    Gas Mileage

    Have you looked at the plugs? The color can indicate all sorts of tuning problems including too rich or too lean. In my experience with C-code and A-code cars is that 15-20mpg in mixed driving is normal. I got 12-15 with my S-code. Tuning matters, as does everything already mentioned, but I...

    1967 Coupe Restoration

    The shifter handle is from a deluxe interior, plus you have the upgraded stereo, neither is a guarantee that it had a console but they increase the chances. As mentioned the chrome shifter plate is the standard one. I do not know what it was called but the metal bracket that bolts to the...

    Update

    There's a lot to like, the exhaust is awesome, did you do that? LeMans stripes on the rear window and , is that a '67 hood?

    I Need Help, I Am About To Buy A 1967 Mustang

    I will not weigh in on what the price should or should not be. Personally I'm bored by factory restorations, just not my cup of tea unless it was some rare variant or there were less than a thousand of them made. I've added 4 wheel discs to mine (used to only have front disc) plus overdrive and...

    Parking Lights On Aftermarket Valence (1967)

    I just spent about an hour out there looking it over. Sometimes it is my best advice to walk away from a frustrating problem and come back the next day. So with a fresh set of eyes (and attitude) I discovered what was wrong...the fiberglass valence was not at a different angle or anything I...

    They Painted Her Last Weekend!

    Not specifically, but it is not running "right". To be honest I've only got about 2 hours of run-time on the engine, almost all of that in the garage/driveway but with a few illegal trips around the block trying to adjust the TV cable. I've adjusted the mixture a few times, the float level a...

    They Painted Her Last Weekend!

    I started a blog when it went away for body and paint. Can see much more detail here: http://sylvia1967blog.wordpress.com Basically, to answer your question it is just a matter of putting it back together, or so I thought. While at the shop they managed to break my transmission cooler, will...

    Parking Lights On Aftermarket Valence (1967)

    I am putting my car back together after getting it painted, I have the '67 Shelby replica hood (short version) and the R-model (type) lower front valence. It looks like something has changed since the retainers for the parking light buckets will NOT line up, not even close. The core issue is...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    I know this is the SN197 section, but somewhere in here is my '05 mineral grey GT, so this is technically a reply :-D Snapped this shot yesterday, expecting to have her back home very VERY soon.

    I Need Help

    I did not know they went that long without color and digital versions. When I first learned to wrench it was on my '68 Fairlane using the proverbial Chiltons from the parts store, of course the same manual was for several other years and even different cars including the Torino. The actual...

    I Need Help

    Back in those days the FoMoCo factory tech manual was one volume and all illustrations were black and white. Hell the televisions were too!

    Project: Return Of Sally

    Neat story, and glad you got the old girl back. I'm still in touch with the current owner of my 1967 S-code 4-spd fastback. We made a deal that if he ever sells it I get 1st chance to match he price...that deal was shaken on around 1985. Those calipers look like aftermarket replacements...

    1966 Mustang Coupe Restomod

    I love the color! Just had a very similar one put on my '67, as in just this weekend. In my case it is a PPG color-match of a Lexus code from 2015 called "Sonic Titanium or something like that. If you'd have told me 40 years ago that I'd put Toyota paint on my classic Stang I would have called...

    Post Pics Of How Your Classic Mustang Currently Sits

    Thanks! The '67 fastback I used to own (my 2nd car ~35 years ago) had the 390 & 4speed so I left it almost completely stock, this vert was a lowly C-code, so as one of a few hundred thousand I didn't feel bad chopping it up. There's very little stock Mustang left but I am torn 50-50 on putting...

    Lots and LOTS of sanding done, and much more to follow. Got the new doors hung, had them fill in the holes from the emblems and antenna with steel, no lead or bondo.

    Post Pics Of How Your Classic Mustang Currently Sits

    Here's a picture of it in the morning before I had it towed away fro months. I know I just took a "selfie", it is the second time in my life to do that and in this rare case I am not ashamed, well maybe just a little. You can see the tri-color theme is not just the running bars on the horse with...

    Can An Aod Be Fitted With An Electronic Control Module?

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm finding the adjustments of the TV cable to be hard to get exact, and they seem to move some over time. I suspect there may be some slight binding within the cable and sleeve. I'll look into rectifying that. It just occurred to me that there could be some gadget...

    The Reenmachine DOHC '67 Shelby Clone Convertible Progress

    Well daddy, I do not know what you have on it now but I've always been a fan of the Hallibrand design. They are at home on Cobras but looks great on Mustangs too. Aftermarket copies are available in bigger sizes, I've even seen them with working knock-offs, the ones in the picture are just...
