Reverse switch install

[Reverse switch install]

I have no experience with that harness. Sorry, can’t help with that. 
 

Looks like that yoke is sticking too far out of the transmission extension housing.

I had similar hose but higher up. In my case they were for the trailer hitch mount.

Some good reading in this post. Unfortunately it is a quite a bit of reading:

[Trouble positioning door window]

The door glass is not the same for all models. Coupe/convertible windshield posts are at a different angle. Thus the windshield and door glass are different.

Ridge,

Do you also produce upper rear trim panel for a fold down?

[69 Mach 1 - Lifting Points and Jack/Jack Stands]

My recommendation. Would be the frame rail where it overlaps with the tq box. NOT the large flat area of the tq box between the frame rail and pinch weld as it has no support in that area.

[Speedometer Head aftermarket?]

Speed being inaccurate is doubt is a result of the cable or the speedometer. The driven gear on the cable needs to have have the appropriate number of teeth for the rear axle ration & tire diameter. If you want to do the math go for it but there are online calculators that will do the math for you. Here is a great example. Note: It asks C6 if 4 speed to provide the correct correct left or right helix gear. If using another trans one will need to know if the trans uses left or right gear.:

That's kinda what I was thinking but how do you get full weight on the wheels up on a hoist? I guess hoist at the wheels somehow?

4 post lift, on ramps, cribs or a few cinder blocks in the front yard if you want to be redneck.

[Subframe connector installation question]

In general I agree with the full weight of the vehicle on the suspension is a good idea. However, if the car is solid and the panel gaps are to your satisfaction without the engine and trans I would not be afraid of installing without engine and trans.

How much wider is a 1971 ? Would the spring perches be wider as well ?

67-70: 54 1/4”

71-73: 55 3/4”

[mustang part]

Is this what your looking for? I have a few but I’m not sure how to tell left from right or front from back. One has 573-A LH & R stamped on it. The other has MS. Other than that does not look any different from one another.

64-73 have the same spring pad center to center width of 43”.

[What width 9" Rear do I need?]

@TexasEd

I know of one for sale here in Dallas, my body guy. Complete minus drums. If your interested I can put you in touch.

[What width 9" Rear do I need?]

While there are always variances I do believe the spring purch are 43” center to center same as the frame rails.

[What width 9" Rear do I need?]

Thanks for the confirmation @Caseyrhe

[What width 9" Rear do I need?]

@TexasEd,

While my measurements are accurate to this housing it appears my housing is NOT for a 67-70 Mustang/Cougar. I never intended to mislead anyone and apologize for any problems this may have caused!

 

Good news is now i get to spend some more money.

 

54 1/4” is what I have read elsewhere for flange to flange. This falls inline with @det0326 measurements. Add 5” to that and you 59 1/4” for axle flange to flange. This is also what I have read elsewhere.

Removing post to help avoid any further confusion.

[Oil pressure & water temp sender wiring.]

I ASSUME what CJ is selling is the same as the rest you may find that will slip on a #8 screw. If it is to loose perhaps squeeze them with a pair of pliers to tighten them a bit.  If to tight you might try to split the internal socket with side cutters so that it may expand.

@TexasEd,

Thank you very much. You confirmed I do have an incorrect piece but it is NOT the one the body shop thought was incorrect. I have one coupe/convertible and one fastback. Coupe/convertible are longer than a fastback.

[69 coupe from SVK]

I do not have the answer to your question but I do have a suggestion. Please consider buying the tools or take the parts to someone that has the appropriate tools to measure rather than trust plastigage.  

On edit, here is the answer to your question in regards to "A-2" & "B-1", at the end of the video.:

[Frame jig with liskey measurement help]

I was inferring you were just replacing the rails forward. Guess I should work on my reading comprehension as I get older.... I see now! 

My car is currently with my body guy or I would happily take some measurements for you. As I recall the inner rocker & outer rocker should lineup & the bottom 90 deg bend should be even with the inner & outer rockers. I think I would start with getting the frame rails lined up per the drawings above & then line up the floor with the bottom of the rockers then clamp tograther. Next I would start clamping in the frame rails, core support per the drawings above. If all of that looks good put on your doors, fenders & hood to see how things line up. If you can adjust everything to get the lines correct start welding it all together. DO NOT weld anything until you have trial fit everything.
