Really need to pull the fenders. as vacuuming thru the tiny slots doesn't work well, an getting to the sides is difficult, the drain are is often gummed up with old crud. Run as much water in a you can from the top and fish out the debris thru the drains at the side. A large bottle brush can...

If you are going that route I'd suggest considering replacing the heads. If you are going to dump the smog remove the old heads and smog stuff (assuming you have it) I'd think keeping it together may have value. I am not real familiar with the small blocks but the big block smog heads are...

Rebuild underway.... So the machine shop feels two cylinders need to be sleeved, hone the rest. Will buy a new cam and pistons/rings, timing chain set and obviously cam/main bearings. Pull the heads apart, clean them up and inspect for any damaged guides, has hard seats and newish looking...

Way back when I used the el-cheapo Prestone backflush kits, not sure if they are even around anymore. Place the tee in the heater hose and attach a garden hose. You can insert a short section of rad hose to add the backflush tee without cutting the hose in the car and leaving the highly...

Mine are so tight that I can't back one out without removing the stud and the entire scoop from the body without scratching the paint on the edge of the screw holes. The screws go in at about a 45 degree angle and are pretty much level.... Good luck, sure it will come out fine!

Looks like very nice work!

Here are a few shots from my recent (and ongoing) "repaint".. of the area with the holes. I'll go out and unscrew a couple screws and post some photos to show the angle...

Don't sound to be original. Maybe a old pigtail by a PO to connect to some past item...??? I had similar spliced wires in mine to go to a trunk light add-on and a couple that were just left hanging loose in the trunk... no idea what they were for so removed them. As noted, a picture would...

Yep, if you have 69's and are happy to split the set then that works too. Can also just reuse the entire '69 lowback set, think the base is basically the same. This is a way to just add the '69 headrest to a pair of '68's. Here in Oz a set of half decent '69's will run you $400+ as 69's...

Here's a '68 And a '69 And the parts (first ones, a rough square plate prototype) And installed Two (IIRC) 3/8" bolts to mount the plate to the seat back using the existing oval holes, then 4 small ones for the 69 support to the plate. I used bolts and nuts, you could just tap the...

No welding required and an easy add-on in the context of most projects. You can bolt in a simple plate and install the 69's. I actually almost made a kit, but interest was low. I have a template for the plate and was going to get 40 or so laser cut but never pulled the pin on that one... If...

On mine the screw angle was pretty critical, the screws barely cleared the edge of the holes so be sure it is aligned right. As if not when installing you might chip the paint on the lip.

The NPD repros have worked fine for me...

Yep, they were also used on XR XT XW XY Falcons with 289, 302 (Windsor and Cleveland) and 351 here in Australia... so are readily available here. Just trying to ascertian if the two I have with a C Code are originals or something the PO "collected". Engine is out and not sure if they should go...

AMK notes that the vast majority of "bad" soleniods they get sent back are fine. They note a good ground is required, ensure the base is well grounded to the apron, adding a stamped nut to the backside of one, or both, screws and ensuring they scratch thru to bare metal is a good way to help...

They are "kind of " in the way. As its 4 bolts to remove, easier to just get them out of the way and install after the bumper... as you note the upper edge lips over the lower of the bumper a bit and IMHO it would be a bummer to scratch a new bumper trying to work around such an easy part to...

Yep, saw that. Thre was a post there with a reply that indicated they may have been installed and removed on the line. Differing views. Just wondering if anyone here has seen them installed or not.. Thanks for the reply.

Anyone seen lift brackets/lugs on a '68 289? Getting different views on other forums as to if they were used or not... as I have the engine out for rebuild and a pair of them is kicking around was thinking of adding them, but am unsure if they were used on the '68 Mustangs. Brackets/lugs...

Yep, have seen the dates but as a green was on the car and it seememd to work fine curious if anyone knows the specific differences. Ken from Bad Shoe Productions said "either will work". I've seen slightly differnt years noted for the changeover too. The white seems to be "early" C4/C6 then...

... and I'll add that the Bad Shoe productions transmission rebuild videos are a fantastic reference. Really helped on both the C6 and C4.
