    Will a 67-68 hood fit a 65 body

    I can't imagine that it would be even close to worth the hassle.

    1967 Coupe Frame Specs

    Technically, the Mustang doesn't have a frame...it's a unibody. And I love the scoops on my '67. I'm thinking of adding a few more in strategic spots. (JK)

    What would happen if I drove without export brace for a short time?

    The terrorists would win. Don't do it.

    Master cylinder going to cause gray hairs

    I converted to power front disks on my '67 and almost wish I'd stayed w/ manual (disks). The pedal is way too soft for my liking and I'm constantly chirping the tires...and looking like I just got my license all over again.

    289 HELP

    If you have spark then check for timing. Also replace the fuel filter, drain the tank and add fresh fuel if you haven't already. The carb may be shot, dried seals and gummed jets for example...you could try a rebuild kit or just get a new or rebuilt one (probably your best bet). Do go over the...

    Blinkers

    Behind the gauges - mine has a metal clip attached to one of the steel supports back there, but I don't use it because a) it doesn't stay in there and b) the metal clip amplifies the clicking of the relay. So it just dangles but works fine.

    67 coupe side vents???

    Funny how tastes go...those simulated scoops are one of my favorite features of the '67. I like them so much better than the trim peice on the '65, '66, and '68. Go figure. Anyway, if you remove them (i did for paint) there are of course two big gaping holes that open up to the quarter window...

    67 Question

    It's parchment unless it was some kind of special factory deal (check data plate) or a custom job later. My guess is that it's parchment, perhaps faded/bleached a little over the years. Check the color low on the seats beside the driveshaft hump and see if there's not a variation in shades.

    Headlight/relay upgrade (w/o splicing into original harness)

    Both switches have a breaker, the 69 is higher amp b/c of the quad lights. So it's like putting a 20A breaker in your box at home to replace a 15A -- the wiring may not be rated to safely handle the load. However, it's a moot point as stated above as now the system only has to handle a tiny...

    proper order for restoring? headliner/glass

    Warning about carpet first -- you may want to make darn sure your window gaskets don't leak first, they are notorious for being hard to seal. You don't want to start a rust problem right away. Personally I'd bite the bullet and do it from the top down, like it was done from the factory. Just my...

    67 Gauge cluster removal

    Also, put a towel or somethign down over the steering column if you don't want to run the risk of scratching it up.

    Want a laugh? "Expert" technical engine article...

    Are we comparing engine sizes, or the power produced by them? Modern engine design with tigher tolerances, variable valve timing, electronic ignition and especially fuel injection get a LOT more out of the available displacement than the old days. Also don't forget that the ratings were...

    67+

    The long column issue is for early '67's, later ones had collapseable columns with a rag joint. The '68's had a few more safety features (padded consoles, side marker lights, more plastic and less metal inside, different steering wheel), but I like the '67s myself (helps that I have one). I...

    loud "clunk" noise, help please

    I just realized I got an "i.e." hat trick in my previous post. Hooray for me.

    loud "clunk" noise, help please

    You really need to isolate the general source -- i.e. suspension vs. transmission, etc.. Try (in a parking lot, etc. where it's safe) getting up to 15-20 mph (since the clunk happens at 10), put the car in N (if auto, out of gear if manual) and bring the car to a stop. If clunk -- probably not...

    custom headliner

    I haven't done it, but I saw exactly that done to a '67 coupe on "Overhaulin'" or one of those similar shows. They actually put a video monitor in it too, over the back seat so that the (um, non-stock) front seats could recline back and watch it. I don't know if that show puts video clips up on...

    Dimming lights & guages after new alt,volt reg,relays

    check your grounds...the ones from the headlights and the instrument panel (I actually put brand new 10 g grounds to horn mounts when I did my relays). Also the engine block ground. Make sure everything is nice and shiny-metal clean, tight, and of sufficient guage.

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    A question from Mr. Obvious...but did you get the right kind of sender for your gauge? The idiot light (Tach cluster) and pressure gauge use different senders. Otherwise, test your gauge and the wiring to be 100% sure it's the sender at fault.

    What radio options avail in 67 Mustang?

    You're right, I misspoke. Factory option for '67 was AM/Tape or AM/FM, not both. That came later...mea culpa. I think I've seen them in a '69 maybe? But don't many of the 70's vintage radios share simiar dimensions? Are the buttons plastic or metal? I think the early ones are mostly metal...but...
