ah great info: My Mustang by rwctagger My Mustang by rwctagger, on Flickr My Mustang by rwctagger, on Flickr -
I have the scott drake that looks like the 69-70 buckles. The buckle is smaller than the OE, quality is not great, you definitely need to enlarge the mounting hole for the bolts to be installed properly. Also, If your tall and set the seat all the way back, the lower part of the seat will interfere with the belt retractor and after awhile the plastic brakes off and won't retract sometimes. the belt length is much shorter than OE Design so if you are a big guy like myself, these are not it, you may need to install an extender bracket. With the OE design, I had much more wiggle room. I'm sure others will chime in, but I'm actually looking for a different set or just might go back to the OE as Im not happy with Scott drakes quality and fitment.

Thinking of upgrading mine to 3 point front seat belts. Are there any available with Ford style latches ?

My parents bought mine as they needed a second car when it was 11 years old, in 1981. I bought it off them in 1987.

Here's a link on a how to post pics here. As @Ridge Runnersaid, it's like using the old PhotoBucket site.

I installed all the glass on a 70 coupe a few weeks ago after paint; spent a lot of time adjusting to get them right so my memory is fresh. Let me know if you can't figure it out.
-
Welcome back, Happy New Year to you too. Good to hear from you. You have to host the pictures on a different sit like Flickr, then copy & paste them here. That is what I do.

Just wanted to stop by and say hello! its been awhile! Sorry I haven't been posting much. I was out of work for a bit due to the major tech layoffs In CA but took some time off to enjoy the car and travel before I found work again! so far, Im done with my 69 coupe and just enjoying it! now Im bored...so I am now looking for another 69, but this time an FB or mach1 keep your eyes peeled if you hear anything f/s. wish i could post pictures of the coupe, but I think pics uploads are still disabled. seems the site slowed down with traffic a bit, Hope everyone is doing well!
-
ok, I'll take the door card off and see if I can figure that out, but I tried to do it in general before I put it together and could not figure it out. Thanks

Great place for rebuild parts: https://www.afscarbs.com/cobrajet-boss-parts-and-kits Pictures must be hosted elsewhere and image link added to your post:
-
I can't seem to post a pic, but the 3 numbers for build date are 975. That puzzles me if I'm reading things right. It would mean 1969, July, but 5th week? Carc was built October 69. At any rate, it appears this carb is original. Will kit it. Thanks! Great forum!
-
Once can not decern if the carb is the orig unless they have meticulous maintenance records from new. Best case one can verify if the numbers on the choke airhorn and the metering plates coincide with the correct model carb with an appropriate date code.: https://www.boss302.com/carburetor.php
-
Keep everything that came with your car. The info you seek is stamped on the forward portion of the carb horn. The BOSS 302 Forum would be your safest bet for reliable information. Brian

Today I topped off the master cylinder with brake fluid & did a few more pumps of the brake pedal & the connection still looks dry. Next up bleed the brakes.
-
How does an owner know if the carb on his engine is the original? Is the numbers on the carb recorded someplace? Not that it matters, but need to kit my carb, and can swap for one already done. Just want to keep stuff as original as possible. Thanks
-
can i email my pics to a member who can load ? The poverty caps are unique. TIA

To much power and harder to hold

Any reason why you are not using air impact hammer which is cheaper?
-
A valve will work but I need to temper the stem ,also have to figure out how to keep it in the tool . I was thinking set screw but the cone is stainless steel and I can't find a bit to drill through it ,then I would have to tap it for the set screw. .you do need a air regulator because you need to turn it down quite a bit . If I can figure a way to keep the valve in the tool I can try it on a panel ,I have just tried it on wood so far .

You have to be set on full BB code for pics
-
Well crap ,it won't post pics !
