Re: Ranger Fender Emblem Inserts

I picked up a set from someone else on this list a couple years ago. I will look to see if I can find their contact information for you.

Re: !962 Heater core

If you have a decent radiator shop in your area, they can usually repair heater cores as well.
Give them a try.

Re: stock suspension parts needed

Well, I have a set of lowering beams on my '66, but still have the stock springs.
How much lower is the front with both the beams and the cut springs.?
I might be interested in swapping the front springs.

Thanks!

Re: Rusted out / Bare Hulk / Parts truck - For Free - You ha

YAY... IT IS GONE!!!

Local salvage yard just came and picked it up and hauled it off.

And now a lot of pieces and parts that I kept will live on in my restoration project.

I am reconditioning an Autolite 4100 for my '66, and am missing some of the choke pieces. These pieces should be ...

Re: Swapping out an "MX" transmission for a C4

I don't believe that there is a stock bell housing for a C-4 that will bolt to a FE engine. You will have better luck finding a C-6 transmission out of a car or truck. They are way stronger and more plentiful than a C-4. Plus no adapter is needed and maybe need to move the stock cross member just a...

Swapping out an "MX" transmission for a C4

I have a chance to get a C4 tranny from a '68 Mustang. I currently have an MX tranny in my '66 w/ a 352. Is it worth my time and trouble to do a tranny swap? I think the pros are that the C4 is not an orphan tranny (part are still available for upgrade/rebuild) whereas the MX is probably not as open...

That hole is for the wiring from the dash to either the gas tank level sensor or dome light, both at the back of the cab.
