Big Secz 26 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Anyone know where I can find a replacement one of these plugs? Mine was removed when I had the engine bay repainted and I need to replace it. I circled it in red. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7tRedMach 10 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Big Secz, You can get it from CJ Ponys PN-HW148 cost $.95 with free shipping. You coming to the Central Virginia Mustang Club Show again this year? Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Hey Big, Do you have a manual top on your car? I'm trying to figure out why you need that plug at all because I could swear on the 69' that's where the cable to the power top switch comes out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buening 63 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 I've always wondered what the plug was for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Secz 26 Report post Posted April 18, 2011 Sorry guys I forgort I had posted this question. Pak, I have a power top on my car. The body shop removed the plug and never put it back after I had the engine bay repainted so right now its just a big hole. Need something to plug it up. 7tRed, What are the dates? I know they have two shows a year. I'd lvoe to come back down again if my car holds up. I have a power steering fluid leak right now and I haven't had time to trouble shoot it.

Need something to plug it up. Did you locate your power top feed wire that goes through the firewall and to the starter solenoid? IIRC it is a circuit that attaches to the solenoid.

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted April 18, 2011 My 70 vert with power top did not have the power top relay harness running through there. Doesnt that one goes into the cowl? If so it's probably just a clean out/ drain I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so it's probably just a clean out/ drain I believe. As you see from my picture I had the same plug. Like you had mentioned I too thought it was just a clean out. I just needed to find a replacement plug. I checked and a previous poster was right, CJ has them. I just hate placing and order for $0.95 so it's a good excuse for me to add a couple small ticket things to my order.....I just need to figure out what to add.

Fordrevhead 29 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 LOL, I have shopping carts all over the place like that!! It's a sickness really. Yeah, as you can see from my pic the one I had was very rough but original and sat in a barn since 1978, so I took a lot of pics to document weird stuff.

Big Secz 26 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 I'm giving serious thought to ordering the Borgeson PS upgrade kit. Might wait a little bit for CJ to send me a 10% coupon. Anyone ever installed these before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7tRedMach 10 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 Big, Yes, CVMC has two car shows a year, The first is a participant vote show open to all makes and models on April 30. The All Ford and Mustang Show as you know is a judged show on Sept 24. You can get more info on car shows and their dates at the Car Club Council of Central Virginia website. You can also see a pic of your car from last years fall show. If you upgrade to the Borgeson system keep us informed, I too would like to install their system, but I don't think they have a kit for a 351c with full length headers yet.

Paul I'll probably make the September show. I'm hoping to order the Borgeson steering upgrade kit pretty soon. Just have to get the ok from the boss, my wife. I have play in the steering that makes it hard to keep the car in a straight line when at highway speeds, I'm hoping the kit eliminates that. My only concern is if there will be enough clearance with my shorty headers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
