    steering wheel / horn ring install. how difficult?

    I believe that you will need a steering wheel/harmonic balancer puller. I know Sears sells them, but Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Advance Auto, etc. might sell them too. I've replaced my steering wheel before to a Grant GT wheel(too small really) probably 14 years ago. It wasn't too...

    water pump/ radiator / hose problem

    It sounds like a '67-'70 390/428 radiator is what you need. My '68's water pump also has the later exit, and that 390 radiator has the outlet on the proper side. Check out a fan shroud for a 390/428. You'll notice that the outlet is on the other side from a 289, plus it is also 24" wide...

    Good deal on a T5?

    I believe that the '90 and up T5's are rated at 300 ft/lbs so you might want to try to find one of those. The '89 could be upgraded, but I'd try to find one of the later ones anyway. I just rebuilt a T5 out of an '86 GT although I did change to the '90 and up cluster gear as well as new 2nd...

    Rear axle brake line replacement

    Thanks for the reply! I really hadn't visited the forum that much in the past, so I just thought of a username that no one else had. All the good ones were already taken. If I could've had 68Stang or Mustang68, I would have taken it! I had no idea you had 6stang7 as a username as I haven't...

    Rear axle brake line replacement

    Hello folks, I'm wanting to replace my rear metal brake lines on my '68 while I've still got it up on jackstands. I've already replaced the metal line going from front to rear and the rubber hose that connects that line with the rear axle. My question is how hard is it to replace the...

    which aluminum rad do you use?

    I'll add that I also have a '96 Corvette that I put an aluminum BeCool radiator in. The stock radiator was a aluminum one with plastic tanks. The stock radiator started leaking at the seal of the plastic tank with the aluminum core. I took the stock one out and had it recrimped which was...

    which aluminum rad do you use?

    I agree that aluminum radiators are more efficient than copper/brass ones, but is it worth the additional cost if a copper/brass one is all that you'll need? I was having overheating problems with my 302 in my '68, so I bought a 4 core 24" wide copper/brass radiator for a 390(my water pump is...

    cost comparison and benefits of auto to manual tranny conversion

    I'm in the later stages of my C4 to T5 swap in my '68 myself. I'd recommend trying to get a '90 or later T5 as they have the higher torque rating. I believe you can use '94 and later T5's that are in the V6 Mustangs too, although the input shaft is too long. I believe they are rated at 265...
