    Pillar Pads...Yes or No

    I'm not sure which way to go on this. I don't think my '68 Coupe project came with them originally since I don't see any holes and the pillars were painted the same as the interior. So I have 2 options. If I don't put them in, how does the headliner attach at the pillars? The headliner...

    Another engine ID.

    Right. The reason I posted it here was because I felt needing 5.0 engine tech, I had a better chance of getting accurate information here than in the classics. I will be sticking with the mech fuel pump and carb since I've already replaced the pump and rebuilt the carb.

    Another engine ID.

    My apologies, I misspoke. The second letter was a T, not an E. However, if I understand what you've stated and read the link you supplied accurately, the second digit would most likely be a 7, not a T. This would make the code E7TE='87 Truck Ford Engine. Thank you for all the insight you've...

    Another engine ID.

    I just want to make sure I'm ordering the right parts during the rebuild. In regards to the front/rear main seals, timing chain cover & gaskets, there's a difference in the part numbers. The other threads I've read stated that the second digit is definitely an E and not a 7, hence my confusion...

    Another engine ID.

    I've been doing the research and looked at every thread I can find, but still don't have the info I need. Above the starter on my block is stamped: 26 ETTE From what I've been able to find, that indicates my block is from the 80's and it's a truck engine built by Ford, but still doesn't indicate...

    Blown up new edge gt, Question

    If it has a clean title (incl no accidents), I'd definitely take it off his hands. Parts for these cars are too easy to get.

    Installing '68 Coupe Windows

    Yea, I'll report him to the BBB and take him to small claims court. The BBB is really an idle threat, but some people still get intimidated by the idea. Hopefully, that would be enough to just get him to do the right thing. Saving $40 for the new seals helps at least.

    Installing '68 Coupe Windows

    So I installed the new headliner and sent the car to the paint shop. It was my first headliner job and though it wasn't perfect, I was pretty proud of it given my amateur status. Anyway, the paint shop has a glass guy they use and for $100 he installs the glass. I just got the car back and the...

    How to install a Vac-Boost Gauge by a complete N00b

    Wish the pics were still here. I've been wanting to do this for a while. Too bad I'm a "visual" guy.

    Belt Tensioner Help

    I'm not sure if you really have to but why wouldn't you? If you have the same setup as I do, your blower sits right on top of the tensioner and it only takes 3 bolts to remove the blower mount out of the way then the tensioner is easy to get at.

    SN95 Ring & Pinion Set, FR EV1 30 Lb Injectors

    I have the original 3.23 gears out of my '02 Mustang. I pulled them with about 2K miles on them, so they're essentially brand new. I also have Ford Racing EV1 30 Lb Injectors in excellent condition. Maybe 6K miles on them. I upgraded to 42's for my new set up. Make me an offer. You...

    Another suspension build question: Koni Sport Kit

    I've had the Koni Sport Kit for a few years now and absolutely love them. I never was able to get a spec from Koni on the spring rates of the adjustables, but I can tell you the car transfers well off the line. I paid +/- $750 if I remember right. They don't drop as much as the Eibachs do, bit...

    Trunk lid end cap

    Hi all, I'm putting a 68 coupe back together and am wondering if the the trunk lid end cap has a gasket or seal. I can't find one anywhere, but metal on metal seems unusual to me. Thanks!

    What's A Good Price For This Car?

    Experience has taught me that replacing mechanical parts will cause the other older parts (that appeared to be okay) to fail. I restore cars and it's like law; or maybe I just have perpetual bad luck. Example being replacing the motor and expecting the 11 year old drive train to perform without...

    Quiet(er) mufflers? Recommendations?

    Actually, you're not. I had pretty much the same idea in mind when I was looking to upgrade the stock exhaust. I wanted the performance of a racing exhaust, but didn't want the car too much louder than stock. After a lot of research I decided on a Magnaflow catted X into a Dynomax cat back with...
