rwcstang got a reaction from TexasEd in What width 9" Rear do I need?
@TexasEd
too bad you are not in SF, California, Im selling my old mustang 67-70 rear end with ford 9 28 spline, truetrac since I converted to a 3link and upgraded to Strange's ford 9 31 TT spline.
Good luck with your search!

They are fiberglass but made with a two sided mold so they are finished inside and out

rwcstang reacted to san408 in Vintage LEDs
I have the front turn signals, and tail lights. They’re fantastic. I know a lot of the people on this board have already given a vote of confidence to these guys, but I can now say you’re all correct. Easy install, everything is exactly like advertised. I’m really happy I put them on my Christmas list. Thanks for the Christmas discount Vintage LED.

its one of my gripes about MDL, they should redesign, or use other resources like malwood as an upgrade, or how you put it, cut the damn thing for you.

rwcstang got a reaction from TexasEd in new project 69 mach 1
We'll I got a new project, purchased a 1969 Mach 1.
got alot of work to do, but priority is gotta replace the cowl/floor boards first and finally rear trunk brace/tail panel/qtr panel. car been through hell, but 90% of the car is there. will post pics of the progress.
had a 351w w/ fmx, all drums, definitely needs alot of TLC, this will be a long project, but the goal is to slightly bring it back to its former glory and go with a original look. paint is super last thing on my mind, so may paint it primer or use a matte color.
Original color was Silver Jade, San Jose car and was in LA most of its life.

rwcstang reacted to Vicfreg in Throttle cable snapped, need recommendations
I used the Lokar stuff, which is pricey, but super high quality and looks good..... and I wanted to also re-do the kickdown cable.

For future questions...I believe that Henry Ford parts are the part to have for 99% of the stuff we use on our cars.

rwcstang got a reaction from Mach1 Driver in Throttle cable snapped, need recommendations
Thanks, this was something I was considering if I the new OEM was bad qaulity.
I ran into another problem which caused the throttle cable to snap in the first place. The gas pedal bracket was missing a bolt against the firewall which was causing the gas pedal to move around when accelerating which freyed the cable, ha, go figure..
bought a repro bracket, return spring and a bracket from NPD, but the bracket didn't fit my current carb due to the secondary primary pump cover and lever in the way, eventually I was going to mod the bracket and was digging through my storage/tools and found a Lokar throttle cable kit and bracket I bought years ago, past me was thinking of the future.
Installed the Lokar kit and it resolved my problem for now.
Happy Holidays everyone!

If the width is stock 28 spline axle in a big housing would utilize an 88128-RA.

Interior panels are easy ,all bolts and screws ,nothing hidden ,except the panel above the trap door ,it has clips ,you will need to drill all the pop rivets holding the fiberglass panels around the trap door opening with a 3/16 drill bit ,try not to wobble them out . The trap door bolts in

UPDATE:
Replaced the check valve ($8 at AZ). Totally revitalized my braking response! Always check the cheap easy repair first!

rwcstang got a reaction from Ivo in Mustang 69 died on the road
yes, the roll pin may have sheared off. I had this happen to me before, I was able to limp it home as it will misfire/stumble, I was nervous the metal pieces would mess up the engine, luckily it do not as it broke into two and didnt fall into the oil gallery or pump.
I wouldn't drive the car or turn it on just yet, take off the distributor to inspect it and use a magnetic pick up for metal debris in the oil pump shaft/gallery, also I recommend testing each spark plug and plug wire to isolate if its a spark issue.
Timing chain is also another possibility, but rare, unless that timing chain hasn't been changed in over a 100k miles as they will stretch overtime.
Check the distributer/sparkplug/wire first. I would also check your coil or any wiring related to ignition that may be damaged or worn.

How did I know it wouldn't be Mustang related? :)
Shouldn't you be busy planning an event?

rwcstang got a reaction from Grabber70Mach in Grill Cover
I went with Undercover innovations, Big noticeable difference in cooling. The temps dropped faster as it directs all air to the radiator instead of having the air hit all sides and try to lift the hood.
you could make your own, I've seen some 69-70 trans am mustang with this setup.
