I previously owned a 1968 GT coupe (not a CS) with the J-code 302. Standard axle ratio was 3.25 because it was a GT. Mine was assembled with a 3.00 ratio and was listed on the Marti Report as "Optional Axle Ratio". Terry

Don't know what year truck you're looking at specifically, but the F150 brochure for 2014 shows a maximum loaded trailer weight of 8,000 lbs to 11,300 lbs for the 3.5L EcoBoost, depending on the spec of the truck (cab style, 2wd/4wd, rear axle ratio, etc). I've owned two of them. Never towed...

Here is a Marti report on a '68 Mustang GT with standard nugget gold interior and deluxe steering wheel. Sorry it's hard to see, I pulled it from a recent ebay listing. The photos of the car on ebay show an aftermarket steering wheel unfortunately. Terry

I have a '68 deluxe steering wheel that needs restored that I have been holding onto for years. My car didn't come with one originally, but they sure look good when restored. As Neil said, not cheap to restore properly. Terry

Really nice looking car Marty. I love it. Thanks for sharing! Terry

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you could get a GT or GTA in 1967 with the 289-2V (C code) engine. In 1965 and 1966, the GT option required a 4V engine (A or K code those years). As we know, 1968 was a very odd year for many reasons, one of which was the initial return to...

I have the 205s on my '68 GT with the factory chrome styled steel wheels. They work well for me, the ride is nice and they look good. I've thought about switching to a radial with the "pinstripe" white wall like the original Firestones, but I haven't been able to find one on the market yet. I...

In the case of the Chevy 302, I think (IIRC) that it was a 327 that was "downsized" by using the 283 crank. Terry

The 302 in the Z/28 was rated at 290 hp in '67, '68 and '69. Grossly underrated in terms of horsepower, as was the Boss 302 of the era. Both were spectacular powerplants for the day, IMHO. Terry

Rare Boss 302 engine for '68? Oh excuse me, "302 Boss engine". You learn something new every day..... Terry

After viewing the eBay listing, I'm not even sure where to start. So I will stay quiet. :rolleyes: Terry

I have an MSD "Ready-To-Run" distributor that calls for a full 12V, similar to the Pertronix situation. I added a nice relay that Pertronix sells, triggered by the circuit containing the resistor wire, which remains intact and unmodified. Full 12V then goes to the distributor. I mounted the...

OK Tom, we will look for you. If not, then good luck with the surgery and let us know you're doing ok. Terry

Happy (belated) Birthday Tom. I will plan to stop and say Hi in Carlisle. Hopefully the weather is decent. Terry

Definitely a "1 of none". :rolleyes: Terry

Great looking car. Especially if it's a factory GT. Love the black deluxe interior with the sunlit gold paint, really sharp! Terry

I believe that even the AM radio was optional in 1968. I don't know about the tires on this car, whether that was the standard size or not, but it's essentially a NO OPTION car, other than the GT/CS. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I must say, I don't think I've seen one so...

Comp Cams High Energy 240H. That is the smallest of their "High Energy" line. Very smooth idle, ideal for stock applications with stock gearing. Anything is going to be an improvement over the stock cam. Just ensure you use quality valve train parts. Should give you many years of...

Very neat car and gorgeous! Peculiar in that it's an X-code with minimal options. I love it! Terry

Robert, I have a 14" K&N drop base air cleaner, chrome lid with a 3" filter. All pieces are brand new and I'm not planning to use it. If you're interested, PM me. It should work well with your application. Terry
