Do you have an original Ford vacuum advance? They are the only ones that you can adjust with shims. Again, if it does not ping do not worry about the total advance. Measuring timing in the garage with no load gives you a false reading of total advance with the vacuum advance plugged in. When...

As long as the engine does not "ping" or have signs of "detonation" do not worry about total advance. The more initial advance you dial in (12 degrees is a good start) the cooler the car will run, more horse power, and better gas mileage. Under full throttle the vacuum is at zero and then the...

Looks like a great car, but would love to see it on my rack. Rob

Yes i do!

And that sucker is WAY PRETTY!!!!! HOOO WEEE!

I just installed a power booster on a 1968 Mustang six cylinder car with 4 lug drum brakes. It works great and has a nice progressive feel. And it will lock the tires for one panic stop no problem. I feel that people jump to 4 wheel discs to much. A car will only stop as fast as the friction...

Arlie is correct. The little guys will go under eventually. Classic Industries is another new player in the Mustang world. https://shop.classicindustries.com/1964-2004_mustang_parts?_ga=2.147185136.673430330.1562685914-1970800194.1557192111 I have not bought from them for a Mustang and the...

I use a small Mustang supplier called Bel-Kirk Mustang in Seattle frequently. They deal in quality parts and their counter people are very knowledgeable. They have one day shipping to me due to their proximity to my shop. Yes, they cost a bit more, but in my mind totally worth the few extra...

Arlie, I think that there are plenty of Mustang suppliers out there at this time. My opinion is Mustang parts are some of the most reasonable for any car out there! I wish that quality was a bigger factor in the repop business. I get lots of reproduction parts that do not fit and seem to be...

What a business dynamo! And the father of the Mustang! I still love his early 1980's Chrysler ads. I told myself to buy some stock. But did not, but I knew he would turn Chrysler around! Rob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qm7m0Y9e80

Installing coil springs!!! One of my favorite jobs...… not..... Rob

Interesting holes in the side scoop area. Do you have the side scoops? You may need to work in this area. Rob

Arlie, Use a pickle fork to put a small load on separating it. Just enough to not damage the rubber boot. I have a short piece of rail road track to lay one side of the tapered joint on. It is best with a helper to keep it on a solid piece of iron of some kind. Strike it with a large (3...

Awesome Dad!!! Rob

My GNS had the metal gutter strip and was a factory vinyl top car. I just installed a vinyl top on a 1968 coupe last year that was not a factory vinyl top car. The factory trim on the rear quarter "C" pillar is a bugger. Make sure you oblong the holes a bit to give it a chance of fitting to...

Gosh, I have a Pioneer 8 track in our 1967 Fastback. Still plays!! But who wants to hear it over the music from the exhaust!! Rob

If you do not change the front bulbs, in my experience the two front bulbs will draw enough to make the stock flasher work. Good call on the grounds. I actually soldered a ground wire to each receptacle, grouped, and ran a single wire into the trunk area. Then grounded it in the back panel...

Marty/Scott, Check out this link. Very robust. Rob https://thecareandfeedingofponies.blogspot.com/2010/09/ford-radios-and-8-track-tape-players.html

Dad, Pretty sure it was Philco Ford. Rob

Another awesome Marty restoration finds a new home! How could they not like it!! Between you and Neil, the hobby will never die! Rob
