    New guy on deployment

    I can see where rural TX might be a challenge for stock headlights. The ram air air cleaner is available new. Does the hood still have the plenum and flapper valves in it? Cobra Jet performance would require getting the CJ cam, and of course the 4V heads with the huge valves and ports. Can...

    New guy on deployment

    Hmmm… Actual ram air in 73 was quite rare, available only on 351 2V cars, which of course your H code is. The air cleaner shown on your engine is totally useless with ram air, of course. Do you have the ram air air cleaner someplace? Why do you "need" HID headlights? Doable, of course, but...

    Shelby-Arning drop question

    Lowering is a side effect of the drop, due to the angle of the upper arm being changed. The geometry change of the alteration moves the roll center of the suspension, causing the 'rolling' to go more against the leverage of the arms. The result is the car is much more resistant to rolling, as if...

    drum to disc v8 65 brake booster question

    Disc and drum require different master cylinder. Get the one you need. For 65-66, I prefer the OEM type booster. However, there is insufficient clearance between that unit and the shock tower for a 60's style iron cylinder. Master Power has an aftermarket master that will clear, however.

    New guy on deployment

    Looks like it'll take days just to blow out all the dust. You should have no trouble with the obvious stuff, the missing wires would have been replaced anyway, along with the belts and hoses. The missing AC stuff should be no problem. As for "modernize", all you really need, if you feel like...

    1964.5 Indy Pace Car Restoration - Paint Questions

    1. I need the Ford Color ID for the Pace Car White. Not the color code (C) info, the actual code to order the paint. Hmmm… 2. I assume that the paint scheme is white with 1 coat of clear coat. Is that correct? No. Cars were not factory clearcoated in those days. Not even metallic colors. 3...

    Transmission not shifting after adding kickdown rod

    Likely an adjustment problem, the rod is telling the trans you have the pedal on the floor.

    Dallas Mustang complaint

    Something is wrong with your story, because it is totally impossible to install a 65-66 upper control arm in a 67-73 car. The 65-66 mounting bolts are spaced 3 3/4", while the 67-73 are spaced 4 3/4". As for the technical help, I deal with Glazier/Nolan, when you call them you will be getting...

    My Shaker is a Flapping.........

    Too easy… Blue hose (#2) that seemingly terminates nowhere at the right rear corner of the shaker is the shaker servo motor connection.

    What style tire should I use for my Stock 1967 GT 390

    If you have a Marti report, you'll know what it had when new. It's nearly certain that it had whitewalls, though. The WSW gives an illusion that the tire is lower and wider.

    Ignition switch

    Huh? 64-66 all had the same switch. The connection was a solid rubber plug (also used in 67) that made it impossible to wire incorrectly. Both the switch and the plug are available new.

    Splash shields

    Yes, all the screws are accessible with the wings installed. Pre-fit them now, though, so you know that all the holes are free and clear when the time comes. If the cowl has been repaired, for example, some of the holes might have "gone away". The cowl and aprons provide the holes, and the...

    manual proportioning valve??

    The proportioning valve and distribution block have totally different functions, and operate independently. I don't see how you could avoid having a distribution block. The master cylinder, even if you use a dual bowl type, will need to feed both front wheels, so you need at least a "T" fitting...

    Need help, problem with pedal bushings.

    The roller bearing kit with new shaft is MSRP $49.95, less than the cost of a tank of gas.

    Build Sheet Decoding Question and Dealership Modification Question

    I've been buying 68-69 GT wheels at junkyards and flea markets since about 1972. Very popular, and even when a car is totalled the wheels end up on another car.
