    difference between Dextron III and Mercon?

    From what I understand, they have now pretty much merged. I just had my C6 rebuilt & they put Dextron in.

    I need a new C6 Flex plate today!

    Found one at Fatsco Well the one that I found at "Fatsco" is not OEM so I hope that it's not a POS. If it works out, I'll post it. Fatsco is supposed to have transmission parts for nearly every car out there.

    About 3100 lbs. An automatic trans will add some weight to that.

    What radio options avail in 67 Mustang?

    I heard that $100 bezel was a POS Has anyone actually looked at one of these things? I called one of the suppliers ( I forget which) & the guy on the phone went to look at one & was not too impressed with it.

    5 Lug Bolt Patterns

    Well, I tried a junkyard spare from a big Mercury today. The bolt pattern is very slightly off & I couldn't get it on my 1969. I even had a bolt pattern drawing with me & the spare was so close that it looked like a match... Any suggestions? Is there a specific vehicle that I should be looking...

    5 Lug Bolt Patterns

    Thanks. Maybe I should just get a small rim for a 1969, say a stock 14" and get a small tire for it. All I want is a reliable spare.

    5 Lug Bolt Patterns

    Thanks.. But does that mean that I can't use any of the donuts in anything newer than mine? I have an original space saver spare that's 35 years old. I wanted to replace it with a nice small donut that I can use whenever I'm driving the car & I'll also get some extra room in that tiny trunk. Do...

    5 Lug Bolt Patterns

    I'm looking to find a spare in a junkyard that I can use in my 1969. Does anyone know if the new bolt patterns are the same on all current Fords & will they fit on the 69's? What about the Taurus rims?

    Newbie Help Pls

    Didn't you say that you have a lot of rust? I wouldn't be worrying about changing engines right now. Your first question was about carbs. I would just replace the 1BBL that's on there now with a new one & get the car drivable for a couple of hundred before spending thousands to swap a new engine...

    One for all the Shelby Cobra experts

    When I went to one of my first SAAC meets in the 1970's at Hershey, PA, there was a beautiful Daytona Coupe on display that got damaged because dozens of people were rapping their knuckles on the car. They wanted to see for themself that it was really aluminum bodied. Well, aluminum flexes very...

    Make my '67 Coupe Handle

    The Rear Bar reduces Understeer Actually an oversteering tendency will be reduced by locating the anti-roll bar at the front where it will reduce the cornering force and adhesion of the front tires. If the vehicle understeers, the anti-roll bar should be located at the rear.
