    67 VIN Location used for title/registration

    I lived in Floriduh, nothing there can surprise me. There are some states that didn't even have car titles in the sixties. But the buck tag is not to be used for title purposes. It is easy to buy a reproduction, or get one from another car. Did you know if a Ford dealer didn't special order a...

    67 VIN Location used for title/registration

    The buck tag under the hood, and the warranty tag on the door are not legal for title or registration.

    Hipo 289 Induction

    Well, since we have experts on multiple carbs reading this thread, does anyone have any insight on the new Air Gap dual quad intake for the 351W? My cousin is building a Cobra kit car with a 351W based 408 stroker, and dual quads along with big block valve covers would look cool.

    Hipo 289 Induction

    Actually I have friends with the webers, and have worked on them, they certainly have a WOW factor going for them, and they run well well with a cam change. Hey, Shelby used them because they were better then 2x4 or 3x2 carbs. But the cost is up there, and imo they are not the best for a daily...

    Hipo 289 Induction

    The Le Mans cam was very streetable, and could idle at around 700 RPM.and pull to 6,500. I never had any problem with it loading up. I can't remember, I think I was running one range hotter plug then they called for, I think they were AFR32? instead of the 22 they called for, sorry it was long...

    Hipo 289 Induction

    Years ago I bought a 66 Shelby with the 2X4 set up. I could never get it to run as well as a single 4bbl. I finally replaced it with the 3X2 set up and was extremely happy with the way the car ran. When you floored it, it was like you gave it a 200 hp shot of nitrous, and it ran even better when...

    Anybody running a toploader in a '69-70?

    I have had two 69 Shelby GT350's, both had Fords shifters for the toploader trans. They did not mount to the console, they both had a "ring" on the shifter you pull up for reverse.

    67 Quarter Window ?

    I don't think they are replaceable. I think that after they were assembled, the shaft end is peened over with a press. Typically they do not wear out, just bind up. If that is the case with yours, soaking with WD40 or similar spray will help get them going. Clean them out real good, then use a...

    How does the Z-bar work?

    In the picture, part number A16 threads into the side of the block. Ford changed the block casting, and newer engines do not have this boss, but I am not sure what year the change was, so your engine may not have this threaded hole. I believe there is a retro mounting kit available for the newer...

    Master Power Breaks Disc Break Conversion Kit

    I have not used the complete kit, but I have the power brake booster and master cyl. on my wife's 65 convertible. It has been 9 years with no issues. The install was easy, but I did find out that the booster is not an exact replacement for the original Ford piece, the studs on the brake booster...

    Drip Rail Removal

    I have done this on a 68 coupe many years ago, and it was a lot of work. the metal is easy to warp when your welding, and you could end up using a lot of body filler. I think the job took about 22 hours of shop labor, and that didn't count any paint work. But I agree on some cars it does add to...

    This might be a dumb question... Cowl Vent

    The easy way would be to remove your heater and driver side air vent. Or you could pull both fenders, the hood, pop out the windshield, drill out three hundred spot welds, and then you could clean it from the top. :eek:

    '68 Dash VIN missing

    If you read the door plate on a 65-6 it clearly says Warranty plate. This is in no way a vin plate.

    Parking lights on a 66

    It wasn't until the 68 model year that cars had the parking lights stay with the headlights. 68 was the year the govt. mandated many safety changes, side marker lights, padded steering wheels with colapseable columns, larger inside rear view mirror, bigger arm rest pads covering the door...

    question for the paint and body people

    In my shop we always coat bare metal with self etching primer first. Epoxy primer second.

    '68 blinker hood and stripes... looks?

    There was a stripe option in 68 that started at the turn signals and went to the windshield, I believe it was only offered in flat black.

    Motorcraft FL1 HP?

    I don't know if it is different internally, but the metal case is much thicker, I guess for higher pressure oil pumps.

    convertible window chrome

    Those are stainless, and can be polished, I do not think they are being reproduced.

    Motor and tranny identification

    Definitely a truck transmission. Not a toploader. That looks like it could be a New Process truck transmission.

    New Top Time - Need advise on price

    I live near you, and athough I do not know the new owner, Fred Glazier always did quality work. Depending on what they need to do, that price may not be out of line. Typically when replacing a top on an old Mustang, many other wear items must be replaced or repaired. You can save money by...
