    Borgeson power steering

    Thanks Rob, but I've already installed the roller system, the Ford steering box is back on the car, and the Borgeson system is boxed up and will soon be going to a new home .

    Borgeson power steering

    I don't think it's adjustable but the level of assist is supposedly much less than the old Ford system.

    1968 Dash Panel Brake Light ON?

    And brake fluid instantly disolves most paints so running it down a freshly painted inner fender will result in a striped inner fender. Try repainting that with the distribution block in the way!

    Borgeson power steering

    That's OK, at least I get to use my roller Z-bar now.

    Borgeson power steering

    !!!ATTENTION!!! A Borgeson steering box CANNOT be used on a 1968 Mustang with a manual transmission with a Z-bar, but it will work with a cable or hydraulic clutch. They are working on a modified Z-bar but they don't know when it will be available, so off it comes, and the old box goes back on.

    For Sale S Code 4 Speed for Auction

    This is the car that recently sold at the December 2011 Mecum auction in Kansas City for $42,500. It's easy to spot with its incorrectly painted front turn signals, incorrect driving lights, fog light posts, and the incorrectly painted gille, and lower grille panels. Also the wrong tail light...

    Marty, The stuck filter ring was on the other car; the one where the harmonic balancer nearly fell off. But I do have another tip courtesy of the J-code and my haste. When ordering parts be sure to carefully read the description and application. I ordered the super-duper Z-bar and clutch...

    When replacing an oil filter make sure the rubber gasket from the old filter doesn't get stuck on the block, because installing a new filter over that old gasket creates an incredible oil leak when the engine is started!

    For Sale 68' Cali Spec J Code Auto

    The VIN is J152506. It's in the registry with a Marti. We've seen this car for sale before. I remember it because of its instrument panel and its color change from yellow to red.

    Which Carb and Where To Get?

    Rob rebuilt the 4300 on my J-code 4-speed car and it runs great. It has a tiny hiccup if I romp on it but I don't drive that way so it works great for me.

    1968 Engine assistance please.

    Please keep in mind that I know just enough to be dangerous, but if you just want to check the bearing you should be able to remove and replace it from the bottom. If the problem is a wrist pin the piston assembly will need to be installed from the top so you may as well take it out from the top.

    Which Carb and Where To Get?

    I don't think they have 4300s, but I also bought a 4100 from them and it's a great carb.

    1968 Vintage Wheel Works V50s

    IMO the 15x7 ten spokes are hard to beat. That said, I also think it depends on the car color(s). As much as I liked the look of the 10-spokes on my last car my new project is also aqua but it has a black vinyl top and black stripes so I'm going with Magnum 500s instead. If you know how to...
