of using such a filler neck or that they even made one for vintage Mustangs. I also added a Scott Drake Gas Cap Lock kit on my former 1966 A Code Mustang Fastback that I bought from Mustang Fever in Santa Clara, Cal, it is a unique way to stop gas cap theft or fuel theft, I highly recommend installing one with your original gas cap.

Converted a few of these by making the cut and installing the flapper and welding it up. Good to see someone found a way to swage them in for the guy with no welder.

@AndyKruseChannel Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's a pretty decent product. :)

@williamdozier5190 Жыл бұрын

The reason they made the flapper was because in the 60s there was no unleaded gas , all gas contained lead, when unleaded came out , they did not want you to run regular fuel in unleaded cars, hence the flapper. The nozzle was larger for leaded fuels and would not fit cars that ran unleaded, they used the smaller nozzle.

nice upgrade. Just last week I over-filled my '65 early in the day and by noon the heat had expanded the fuel to the point it was leaking out of the filler neck. That backflow gate will ensure the pump shuts off before things get that full.

@malimag99 6 ай бұрын

Thanks to this video and the comments I think I figure out why my 65 Falcon was poring gas out of the rear shortly after filling the tank. When I look while the car was park I couldn't find any leaks. My son was driving behind me and say that he saw gasoline poring out the rear.

It's also good insurance to add an extra gasket. It keeps the cap out a bit further to ensure it doesn't come in contact with your paint.

Another simple mod I did was get rid of the flat shifter bezel look and make a nice looking one, I used a 1969 automatic shifter bezel and you cut the dome off of it by machining it down and leave about 3/8", (Wish I could post a picture of what it looks like). So you still have the 5/8" base PLUS and extra 1/4-3/8" of the dome remaining. Then you just get longer screws and you still use the rubber accordion boot for the shifter itself and install the newly cut 69 bezel over it, I still use the flat bezel to help hold down the boot but then its done and looks custom too.

I'm not trying to steal your thunder but I hacked a pvc check valve into my fill neck hose when I was 18 on my first 65. I miss the 90's. My reason was a little different. When I would do donuts with 1/2 tank or more a bit of gas would come out of my cap. Not the same reason but the result is the same. Great product Andy! Edit: last 2 videos you sounded a bit congested, hope you're feeling all right man.

What I did on my 1967 Mustang Coupe is. I took a factory gas neck from a 1967/1972 Ford F-100 which are pretty much a straight pipe. I found a aluminum sauce pan that's about 4 inches deep. Drilled a hole for the pipe used a factory style rubber gas for a 67/72 F-100 .Bolted the pan handle to the latch body in the trunk and called it good. It's my version of what the Shelby's used back in the 60's on the GT 350'S. To fill in the factory hole I cut an extra stock filler neck bolted it in place put the stock cap back on and it's done.

Andy! my mustang is 1965. I need your opinion! The car starts perfectly. It's iddling fine on Park! but it died when i put to D. Do you have any experience on this?

@AndyKruseChannel Жыл бұрын

It might be your idle mixture screws as the engine has to work harder once in gear (when you're not moving and not pressing the accelerator pedal). When in gear, the torque converter is steeling all the thunder from the engine until you give it enough gas to overcome that parasitic draw. If you had a pinch more fuel at that point (before you press the accelerator pedal), I bet the engine would stay alive. Try redoing your idle mixture screws (I have a video on that), but once you're done adjusting them while in park, have someone sit in the car with their foot firmly on the brake, put it in gear, and back each screw out a tiny bit (1/2 turn?) and see if it keeps the engine alive. :)

@tonyrussell6776 Жыл бұрын

this may stop kick back splash at the pump but is does not fix the real problem witch is you still can not fill the car at full speed and all pumping stations do have different speed pumps a vented filler neck fixes this you need to add a 3/8 to 1/2 inch vent hose in the filler neck with a check valve, just like your daily has built in its filler neck

@AndyKruseChannel Жыл бұрын

You probably already confirmed that eccentric covers the same path as the stock unit, so it should be actuating your pump. Long shot, but when you installed the pump, did you make sure the pump lever is below the cam and not above it before you bolted it in place?
