    10/10 Cam

    Chevy had a 30-30 cam that was popular in the 60's. 30-30 was related to lash. Was it a chevy? Maybe a typo in the ad?

    GT/CS Convertible for Sale

    I missed the posting before it was deleted. Wonder if it was my old car. I sold it about 5 years ago here in Denver. Have not seen it since.

    Meguires 7 is the best, but only for single stage paint. Auto geek has informative videos.

    1968 HCS count

    I think the reason a HCS would be changed into a GT/CS is that when you buy the stripe package it comes with the GT/CS section that goes over the scoop. The HCS decal is no longer produced and getting harder and harder to find.

    1968 Block casting I. D.

    Neil, It is a 289 Block that was used from 65-67. The date code shows 1965. If there is a vin number stamped on the side of the block, it would have been used for a K code HP 289, but there is no difference between the regular 289 block and the HP block from what I have heard.

    1968 Langford Car Show today ...

    My bad. Sorry. Looking at a map, I guess Langley is a bit of a drive and boat ride away.

    1968 Langford Car Show today ...

    Did you happen to see a red J code HCS with vinyl top there? Couple of years ago I sold my HCS to a nice woman named Gloria from way north of Vancouver. Her and her husband just completed a restoration on the car. She mentioned to me last week that they were going to trailer it to Langley for...

    1968 adding a vinyl roof

    I'd take some good pictures of the roof before you put on the vinyl. When I am looking at a car with a vinyl roof, I get nervous about potential rust being hidden. Pictures might help in the future sale process.

    1968 351 v 302

    Congratulations on your decision! 302 is certainly more period correct.

    SOLD 1968 GT/CS California Special Mustang with Ford Marti report

    I'd be all over this if I was in the market. My guess is that most folks buying a GTCS or HCS want something that is stock and has the original engine or appearance of original. Good luck with the sale. David

    1968 351 v 302

    If you go with a 351W and need ignition parts, I am willing to give you a Duraspark II set up (distributor, ignition module, coil, misc connectors) that I used briefly on my 351W. Just pay shipping from Colorado. There are lots of articles on the internet about how to install a Duraspark II...

    1968 351 v 302

    I have done a 351W swap in a 68 HCS. Couple of other things to keep in mind: 1) I had aluminum heads on mine, but either way, you will need a special piece that bolts to the front of each head to allow you to reuse and align your alternator and power steering brackets. Basically these were...

    289 to a 347?

    I went with a 351W in my HCS stroked to 393. Cubic inches help! I know you want to keep your engine, but a 351W goes in easily and still gives you lots of room for things like changing spark plugs. If you are going to make the type of power you will make with a super charger, you need to...

    1968 Need brake cylinder and booster unit for PB car

    Separate item, but part of the brake system. In Neil's picture above, it is just to the right of the master cylinder. Looks like you are covered on that part.
