Terry good eye. Yes that is consisent with what we typically see on J codes built at San Jose in the second half of 68 production. I zoomed in too far on the pictures I posted for you to see it in the pictures I posted. This was a really nice original car I took pictures of in AZ about two years...

Ron thanks for the kind words but they are necessary. Just happy to help and to offer experiances so that others can benefit. Not always right (or perfect) but always willing to assist ;)

Originals would have been stamped with AUTOLITE and since its a San Jose car typically (but not always) MADE IN USA then engineering numbers and stuff and then painted semi gloss black Interesting paint marks (have about 600 in my records so far) But I can not relate them to others without...

Believe they are marked differently.

Yes for small blocks (for FE's - different engine assy plant I like a darker blue) I like the Plasticoat for a rattle can found it closer to original engine colors I have compared chips to. JMHO

For the rear springs it might be easier to match them up with the spring (engineering numbers ) rather than application but we'll have to see. As for shock absorbers - sounds like someone replaced the originals with service replacements which were gold in color. Paul - Rear springs were not...

Danny took at look at the few hundred J code San Jose cars and the breathers are always in the way ;) Best I found

The 69 Boss canister bracket has a different engineering number (and is shaped slightly different) from the 68 Small block one Plenty of Boss wish they were the same ;) Took me about 18 years to get mine

Also consider that the Govenator is trying to return back to the old additional car tax (placed on registration) we had at one point. This along with the higher sales tax and expanding the sales tax to include things like labor on car repair :( are what the lame ducks are working on - last I...

Thought I understood the difference until I asked an agent and I read the small print in most/all policies where it refers to arbitration, insured paying all cost,........ Thought I understood the difference until I read the small print in most/all policies where it refers to arbitration...

Has anyone (or knows anyone) that has collected on a total loss when the stated value exceeded replacement/market value? I've yet to see that. Did ask my insure what they thought would happen. Their answer was that we would pay you what the car was worth. Sounds like lawyers again :( Did...

If you did a full restoration you likely have more money in it that it would be worth if the market did not correct ;) Its real easy, depending on what you started with, for the costs to outweigh the value on old cars, but then again investment and restoring should rarely be used together IMHO...

Don't assume that they know for sure. Its best to always check and confirm. I get plenty of questions from Mustang shops, both big and small, some of them are surprising - too many stories of things going wrong to share here ;)

Don't even want to know what the other forum was ;) The tire pressure decal for your car was in the glove box. The door jamb location is a 69-70 thing

Just a thought but I would suggest that you at least cut the date out of your original fender and save it. In this way you will have the option (or the next owner will ;) later.

IF the A arm has a paper "tag" on it is very likely that it was a service replacement item. And service replacements often vary (in finish, design and even look) from assembly line parts

Just for the record ;) Wally's last name is Short

I prefer the look ( find it closest) of the Plasti-cot 224 (as already mentioned) for small blocks and 6 cyl and one of the Duplicolor numbers (sorry don't have it in front of me) for the FE engines. Of course different motor families were assemblied at different locations so the suppliers...

Sorry the pictures are not clearer (both are original paint cars above) Have seen some original cars were the chalking was slightly visible btu generally not (same goes for the 67-68 Shelby application) Will look through the hardware boxes and try and dig out a couple of screws and take some...
