    Sheryl, Below is a pic of Eric's 390. Both Dan's and his have the same vacuum tube running front to back on the passenger side of the engine. The PCV hose connection is hidden by the heater hoses. You may need to use the 1.2 space on the original Holley to clear the transfer tube on the...

    Sheryl, Please post a pic of the passenger side of the carb/intake manifold that shows the PCV pipe that goes front to aft on your car. Want to ensure it is the same as Eric's and Dan's 390 GT/CS setups. Rob

    1968 Take a look at my Lucas Fog Light situation

    Eric, Be very careful removing the nut. If it does not spin off somewhat easily you will rip the carriage bolt and the thin metal that holds it on the light. I am very close to producing a very close, if not concurs quality, nut to replace the them. They are either metric or British Whitworth...

    1968 Take a look at my Lucas Fog Light situation

    I am all over building the Lucas light kits for GT/CS and HCS cars. Eric you may only need the nuts and some minor hardware. Neil is sending me a nut to copy, and that may e all you need. But you need to remove what is left on you bolt form the light. that may need heat and a lot of lube to...

    Need to find a wet test platform. Going to open her up and verify jets and such. I have a stock 351 Torino that should be very close to the requirements. If I can get it to idle on her smoothly I think we will have it whipped. You need to get one of these for the choke system to work...

    1968 Front Fenders

    Marty, Great point! Makes a case as to whether they had any script holes either as they would not be needed. Interesting as the GT had no Mustang script. So the GT/CS and HCS fender would not have the running horse, but would have the script. The GT would not have either, but holes for the...
