    vintage style 289 build

    weiand also has a new Action Plus intake that is very similar to the old F4B intake, i believe ford racing still sell the A321 intake too and all of the mustang parts places will have a copy of the old cobra intake that is made by Blue Thunder. also the new Stealth intake still looks pretty...

    The "Identify these hubcaps" game

    BTW, though they measure out to 14" they are actually for a 13" wheel as that was all that was available on the mustang II. my 78 had the same caps but those are for an earlier model than what i had, someone had switched them out on my car when it was restored....and yes i did say restored, i...

    EGR Pros/Cons Info Request

    actually the PCV valve is part of the emissions system, and in 66 probably the only emissions equipment, but it actually helps ring seal to some extent. :nice: BTW, some california cars in 66 had emissions control devices, not sure what, if any, they would be for a mustang but don't think that...

    Where to buy throttle position solenoid for 2100 Carb

    exactly, i have an early 60's 4100 in the garage with a dashpot and also an early 70's 2100 with a solenoid. it boils down to this, solenoids need electricity to function and dashpots do not

    AC donor car 72 cougar...

    yes it should swap over. there may be a few little pieces that aren't technically correct for a 72 (not 100% sure on that either) but functionally the system should work the same.

    Alternate 69 Mustang serial number locations

    if it is the original motor it would the 250 not the 300. i also wouldn't count on the VIN being stamped on the engine block but it could be, if it is i believe it would be located on a machined flat on the front of the motor under the thermostat housing. it sounds as if someone used his 6...

    ford engine identification

    not all blocks were stamped with the vin. most of us Ford guys just go by the date codes on the block, if they are within a few weeks before the car itself was built then there's a real good chance it's the original engine. we aren't all high and mighty about numbers matching this and that like...

    1970 Sports Roof with vinly??

    well actually ford did offer trailer hitches for the mustang, at least 67-73 anyway, not sure about 65-66. if your book doesn't show hitches for 67-73 then it may not show full tops for fastbacks either

    1970 Sports Roof with vinly??

    hmmmm, that's very interesting. what is odd to me though is that both of the 70's had full vinyl tops not that the 3/4 tops. i have seen 70 fastbacks with the 3/4 top treatment as well and they don't actually look too bad if done right and the paint and vinyl combo works well, like acapulco blue...

    Coil over performance and prices

    i like both the TCP and GW kits myself, though i will probably end up with a custom coilover based on Opentracker's roller pieces and TCP coilover assemblies up front with a TCP G-Bar out back. one thing i do really like about the TCP coilovers is their new dropped UCA shafts, that way you don't...

    1970 Sports Roof with vinly??

    i have not been able to prove it but i believe that you could order a vinyl top kit from Ford and have it installed at the dealer, in other words a dealer option and i also believe that many 69/70 fastbacks were sold new off the lot with vinyl tops, though they did not come that way from the...

    1970 Rack & Pinion Fitment help!

    stay far far away from flaming river racks. personally i would go with either Home Page , www.steeroids.com or Unisteer Performance Products all of these are in the same general price range as the FR piece of crap and are much better systems and I think all of them will allow the use of your...

    options for engine bay paint/coatings

    for a driver car i actually prefer a glossy finish, or even a clear coated one. i did the engine bay in my 69 with dupli-color ceramic engine paint, first with the ceramic semi gloss black then with the ceramic clear, the result is a nice deep gloss that is very easy to keep clean. i think i...

    3 vs 2 point seat belts

    i've had a lot more 3 wrecks, mostly when i was in high school and shortly after, very few since, some were my fault, some were the other drivers' and some where i was a passenger and there have been enough very similar ones for me to form an accurate picture. the belts in the wife's escape are...

    3 vs 2 point seat belts

    i think what it comes down to is personal experience and preference....period. due to my personal experiences i choose to wear only the lap belt or no belt at all. believe me, i've been in accidents wearing no belt, lap belt and 3 point belt retractable belt and the only time i was injured at...
