    Suspension Confusion

    your dads car definitely has some issues with the shock towers sagging or John is correct in thinking that it has been wrecked at some point in it's life, it may have been repaired well enough that you can't see any damage, though. AFAIK all mustangs used the 2.75" studs on the control arm...

    DIN Radio install into 1969

    yeah, i would rather pay the big bucks for the JME bezel than pay 100 bucks for that thin flimsy abs plastic POS the other places sell. i just wish that someone would make something more like the original plastic piece with the chrome plating on the raised perimiter and the correct sharp edges...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    well ok good luck then but i really do think you'll be regretting not having the ignition control feature later on, then again maybe you won't and you'll be perfectly happy with the EZ-EFI. i had considered it at one time myself for my future long rod 351w but decided against it because of the...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    i still think you should go with the system you already had picked out, the Mass-Flo system. I'm sure Reenmachine can help you if get into trouble with it, though i doubt you will. yes it's a little bit harder to install the EZ-EFI system but i really would want something with an ignition...

    Ultra Eleanor Style wheels??

    they are exactly the same wheels as the old edelbrock wheels, ultra made them for edelbrock, or rather edelbrock just put their name one.

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    i wasn't comparing them, just stating that there were other options for tuning the EEC-IV system than just the custom chip from Mass-Flo and if you'll notice i said for all-out tunability i'd go with the FAST system. for parts availablity and peace of mind out on the highway, though, i'd go with...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    keep in mind the EZ-EFI has no ignition control function so you're at a loss there right from the start. my personal opinion is with the engine setup i remember you planning on and if you were to run a mild turbo or cebtrifugal blower the Mass-Flo system will work just fine, it may not be as...

    Anybody try TCP's new Bolt in front coil over Conversion?

    you can go lower but like any good coilover shock TCP recommends keeping the suspension set so that the shock is roughly halfway in it's in travel, within 1" or so. yes you can go lower but you will compromise the handling of the car slightly, ALL coilover shocks are this way and even all stock...

    I've just witnessed a great car!

    yep. those are the ones. my Rikens are very similar to those already so they would be the perfect "track day" wheels to put some sticky rubber on and keep the Rikens for street driving so they don't get messed up so bad

    I've just witnessed a great car!

    even though i have 17" wheels on the stang i prefer 15" wheels and have an old set of Riken "mesh" wheels that used to be on it that i'll be using on the 69 cougar and i'll probably also be buying a set of 15"x7" GT wheels as well just so i can have some variety and for car shows. i may ...

    1969 Mustang export brace follow up questions

    i did have to realign the fenders a little bit but nothing i couldn't handle, they didn't really move that much believe it or not. personally, i agree with Doug at GW, the SFC's and torque boxes won't have much of an effect on spreading the car back apart. it's actually more likely that you...

    E85 Questions

    actually if you raise the compression to 10.5:1 or higher any mileage you lose from e-85 over the 9.5:1 combo on dino juice will be negligible, in fact you'll probably pick up a mile or two, but only if you raise the compression. the simple fact is that the higher the compression (within reason)...

    1969 Mustang export brace follow up questions

    yeah 1" on the driver side is really nothing at all. mine had sagged between 1"-2" in on each side towards each other and the passenger side had also sagged in toward the firwewall at least an inch, the driver side had sagged a little as well but less than 1/2" so it lined it lined up pretty...

    70 motor mounts??

    you need to check the engine bay measurements against what they should be stock. do a search for 70 frame dimensions on here and/or google and you should find them pretty easy. my guess is that your shock towers have sagged pretty badly over the years. i know mine did, i had to use a porta power...

    15 inch steel wheels

    mine are painted silver so they look like a factory style rally wheel, though right now they are waiting for me to find a ranchero to put them on. they do actually look very similar to a 70 style rally wheel like what was used on some mustangs, racnheros and torinos. those only had 5 slots and...

    15 inch steel wheels

    you need to look for a set of dodge cop car wheels. they are a 15x7steel wheel and have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern and the correct backspacing as well. i'm also pretty sure you can use just about any mustang/ford dog dish cap on them as well for a cool look. these wheels have 6 little cutouts in...

    Long time no see...

    there are actually quite a few of us old timers around, but sadly SuperDave is not. he started losing his sight and had some other problems and had to bow out from SN. last i heard though, he was doing a little better and actually starting to get some of his sight back. IIRC he had a stroke or...

    I've just witnessed a great car!

    ya know the whole car reminds me a lot of Seans cougar, actually. but to be really honest i don't like Seans console all that much either. i guess when it comes to the interiors of the mustangs and cougars i pretty much think Ford and Merc did just about the best that could be done with...

    Quick Photoshoot

    you should put a cougar eliminator scoop on it, basically the same as a boss '9 scoop but shorter.

    I've just witnessed a great car!

    the console looks like a hackjob to me, probably one of the nicer accomplished hack jobs i've seen, but still a hackjob. it really needs to all be covered all in black or at least match whatever color it's upholstered in and the double din stereo looks out of place. the door panels are ok, but...
