Which one, I have 2 different ones listed? Shoot me a PM, I'm open to all offers shipped!

I have a bunch of parts that were sitting around in my garage. I need them to go to a good home, so i f you see something you need here please shoot me a reasonable offer and lets see if we can work something out! I'm not trying to get rich but I'm not trying to give the parts away either haha. These are all FOMOCO, with the exception of the black 69 pedal bracket with roller bearings, that is a repop. Condition overall is original and used but the parts do move freely and in fairly good conditon generally speaking.

I'm looking for a 351W Distributor, I put a roller block together and now I got to get the distributor part figured out. If anyone has a points dizzy that's laying around let me know! I'm hoping I can swap out a factory steel gear from a roller motor onto it and get this up and running. Also, I have a like new Pertronix Flame thrower ignitor 2 for a 289/302 I could trade for something equal if anyone is interested! Thanks!

I ran poly on mine, super easy to install and the ride feels great! The kit comes with the grease to run as well so nothing extra to buy.
-
Factory housing in fantastic shape with highly visible part numbers. Asking 25 shipped to the lower 48.

I have 2 brackets for sale. The unpainted bracket is from a 70 mustang, it's been bead blasted and that's it. Does not have clutch pedal bushings in it, great candidate for roller bearings. The 69 bracket is a reproduction with roller bearings installed. There was a little grinding on the bracket and can be seen in the pic, it was never installed in the car though. The washers werent put in behind the spring locks, one is missing but you could easily pick one up at the hardware store. Asking 60 shipped for the 70 bracket and 100 for the 69 bracket.

I bought these to use on my 69 but ended up sticking with the stock setup for now. These use the larger bearings and are also used by many for the big brake upgrades out there, but I'm pretty sure if youre looking at these you already know that. I'm asking 280 shipped to the lower 48 states, please feel free to ask any questions. I've media blasted them and thats it, they will need to be painted and I would replace the bearings since the ones in the hubs are condition unknown. Thanks!
-
Thanks Bigmal! Everything is original except the horn, that was a reproduction.

Here's a before for reference.

I did mine myself, it was a pain but worth it!

Just an update, Quick Performance returned my call and confirmed that the guides are not needed on aftermarket units due to tighter tolerances.

Man, I've tried that too! I"ve called Yukon twice and left 2 voice messages, no return call and i've emailed them with no response yet. Thats why I was hoping there was someone here who has cracked open an aftermarket Trac loc. Tons of info on ford parts but not much on aftermarket stuff out there.

I did but they are closed on weekends, I ordered the springs from them, guess I should order the guides too and go from there haha.
-
Has anyone in here rebuilt a Yukon Trac Loc? Dissembled mine and it didn't have any clutch guides in it and only 2 springs. Now I know ford used clutch guides but wasn't sure if Yukon did as well since they use harder metal compared to the clutch plates and getting through to Yukon to answer questions has been impossible. If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it!

A ridged headliner offers more options that can make them vary and be unique. Rich stands up for and behind his products. When/If you have a problem you can address it directly with him. Bet you can't say that for TMI. Are you a MTF stalker on multiple forums? Haha
Nope, but I can.say that he is a TMI stalker. When someone says to look at the reviews, well I figured why not. When you do a simple google search and click on multiple ones, guess who was always in there bashing TMI. It's good you're sticking up for MTF, you must have purchased his product. I didnt, so sorry hahah, and happen to love my TMI headliner. Soo when the OP asked about headliners I gave my opinion and didnt bash any other products, just mentioned cost which is a big component for some people and the fact that it's been great!
-
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are both molded to the roof of the car haha. I mean every company that makes regular headliner replacements are all copying one another then. That's great that competition doesnt bother you, it's the american way!! I just noticed you like to slam them every chance you get on multiple forums especially when people say they liked their products.

On 9/2/2019 at 8:20 AM, mustangstofear said:Couple of reasons why TMI who copied our headliner is cheaper. First is a thin layer of fiberglass is considerably cheaper than a sheet of ABS plastic. Second would be the cost of a top quality ceramic mold versus an inexpensive mold for the fiberglass. They sell the headliner to their dealers for 130.00 but they can't afford to ship them, that's why they are all dropped shipped from TMI. Look at the reviews and videos from customers complaining about the separation. Ours will last a lifetime:)
Why do you say they copied you? It doesn't look like MTF headliner, its made differently and according to you its not as good, so is nobody else allowed to make a 1 piece hahah. I'm enjoying mine and it looks great, and once again it shipped free so no worries to me on that part. As for reviews I've seen many that are happy with the TMI one and gripe about MTFs price so I guess its all about perspective and for you since its a competitor you're not happy about it haha.

I used TMI's one piece headliner, way cheaper than MTF! Free shipping and easy install with included sail panels. I did it in my driveway by myself with some clips. Definitely more headroom and the look is great!

Thanks!! I got the switch off ebay, tested it and it was working. So far it works installed with a multimeter, I haven't put it in the car yet.

Finished at my attempt to restore my steering wheel! I dont think it came out to bad, especially for a daily driver!!
-
I don't think it really matters, I just did mine a few weeks ago. I just bench pressed it up there into the car, rotated a little left then a little right and it went right in. I had it in neutral, my thought was it would allow me to turn the drive shaft to put the u joint bolts back on easier by spinning the the driveshaft.

8 minutes ago, ksquared said:That's the manifold heat port. The factory heads pass exhaust gas thru that port on the manifold from one side of the engine to the other to heat the manifold. That improves driveability on a cold motor by improving fuel atomization. Unless you live in cold country, I don't think you will miss it. Most folks who are after more performance prefer a cooler manifold for a potentially denser charge. The system used a thermally operated valve on one of the exhaust manifolds to create the back pressure to push the warming exhaust back thru the port. As the exhaust got warmer, the valve opened up until very little exhaust was sent back thru the port. It was common for those valves to freeze in the closed position causing a rather hot intake manifold and reduced performance from exhaust restriction. Not terribly important on a grocery getter but anathema to guys like us :-)
Yup, I realized this after i wrote that i went to change it haha, coolant shoulda been EGR at least what I was thinking.

I used the TMI one piece vinyl headliner and havent had any issues with it. Plenty of headspace and very easy to install, did it by myself with some clips and through open doors windows down. They dont come insulated but you can put it underneath, best bet is dynamat or something similar. I got I for the same reason, cheaper cost and free shipping over the MTF part. You'll have some haters chime in, but everyone has their opinion hahaha.
