    Swamp Cooler Thoughts?

    Anyone ever used an old school Firestone Thermador Swamp Cooler on their Mustang? There's an Illinois Classic Car swap meet coming up and I hear there should be a guy selling one. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    5 Seat Mustang

    Wire wheeled, vacuumed, degreased, rinsed, and dried. Ready for POR-15 next weekend and a new gas tank shortly thereafter. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    5 Seat Mustang

    Haha, I'll admit, it's been making the job a lot easier getting down to bare metal in the rusty areas. I'm going to use Por-15 which says it just needs a clean degreased surface so I'm not going to need to make it perfect before application. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    5 Seat Mustang

    Dad came over for a visit while I was prepping the trunk for paint, told me to go get us a couple beers. I came back to this and now he won't get out and told me to grab him a chair. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    1968 Correct "Ford Blue" engine color in a spray paint?

    I am going to repaint my engine bay this month without pulling the engine and figured brush paint would be safest. The Por-15 Corporate Blue looks close to what I currently have so I'll go ahead and place an order with NPD and can take photos of the air cleaner in daylight before and after...

    Wanted 1968 mustang AM 8 track radio

    Cool, thanks. Wouldn't that be a 1967 radio though? Or are the 67 and 68 radios identical? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    Hi Arlie, sort of. The shop that tuned the carb checked it out and told me they were reasonably sure three problem wasn't at the tank. Although I can't remember exactly what they did their explanation sounded solid at the time. I'm planning on replacing the tank this summer anyways so maybe I'll...

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    Hi Neil, It read about a quarter tank full which is where the needle has been sitting for at least 3 years. I guess there's a chance it *would* have dropped to empty but the needle is stuck there. But if it's stuck I wouldn't have expected it to sweep up to full. What do you think? Also, I'll...

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    I also put a test light into the push connector and the light did come on but barely. I believe it's also supposed to pulse but it was just constant and dim. I take that as more evidence the wire is cracked? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    Thank you, Neil. The gauge doesn't read empty when the wire is disconnected with the key on. It does go to full when the wire is grounded via jumper at the U Bolt. I take it this means the wire needs to be replaced? Or at least, find the bad spot and splice in a replacement section? Sent...

    Thanks, Arlie. Looks like checking continuity of that wire might be best to do first. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Yes, I replaced the regulator a couple weeks ago. It looks to me like the oil pressure gauge is working OK. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    Thank you so much that'd be amazing. Based on my Scott Drake wiring diagram book I believe I need Black-white stripe wire and Yellow-White stripe. My fuel gauge is stuck and I believe it's a wiring problem. I hooked up a 9V Battery to the back of the gauge and it swept the needle so I think...

    1968 Cluster wiring vendor and specs?

    Hi folks, Anyone know the gauge of wiring used behind the instrument cluster? Online and in my Scott Drake diagram book I only see info on the wire colors. If you're aware of a book or website where I can find more info on original / concours correct wiring gauges that'd be perfect. Also, if...
