Marty, thanks for confirming! Richard

Found, on one, a silver or white strip... thought most springs had two color stripes. Basic 289/C4, nothing special.. anyone else seen similar marks on their springs? If I can confirm the stripe/color I may replicate it after cleaning them up..

...far from concours, but if anyone sticks their head under the car its going to look OK. Just need to let the red oxide dry a day or three and will mask and hit the machined surfaces with VHT cast iron (kinda a sparkly silvery that will look reasonable...) Decided against replicating any...

A few more found today. many are too vague to really tell so will just keep the photos and not replace them... a few blue places on the pumpkin, behind the tag, on the web and on the "snout", a small dark blue patch on the ring as well. Yellow dot on yoke. Blue "8" Possibly some...

Considering it, the issue is figuring out exactly what they are... was hoping others may have similar ones to compare to fill in the blanks. The "e" is pretty solid, the others leave some guesswork...

As I decided to let the front set overnight, moved rearward. The diff was not touched in the repaint and the "crud look" frinally got ot me. So decided to pull it. Rear out in 30 minutes (did forget to remove the brake and wondered why it wouldn't roll out! :tongue:) The front leaf bolts...

So finally get the car-from-hell-repaint engine running. Hooray! Then... drip, drip, drip... a leak from the timing cover/water pump.:icon_bore remove shroud remove fan remove PS Pump and brackets remove alternator and brackets drain radiator remove lower radiator hose, drain more fluid...

... and yes, that tube to block bracket looks "adjusted"...

Just saw this in looking up some parts, not sure if you needed it or not... https://www.npdlink.com/store/?p=catalog&mode=newsearch&search_str=9861-1A&parent=1&year=0

Video link is rear glass molding/trims, you mention the quarter window.. different items. ????

Wow, they've gone pricey since I last bought one... http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/14263-Spacer-Midland-Brake-Booster-ALUMINUM-Used-1967-1968-Mercury-Cougar-/-1967-1968-Ford-Mustang.html The filter is still cheap...

West Coast Classic Cougar that posts here has the spacers. It will affect the throw of the rod in the MC. And as adjustment is to within a few thousandths in the Shop Manual, moving it the 3/8"-1/4"-ish the lack of a spacer does would seem an issue. It also provides an air gap to equalize...

That's what I told myself... 6 months ago!!! :tongue:

Well, most uses don't require a washer as the general term "blind rivet" is also used. Example, on the rocker panel clips no washer inside as its a steel panel... You can buy aluminium head/shaft ones which "pop" at lower tension than steel.

The bracket that hold the hose is part of the carb. Called out as a choke shield here...

Sure, it is possible, just push them in and pop in place. Issue is they can fracture the fiberglass as the washer helps retain the expansion end a bit, keeping the bulge on the backside of the fiberglass and putting the load on the larger bearing are of the washer...

Scott, nope. I have the bolt attached to the rod. Just need the bits to get that to the shift lever... looks like the bushing in the kit is what I am missing as the bolt flops around in the grommet... probably one small baggie with the bushing, a pair of flat washers and a spring clip...

Thanks, don't bu from CJ Pony ateer one bad expereicne that cost me almost $200 for parts that do not fit and are on the shelf... refused to do anything. I saw NPD has this https://d2zl5tj7gmc4tr.cloudfront.net/store/images/products/7343-1.jpg and am trying to figure out if it is the same...

Yes, have had that urge (I lean more to a thrower like Mosesatm than a stabber like Rob! :wink:) in these final weeks of trying to get the GTCS back together after the "paint job"... The newest little "fun event" yesterday ate attempted start up was no fuel.... turns out the front line is...
