I looked up the Patriot headers on Summit and it says that they are not a fit for a 69 Mustang. The Advanced Auto site says the same thing. I'm assuming Advanced told you they would mount up initially?

I'm wanting to install long headers on a 69 351W and looking at a set of Doug's D623 (ceramic) and JBA 6612SJS (ceramic). Does anybody have any experience with the fitment of these long headers on a 69 automatic 351W with power steering? The guy at Summit racing is telling me they will fit, but I'm reading comments on the site that they won't if the car has front shock towers because of clearance issues. Any help here? I posted another thread and had several recommend the shorties, but I like the idea of the added power with the long tubes.

What size exhaust pipes did you run? 2 3/4"? 3"?

I have a stock 351W in a 69 Mustang convertible with three speed automatic. The engine is basically rebuilt stock with a Edelbrock 1406/600 CFM carb and stock exhaust manifold. I'm looking for suggestions to boost horsepower in increments. Exhaust? Intake? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!

I see a lot of recommendations for the Heddman shorty headers. Any issues with them leaking?

Mine is a 69 351W as well but has automatic transmission. Any idea if I'd have any clearance issues because of the automatic? Just out of curiosity, what did you use for mufflers?

Just curious why you opted for a shorty header as opposed to a full length header? Was it simply to avoid the clearance issues? Do they provide the same level of performance as a long header? How does it sound with the Magnaflow mufflers? Thanks

What is the 20% promo code if I might ask?

Thanks for the comments. Sorry for the late response. I should have added that the front has already been converted to disk brakes. The car is new to the wife and she is having a hard time with the manual brakes so I'd like to convert to power. I did see Vicfred's comments on the master power brake conversion kits and will contact them directly as suggested. I will likely buy their recommended kit and have a local shop do the conversion. Thanks!

I have a 69 mustang convertible, automatic, 351W. I'd like to have a local shop convert to power brakes. Currently looking at a Master Power Brake Conversion Kit on CJ Pony Parts for $388. I would purchase and have them do the installation. I have no experience here and do not want to buy something that is poor quality or does not work. Any suggestions or recommendations here?

I have a 69 standard convertible, automatic with stock 351 Windsor. The exhaust is stock and would like to add a little horsepower and improve the sound of the exhaust...give it a nice rumble but still be able to hear the radio. Any recommendations on headers and exhaust?

Some great ideas to ponder. Thanks!

Any idea where to find a template for the door mounting location? My model has never had any mounted in the doors?

That makes sense. What about any recommendations for the actual replacement radio? I see some options on Classiccarstereos.com. Any other places I should be looking? Thanks again for the input.
