    August 18th, 2007 GT/CS-HCS BBQ

    On a side note... ...with attendance of this year's BBQ expected to be as good or better than last year - who among you would be interested in some aerial photographs of the cars? ...Or as an enhancement - four or six ship formation fly-bys w/ a couple of us photographers on board? We have a...

    Wiring problems

    Nope - The one you're driving just (flat) wants to GO! It doesn't care what anyone else thinks, nor will they notice you from behind for very long. ;-) Probably no different from what you already experience w/ your BBs.

    Wiring problems

    THANKS Neil & Don! ;-) Don - My car has been easy to spot too! It's the one that can't decide whether it's night or day, which way it's turning, or whether it's telling you we're stopping or not ;-))

    ...I too have the same problem w/ one of mine and will replace the switch. Please tell me about the LEDs. Do the turn signals and brake lights perform better and brighter? My turn signals flicker dim before going bright. 'Brake lights too...

    Thanks Rob for the confirming info. I've been using Mobil 1 15/50 Syn on all except the std. 68 coupe which has 183K miles on original 289 and for the moment bears the nickname "Ole Smokey ;-) She blows a big cloud on start-up (guides I'm sure) but otherwise runs great... Yes GTB -...

    Timing

    Thanks Rob for the insightful comments. There are indeed alot of wives tales and admittedly, that's all I have to go on sometimes until educated otherwise. Your "backing" with experience and research is refreshing. 'Curious now of your opinions re: best lubrication/ motor oils... Perhaps on...

    ...That's the guy. He did that here too, but Mike discovered the VIN descrepency... No one wanted to correct him for obvious reasons ;-)

    Neil, I think it's a clone. 'Has a std. grille, but more importantly - If it's the one I've seen up here before, it has a "Dearborn" VIN code. I remember the license plate#...

    I'll be darn... Nice show and great pics! I hear there is another freshly painted Highland Green CS as well as a silver/ metallic grey one running around down there as well. Keep your eyes open :-) Thanks again!

    A 67 and a 69 GT/CS???

    ...I don't think this thread is so much about anyone knowing more about CSs than I (we) do. Lord knows any education is welcome provided it's not "heady". I'll be the first to say I know nothing 'cept how to drive & enjoy one. (thankfully ;-) It then relaxes them to freely tell you what they...

    Timing

    Good ol'e avgas was great too, but it's at $4.83 ;-) I just get concerned sometimes knowing the new fuel is not the same as old, and not wanting to damage the engine. There's a steep hill nearby where I will play w/ timing and carb adjustments, test drive and have everything running perfect...

    Timing

    Interesting... I've also wondered about today's fuel as I hear it's more formulated for injected engines as opposed to carburated and that it ignites quicker. I find myself always adjusting the timing "seat of the pants" after dis-satisfactory performance from spec... Is the fuel related and...

    A 67 and a 69 GT/CS???

    ...With a little scanning of resources and some threads here, YOU can be an expert too ;-) There were no '67 or '69 CSs...

    A 67 and a 69 GT/CS???

    Indeed, I'm sure we could do a long thread on such stories. That's what I love about pulling into most gas stations. Those who are full of themselves - I just let 'em go. Those truly interested - I engage. I've also learned of more GT/CSs in the area as result. 'Turns out that the brother...
