check and see if any of your lines are pinched or crimped. it could also be a small leak that could be sucking in air. if there is like a foam raising to the top of the reservoir then there is alot of air in the system

I have a 65 Mustang
Hello, I have a few ideas to give you. I am thinking the fuel line may have a hole in it somewhere and that you are losing the vacuum draw at low speed. You may also have condensation in the gas tank or gasahol may have separated and you are getting a glub of something other than gas that is rolling around the inside of the gas tank. When you go to stop, the gas moves to the front of the tank, leaving the heavier contaminates at the fuel pump pickup.
That being said, there may also be a problem with the fuel pump pickup itself inside the tank. As a note, for awhile the gas stations used a foam ball filter in their pumps. But when the netting detriorated, the loose foam balls were injected into everyones' gas tanks. (rice size pellets)
Another thing you can do is add a vacuum gauge to your instrument cluster. It is both nostalgia and functional to use a vacuum gauge. Also the proper carburetor setting is made using a vacuum gauge, turning the air mixture to the maximum attainable reading, then backing off so the vacuum level is about 1lb from peak setting favoring more air(more open).
I would be interested in what you found from inspection.

Battery keeps draining while car
Either you have an open wire somewhere that needs to be taped off, or your leaving something on. ALSO your alternator could be overcharging your battery B/C your voltage regulator is out on your alternator. I bet thats what your problem is. To fix, you have to tear your alternator apart, and replace the regulator in it, or just replace the alternator itself. Hope this helps, James Booth Please Rate This :)

When replacing the distributor you have to make sure it is kept "in time".
If you did not keep it in time, then you will have to retime the distributor.
How to time an Engine
Technique used before and during the reinstallation of the distributor.
Note: Requires two people or a special momentary contact bump switch.
- Find the TDC mark on the harmonic balancer. Clean it off if necessary so you can see it easily.
- Remove the #1 spark plug and place your thumb over the spark plug hole.
- Have your helper bump the engine over carefully using the ignition switch or you can do it using a specially made bump switch connected to the starter solenoid.
- When you feel and hear pressure build up and escape from under your thumb stop bumping the engine over.
- Look at your harmonic balancer. If the TDC mark is not lined up with the timing pointer, then you will need to rotate the engine in its normal running direction with a socket and ratchet or breaker bar placed on the harmonic balancer bolt. Turn the engine carefully, exactly lining up the TDC mark with the timing pointer. If you go past the TDC mark you will have to start over.
- Once the TDC mark is lined up properly with the timing pointer you are ready to install the distributor. Make sure your oil pump driveshaft is in place then place the distributor in the hole. Do not force it. Carefully rotate the distributor shaft until the distributor falls into place. Then put the rotor on the distributor and make sure it is pointing at #1 plug wire terminal on the distributor cap. It may take several tries to get the distributor rotor pointing in the correct direction.
- Once you have the rotor pointing at #1 plug wire terminal on the distributor cap, snug the distributor clamp down and you are ready to install the cap and run the plug wires. Then you can start the engine and set the timing to the specification desired using a timing light.

I have a 1965 Mustang
I am assuming that you have a 4-speed manual transmission?
If the shifter mechanism had a lockout built into it, then you will have to repair it or figure out some way to disable it before you will be able to shift the transmission into reverse gear.
Another option would be to replace the shifter mechanism entirely.

I have a 1964 mustang with a six cyl. all gauges
There is a voltage regulator on the back of the instrument cluster printed circuit board. Chances are this has burned out if no gauges work. You'll need to remove the instrument cluster to get to it.

HOW THE I WIRW THE BACK UP LIGHTS ON MY 65 MUSTANG
off the fuse panel there will be a 3 connector acc plug. Wire from there to the neutral safety switch on transmission. IF it had factory back up lamps the wire from the plug will be red/black. Fallow to trans. it will be also red/black wire. in and out of switch. fallow same wire to trunk. IF 12 volts can be found all the way to rear of car... fine the black wire off of lamps to a grounding point in trunk of car
