    Speedometer question

    First thing that comes to mind is the speedo gear. Transmissions, tires sizes, and rear end ratios will all lead to changes in the speedometer readings. There is a little plastic ring with teeth that goes on the end of the speedo cable into the transmission. Change the number of teeth, change...

    Gasp! Water in floorboards.

    My car is kept in a climate-controlled garage and truth be told, probably will see very little if any rain. But I still want to make it leak proof. It is not a daily driver (have a work car) but will be an occassional driver, maybe around 5,000-6,000 miles per year. Thanks for the continued...

    Favor from '67/'68 owners?

    Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again, but the idler arm bracket had been removed from the bottom of the car, so I ordered a new one. Problem is, I have no idea where it mounts to? I have the Osbourne Manual, but it doesn't do a very good job of locating the bracket. A couple of photos...

    Gasp! Water in floorboards.

    So, I do the old pitcher of water in the cowl test. No drips on driver's side, gushing like a river on the passenger side. Hmmm, not good. But I looked up under the passenger side (heater box is gone and a new Classic Auto Air system is in) and I can see the bottom of the cowl and it look...

    Favor from '67/'68 owners?

    Thanks! Thanks guys! You talk about looking in the wrong place...I would have *never* thought to look under the steering column. Found it right away with the descriptions. Thanks again! Kelton

    Favor from '67/'68 owners?

    Would someone with a '67 or '68 be so kind as to snap a photo for me of where the parking brake cable comes through the firewall and where the opening is in relation to the two bolts that hold the parking brake assembly to the firewall? I have been able to find those two holes (for the bolts)...

    Parking Brake Help!!

    Parking brake I just went through the same thing with my '68...PO had removed the entire assembly, no handle, no cables, no lines. I ordered a who used setup from bobsford.com in Portland. I laid everything out on the garage floor to see how it all fit together, with the help of the Ford...

    Wiring weirdness - Your thoughts please

    Wiring weirdness - Your thoughts please

    I've looked everywhere I can think of on the under dash and can't find a part number tag, but I am thoroughly convinced it is a '67. The tail light harness I was able to use by re-using the old connectors up front. The wiring is the same. The turn signal switch won't work. Not only are...

    Wiring weirdness - Your thoughts please

    Okay, so I order a new tail lamp harness and turn signal harness for my '68 because of some flaky problems with my wiring and I figured now was as good a time as any to freshen up the 35 year old wire. I pull the turn signal switch, cut the old wires and get ready to poke the leads from my...

    Power Steering Question

    Thanks Ronstang...I'm thinking (hoping) it was just a bad hose. Meweehaa, Im not sure...the pump came on my car when I got it. I will try to get a picture of how it is mounted for you though if you'd like? Thanks! Kelton

    Power Steering Question

    Hey guys, Will a new 5.0 style power steering pump produce too much pressure for a stock (but new) '68 power steering line? Should there be a pressure-relief valve anywhere on the system, or is there even such an animal? One of my hoses blew apart at the coupling the other night and I'm...

    kick panel speakers

    I have them in my '68 and they look great. I don'tr have a good picture of them right now, but will try to get one this weekend. The amount they stick out will depend alot on the size and type of speaker, plus, the panel is fabbed so it sticks out about 1 1/2" without the speaker. I have 6...

    Parking Brake Help

    Thanks guys! I have the Haynes Repair Manual (1964 1/2 thru 1973) but the only parking brake diagram is for a pedal type. I have been thinking about ordering the Ford Manual on CD from NPD. Anyone know if it would it have the diagrams on it that I would need? And thanks for that link...

    Parking Brake Help

    Thanks Dave! I seem to remember on my '65 that there was an "arm" of sorts on the transmission crossmember for the parking brake cable to run to but my '68 crossmember doesn't have it. At any rate, we'll see how everything lays out when I get to it this weekend and hopefully it won't be...
