Ford Mustang The First Generation, The Early Years Podcast

Long before we get to disc brake upgrades, Shelby drops and changing gearing ratios, we've got to bake our combustible recipe. Every engine needs five things to roar to life: fuel, air, spark, compression, and timing. Miss just one, and you’re probably listening to this episode on the side of the road. Today, we break down the mechanics behind the machines—and the lessons they teach us about precision, balance, and getting it all to fire in sync. Welcome to Ford Mustang: The Early Years and Ford Trucks, the Early Years Podcasts, where today we will get you tuned up and on the road. Let's bring in our resident expert, Jonathan, welcome back to the podcast -- it's been way too long.That’s the whole recipe for a running engine:Fuel – Correct amount of gasoline delivered into the cylinder.Air – Oxygen mixed in the right ratio with fuel for combustion.Spark – Ignition source (spark plug, or compression ignition in a diesel) to light the mixture.Compression – Pistons squeezing the air/fuel mixture to the right pressure for efficient burn.Timing – All of the above happen at exactly the right moment in the engine cycle.If any one of those is missing or out of sync, the engine won’t run properly.Connect with the show:@mustangpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/mustangpodcast/An Expert’s Guide to Maintaining Your Classic Mustangwww.TheMustangPodcast.com/repairSponsored by: National Parts Depotwww.npdlink.comWith 4 warehouses nationwide, you’ll get your parts fast!"Keep it safe, keep it rollin’, and keep it on the road.

According to today's guest, Joycelyn Armstrong, her dad was a Ford dealer from 1970-1987. Quote, "He bought all of his children cars that were built the year we were born. I was born in 1965, and I still have my ‘65 convertible. He bought the car when I was 15, and it is my first car and still with me." Joycelyn, welcome to the Ford Mustang: The Early Years podcast.Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application============If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?45 yearsIf you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?Not yet - hahaIf you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?She was restored by my brother when my dad bought it in 1980. It was powder blue and rough. She got the works. I promptly killed the motor, so she got a new motor - that’s a whole other story. The best upgrade we’re power brakes in the early 2000s. I weigh a whopping 95 lbs, so getting her to stop was a feat. I spun her 180 degrees to stop in a rainstorm and stared directly at the guy behind me. It was time. What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?Good question. I often ponder if she should get a facelift lift but since I haven’t, I don’t want her to look prettier than me. We look our age, and I am trying to decide if that is a bad thing.

Guest email: Hello Doug, my name is Jonathan. We are from central Washington State. My daughter Sydney and I just finished restoring her 1967 mustang coupe in the spring of 2024 just before her wedding. It was a full rotisserie ground up build. We had to replace quarter panels, floor pans, doors and several other things. It's a c-code 289 2-v but we updated with fuel injection, Borgeson power steering, air conditioning, all new wiring and many other updates. We made our own paint booth to paint it inside our shop. This mustang was originally my dad's, and I drove it in high school and college. My dad also has 1966 and 1968 mustangs too. My daughter Sydney has an Instagram page called letmegoaskmydad that has a lot of photos of the car being built.
