    Parking Brake Help

    Hi gang, My '68 does not have a parking brake assembly at all. No handle, cable, nothing. I have ordered the entire setup (used) from a Mustang parts yard. Can someone give me a run down of what attaches where and things I need to look out for during installation? Thanks! Kelton

    Vin Plate??

    The door tag was $20 and the rivets are $1.50 each. I think it took right at three weeks from the day I phoned in the order. The quality is great. C'ya! Kelton

    Vin Plate??

    If it is like my '68 door tag, you align the plate, insert the rivet in the hole and drive it in with a pointed punch. Don't hit it too hard, the alumnum bends easy. Also, try not to hit it so hard the punch bottoms out on the edges of the rivet, leaving marks on it. Good luck! Kelton

    help installing tremec 5spd 67 mustang

    Chris, I'm not sure if the TCP mounts drop the engine any or not...I don't have the old ones to compare it to. However, I can't imagine it is dropped much, I have a 9qt. Milodon oil pan and I have pretty good clearance with it. Good luck! Kelton

    One more wiring question (Painless fuse box) and then I'm done*

    That's a good question...maybe if I can find a nice, convenient place under the dash I can put it inside. Problem is I have the Perfect Fit a/c system and the heater/exchange box is huge. Thanks pabear! Kelton

    auto shippers ? Ever used them ?

    My car was shipped to me using Diamond B Services out of Wyoming. Their number is 307-245-3675. They are super-fast and my driver was one heck of a nice guy. My car was an enclosed transport (a regular car carrier but all enclosed) and they secured the car with straps over the tires, so there...

    One more wiring question (Painless fuse box) and then I'm done*

    Just trying to provide clean power sources without hacking into my existing underdash harness. Just seems alot cleaner and simpler with this. Any idea on that ignition switched lead under the hood? Thanks! Kelton

    One more wiring question (Painless fuse box) and then I'm done*

    *for this week. Maybe. :D Anyway, rather than replace my underdash in my '68 FB right now, I bought a Painless auxillary fuse box with 3 constant hot/4 ignition hot circuits. I will be running non-stock items from it, like radio and gauges. Here's a link... Two questions: 1. Does...

    help installing tremec 5spd 67 mustang

    I have a Tremec 3550 in my '68 coupled to a 351W with TCP motor mounts. Although I am running an electric fan, the angle of the engine/transmission seems to be pretty normal. The tansmission crossmember isn't one of the new swap in nits, but rather an old unit that was modified. Don't know if...

    Underdash Wiring Options for '68

    Hello, I have a '68 fastback that I would like to re-do the underdash harness in due to age, splicing, reliability, etc. I would prefer to use a reproduction harness instead of one of the Painless/EZ harnesses simply because I don't want to have to deal with the headaches of mystery wires...

    351w Q's??

    My 351W is a front sump type and I'm running a 8qt. Milodon pan (part number MIL-30926 at Summit). I have power steering and there are no clearance issues. Kelton

    Wiring: Where to buy "push-on" style wire leads

    I am looking for an online retailer that sells the "push-on" style wire leads. They are the 90* type as used on the gauge posts on a 65/66 (maybe other years too) instrument cluster. They would need to have a short length of wire pre-made in so I could solder my run onto it. Anybody know of...

    people w/side exhaust?

    Subs My '68FB has the TCP Stage 1 subs, but not the Stage 2. There is plenty of clearance with that setup. C'ya! Kelton

    Classic Coupe Gauge pods?

    Gauge Pods Here is how I mounted my electric Autometer SportComp nitrous pressure and fuel pressure gauges in my car (although I will be replacing them with oil pressure and water temp since I decided not to use nitrous right now): I don't see why this same setup would not look just as...

    Reverse light plug for '68 with Tremec 3550

    Same thing with mine...it has two small brass pins sticking out of the sender that look like the wiring harness slips over. I can fab something with some old connectors, but just prefered to find a stock-style harness if I could. Thanks guys! Kelton

    Reverse light plug for '68 with Tremec 3550

    Hello, I have a Tremec 3550 in my '68 fastback. I'm trying to find a stock-style plug that plugs into the reverse light switch on the transmission so I won't have to fabricate something junky-looking. Anyone know where I could find this plug? Thanks! Kelton

    people w/side exhaust?

    I have functional side exhaust on my '68 fastback. It is flowing out of a 351W with Hedmans into Magnaflows (I know, I know, I wanted Flowmaster Stage IIs) and it sounds pretty good I think. Clearance for the exhaust really isn't an issue because I have a high capacity Milodon oil pan anyway...
