Here's a link on a how to post pics here. As @Ridge Runnersaid, it's like using the old PhotoBucket site.

I can't wait...

Several years ago I drove my brothers 69 428 Super Cobra Jet with stock manual steering. It was a beast, and drove like a dump truck. Shortly after I came across a freshly rebuilt Chokostang manual steering box and gave it to him. A couple years later after he installed the rebuilt steering box I drove his car, and what a world of difference. It felt like it had power steering. I immediately sent one of my manual boxes to Dan for a rebuild. I've driven my car with manual steering for several years and won't give it up unless I have some sort of physical ailment that prevents me using the manual steering. The key in slow speed turns is to make sure you move the car before turning the steering wheel.

Exactly the same combo I used, with the exception of using a manual steering center link instead of the adapter. Easy to drive around town, and will soon the tires on demand. I did stroke mine to 393ci. Cuz, ya know, I have testosterone.

This pic?

I unfortunately have the same issue. I haven't looked into it but I'm thinking it's the quarter glass that needs to be moved rearward to provide the correct fit. Someone's got to know for sure.

What's even more crazy to me Daryll is that I bought my 69 when it was twenty years old. It sure seemed a lot older than Jim's 2005 Mustang. I also bought my first 56 F100 when it was twenty years old, and it felt ancient when I bought it.

Oooh...Gulf Stream Aqua is a great color.

Welcome to the forum. I recommend doing as little as possible to get it running while your dad is still around. I have had a 750, 680, and currently a 600 cfm Summit M2008 carb on my stroked 393 with AFR 185 heads. The 600 is plenty of carb, and it has never run better than right now. I have a small 268 hydraulic flat tappit cam, and still had to fly cut the pistons to clear the 2.10 valves. Mach1 Driver is correct about the 2v (H code) and 4v (M code) having different compression ratios, the M code 4v had 10.7:1 I believe, and 290hp, which ain't bad. Just remember when you change one thing on these cars, it affects three others, which you have to address. Good luck on getting her back to burning rubber.

Nice score Jim. I'd put it on the red car, then paint the hood satin black.

I couldn't agree more Terry.
-
Jim, we need you to get a hold of Terry, @Mach1 Driver, and teach him how to post pics :)
-
Ha! Right you are. Forgot about them.
-
Huh, this thread didn't show as having new posts for me, otherwise I'd have jumped in last Friday. Sorry about that.
-
Dang Jim, look at you being all tech savvy and stuff. Nice work on your 35! I'm gonna have to take a drive and visit you one of these days.
-
Send them to me and I'll post them. Or... Follow these steps.

Here's a good to on posting images. There should be a rubber cushion attached to a bracket which mounts to the pinion and also one mounted to the end of the tunnel to keep the pinion from rising too much. -
@TexasEd dude, you hit a home run with your restoration. The Mustang Steve Bash will be up in Hurst TX this year, and just a short three hour drive for you. Hope to see you there.
-
I tried to find pics of the brackets but failed to find any, so I crawled under her tonight and got a couple. I'll see if I can get some better ones for you. I bought them used from an old cat who couldn't remember where he bought them, or who made the brackets. The flat bars mount to a bracket that bolts to the four bearing retainer holes in the housing flange. No, I haven't hooked up the brake cables yet. Top flat bar is almost horizontal. Bottom flat bar.

We are so blessed to have Randy and the udder electrical engineers here. Thanks to all y'all.

What year, make, and model rear disc did you buy? I have 2001 Cobra rear disc and welded a connector tab to the back of the inner U bolt.
-
I'd guess because they want you to match the slots in the lower control arm mount.

You're only limited by your imagination.

Hey Ed, When my son made my door panels we went down to a local upholstery supply shop who had a good selection of textures that matched the original pretty well.
