    1968 Shock Tower Notch Kit/ Rack & Pinion Help

    David, I found the guys at Steeroids to be very helpful, I'm sure they will make suure you get up and running safely. The instructions are good and the install is not difficult. Since you have the opertunity and ability to do so. Definitely install your R&P first, then your engine and then...

    1968 Shock Tower Notch Kit/ Rack & Pinion Help

    I too have a 351W in my car. I have hedman full length headers and Steeroids R&P set-up. I used adjustable motor mounts and had to notch the passenger side R&P mounting bracket for header clearance. Using a different brand header may have alleviated that issue, don't know. I already had my...

    1968 Rear spring bolt cover plug

    My subframe connectors were both. The rear bolted in place and then the front needed to be welded. I welded both ends front and rear to the frames for strength.

    1968 Rear spring bolt cover plug

    Marty, I installed sub-frame connectors which covered the holes. I didn't need to address that issue. That said, if they were accessable, I would have found the right size plug to fit the hole or used the originals. Mine are old but I may still have them if you want them. I kept almost...

    1968 Rear spring bolt cover plug

    Here is a photo I took before I restored my car. I am pretty certain that it is a stock original part as it had the same color and hardness as the rest of the plugs on the car.

    1968 over heating

    As said earlier, check your thermostat. Change your fluid using distilled water, antifreeze and water wetter or similar and see what happens. You might also install a thermometer cap to have a second source of measurement. It is possible your engine is fine and your gauge went bad. I have one...

    1968 9" detail photo

    Thanks Marty, I'll post a photo when I'm done. Can you tell me if on all 9" diffs the rubber bumper (square pyramid looking bumper) is mounted on the yoke cover? On my original 8" the rubber bumper was attached to the car, not the diff. Cheers

    Shop Progress

    I believe I think what they are really telling you is that they don't want to do it. In the long run I think you will be happier with a single meter and a lower electricity bill.

    First thing I would do is make certain your thermostat is opening. Put it in a pan of water and put the fire to the pot. Use a ccandy thermometer and then you will know when and if it is opening.

    1968 9" detail photo

    Hey all, I just pulled the rear end out of my car and want to detail the differential while I have it out of the car. Does anyone have a good detail photo of what an accurately restored 68 mustang 9" chunk looks like? Is it the same as this 8" (photo attached)? The photo of the 9" outside the...

    1968 Power Steering Leak

    It will be 4th of July weekend before I will have a chance to work on my car. I already tried tightening the nut between the can and the high pressure hose and that didn't change the leak at all. I'll try the rebuild Rob pointed out. Can you get the front and can parts apart without a vice...
