    Love the Beast

    Just watched it last night, it was the first movie I watched instant on netflix. Great documentary, nice to see he went back to his dads car while he pondered the fate of his own. I didn't know he was in movies until i looked him up in netflix. Dr. Phil was ok but I think Jay Leno hit a chord...

    mustang 5/8 s-plugs

    Here's a pic of where you find the casting number and casting date on most blocks through ~'90 I believe: Rear right corner of the block as viewed from underneath, have to remove the starter as mentioned. If you crawl under there bring some rags, spray gunk and a tooth brush (I used the...

    Modern master cylinder in 1967 w/ 4 wheel disk

    You can get rebuilt original boosters from any parts store for ~$100, be SURE to KEEP your spacer plate if you have the Bendix booster as it won't come with the rebuilds (I think the Midland has a plate that comes off too?). As mentioned JY booster is still a used booster, no telling how long it...

    Battery relocation - what fuse?

    Here's one way to wire it w/o having a hot wire running the length of the car. If you follow the diagrams at the bottom of the page it should only be hot during start. I think because the starter can pull such a high load during use that you can trip most any rated circuit breaker out there...

    FYI idea: dash tach without drilling

    Sorry, rallye pacs went under the dash in '67 I believe I was thinking of the 2 gauge pods I thought I had seen for the valley in the middle of the dash. Jon

    What do 1G, 3G, etc mean on alternators?

    I changed out my small case 1G 65A for a large case 100A (mid 70's). It uses the same number of wires and the same voltage reg. as my stock one did so there was only some wire splicing at the connections for the rear of the alt., pretty simple. I only needed to loosen/lower the lower mount for...

    FYI idea: dash tach without drilling

    Cool original idea, I would think that as long as there is metal under the dash pad (orignal or placed there) you could do the same thing anywhere on the dash? I'm thinking I could use the flat area on my '67 dash where the rallypac would go. To be more stealth I would make your 'L' bracket...

    1966 restoration / resto-mod

    I'm very jealous, that's an awesome meticulous build and the years it took have paid off in spades...:jaw: Glad you posted some dyno numbers, I had a similar build done with my stock 289 - stroked to 333ci, 9.7:1, AFR165's, etc. and hope to get within 10% of your numbers. Everyone told me to...

    should i up my gear ratio

    You could plug in your tire height and see what your RPM would be at different speeds with a calc.: Randy's Ring & Pinion. RPM Calculator. the FMX should be 1:1 in 3rd. If you go too tall (>3.73:1??) you'll end up with a super short and fairly useless 1st gear though so keep 1st in mind when...

    Suspension Suggestions?

    I have spoken with John at ORP a few times while picking my suspension parts and have read quite a few of his posts on many boards. For your stated use much of what you have picked for pricing is way overboard for a street/fun/sporty car. John will even tell you if you contact him, he doesn't...

    1968 Mustang coupe - need aftermarket source for PS inner fender apron

    Here's an article that came out about a month after I had bought the lesser fitting silver panel in the article. How To Replace An Inner Fender Apron - Mustang Monthly Magazine I ordered the black one and it did fit better and looked better, the silver one had a lot of heavy ripples in it...

    Wheels for My 67 Mustang?

    Sharp looking rims but you don't state the width or ht. at least to suggest a backspace. I can only give my experience with my '67, with 15X7 wheels with 3.75" bs and 225/60/15 tires the tire bulge rubbed the fender lip, rolled the lip and the tires clear. If I would have found 4-4.25" bs on...

    chin spoiler

    Other than changing the look of the car a correctly made spoiler will help keep the front end from rising as air gets under the car at speed. From what I've read and depending on the design/wt. of the car you can start feeling the pull down on the front and lesser 'hunting' at speeds above...

    347 Dyno results Flat tappet

    Looks like a nice progressive climb, I wonder where the TQ would drop off at since it was still climbing @6300? I just have a small BG625Jr. for now, it ran great on the stock 289, hope it can be dialed in to work as well on it now stroked to 333. Jon

    Harmonic balancer for 331 stroker?

    First off your balancer must match you flywheel wt., ie both must be 28oz. if that's the case. You can get 3 hole or 3/4 hole drilled ones for a lot less than $180, I think the one from Australia is overkill and I don't see where they state the balance wt? 28oz vs 50oz? Here's an example of a...

    do you consider working on you classic a "break from reality or big hassle" ?

    I think you just underestimated the size/time of the project, I've done it also. My car was running with some exterior rust when I got it, pulled the drivetrain almost 2yrs ago now for a rebuild and haven't installed the new engine/trans yet and after it's running again I still have to take it...

    289 oil psi ports

    I've collected parts to run a braided line from the block to the firewall so I could mount both sensors on a tee there. Between the extension, PS pump and oil filter it was too crowded to mount all that on the extension for me. Jon

    radiator size

    Well the stock one could have been the smaller 20 1/4" W X 16 1/2"H or the max cooling that came out in '68 with 24 1/4" W X 16" H. Obviously the larger is better for cooling. I took the smaller one out of my '67 and there were actually spacers that take up the extra opening space so I swapped...
