Take a look at; Bendix SBC34 or Raybestos PGD14. I run the SBC11's on my 65 and think they are just fine. Brian

The back of the right/passenger side head to the firewall is another stock ground location. Brian

One of the clues to a leaking intake manifold is ' you can smell oil in the exhaust '. Depending on how much the ' 1 qt. per 150 miles ' bothers you... You may not want to start down this road ? If the oil is not on the ground ? Then it is going through the engine somehow and will show up on the plugs or in the exhaust. If the car runs fine and you don't do a lot of regular commuting I would wait until one of the clues becomes more definite. Not for everyone. Brian

Driveshaft end to end. Includes the U joint mounts. Does not include the U joints or yoke. Brian

Norman the 69 Shop Manual has several diagrams of the info you are asking about. These diagrams deal with 68-69 FORD parts and are sometimes less than helpful with after market installations. Brian

I like that. I finished my career in construction with all the parts I started with. Not so much patience or care as just dumb luck. Brian

Take it to a shop. Let the pro's repair and warranty it. Brian

Snapping Blue spark will tell you a lot about the coil and is easy to check. Brian

FWIW... On a 69 Mustang the turn signals won't work if they are not installed. So if yours are just hanging loose the installation screws provide the needed ground. Brian

So take the air cleaner housing off and see what happens. Brian

Good questions and suggestions. For me a quick and eazy check of gas flow at carburetor, coil connections, snapping blue spark, a check on the distributor rotor rotation and a check of the timing mark with a gun would be a starting point. Brian

… and all of this for the rear disc brakes ? Brian

From the MPC may be hard to see...

Kind of a funny topic and seems to be some variation. My car for example is more like 2 inch's with the clutch pedal being higher. Stock OE 69 parts, pedal support, 11.5 clutch assembly, Bendix booster and stock PDB's. Correct pedals and stops. Master cylinder NAPA M1929 w/1" bore could provide some variation from stock ? Regardless the clutch pedal in most cases is higher at rest than the brake pedal. Brian

Thanks for the post. I like to hear of a problem solved. Brian
