replacing a 2 spoke steering wheel
69volunteer replied to edwardthomson51@yahoo.com's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
I believe they reproduce the 2 spoke wheel. I have considered getting a new one as mine the horn contact mech in the wheel has gone out (or something else havent dug too far into it yet). I would advise against the Grant wheel. The wood rim looks cool but the horn mech is an issue. -
That has been rebuilt too but glad you brought that up. Something to look into.

When I restored my car 8 years ago, the pump always gave me trouble. It would all of a sudden stop adding power at slow speeds and I would have to crank the heck out of the wheel or it would whine when making a 3 point turn. I have had it rebuilt twice by local shops. I recently drove my friends 65 falcon and it was like driving Ms. Daisy. Nice! Before I scrap this setup all together, what replacement pump should I look for? My thought is those would be reasonable to swap out and not have to completely change everything. I was thinking something other than Rockauto or Napa but maybe that is the way to go? Thanks!

Why wouldnt you just pull the coil plug? For those of you who have 4 spd cars rest assured that a large chunk (and getting bigger every day) cant drive a stick 'so I got that going for me'. Not to mention even more people wouldnt know how to open the hood (where is the hood release on the driver kick panel?). I agree that a little piece of mine is still needed and have had similar cars that have little switches between the coil and the distrib hidden somewhere under the dash.

What ignition system for an EFI?
69volunteer replied to Mach1 Driver's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
keep us posted on your EFI setup. What version did you end up using? -
I believe you discarded the AN fitting an bra I believe you discarded the AN and braided line and going with 'factory'. Barnett--i like those fittings. Do you have a source?

1969 Mustang Sportsroof For Sale

Very nice! Where are you located? -
I think if you farm the work out to a machine shop, the rebuilt heads will be MORE than the eddy heads.

This says it all. I have been through one totaled car experience and while I EVENTUALLY ended up being satisfied, it was a beat down trying to convince the adjuster my 8.1 liter, 3/4 ton, all luxury items, 4x4 suburban was not the same as your run of the mill 2WD 1/2 ton. Granted we were only talking a few thousand dollars but comps for classics cars are all over the place.

Interesting! I also have Hagerty and have had them for over 10 years. I picked up another project recently (which is why I have not been on this forum lately) and my daughter is asking the same question about driving. Would also like to teach her how to drive a stick with this new project once its done. Thanks for alerting me to this....

I found a complete cluster with tach years ago, it was pricey then. I saw a 'period correct' hood mounted tach on a red 69 the other day. Talked to the guy and I cant remember where he said he got it but it looked awesome. Totally different look to the car. Good luck

Correct way to Burp the Radiator/Anti-freeze
69volunteer replied to mark69sportsroof's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Review all the threads about the after market senders. I tried 3 from various suppliers and they all read hot once the car warmed up. I bought a NOS off ebay for reasonable and that solved my problem. -
Thanks for all the responses. Good to know.
