    thanks for your pics guys, if you can also get pics of the ends from the underside, there are also changes in the moulds there. more interested in a shot of each different marked pad, unless you can see that the underside is different in similarly marked topped pads. please excuse my...

    1968 68 steering wheel pads

    I have ripped the vinyl off a bad one already, and I am after another bad one to rip the steel out of. If anyone has some crap ones, let me know. technically, they are 2yr items, as 69's used these as standard wheels also. but many would have been replaced over the years with the optional...

    1968 "original" A/C Install Questions Please Help ID Parts

    the stuff you have is for early cars, so a cali special may not have had this 67 based set. it would probably be un noticable for most anyway, so I wouldnt worry. I am technically doing the same thing to my car, it had all onderhood parts removed when they changed the engine. my underdash stuff...

    Heavy Duty Suspension V. GT package

    My J code is non 9" and i have seen a lengthy thread on VMF (i think) that confirmed beyond reasonable doubt that only GT J codes had the 9". to add to that, my non J code which had heavy duty suspension, doesn't even have a dual exhaust... so they were pretty much just a warm version of a...

    1968 Engine Questions

    yes, true about the 302 block used for 289's, but sounds like your block is swapped, so could be a 302 inside too. the guy who sold me my car said it was numbers matching... my original engine was long gone, i had a '74 302 block, E7 heads, and a C4 with 9Kxxxxxx partial VIN (same plant as your...
