  1. I used a tunnel mount style from a 91 Accord in my 65 mustang. A little reinforcement and the cables hooked up to the Ford backing plates. Works great but not with a factory console.
  2. Try West Coast Couger they have alot of great parts. 503-463-1130 http://www.CougarPartsCatalog.com
  3. Very cool, I have a S code, 4 speed car also. Lots of fun.
  4. I used to work in a shop and then went on to sell auto paint, we carried PPG,Dupont,BASF,and had House of Colors also. It is a personal prefence on these brands of paint. House of clolors was mostley a 3 stage paint(base coat,tinted clear coat ,then final clear)very hard to polish and very expensive. I likied PPG and Dupont both but found Dupont's system a little more user friendly and the cost about the same.
  5. I also have a stock 69 S code and run a new Holley 770 Street Avenger on it and it works fine (not to big). The Edelbrocks performers seem to have a richer Idle circit for a larger than stock cam so it might be a little fat @ an idle but I would run it their great carbs.
  6. It goes from your oil pump to the filter, thats why on an old motor with sludge you change the oil quickly. And for somebody with an old motor its worth a try to salvage it . There could be alot of life left in them I've seen it do good more than once. There was an logger friend of my dads that ran an old Ford f150 with a 360 motor and after it got 100k on the motor he would put 4 qts of oil and 1 qt of diesel in it and that truck went another 100k. I wouldn't do it but I've seen it done.
  7. It is a great cleaner, on an old sludged up motor it works great. I had a friend that bought an old truck that was all sludged up from lack of oil changes and shorts miles had it had a lot of lifter noise , and after a couple of series of oil and atf it quieted right down and ran many years. I wouldn't do it on anything but an old motor that had lack of service though.
  8. A 9" from a 72 and back F series is only 61" wide and a place like Dutchman doesn't charge all that much to redrill to the 5 on 4 1/2 wheel pattern and then you have big brakes. Ive bought 2 of these and the most I paid was $50.
  9. The specific gravity for AV gas is lighter than auto fuel so if you run it more the 50% you need to jet up for it or it will run lean. But any motor above about 10 to 1 will like it very much. If you have never run it before it will clean out varinish and deposits and on one motor, the float bowels on my Holley started leaking but once that was taken care of it ran great and about the same price as super unleaded. My Holley jets were 72's and I bumped them up to 75's and the plugs looked great running straight AV gas.
  10. Go to any good parts store and they can sell you a reducer just know which pipe you want to go over the inside or outside of, sold quite a few of them when I used to be in the auto paint and parts industry. A good tempary fix for you.
  11. These will also work on GT40P heads if grind off the casting flashing,
  12. I have a extra set of 351 4 barrel manifolds, I got them for my 65 to put on a 302 with GT40p heads witch they will work on but the 65 chassis is to narrow and they will touch the shock towers but will work in a 67 and up car. They look just like the Hi Pos but are a little bigger. Id go $100 for the set and their bigger than the ones on E Bay, they look like 2 barrel manifolds.
  13. No need for a center console, it come with its own and then you trim it to fit your floor if needed.
  14. I have a factory tach and have a tach adapter between it and tha msd box.
  15. Most of the time when you lose a coil its gone but if you have an extra you might try it, the first thing to try is unhook your tach. sometimes they will go bad and ground out your ignition. Just a few things to try.

  17. It wont help you much unless you do the other mods to compliment it which would be the eghaust first. I used to sell auto and performance parts for years and some people would change the cam first and then wouldn't be happy with the way it would run untill they made the other changes.
  18. My buddy put a set of GT40ps on his 67 with hipo manifolds and they work great so I did the same thing for a 65 and like you picked up 69 4 barrel windsor manifolds and they were going to work great until I tried to put them on the car and they will work on a 67 and later but no on a 65 66 car, no room they are just big enough they hit on the early cars. I ended picking up some Sanderson shortys for the car and I still have the 351 manifolds, any takers.
  19. I think it would matter where your cam cams in at and what kind of speed you'll take it down the road and use that to match it up to the ratio you need because if you get to far below your cam your mileage and power can suffer and you can go to far the other way and you'll have good power but the mileage will suffer.
  20. The 1971 thru 73 spoilers have a shorter pedestal and narrower bolt down spacing. I have a factory one for a 71 that I'm not going to use because I have a 69 Mach that I would part with, and I have both tall and short pedestals with it.
  21. I see that your in Oregon also I have a 69 4spd s code here in Pendleton.

  24. There was some good article about zinc and oil lately and the vr1 oil is one of the ones recomended to use with no additive needed.
  25. A buddy of mine has a new Track Boss 351 intake for that mod that I know that he will part with. Send me an e mail or call me @ 541-969-8705 PST Days, no late calls
