  1. sorry to hear that hope you have a speedy recovery.
  2. Not sure if anybody makes a direct fit for an AOD in a 69 but you could get lines for a 87 to 93 or so mustang v8 that should get you to the front but would need manipulated to get to cooler. Its been a while since I did this conversion tho so someone might make them now I don't know. If you use the copper nickle tubing it is easy to bend and flare if you decide to make your own.
  3. Bob does your starter spin the engine as it should with out anything heating up abnormally? If it does I'm not so sure this has anything to do with your breaking starter issues. While I would like to see a sufficient cable from battery to engine block on the grn side, I not sure if it is needed because the trans does have a pretty solid connection to the engine. I may be completly wrong but I think you have other problems
  4. Bob if test 1. was a 2.3v drop test 4. should have been equal or a little more of a drop than 1. You may want to check those two again. By the way a 2.3v drop is not good. Maybe time to run a copper cable from batt grn to engine block
  5. Has this flywheel been on the engine the entire time you have had starter issues?
  6. I had the OEM starter on my 351w in the beginning and had the same problem as you mentioned about heat soak because of headers. I changed to the PMGR starter and that seemed to fix the issue, my engine had a CR of 10:1 with AFR heads. Another thought crossed my mind. Do you have a 157 tooth flex/flywheel or 164 set up. While the 157 tooth should not cause your issue it would add extra stress on the starter.
  7. I can see voltage drops causing high current killing starter solenoids but in all my time (and I am old) I have never seen low voltage break starter/ring gear teeth or starter snouts. Some how I believe this is timing related. While I don't know you personally Bob, I do know from reading your post that your timing is set with a timing light and is spot on. Not sure how you are controling timing but could the advance in your distributor be sticking or if using a aftermarket box could it be at fault?
  8. Scotty said he never heard from you. Are yo still interested?
  9. not sure if it sent correctly or not. let me know if you got it.
  10. Scotty does have a pair and sent a pic of them. As others have said I can't upload a pic. I ts a pic he sent me in messanger on face book. Are you a member of facebook?
  11. messaged Scotty today and he said he had something going on at his girls scool today and would check as soon as he gets back home today
  12. will do. happy to help. Im surprized u cant find these in Texas closer to you. I guess they are getting scarce.
  13. I have a message to him. He said he would look over is yard nand see what he could find. His name is Scotty Strickland and is on facebook. He lives up around Oxford NC
  14. where are you located. I know a place( upper NC) that might have a donor part
  15. Not sure about the coupe. I seem to remember a thread on here a few years ago about that. i don't think it was being made at that time.
