1) Below the alternator to the block there. Originally a ground wire from the alternator and the battery ground were held in place there. Should find a threaded hole, a stud or a bolt in place 2) The contact would be between the ground strap and the screw head (drew is ground to the firewall...

Paul ... haven't heard of anyone. And though I've seem a number of the 69's up close I've never seen a 67-68. Normally owners of odd cars become the first experts out of need.

A few friends have had these and I saw a 65-66 Mexican Mustang at this years Erie show. Always interesting. When you look at the 69's the allot of the "hidden" panels are similar to US production only slightly different curves The same people produced Shelby Mavericks and Galaxies (mostly a...

Paul N wrote "Excuse my tardiness, but I will get back to you about the "concours parts review" for my book." And the paint marks section (which I think you may have some problems with ... but we'll talk and at least supply the paint inspector stamps ;) "About SAAC vs. MCA. I feel that a...

The following is just one persons opinion developed over many years. Paul your comments are typical of all owners of cars that different and I believe it is just human nature (don't ask me why) that many car owners care and want people to notice them. The results of that mindset it leads to...

A few comments as I pass through ;) Original covers would have had a bluer tint similar to the Shelby ones The luggage protector strip would have been held in place with brush on yellow colored adhesive (often you can see the extra adhesive past the strip The original mat would be plaid (NJ...

gt bandit - Had friends take back as carry-on everything including a crankshaft as carry on (Boss crank that was too heavy for the over head bin ;). Pre 9-11 the biggest concern from the airlines were car radios (wires and stuff) as carry on. Parents once brought back this way ( state side) a...

Rented one for the week a couple weeks back while back east attending a show. A few impressions 1. not much torque or bottom end when compared to the older stuff 2. Gets allot of attention. People are always looking or taking pictures but this will likely wear off in 6-8 months like it did...

Not sure (don't so much with Canadian cars) but I would guess that the IMCO system would have been included since without it there would ahve been timing and runability issues. I know in later years it was included since much of the system was bulit into the engine and the parts.

Stalker laws have limited your abilty to search for past owners so little chance there. Since Calif dealerships (compared to most fo the rest of the country) change hands more often and are relocated I've heard of few owners finding much at all. But its always worth a shot. I got lucky with one...

You don't have the PVS (ported vacuum switch) on the therostate housing that controls the vacuum advance at the dist? That was part of the IMCO system used on cars like J codes with automatics

It’s just a discussion. Have been pretty close to the subject as I've stepped in on a number of occasions to represent groups of owners when BARs documentation was lacking and when retrofitting was not acceptable. I also was one of a handful that represented the hobby during State Senate...

Not really the law excepts owners from the biannual testing but was not established to allow owners to remove emission systems. I'm a little familar with the bill. When we got the exemption established I was one of six people that spoke/testified in front of the committee in support of the...

Paul don't remember if I "registered" mine with you. I've had 8R01J160344 for about 5-6 yrs. Not sure for how much longer but its mine for now

Can't always trust them... plenty of examples of screw ups Not sure of any reference in BAR books about 68 federal stuff . If so its likely just a carry over from 67 It's ok to bring in a 68 Mustang form another state as long as it has all the original smog that it originally came with. On...

All Mustangs built in for Us delivery had smog in 68 but do not think that smog always meant a Thermactor system In 68 if the V8 car was order with a manual transmission or was a 390 4V or 428CJ it got a Thermactor system. All engines came with the IMCO system no matter the size

In 68 there was no Calif and 49 state cars, the requirments were the same for all US delivered Mustangs including CS's. 67 was the last year for that until 70 when there were different requirments again - depending on which engine was installed

Just going by what has been done in other books. 1. Calif Spec - Toys, models (older stuff not meant to be a sales tool for present stuff) 2. Manuals (like the three or four typically found in the dash originally) 3. Recalls and or TSB's for Calif Specials or just the model year 4. List of...

Don't think you guys and gals have enough money. All the approved clone cars are going in (the registry) but Mr Shelby and/or his charity are recieving $'s from those cars.

Yes I agree thought most of the people involved have different opinions (mostly none- west coast people ;) I guess we need to start collecting VINs with the details, though it will likely take some work to convince others. Mush of the issue IMHO I believe is that because (in my opinion) the...
