Sooo... why can't you just use a grille to make one?

Here is a picture from Mansfield Mustang. Note the very short section that kicks backwards at the base of the snorkel. and a shot of my 68 S convertible (not the greatest, but one i have on line) Note the other links, and how all are longer and kick the main body of the snorkel forwards...

See this ad for what NOT to buy. First, no such thing as a "GT" snorkel. Do not confuse a bad ad like this for the correct one for the "390GT" '68 S code...

No worries, happy to help with the little I know about these cars... :smile:

Ebay or Mansfield Mustang. http://mansfieldmustang.com/EngineFuelCarbp2.html Be prepared to pay $300-400 for a good snorkel, and the same or more for a heat shield (one on Ebay for $600 recently). One year only and not a lot out there. I do not think these two parts are reproduced, but...

Latest shots... should start adding the pieces this weekend...

Right, but if he wants a 289, and they make a 302, its different. Subtle and no one would know unless they take it apart and check, but... On the bores, if you can't use your existing block (which you say you want to trade in, if it is useable why not rebuild it instead of tossing it as scrap...

You get what you pay for. Time is money. And the cheap palce kinda seems to be an obvious one to avoid, based on your info. If you want to cut costs, and your core is useable maybe find a local machine shop, get the block and heads done buy a cam kit and a rotating assembly to be balanced...

Couple a hours with a welder and ready for paint... look like a few useable parts there, but not much...!!:eek:

Spoke to the guy in New Zealand who did mine, he glued it down. I've found the mylar tapes don't stick worth a damn on curved surfaces, even when new for some reason... It has to have a top coat or it will never hold up to handling on a steering wheel.

Be sure its not just a bad battery befroe tearing apart the rest of the cahrging system. Voltage regualtor is another common cuplrit to test...

Every 3 and 6 months? Wow.... Oil companies love you! :wink: On an older engine the black is tiny particles in suspension, the oil is doing exactly what it is supposed to. Cleaning your engine internals. Detergents are removing (possibly) decades of grime (assuming an older engine as in most...

Found 'em, thanks Jeff...

Readily available a pretty good reproductions. I made a set of inserts from a thicker sticky backed material from a kind member here and replaced the thinner material provided with it...

and where would these pictures be...???

First, take one of the good bulbs and swap it with the "bad" one to be sure its not the simple solution. :smile: (spent a lot of time chasing a "wiring problem" that was a bad bulb out-of-the-box a while ago!) If its not the bulb, check the socket and bulb contacts. And for any fraying or a...
