    Places I have used for NOS parts and a few others

    Another good source for FoMoCo NOS is http://greensalescompany.com/ I bought a dozen or so NOS temp sending units from them a short while ago. Prices less than most NOS vendors. You will need to know the part # and some part # knowledge but a great resource none the less.

    WTB 68 390 Air Breather

    ahhhhh Now I know what your upset about. Your CS is a Canadian destined CS witha B7 DSO. Your car is restored incorrectly. It has the American emmission standards and not the Canadian emmission standards the Marti report calls out. Not only that but you have the FRONT sticker on and the...

    WTB 68 390 Air Breather

    $20 MPC on CD on eBay I sold my Mustangs as I was tired of the limitations Mustang owners put on information/discussion limiting their knowledge base and ignoring the facts. If this is strictly a Mustang site maybe you shoud remove the non Mustangs from your signature?

    Brake booster woes...

    The crimped Bendix begins to appear in 68. Sometime in mid 69 production all were Bendix boosters. The Midland is banded and the band crimps the inside rubber causing the booster to fail. I don't think the band tag is any which way as far as location goes. I have seen the tag at various...

    WTB 68 390 Air Breather

    A quick note here. 68 Air filter assemblies on Canadian destined cars got the previous years emmission standards. What this means is that a 68 GT made for Canadians would have had the 67 non snorkled dual screened open air cleaner assembly and not the closed snorkelled with vac door that US...
