    Console gauge pod for 69 mounts where ashtray is/should be………

    I finally got around to ordering the gauge pod from MustangsUnlimited a few days ago. I went to put it in last night and it will not fit. I took out the ash tray and mounted the pod with the 4 screws the ash tray was held in with. When I went to put the top of the console back on, the gauge...

    engine casting numbers

    If it's a 390, it may not have one. Mine does not. I'm told that is common on 390 blocks in 68 and 69 Tim

    vin decoder

    You can get a history 999 report from Ford. Takes a few weeks but the one page report you get back should have the door jam code information that you are missing and it will be decoded. I don't remember the number you call. Anyone know the number to call?

    Are you sure it's a 390 car? 69 was the last year for the 390 in the Mustangs. Tim

    Holley Problem

    The Street Avenger comes with an electric or manual choke. First you need to determine which you have. Does the cap for adjusting the choke have two electrical terminals on it? If so, it’s electric. If not, it’s manual. The car having a choke in it only means it more than likely came with...

    advice on buying

    All advice above is right on. It’s a hobby. Always remember that. All these old cars are “money pits”. 99.9% of the time, you don’t come close to breaking even if you sell it or get in an accident. (just asks Pakrat about his ordeal) I have over 20K in my Mach 1 and still need a part or...

    Ford Cobra Engines

    You may want to talk to the Cobra guys I’ve gotten lots of good info from these guys www.clubcobra.com I take it you’re putting this in a Cobra replica? 8K is about twice what I built my 390 for. Don’t know if I hit 400hp but it gets the Mach 1 around darn good. If you do what to buy a...

    390 or 428 build for a '69 mach I?

    The headers were a nightmare both taking them off and putting them back on. I got lucky and only had one bolt that was stuck. Took two days or soaking it in PB Blaster to get it out. If they had not been in good shape, I would have gone with the FPA’s

    390 or 428 build for a '69 mach I?

    It's good to go so far but it's on a 93 octane diet. I haven't ran it too hard yet. I'm still tuning on it. Playing with timing and such. I'm setting at 14 initial and all is good. The powermaster starter spins it when hot with no starting issues. I may move up to 16 this weekend and see...

    390 or 428 build for a '69 mach I?

    Here’s the 390 I just built and dropped in my 69 “S” code Mach 1. I dropped it in a few weeks back. I got advice from D.Hearne and others. I was shooting for the 400hp mark. Don’t know if I made it or not but it sure runs strong. The cam I’m using make power from 2200-5200. Figured that...

    Console gauge pod for 69 mounts where ashtray is/should be………

    If you add the oil pressure gauge, will the gauge on the dash still work? Is there an adapter that’s needed to run both?

    I know I remember someone talking about having one of these. I’m looking for one and can’t find anything. Do they make these? Tim

    A little clarification?

    69 was also the last year for the 390 in the Mustang.
