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

    I thought sure the 69 headlight switch was made a bit different. People have been using the replacement headlight switches for 67 Cougars for years. They do in fact directly replace 67-8 Mustang switches, and I believe the earlier cars too. Old switches tend to overheat so a new one is usually a...

    1 wire alternator wiring harness?

    Depends on which alternator you use. The simplest, though not a "1-wire" is a big-body 100 amp 1G alternator. Found on 70's Lincolns, and big Fords like mentioned above. These are larger and sometimes require a longer alternator "adjuster" bracket, sometimes they go right on. Instead of "post"...

    Post up your roll bar/cage pics

    Because I wanted door bars in my 67 coupe but my first trial fit of them told me I was NOT going to climb over the sumbitches all the time. Hinge kits I found looked pretty cheesy so I whittled some out of solid steel. The pin isn't in in these pics. The hinges I made in the same fashion...

    Body work on fiberglass parts

    Keep in mind we're talking about fiberglass here. You can fill as big a gap as you like. Or build an entire Corvette fender. Or in fact an entire speedboat out of it. It's important to differentiate it from polyester "fillers" whose sole purpose is to make a surface smoother and more...

    Body work on fiberglass parts

    Though I don't like "Bondo" brand products these days, they do still make one I do like, fiberglass "gel". Instead of the old runny maple syrup fiberglass, this stuff looks and acts more like body filler. Thus you can easily lay it on to fill like you want. A tad bit of fiber might be good to...

    Choke Wiring

    Put it on the "S" (Stator) terminal on the back of the alternator. This terminal is unused on cars (like ours) that have ammeters instead of ALT lights. Ford hooked their 1970's factory electric chokes this way. I have personally hooked my Edelbrock chokes up this way and they have worked just...

    price check on granada disc stuff

    Perhaps you might prefer "rock shield"? I worked on a car once that apparently a rock had bounced up into the car and wedged itself in between the spindle and rotor at the caliper bracket. By the time the fairly dense driver decided something nasty was going on up there the rotor had darn near...

    tranny???

    Err, don't think you're going to get one then, The only OEM T56 that will work behind a small block Ford is the "Viper" version. Yes, some T56's were in late model Cobras an more commonly Camaros/Firebirds/Corvettes but they are very different. These other T56's are not at all adaptable as far...

    Best RTV for engine rebuild?

    Since I've owned two vehicles that had engines "killed" due to excess RTV clogging up the oil pump pickups, I avoid using RTV as much as possible. The one exception is sealing the front and rear of a V8's intake. ALL other gaskets I seal with Permatex "Aircraft" brush on sealer. The only sealer...

    mounting options??? help

    You have 6 bolt holes the transmission bolted to. The stand's upper arms bolt to the uppermost two holes and the other two arms bolt to the lowermost two. I usually bolt the arm assembly on while the engine is swinging from the lift. Then I slide the rest of the stand on and lower the whole...

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    This could have been a heck of a lot shorter. Degins:"Because I basically just don't want to do anything like that". GypsyR: "Oh. OK."

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    Hmm, for an idea man you're not very open minded are you? Yes, you don't find Granada spindles in "urban" salvage yards. Because they don't BUY Granadas. They are generally in business for late model crash donors. I am not urban and can lay my hands on a set of Granada spindles tomorrow if I...

    console mounted E-brake

    I used the setup out of a Mustang II. Not that those are so easy to find these days but I works. I also happen to be using an MII console but very many of these cars didn't have consoles, the just used a simple cover over the assembly. I cold chiseled a big chunk of the trans tunnel out to get...

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    Now there's a a good thought. Granada spindles are still out there. I bought "loaded" spindles twice. First set $60, the second $50. So new one spindles for $300 interest me very little. However...It has been found that it is actually comparatively simple (to other rack solutions) to retrofit...

    wiring alarm into parking lights

    Try poking around here This link will take you to the door lock section, but there are other places where you should be able to get more info on what you specifally need. The reason I have that link handy is that's the only place that showed how to wire a car alarm into power door locks...

    T5 oil

    Ah, I see what you mean there Hack. I should have been more specific. I tend to think of those as the inner sychronizers. Funny that the parts list I order transmission parts from doesn't list them as "blocker rings" either. And unlike Tremec, they refer to the T5's as WC and non-WC where Tremec...

    67 Strut rods considered lemon?

    I don't see it myself. 67 rods just have a different angle at the end where they bolt to the lower arm. If you look at the catalogs, you'll also see the lower arms are also unique to the 67. Solely because the two bolt holes in each are in slightly different locations to accomodate the strut...

    How can I find a radiator leak?

    Clean it up and let it dry thoroughly. Run to the store and get some Cruex spray. Other "foot powder" stuff might work if the main ingredient is "talc". I know for a fact Cruex works very well though. Spray the stuff liberally anywhere and everywhere you even slightly suspect a leak. Gob it on...

    A noise thats so annoying and wont go away HELP!

    Just a thought. Check out the outer ring of the harmonic balancer. They've been known to separate and make a "jangling" noise at lower RPM's.

    T5 oil

    Try this, non-world class transmissions DON'T HAVE blocker rings. The manual includes blowup pictures of both. Note the carbon fiber rings on the WC but not on the non-WC.
