    Can't hep ya, but that's gotta be the highest AC compressor mount I've ever seen. Ironically I bought that same mount used from a buddy, and cut it up to use to mount it much lower on the right side.

    Thanks RPM it does look high, hopefully someone here may have the measurement I'm looking for or know of another mounting bracket that will do the job. Cheers Phil

    Keep spreading the word for early detection. My daughter-in-law's father recently found out that he has terminal prostate cancer. He was the sort that rarely went to a doctor. He's in his mid 70s and this probably could have been prevented. Now its chemo and radiation just to prolong his life. Its taking quite a toll on their whole family.

    Sorry to hear your news, prayers going out for him and family.

    All the Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year 2023 to all. Time has moved on so quickly since the last post on this thread. I just don't want to see this thread die as keeping it alive could be lifesaving. With me I have been very fortunate that my PSA reading hasn't changed still >.008 since having my Prostate was removed just over 4 years ago. I will continue monitoring my PSA once a year for the rest of my life. I hope that others here that have had Prostate Cancer issues are also on the improve. If we can PLEASE all keep passing the word around to family ,relations, and buddies that a simple PSA blood test once a year could be their lifesaver. It's so sad that Prostate Cancer is still taking the lives of 70 men each week in Australia and 660 men each week in the US and this number CAN be lowered by more people spreading the word. 21,000 diagnosed last year in Australia and 268,000 in the US. A question you can ask to start a discussion is What's your PSA reading and who knows it might be the question that saves someone's life. Please if you haven't started monitoring your blood PSA once a year make it a New Years Resolution to begin doing it now, so should any change occur in the years to come chances of your survival are increased by early detection. Awareness + Action = Longer Life 

    Cheers Phil

    Happy New Year everyone.

    Hoping that someone may be able to help me. I am looking at installing airconditioning back in my 1970 Coupe 302 windsor. It originally had selectair air-conditioning but this was removed when car was converted to Right hand drive in Australia by previous owner. I have attached photos of a mounting bracket I am looking at buying with a Sanden compressor on a 302 windsor and was needing the height of an original mounted compressor to see if this mounting bracket won't make Sanden compressor to high and hit underside of my bonnet.  In the photo it shows 9 inches from center of top mounting bolt to top of mount on Sanden compressor, I need the measurement from this same bolt on motor to top of original air compressor on 302 windsor. Cheers PhilScreenshot_20230101_163844_eBay.thumb.jpg.b57be4d5433b537eda500925efd0416f.jpg

    Pictured is my Mach 1 trunk lid.  The trunk light was also an option for my car but not ordered.  The harness connection was provided but never used. Yet there seems to be multiple locations available for a trunk light?  The one discussed here is near the trunk latch.  What were the other two cut outs for?  Just curious, Brian

    69 Trunk Light Location b.JPG

    Brian I think that I have seen near the hinge in your photo is where the wire goes through, there is a plastic clip that is attached to the small hole that holds the wire and a thin grommet ring that goes around the large hole to prevent the wire going through large hole from being cut then wire goes through lid to hole near latch and the light bracket is held in place there with a screw. As in photos of 69RavenConv above.

    My blue "Motor's Auto Repair Manual 1971" lists 12-16 ft.lbs for 302, 18-24 ft.lbs for 351 exhaust manifold (for years 1969-1971) with clean and lightly lubricated threads. Did not see anything on sequence/specific order.

    Did it say that these torque settings are for manifolds with no gaskets used ( as they were when originally installed new at factory) or with gasket as I'm doing?

    I placed this enquiry on another site and 2 others said torque up to 30ft.lbs.Just worried about over torque as can cause cracking of manifold.

    Hi Phil, sorry I was wrong; the clip is not a simple bent piece. See pictures below.

    But I think you can make a clip like the ones used on heater control cable ends at the heater box or a clip to attach a conduit to wall and secure the cable

    Phil, as far as I remember the clip is a piece of bent sheet metal and the screw is sheet metal screw. Similar to the ones used on heater control cables. If you have the ability to make them yourself, I can take pictures with dimensions of the vents on my 70 Cougar.

    I thought that the hole was for a screw but it may not be ,the clip could have a small tag that goes into the hole & the other end of the clip clips over the top edge of bracket.If you could take a picture of yours & dimensions I may try to make them if I can't pick a couple up.Cheers Phil

    There is a spray on high temp cast iron paint ,i think it is duplicolor but cant remember for sure . I used it several times and it works well . The trick is to warm up the part being painted first . After the manifold is installed only run the motor long enough for the manifolds to warm up ,do this a couple of times and it will bake the paint ,if you let it get to hot right off it will blister

    Ridge Runner I had sent you a PM.Cheers Phil
