Today I drove it a few miles. I got it up over 60 and used all gears. It vibrates a lot more than a mercedes but then I suppose that is how it was designed to begin with. Low speeds with a low compression low power flathead 6.

It showed hot on the way back so maybe there is a bubble in the coolant. We did not install the auxiliary pump in the cooling system for the heater, suppose that is a problem?

The steering is unsafe. I suppose an alignment is in order.

There is play in the rack and pinion. Is there adjustment on a mustang 2 rack and pinion?
