Take yours out and take it to Redhead. They will rebuild it better than new and even respect your color and tag. The only way to grease it is to take the top off and finger it in. You should try to remove the "clay like" grease first, but it will still not get into the bearings where it is...

Teq, First step. They make them better than from the factory!!! https://redheadsteeringgears.com/ Then we will talk about the rest of the steering! Rob

Arlie, AWESOME gift to our members!!! You Da Man! Rob

Call Modern Driveline and give them your ratio and rear tire diameter. They will fix you right up!! Rob https://www.moderndriveline.com/

Gator, Your GT/CS is an early "recessed" reflector car. Is it in the registry? Or can you share the VIN number? I am sure I have a friend that has a window for you. Can you share a phone number so he can contact you? Rob

Arlie, They came in Granada's and Zepher's in the 77 78 era. Flipped the 4th gear lever over to engage the input shaft (normal 4th gear) into a 3rd gear selection and then 4th gear into the normal 3rd gear selection in the tranny. Reduced the 3rd gear ratio to .75 and wal laa! A poor man's...

Arlie, Is 70 MPH at 2,000 after or currently? If it is current now with a 3 or 4 speed manual, you must have a tall tire on her. Order a duplicating punch to center punch the stock bell house for the two new holes. By the way they come in from the "inside" of the bell house. A bit tight but...

Arlie, Call Modern Driveline in Idaho. https://www.moderndriveline.com/ They will talk you through this conversion. I assume you have a used T5 five speed? The old blue one that you had me work on had the conversion and was able to utilize the factory clutch set up. That kinda...

Two on each side near the end of the strip.

Dad, As all GT/CS cars were manufactured in San Jose, the different plant thought would be ok for other 1968 Mustangs, but not for a GT/CS. The stainless trim that Marty mentioned was on my car, but it was riveted in 4 places as I remember. Again, your car is an early GT/CS. Maybe some GT/CS...

Dad, Being this is an early car with recessed reflectors I would go the extra mile to restore the originals. The early scripts IMO are a lot different than the repops or later Ford over the counter replacements. After all of the research I have experienced over the last 30 years, I would have...

Looks like a very high-quality restoration. Again, I would want to see it in person for front end damage. Hood locks and the running horses are a simple fix. Just because it is not perfect, it has the paperwork as Arlie presented. My guess is this car would be a great car for someone in our...

Doubt it would be any different at startup between the 289 and 302. The parameters you set up as you go through the screens are very broad. Rob

Dad, These guys are the best in the business! They plate for Kenworth and I think Peterbuilt. They did restoration for me of original 1956 T-Bird script and other parts. Because of the large volume of work they do for the truck companies they have the cleanest chrome tanks in the business...

Installed a couple of these. 289 or 302 will not make any difference. Rob

15k miles a year for an average driver car. So 4 years to 60k for total wear out of tires. Tires that have been abused in all kinds of weather and more than likely not garaged. 9 years on tires that have 5k miles and have not seen the light of day when garaged most of the year. I would not...

Was looking at photo 3 and photo 4. Photo 4 next to the Ford part box looks like the later edition of the California Special script that is "more rounded" on the edges of the letters. Photo 3 is a bit far away, but it looks like the original scripts (not the handmade first 14) that are almost...

Arlie, Just put a T5 behind a 390 in a 69 Cougar Vert. Stock clutch linkage and it works just fine. You will love it. As Scott says do not go with any heavy-duty stuff on the pressure plate. I am just fine here in Washington. The inflation stuff will pass, and we will be just fine. Rob

z But heck, the electrical tape looks great!! And the column is bolted to the steering box.... What more do you want?? Just kidding!!!!

My least favorite job for a Mustang. Detailing the engine compartment. YUK!!! But well worth it in the end!! The FE 427 engine swims in this new widened engine compartment. Kinda a black hole with little bling right now. Time to install a new hydraulic clutch master, roll control, new...
