    1968 Power Booster

    I guess before I started this thread I should have asked What are the signs that your booster is starting to go? I have too many opinions up here. My brakes do feel too soft. This I have been told. Yet another person tells me that is not the sign of a failing Booster. It's when you can't...

    1968 Brake Booster

    Hi Shipping charges could be a killer to Canada for me. Would your company sell complete rebuild kit for a Midland, although the 69 Bendex is the better way to go? The almighty dollar and my son starting College always seems to control the situation at hand. Duker

    1968 Brake Booster

    Thank you So I don't have to replace with the one I have with a Midland again? Going with Dewey can you forsee any problems with re-install, extra tweeking? I hate changing things from the original parts we all like out and replace. Can I buy a rebuilt Booster off you, so I don't have to...

    1968 Brake Booster

    Is there a kit you can buy to rebuild your booster? My booster has a metal band around it you can remove. I don't know if all are the same with power brakes. Thank you Duker

    68 Tilt Steering

    Thank you all and sorry for the delay replying. Son went off to school.:sad: I agree the 68 steering wheel is hard to look at. The 66, 67 wood wheels are more stylish for that sports car look. Cheers Duker

    68 Tilt Steering

    Tom, I wouldn't mind the prices if you can. Someone at the cruise night suggested aftermarket tilt but I have been so anal about keeping things original. I guess the circumstances determine what get's me driving the car in comfort. Thanks guys Duker

    1968 Thermactor Air Manifold ????

    Right, a "heat shield" that makes sense now. Sorry about the initial screw up guys. Mosesatm, the repro seem to look a little differant to the original. I still need the "riser" which is a round flex pipe. The picture in the book shows a rectangular riser on a 289 I guess it depends what air...

    1968 Thermactor Air Manifold ????

    I misunderstood the book. Sorry about that. If you have the 68 Shop manual SE-735-68 Chapter 8 Fig 2 this part attaches around the Exhaust Manifold on the passenger side of the engine and a pipe goes up to the air cleaner. It is supposed to assist with the choke. Duker

    1968 Thermactor Air Manifold ????

    I was at a cruise night on Thursday and someone I know has a 66 Shelby Fastback and he dabbles from time to time finding NOS Parts. I asked him to have a look at my engine and if he saw anything that would remind him of his inventory at home that I maybe interested in having. He had Valve...

    1968 Changing oil pan gasket

    This is the first Mustang I have ever owned. In fact my first Ford. I have a leak at the very front of the oil pan. It started with my first oil change in May after I took her out of storage for the winter. It was cold up here. The leak wasn't too bad at first but as the hot weather roled...
