PM sent. Danny

The GT badges are incorrectly mounted and it has the early optional rocker stripes in lieu of the C-stripes. Danny

If you look on the head of the bolt they are marked with letters. The "E" bolts hold the front lap / shoulder belts with the latch. The lap belt goes on closest to the carpet with a spacer between and then shoulder belt. The bolt that holds the front seat retractor is marked with a "C." The...

This page lists the Light Parchment Poly for the majority (if not all) the interior appointments. It also lists a Medium Parchment Poly (flat), but does not state Dark Parchment anywhere. I hope this helps! http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1968-Ford-pg02.jpg Danny

I just restored one for a club member, my research indicated all light blue. Danny

The C8OE-D seems to be the most common in 68. There is also a C8OE-J, C8OE-A and possibly one other. The 68 small block water pumps do not have a date code on them. I have a rebuilt C8OE-D I'm willing to part with if Marty doesn't have one. Danny

I don't have LED's in my car, but if I am not mistaken it's plug and play. Even the complete replacement with multiple board type LED's are plug and play. Danny

The exhaust manifold on the C-Code (289) and J-Code (302) are the same; so the H pipe is all that is needed. At the rear of the car you would have to use turn downs unless your were planning on changing the rear valance for the quad tips. Danny

Check out this thread; if you don't have the book I would highly recommend it! http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6625 Danny

That's what my reference lists. I thought I had one, but I was mistaken. Danny

Marty, The hardest part for you will be resisting the urge to "clean" something up! I remember a few years ago I bought a car to be a driver. My uncle stopped by while I was doing a brake job and then started encouraging me to remove the disc brake dust shield and blast and refinish it. It...

I think the MCA is expecting SGB; just don't think the "rules" have been updated. SGB looks good and protects better than natural. I would paint it! Danny

Should be the 2 pc. tube. Danny

Only s/g black were available from the factory; but I think it would look good. Personally, if I were to do it (in white) I would do it like the factory. From the turn signals back to the cowl. I don't like LeMans stripes on anything but an early Shelby. Danny

What is the DSO of your 390 car? 390 cars shipped to Canada did not get the smog stuff and used the 67 style air cleaner. Danny

Looking good! Master Cylinder and cap should be painted semi-gloss black to be factory correct; but you can leave it if you choose. You've done a lot of nice detailing for a car you plan to drive! Keep up the work! I would also suggest getting some undercoating/ sealer on the firewall before...

If small block 289 or 302? They also had differences! Danny

Kerry, That is the latest non-GT S-code I have seen. I am not arguing that non GT S-codes exist; just that at "some point" in production Ford required the GT option to coincide with the S-code. I was obviously intended to happen some time between January and April 1968. Did that car have the...

I just looked over the 9 pages of Marti Reports posted on this site; every S-Code GT/CS has the GT equipment group! Danny
