    What type of muffler?

    Yeah, I had mine with a side exit just in front of the rear wheels. A little quieter but not much. If you squint, you may be able to see it in the purplish thing in my avatar.

    What type of muffler?

    I had those on my '68 in high school. They were pretty loud, but I like my vehicles a little on the loud side :) they had decent sound cuality IMHO. Like they guy above said, try youtube or something like ..:: ExhaustSoundClips.com - Hear It Before You Buy It! ::.. before you decide.

    To inject, or not to inject.. that is the question...

    Well I wouldn't bother, but not really for any reasons that are relevant to anybody other than myself :D I grew up in Silicon Valley, I just got burned out by electronics. I got into these cars specifically BECAUSE they didn't have all that stuff on em. In fact, when the warrantee is up on my...

    Length of Resto time?

    Well, our car was road-worthy when be bought it - we drove it home - but we took two years to get her up and ready for shows.

    Where Is Your Stang Going?

    I've got mine more or less where I want it right now. A cruiser mostly with enough extra oomph to get a red light holeshot should I need to get over into that other lane :D eventually I may add an AOD, but since my C4 is freshly rebuilt, that'll be a looooong way down the road. Some may wonder...

    What type of muffler?

    I just sold my Flowmaster Delta Flow 40's - everybody has a different opinion, but I never liked the Flowmaster sound. Not enough meaty rumble, too much drone. I got myself a pair of $15 Cherry Bomb glasspacks and like this sound much better. Magnaflows are also really nice sounding mufflers...

    Post your Average Fuel Mileage and Car here.

    '67 convertible below, driven pretty sanely. Dynoed 161hp @ 4100, 229,5 lb-ft @ 3100rpm. I have been using her as a daily driver since December '07, and in 3394,1 miles, I have used 230,63 gallons of fuel for an average of 14,72mpg. However, in the last three months I've averaged 15,3mpg and...

    Need advice on tracking down my old fastback

    TTT. Good advice on the VIN, good thing you held onto it. Any other methods besides VIN? I'd love to find my Dad's '71 Camaro SS/RS he bought new and traded in '79. No idea what the VIN was. Thinking about going to the dealer and seeing if by any slim chance they still have sales records from...

    Getting Married - Need Help - San Jose, CA

    The Vintage Mustang Owners Association in San Jose's pretty active - did a lot of shows with 'em when I lived there, and there's a lot of kind folks who probably wouldn't mind lending a hand. Too bad yall didn't get ball-and-chained before '05, I'd have been glad to drive you in my '67.

    how rare?

    It's not common, but it's not rare. My droptop has 'em - original equipment was same as yours, minus the air conditioning.

    SBF block heater?

    Hey, it's cold here for my California ass. I'd still like to have it if for no other reason than the quicker heat.

    SBF block heater?

    I've been thinking about having one on my Mustang...faster heat, reduce the cold engine lean spots, less wear and better winter MPG's! Does anybody make one that y'all know of?

    C4 shift points?

    I've seen it shift as low as ~1100rpm on my '68. Normal driving for me, it'll shift at 1400-1600, and on medium-hard driving anywhere from 1800-2500. Rarely does it ever even get to 3000. WOT shift point for a stock setup is 4400.

    Rear Brakes

    TTT. Have this same exact problem on my SSBC kit, but also had on my '68 as well which had the Granada disc swap. No idea what causes it...

    RECOMMENDED SHOP IN THE BAY AREA??

    I'll second that. One deal with them and we went back to Mustangs Plus for parts. Pretty thoroughly disinterested folks.

    I hate Autozone

    Depends on the store - can't lump every AutoZone into the same category.

    Confused about purchasing "Scott Drake" Products.

    Yup, Scott Drake just doesn't sell directly, only through parts houses. I got all mine at Mustangs Plus in Stockton, CA.

    Need an alternator, will autozone work?

    I work at AutoZone right now. Yes, they will be the right ones, I have looked at them and sold a few. I would, however, stay away from the Valucraft units - Duralast is OK most of the time, but I really wish we had a Duralast Gold (non-remanned) unit. I run the equivalent to a Duralast from...

    Anybody bother to record MPG on their steeds?

    I think I got it! Gapping my plugs last night, they were black with a hint of brown-tan on the ends of the electrodes. Guess even though the WOT tuning is spot-on, it's running a wee bit rich otherwise.

    CHOKE? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING CHOKE!!!!!!!!!

    Had a manual choke in my '68 that really never worked...granted, we didn't get much cold weather in CA, but on the odd morning that did hit the 30's it really didn't need it that much. My '67 (not by choice) has an electric choke on it now, although this one's so good-natured in the cold I'm not...
