Preperation to paint a 68 CS grille brought about some questions. Used the search feature to read up on this project but need your help on a few issues. First, three colors are mentioned and seem to be used, DE 1651 Duplicolor (A cast blast type of paint, lowgloss), A DDL number from ages ago...

Does anyone have a suggestion how to hook up the plastic rod that connects the gear shift lever to the shift indicator light under the console. I replaced my shift linkage and shifter bushings from underneath the car while installing an AOD and must have let the little plastic rod get unhooked...

Trying to identify the source for the transmission slip yoke used with the c-4 to AOD transmission swap. Looking for possible doner vehicles or the Hollander Interchange number to use the stock driveshaft with the AOD. Do all AOD driveshafts have the same yoke or does this project require a...

Anyone have photos or prints of an X-member for an AOD swap into a 68? Any hints or advice? Will the stock dual exhaust "H" pipe clear the AOD. Anyone use a Ron Morris X-member for this swap?

Can anyone recommend a brand or source or ID# for LED replacement bulbs for our tail lights. Looking for a bulb that is brighter than the stock bulbs in both the tail light and turn signal mode. Some reports indicate that a switch to certain LED bulbs lessen the brightness of the tail lights -...

Want to buy a LOKAR cable kit for throttle valve on an AOD transmission. Contact via this forum or PM or email to <j.w.murphy@comcast.net> Thanks!

I am asking this for a friend who is trying to finish up a black with red stripes HCS. His problem is the color of the outline on the HCS badge on the quarter panel air scoop. On the images of original cars we have found the outline of the badge has been the same color as the stripe. In other...

Once again, HELP! Would some or all of you look under your dash and see if there are courtesy lamps? The Osborn Factory Assembly Manual shows them listed for "all models EXCEPT with air conditioning". Of late I have seen some very well preserved survivor cars with no lights under the dash...

Trying to identify the small screws that mount the base of the twist lock hood pins to the core support. The present ones have such a small head that they hardly hold the mounts in place, and I am curious what others have found in their unmolested cars. Is there an AMK replacement for these...

Looking for information and/or images showing the paint daubs used on a 68 GT slotted wheel, along with images of the rear side of the wheel showing how the argent overspray overlaps the black paint. Also interested in your advice on a correct argent paint for the outside of the wheel - anyone...

The time has come to purchase a new front bumper. On the car is a generic (I think) bumper that is distorted and has poor (kindly stated) chrome. Is there a reproduction front bumper currently being sold that fits and looks good. Locating and replating an original bumper is not an option just...

Trying to hunt a used radiator for a 68 302 with AC that has the correct stamping on the parts. Can anyone provide an image of the top tank of an original radiator. The car in question was built April 03, in SJ,CA. Interested in seeing the FOMOCO script, and if an original radiator has the "...

Once again asking for help. Can anyone provide an image showing the correct, original location for the vacuum check valve. The car used the dual outlet valve, and has both swing away/tilt steering and factory air conditioning. Have the original type metal check valve (at last) but not sure...

Looking for a replacement for the F70 14 Wide oval tires used on the GT cars. A 215 70 r 14 seems to fit the bill in size but has anyone found a tire with the thin whitewall that is closer to the outer diameter of the tire in that size? Want the driveability of a radial tire with the...

Once again looking for advice and guidance. Working on a GT/CS with a RED standard interior, trim code 7D. Purchased a few rattle cans of "rainbow" interior paint and dye but after experimenting with the ash tray and glove box door it is plain that the color in the can is WAY WAY OFF! So, has...

Is there a reason that the rear windows will not roll down all of the way? Neither side will "go down" and I had just put that on my mental list of things to do when winter arrived. Now my buddy who has an HCS happened to mention that neither of his windows will roll all of the way down...

Some time ago, I posted a plea here to help locate the little round plate that secures the spare tire in the trunk on cars with the optional slotted wheels and on all cars that are real GT Mustangs. That little round plate turned out to be one of the most difficult parts to locate for a 68...

On some CS cars as well as run of the mill 68 Mustangs I have noticed that there can be a little retainer in the shape of a "fork" holding the bulb and socket in the pot metal light assembly for the turn signal indicator light in the hood. I have no picture - sorry - but am unable to post an...

One of my Lucas lenses has a "bullet hole" from a rock, still functions but things such as that are bothersome. Where can I pick up a lens and what should I expect to pay? Have always used the black protective covers since buying the car but removed them while drying off the vehicle after a...
