I need a new starter motor for my 302w . I was wondering if the Tuff Stuff Starter motors are any good. Cheers Mark.

Unfortunatley this is only a guide Bernie. You could order what ever stripe colour you wanted back in the day. My gulf stream Aqua has the black interior so the chart indicates black stripes. I found traces of the gold stripes on my original fenders so i went with that. My build sheet doesn't even state what colour was used just that one was ordered.

Yes all my photos from the Project Progress Forum have gone. Maybe it’s time to abandon this section if people’s photos are going to be deleted from time to time. I also understand why this happens and thankful that we have admins that look after the site . Just no point having this section of our forum if there’s no pics .

Reuse them if you can . It will save you some time. I had to change all the parts out due to a previous owners dodgy repairs.

I’m using the Go EFI 4 600hp. I’m not using the timing control function atm as I already had the msd setup. I went in tank pump and used the stock fuel line as the return.

I have been running a FiTech setup on my mustang for a while now. Cold starts are awsome even after sitting for weeks. The ability to tune on the fly is good. No issues from me.

Someone’s been a good boy this year. Love it. Congrats.

I had pretty much the same issue on the front light buckets to fender area. Like others have said , use a quality filler and you will be fine. It's pretty rare that they lined up from factory. Even now I'm hearing that the new mustangs imported to Aus are going straight to the panel shops to get the front panels aligned properly.

I’m not sure Aslanefe. As it’s an auto once the motor starts it never dies until I shut it down. I will check it out .

My brake warning light goes out once the car starts.

Mike I wanted the 3 point belts as I didn’t like the way the original belt cuts into your neck all the time. Also the fact that the originals have seperate buckles for lap and shoulder. Keeps it simple . I also added a drop link .

The hood tach I purchased from eBay. I just pulled it apart, stripped it down and painted it the same as the hood as they only come in white. It works great and I’m very happy with it. They are still available .

Cheers Neil. It’s a factory A/C car so they come with the tinted green colour glass. I also had a local mobile tint guy here in Perth put some darker stuff on.

Like RPM said they started building them in late 68 . I'm not sure what month the production run started but someone may chime in on this. My build date was 15 Nov 68.

Celebrating the 50th birthday of my mustang today. I purchased it over 10 years ago from Oregon and shipped it to Australia where it’s had a well deserved restoration. I hope I look this good when I turn 50 in a couple of years lol.

You know you married the right one when it’s your 24th anniversary and instead of going out for a romantic dinner she’s in the shed giving me a hand doing a compression test on my 302 .

Your not wrong there Bigmal. The cost of getting anything down here from the US is crazy .

I found a 1 litre overflow that fits just right and mounted it just behind the grill. Works great.

What 17 yr old wouldn’t love driving a cool red 69 Mach 1 around. Unfortunately my 18 and 20 yr old sons will never know lol.

Do they have any type of gasket or is it just steel on steel on the joint.

Im looking at getting some shorty headers for my 302 in my 56 F-100 project. Currently running block huggers but with the new power rack and the new mustang 2 IFS they won’t fit. I’m looking around and most of the shorty headers have a ball and a socket flange arrangement. Are these any good or am I better of trying to find some with the standard 3 bolt flange. I’m worried that the ball and socket with only two bolts will leak. Thanks Mark.

Thanks mate . Yeah looks like its gonna have to be in that spot.

Thanks Bigmal, Thats exactly were I have my MSD box mounted lol. Im thinking about the passenger side but in front of the radiator support between the grill.

Drivers side core support is out as my AC drier and hoses go through that side . If I remove the washer bottle it’s a possibility. Does the overflow tank have to be the same height as the radiator tank for recovery?

Im thinking about installing a radiator overflow tank on my mustang. As my 69 is an A/C , power steering 351w there isn't a lot of room in the engine bay. Just wondering what others have done and were they mounted the tank. Thanks Mark.
