    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    You need to look at the wiring diagrams and follow the color codes on the wires. There are some small ones in the back of the service manual but the electrical assembly manual is better. Some oil pressure senders use a spade connector.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    The wire with the spade end is for the oil pressure sender. To make that harness work for your pertonix you will have to cut off the spade connector and move the elbow from one from the red wire that is sheathed. That is the coil wire. You can put the eyelet on there for the pertonix.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    Here is a picture of our 68 S code engine. The red wire with a green stripe and black boot is the part of the engine harness. I have bought a number of them and they always have the 90 degree boot. The colored boot goes from the coil to the distributer and can be different colors depending on...

    The original connector was a booted slip on connection. Possibly your was replaced.

    1968 All Seat Cushions Created Equal?

    I would not use anything but original foam, even if you have to repair it. When we bought our 68 HCS it had the seats reupholstered with the cheep foam and it was as hard as a rock. I then purchased the best foam (NPD) and it is better but not a soft as the original. I have done many seats with...

    1968 Auto transmission to manual

    Yes I have done it. There are a lot of parts to sores and it is not cheep but is very doable. It would be best to have a donor vehicle.

    1968 Drip rail

    I am not sure but thought the two rivet style was the external SS one? We do not see very many original vinyl roofs. Marty

    1968 Drip rail

    They did not all ways have the rivets. I think the rivets were a fix for loose ends. This style was nice looking but problematic, possibly why there were not may of them used. I had some picture but lost then when I had a hard drive crash.

    1968 Drip rail

    Most 67-68 Mustang that had vinyl roof had the retainers. There were two types the kind that Neil is talking about that pop riveted in, and a Stainless one that was installed after the top was sealed and used no rivets. That one is much less common but looks nicer.

    1968 Engine Identification

    Rob is most likely correct that it is a nine inch. It must be from a different year or model because it looks nothing like a 68 nine inch.

    1968 Engine Identification

    IMHO that is not a 9 inch rear axel.
