Many thanks to everyone. It is indeed a great group of people we have on this site! Casey

Terry, It sounds like you are suggesting NOT to use the combustion chamber cleaner - right? (so, what is the situation on your car now - still smoking?) For the other ideas - I did get it out and drive it (a rare occurance of good weather in Chicago in December), and it improved some. Keep in...

I already have this one, but someone on the site should be interested. This is the debut of the Cal Spec in the original 1968 Hot Rod Magazine. Looks to be original. Casey...

I did not mean to scare everyone. In my past days I was taught to try a drop or two of oil through the spark plug hole, and then test the compression with a gauge again. Either way, I don't need to do this in this case since the pressure seems ok....Casey

I did this excercise this morning. I removed each plug wire on the side smoking and it did not stop. Interesting. I havent done the drive test yet. Looks like rain. I dont think it was 'sudden' problem as I did see some smaller amount of smoking in the summer. Casey

Arlie, sorry I didnt make it clear. Those compression tests were done today. By "leak down test" I think you mean, putting oil in the cylinder and testing the compression again? Even so, arent the current pressures adequate? I will also try the other two ideas - taking spark plug wires off...

Thanks for the support!! The questions were asked faster than I could answer them. So, here is the answer to Arlie's question. The psi in each cylinder is: 1 - 145 2 - 150 3 - 150 4 - 145 5 - 150 6 - 145 7 - 145 8 - 140 The 1-4 side is the side that is smoking. To Arlie's other question...

As normal, I crank my 'Stangs in storage once a month in the winter and let them run for 30mins. This time my GT/CS starts smoking blue smoke (oil) on one side (passenger side). It was doing this just a barely perceivable amount in the summer - but now it is really puffing. It puffs blue...

Right - no modifications for the tach on ebay. Remove the plate and screw the tach right in place (of course, you need to wire it per the instructions). Casey

I love mine too. Can easily be found on eBay. Casey

Here is the link for Mustang Projects with direct link to the California Special. Price is $199. Definitely worth it to me. Simple plug and play. Casey http://www.mustangproject.com/Catalog.aspx?search=california+special&category=68642387-6653-4218-935e-89619ca5f35a

Welcome to the site! Congratulations on your car. Yes, the GT/CS did not have sequential lights. Many of us have converted, but there is a very easy way - use Mustang Projects LED sequential lights and they plug right into the light sockets, and a simple replacement of the blinker can with...

Can we please keep the bantering off this web site? It seems to be escalating, and it is not useful to anyone but those bantering. Our site is well known as a class-act site and we should keep it that way. I like what both of you guys are doing for the GT/CS & HCS - but prefer to keep to the...

Needs TLC, but a good starter? Hood pins appear missing. Early car. Do the foglights look unusual? Casey http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-Ca-Spec-GT-1968-Mustang-Cal-Special-GT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6236QQihZ007QQitemZ170059174499QQrdZ1

There is another thread on this site that discusses how to do it with fiberglass. I was missing one when I got my car (why just one, I dont know). I had a local guy make a new one using an old one. He made the new one with fiberglass - but you cannot tell the difference. Casey

Here is the picture I saw. Casey

I have seen this before. My problem with it is that it does not keep with the Mustang lines. It looks like an Infinity. The front looks like the Camaro. The Mustang has always had specific lines that distinguish it from an Infinity, or a Taurus when driving down the road. My two cents. Casey

No way.:mad: Mustang has high brand value that would be tarnished forever. Would you see the corvette doing this? Would you see the viper doing this? Would you see a shelby doing this? :icon_no: The brand value is too high to cater to any short term gain from the use of it. Surely...

This is a really nice car, and lots to be learned from it if as advertised. Jeff S. should be interested in all the markings! A couple of other things: 1. Is the window handle a "shorty" in the deluxe interior? - a recent topic. 2. This is likely a Dearborn car? I cant read the VIN or...
