The original color was Autumn Green, not a very attractive color. We had the owner check out the new 2019 Bullitt green, he did and we are going with that. I think it will look really nice.

Maybe the fuel pump? I have heard fuel pumps make that type of noise. Doesn't sound like valvetrain. Do you have a mechanics stethoscope?

On a 69-70 you just need to trim the inside edge of the radiator support to get more clearance.

CV from everything I have seen after 24 years in the auto business that milky gunk in the radiator & the inside of the valve cover sounds to me like you got coolant in the oil.

I just Noticed I did not post anything about my PITS / Sevierville Tn trip. I had a great time and the car performed well. Did the poker run, a little drag racing and then 2 days of car show. I was outside both days, it was cool even with the sun out. Its mostly newer cars with only a handfull of 1st gens scattered about. Seems I did not have 2nd gear the entire trip (I trailerd up from Miami) so did not try a Dyno run. But, as I was driving it all over Sevierville/Pigeon Forge, I was noticed by the NPD rep (Holy crap, there is a 69 Shelby driving on the Poker Run!) who decided I deserved the 1st gen NPD Sponsor award. 100 awards were given out and mine was in the top 20. So here I am at the drag strip. It had been a misty rain all morning so the track was a little wet. Nobody, even the big tire guys were hooking up on this 1/8 mile track. My trans was auto-shifting from 1st directly to 3rd, but then wanting to downshift to the non existant 2nd gear. So in my last run, you see me get ahead, but then fall back as I am peddling to try to keep it in 3rd. https://www.redshost.com/media/2019PITS/Video/English_Mountian_Raceway.html Here is my photo gallery followed by just a few other writeups of the event. https://www.redshost.com/show/2019PITS/index.html http://www.mustangandfords.com/news/1903-npd-ponies-in-smokies-brought-mustangs-to-mountains/ https://www.fordmuscle.com/event-coverage/ponies-in-the-smokies-2019/ http://www.mustangandfords.com/news/1904-ssp-mustangs-wow-the-crowd-at-ponies-in-the-smokies-2019/ http://www.mustangandfords.com/news/1904-ponies-smokies-2019-awesome-engine-gallery/ https://www.fordmuscle.com/event-coverage/top-ten-fox-bodies-ponies-in-the-smokies-2019/ https://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/newsroom/2019/04/ponies-in-the-smokies.html

I dont know why none of the hoses come without a spring in the hose anymore. the rubber is no stronger and probably softer than before, so i doubt technology will be there for us when it collapses and overheats. So in case you cant find one ( like me) here is how i made mine in 2 min. 3/32 stainless steel tig wire 1" black pipe and vise grips/ Problem solved! Pics are out of order, but you get the point,
