RPM reacted to a post in a topic: 1965-73 Mustang Fuel Filler Necks modified to ELIMINATE Splash-Out

Been quite a while since I updated anything in this thread, but I've been pretty busy since 2 YouTube videos went live last Summer. Prior to these videos, I averaged less than 2 sales a week ... since then it has been over 11 a week. Then in December a guy who was the 2nd buyer of a '67-68 Camaro neck did a 3rd video. Ben Kahn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5DpO7jYhso Andy Kruse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJmidPJkWv4 Eric Coronado (1967 Camaro): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsVWP9aFNDs&t=30s Anyway, last September I decided to branch out into some non-Mustang applications and just yesterday I successfully modded necks for '71-73 Mustang, '71-74 Maverick, and '71-74 Comet. These 3 have a special baffle spot welded inside which with some effort (15~25 minutes) I was able to remove these baffles so an insert can now get up and into place. Might be others out there like this that could be done as well. Non-Mustang applications I can do include: 1960-65 Ford Falcon (3 variations), '62-65 Ford Fairlane (Sedan & Hardtop only), '66-69 Ford Ranchero, '69-70 & '71-74 Ford Maverick, '67-68 & '69 Mercury Cougar, '71-74 Mercury Comet, '67-68 Chevy Camaro, and '67-68 Pontiac Firebird. I also bought a tube bead roller and am now cutting normal '67-68 16 Gallon Zinc Necks for 20/22 Gallon tanks that end up being almost dimensionally identical to the expensive Conversion Neck. Have also cut a '65-66 Powder Coated neck (matched a sample of a customer's cut neck that was shipped to me for an insert & re-bead), but it is less of a match to the real '65-66 Conversion Neck so I need to get one of these to someone with a '65-66 and a 20 or 22 Gallon tank to see how it really lines up before I start promoting it. Looks Like I can't attach a "pdf" anymore, so if anyone wants a copy of the NEW Mustang Price List or the Non-Mustang Price List email me ... stangs.r.me@gmail.com Thanks, Doug

I might have one as well from a '73 Mustang 302. I'll have to look when I get home to see if I still have it. Yep ... have one D0AE-6312-C 1970-73 Mustang, Cougar, & other Fords 302, 351W, & 351C (per www) 3-1/16" H Outer AC Pulley ... 8-7/16" OD Middle ... 7-15/16" OD (est) Inner ... 6-5/8" OD (est) Low miles ... been in my parts collection since 1981 !!

If a twist on type, turn it counterclockwise to remove. Scott Drake and likely others offers a kit that adds a locking function to any classic Mustang twist-on gas cap. It is a pin type thing that you need to open the truck to pull the pin back so you can then turn the gas cap. Pretty cool, I just stumbled on it on CJPP this past week ... Scott Drake ACC-9030-LOCK Mustang Gas Cap Lock 1965-1973| CJ Pony Parts ... maybe your car has one of these !! Doug

IIRC ... 1970 only. Clock came std. on all 1969 with woodgrain dash ... aka Deluxe Interior Decor Group. Doug

I still have genuine Ford replacements I bought in 1982 from Circle City Mustang on my Hardtop doors ... paid $17.45 Each !! The short quarter glass ones were NLA at that time so I cleaned up my originals the best I could. In 2005 I bought a full set of PUI from CJPP and replaced my outer quarter glass runs and put the inner door ones on a set of repro Dashes Direct deluxe door panels. The inner quarter felts are still very nice and did not want to try and deal with the staples anyway. The PUI repops are nice, but not a match to the OEM profile which is partially why I did not change out the outer door felts. These 2005 vintage PUI outer door felts measure closer to 1/2" ~ 33/64".

Battery in my '69 lasted 17 years !!

Looks like OE Ford Autolite batteries are again available as a reproduction ... https://turbostart.com/product/s24f/ Pretty pricy for a driver but maybe not to those in the "concours" crowd. Doug -

stangs-R-me replied to stangs-R-me's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Wow all impressive results guys ... all of you beat me by a long shot as far as actual miles driven & usage. Never had to replace a battery in any of the 5 Mustang daily drivers that I bought new since 1994. I kept them for 4-6 years and drove 100-130k miles. Found a runner up in years, but again beat me as far as miles & usage: A friend bought a 2003 Chevy S10 brand new and he replaced the factory Delco battery around 2018 so he got 15~16 years out of this one.

Back in 2006 Checker Auto Parts was marketing "84 Month Autolite" brand car batteries. Logo on the side of the case had a classic look to it, so I bought one for my '69 Mustang and one for my '67 Fairlane in early December 2006. Sold the Fairlane in 2010, so I don't know how long that battery lasted but the one in my '69 was still cranking strong this summer. Not a ton of miles in the past 17 years but it has always been plugged into the same classic 1.75A Battery Tender year-round. Cleaned up terminals once a year and topped off with distilled water when needed. Well, it was last driven sometime in September~October with no issues and this past weekend it was time to put it to bed for the winter and "no-crank". Cleaned up the terminals, and still no-go. Put it on my bigger charger and got it up to 80%, dropped it back in and it cranked but very slowly. This battery finally gave up the ghost ... I don't think I've ever had a car battery last this long !! I now work at a CarQuest auto parts store so a DieHard Gold replaced it. Never was a huge DieHard fan when it was part of Sears, but it is now just a name owned by Advanced Auto Parts (as is CarQuest) and the batteries are still made in the same factory as the former CarQuest brand batteries were.

The fill plug is on the cast iron removable center section, not the stamped steel axle housing. On the upper left (driver's) side of the center section ... IIRC. YES, factory 302 2BBL cars came with the 8" differential. Doug

Ididit tilt columns now fit FORD
stangs-R-me replied to Mach1 Driver's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
When I did my research in 2017 on the EPAS Kit that comes with a modded Ididit column for 1969, I thought there was a 1969 Boss 302 owner that bought and installed this kit. Pretty sure he had a stock steering wheel too. Here is the EPAS kit on stang-aholics site ... even states it works with stock 1969 steering wheels ... https://www.stang-aholics.com/i-26613555-1969-mustang-electric-power-steering-conversion-kit-with-ididit-tilt-column.html Here is the Ididit standard 1969 Tilt Column (non EPAS), it also states it specifically fits the 1969 steering wheel and uses a Ford T/S Switch ... https://www.stang-aholics.com/i-31643324-1969-mustang-ididit-tilt-steering-column-black.html?q=ididit Doug -

stangs-R-me replied to Mach1 Driver's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Terry, I would think the factory Tilt/Tilt-A-Way would be an awesome upgrade and worth $350 more than a new Ididit tilt column. Especially if it is complete, ready to bolt-in and 100% functional. If it needs rebuilding/restoring and/or missing parts, maybe not. Doug -

Way cool, great find !! I see also that my modded bracket I did for the Vac-Sec Summit carb would not work on the DP Holley. Must have that narrower bracket on the RH side that the JAK Bracket has to clear the DP linkage. Doug

A 1" thick spacer is too high with my intake & ram-air set up. Read my post from June 12, 2021 ... 1/4" thick spacer is the max I can use. Thanks, Doug
