    1968 I'm back

    I've been gone for quite a while. My wife had cancer and it's been a long battle. I didn't have time for much besides work and her. Anyway, I've come to the realization that I probably will never restore another '68 Mustang, so I'm selling all my odds and ends. I've posted in the for sale...

    1968 Tail Light Housing Casting Numbers

    The one I have that came out of a '68 Shelby Tail light panel is C4SB-13440-B. The first "4" (after the C) is at a different level, higher, than the rest of the number. The wiring harness has C5SB-3407 on the tag. I can't say if it was replaced before I bought the tail light panel and lights...

    1968 Black CS Project

    And to think I was afraid of coming around a blind corner and stuffing the nose of the Mach 1 into your taillights! I think I got played! :tongue:

    1968 Car won’t start

    I have a 45hp Kioti that I use for pushing trees over. That part goes pretty quick, especially the 20 year old lodgepole that's only a few inches in diameter. It's the cutting, trimming and stacking afterwards that slow down my wife and I. We're going to end up with 750' of driveway, 30' wide...

    1968 Car won’t start

    I don't get on the website as much as I used too, (busy cutting up trees on the new place) but I'm always up for a challenge--or just a visit. Steve

    My new garage

    Very nice Neil! I can't wait to finish the driveway into my new property so I can start on the new shop. Now there are priorities for you. Shop gets built before the house! Steve

    1968 Car randomly dies

    I hate to get to deep into the weeds, but here's a little tutorial with another of my opinions. On any given circuit, the "load", whether it be light bulb(s), electric motor, whatever, drops the voltage from source, in this case, 12V to ground (0V). The total amount of resistance in a circuit...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    I did say "appears" because it doesn't come right out and say it, but it does, in my mind anyway, imply it. Here's why I believe it is. First, it's a company that makes digital ignition systems and talks about increased accuracy in spark over "analog". With that background, it stands to reason...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    I looked it up on Pertronix's website, and it appears it's a solid state relay with a voltage regulator built into it. Exactly the way I would want to go. I would run a separate wire through the firewall and tap a switched source from the fuse block if I was installing it in my car. Less load on...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    Vapor lock means the gas in the fuel line gets so hot it vaporizes (no longer liquid), forming an air pocket that blocks fuel flow. It can change state back and forth as it cools and heats. I would think that the way the fuel line is routed under the valve cover lip, right on the manifold, would...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    What Arlie said, plus check the wiring harness on top of the engine, and the pigtail from the distributor to the coil, as well. They get hot and the insulation breaks down, which can cause shorts. Check your vacuum lines and routing. If you have a factory tach, it might be going bad, which cuts...

    Thanks Neil. I'll try to make it look like something more usable. :cheesy: Steve

    Wiring harnesses

    I've seen that one, and they even have one for the Tiger, but I can't figure out why it's $100+ over their other, generic kits. I'm in the process of figuring out wire gauges, colors and lengths and pricing out what it would cost to just build my own, compared to a kit. I admit it, I'm a...
