vibration thread - aluminum driveshaft cures it! Reply #64 – March 01, 2012, 10:04:27 PM I'm 35, but my first vehicle was a '74 Jeep J10 truck..it had points. Nothing like carrying a couple extra sets and a small dwell meter in the glove box, changing the sumbitches on the side of the road...finally I got the ignition fixed where it wouldn't eat the points, only to have charging and alternator issues. Always something going on with that thing. When it ran right, it ran great...when shiznit went wrong..I'd rather have walked barefoot though knee deep prickly pear cactus. Finally parked it and got an Escort GT that was problem free until the water pump went out...that was an expensive lesson. Quote Selected

Reply #66 – March 01, 2012, 10:48:37 PM Hahaha reminds me when my dad had his spark plug cleaner/tester station and you could us the tester to charge the points then toss the points at some unsuspecting person and watch them get lit up when they tried catching it.

vibration thread - aluminum driveshaft cures it! Reply #72 – March 02, 2012, 08:29:05 PM I don't know why some people have trouble with the stock shaft going vibrating with 3.73s and some (like me) don't. Turbo Coupes had 3.73s and a steel drive shaft and they were fine. Maybe some drive shafts were built better (less balance weights) than others? Quote Selected

I have dug up tons of threads from other forums with Mustang guys who have had the same problems. I just hope that is my problem and I can put this all behind me. Quote Selected
