    1968 Oil Filter Gasket

    Sadly, not for the last two years. I had surgeries both summers. Getting old sucks! The group I was going with broke up, but I plan on going this summer, even if solo!

    1968 Stuck Lifter

    I've never seen an expansion plug fall out on it's own. I never would have thought of that. Steve

    Another Bad Idea?

    In the early 70's, where I grew up, there was an Austin Healy with a blown hemi in it. The top of the engine was about even with the top of the windshield frame, so the driver would've only been able to see straight ahead. I never saw it drive, or even move from it's spot in the driveway. The...

    1968 Lucas Lights Seem Dim

    Probably a grounding issue, but also check the contacts for the bulb to make sure they aren't dirty or oxidized. The lights aren't side specific. Steve

    1968 Oil Filter Gasket

    To paraphrase Danny Vermin in the movie Johnny Dangerously.... I left the oil filter gasket on once. Once! :ROFLMAO: You take the old filter off and turn it upside down in the drain pan, assuming the old gasket is with it. You partially fill the new filter, put a little oil on the new gasket...

    1968 Lucas Fog Lights

    Hey Harry! I remember you. We hung out and went out to dinner when the wife and I visited Hawaii. That was 18 years ago. Steve

    1968 Fasteners

    I've noticed that Ford bolts always seems different lengths than "standard", such as 1 3/8" instead of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2". I guess when you're big enough, you can special order hardware to your liking.

    1968 Fasteners

    It looks like an oval head sheet metal screw. Nothing special. Try Ace Hardware. They have a decent selection.

    1968 Sway Bar End Links

    Arlie, sorry for the late reply. I looked up the end link kits in my MPC, and it shows all '68/'69 end links are the same, but it doesn't show sizes. Part number is C2OZ-5A486-A. If you need help with that control arm, let me know. I've done a bunch of them.

    1968 Long overdue progress photos from my '68 HCS
