All, I made a jet run down to Vancouver Washington to meet Tim (Midnight Special) for a late lunch yesterday. Maiden voyage for the new blower motor on a long trip (3 hours each way). Very hot for Washington standards, 90 degrees. Car was absolutely flawless! 80 miles an hour is about 2,600...

Help, I bought a dash conversion product for my brother-in-laws 1967 Fastback for Christmas from Haneline. One of their brushed aluminum conversions to give you aftermarket speedo, tach, and 4 gauges. They sent it with the speedo and wire harness on back order. Then they claimed they could...

All, Amy brought Satan over to my house today and Mike Godwin, Amy, and myself attacked her heating problems. Her engine runs great, with no noises and this car with the new white stripes is gorgeous!! The interior is very nice. The underside is not as bad as people have said. This car is a...

Ok, removed the blinker hood to put on my cowl hood to cover the blower. As soon as I got it on the road the right blinker indicator light comes on and fades off and then stays on all the time the headlight switch is either in the park or headlight setting. Turn the switch off and every thing...

All, The GT/CS that Janice Brulc has registered in the site to my knowledge is in the "bay" area. Might be near Monterey. I have an old e-mail from Janice and asked her if she could find the new owner. She indicated she may know who this person is. I am trying to visit Tim and Renee over a...

All, I gave permission to Jon to delete my “very sad” thread. What is done is done and I agreed with Jon. I hope that all of us will never be quiet again. I am ashamed that I kept quiet as long as I did. But we all just want to get along…… Not to cause waves. We all hope for the best in...

All, Our car is getting closer. New Ramjet hood from Mustangs Plus. I advertised our old hood for sale, but my wife and I decided to keep it and store it. Sorry I posted it for sale! Car is a bit modified now! The air cleaner is right up against this hood. Joe has been a HUGE help! Sold me...

Parting with some of the stuff from my recent GT/CS conversion. Very reasonable prices!! Pair of JBA Shorty headers for 302. Nice upgrade and no fitment issues. I went to long tube headers. Better than hypo manifolds. They are in great condition, but could be painted or coated to look...

Struggling to get supercharger under the hood with a robust aircleaner. And I need another inch for water methanol sprayer later. I would have cut it already but do not want to cut perfectly good hood and not achieve what I want. Joe is helping and giving me some final thoughts this weekend...

After a two day flog it is finally running!! Runs good, but has not been driven yet. Brand-new MSD distributor has bad bearing in the bottom half. Made a bunch of noise, so it is running on the stock distributor. Has a couple temporary connections to the exhaust so it is a bit loud...

The headers arrived yesterday!! Already in the car. These are Stan Johnson long tube headers from Ford Powertrain Applications in Washington. These long tube headers are ceramic coated, have 3/8 inch thick flanges, 1 5/8 step tubes, and are positively the best fitting headers I have ever seen...

Intake installed and torqued down. Put new aluminum radiator in and clearance between blower belt and electric fan very close. Radiator is nearly 3 inches thick. Looking at modifying my heavy duty stock motor mounts to move engine back 1/2 inch. Or maybe purchasing the Ron Morris Performance...

Saw a post in another thread as to where 1968 GT/CS cars should be placed in a car show. The show season is almost here. Please take the below as one persons thoughts. A friend of mine, Woody Jacobson, and I founded the Kitsap Mustang Club in the mid 1980’s. Club centers in Bremerton...

I have finally turned the corner and I am assembling. Still work to do. Joe and I swapped carbs and he has helped me with other new technology available. Sorry, I like Ford ""light blue"........ Pic of the forged Arias pistons in the block. Standard bore Mexican block. Steel crank and...

I am following in Joe's footsteps. Ordered a Weiand Supercharger for the 302 in the GT/CS today! Santa says I have been a good boy! Joe has been helping me with the new world of forced induction. "When atmosphere is not enough"!!! Rob

All, I have posted before on the higher mounting of the “California Special” script on our car before I repainted it. Our right quarter is original and our left was replaced, but both scripts were noticeably higher when I purchased the car in 1988. If you have Paul’s original book there are a...

All, This is kinda a classified, but here goes. I have converted all my stock gauges to Autometer gauges. Now I have tach in my GT/CS. But of course I do not have “idiot” lights for the oil pressure and the ammeter like a car with a factory tach. Not a big idiot light guy. I like gauges...

I subscribe to Hot Rod magazine and the latest issue has a huge article on electronic fuel injection (EFI) for aftermarket applications. Everything from Weber “lookalike” EFI to a carb application from Retrotek. I am extremely interested in the carb offering from Retrotek. Looks very similar...

Hello, SnottyStang, I own a car similar to yours. It is a Gold Nugget, but has the entire factory fiberglass and other options of a GT/CS. Kinda a mystery car. Of note my Marti report has the same paint code, and says it was Sunlit Gold, Ford #3073-A. It is posted in the Marti thread. My...

All, Just modified my instrument cluster to accept 5 inch and 2 and 1/16 inch diameter gauges. These are Autometer “Phantom” series. The back photo shows the plate that is available from Larry Bush of Northwest Mustang LLC for under 50 dollars that makes this possible. Larry is the main...
