    PLEASE Help - Power steering just not right on my 65 Fastback

    This is untrue. We have 2 68's here with the power assist setup and both feel just as good as a late model car. If it doesn't feel that way, something is wrong. That being said, did you adjust the steeing box on your car? I adjusted the steering box on one of the 68 cars and made it too...

    Which oil to use?

    I just switched to Shell Rotella T because since the oil companies have removed the minerals from the oil we have been wiping out flat tappet camshafts. We wiped out a cam in the 68 Stang we built and in a 66 GTO we built. I suggest you read this bulletin if you are running a flat tappet cam...

    Power Steering Conversion Help

    Do you have the drop bracket for the headers? Mine also seems to vibrate just a little bit when the vehicle is on the hoist in the air. Like I said, mainly left.

    Power Steering Conversion Help

    I converted my 68 from manual steering to power with the flaming river set up, including the drop bracket for headers. The only problem is, when I turn the wheel, left mainly, when the car is not rolling, the whole system vibrates violently. The steering seems to work well driving down the...

    Odometer Blinking out

    I have a 99 and the odometer occasionally blinks out and comes back on if I hit the top of the dash. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

    Body Parts

    I don't know about the parts you're asking about but I just purchased a repro hood and decklid for my 68 fastback from NPD and the parts are excellent. Perfect match right down to the water drains in the decklid, all emblem holes already drilled too. The packing was fantastic so they don't...

    Exhaust gaskets

    It's a hollow tube and it works great for finding more than just exhaust gasket leaks. You can find ticks, knocks, and bad bearings in accessories like Alternator, Power Steering, Idler arm, Smog Pump, etc.

    To much for this King??

    I would be skeptical of the miles. Don't forget, it wasn't illegal to tamper with the miles until about 1985. Also, I don't think it came from the factory with the white wall tires. If it only has 5k miles on it where are the tires? When purchasing a car this old, don't put any value in...
