No they don't just "sometimes do that" The seller told you a whopper on that. Trouble is It's difficult to form an opinion without actually hearing it but could be vacuum leak, exhaust leak or valve tappets.. A 289? A very fine engine that should purr. Not sound like a Japanese bike

Yes, he told me that it's the transmission that sometimes sound like that. It revs high and sounds like a dirt bike when you step in the gas. It's embarrassing to hear that coming out of your car. Lol I have a 55 Tbird that has a 292 and it purrs just fine.

Does anyone know how to work the air controls on a 1966 mustang? I'm sure this is a standard Ford part.I'm not even sure what they're called, fan / air conditioning / force blown air, etc.. My 1966 mustang came with A/C standard. In the dash there are chrome controls for the air. One lever is horizontal and has about 5 notches that it clicks into place. It slides from left to right and back. Have no idea what that does. Directly underneath are three vertical levers.. The first one is labeled HEAT. I can't figure out if it being in the up position is turning the heat on or off. Next to that is TEMP. Next to that is a blank one. All three slide up and down. Does anyone have any idea how these work? I'm trying to get the heat to work and am freezing my a** off, as it seems to be blowing A/C. 6 Answers
