Take a look at the NPD online catalogs for Mustangs.

http://www.npdlink.com

I need the pictures!

That's where I picked up my felt washers. The BIG block Mustangs use a larger diameter than the small blocks ones.

They have a truck catalog too.

Check out the order form. On it they offer prewired kits as an option. Can't be too much more.

Take a look at the system from Enos in California. Says they run about $150.

My cousin Chappy swears by it. Being able to terminate both ends of the wire is priceless.

I'll be getting one for my 64 Galaxie soon.

Have you checked the engine mounts?

I had mine wrong and came up with the same 2" problem.

In your engine picture DS with the header the mount has a 90% tab at the back. Mine has that facing forward.

Just a thought!

Racing F100

I was up at El Mirage Dry Lake this Sunday. High Desert area of Southern California. Just a stones throw from where the Shuttle lands. I ran into a few slicks I thought worth posting pictures of. The SCTA was running a course of, I think, 1.2 miles. There was another mile to shut them down. So 2.2 m...

When I was a kid, OK also after my 1st divorce, I worked and managed a parts store. So I'm used to doing my own research before I hit the store. I came up with some part numbers on the Goodyear website for my '66 with a 352. Should be good for your 390. http://partfinder.veyance.com/ Radiator Hoses ...

I have a tremec TKO500 behind the FE in my '64 Galaxie. It mounted directly to my Lakewood bell housings top loader bolt pattern. I did add a spacer to accommodate the long input shaft. I had the choice of getting a short or long input shaft. I chose the long one because it fit more applications if ...

I've got one too. Came with my '66 Slick. It was the original one and it was replaced with another.

I've been trying to find a home for it. Needs a rebuild. Its future isn't looking good.

I was told it's a medium case cast iron cruise-o-matic.

Oh, it's in Southern California!

I've always used some some wire from a lamp cord and some lubricant like armor-all, etc. I wrap the cord around the outside groove in the rubber. overlaping it a bit. It's better done by two people. one carefully holds the outside while the other pulls the cord on the inside. While you pull the cord...

You might want to check that your bottom pulley holes line up with the new dampner. There is an early and late FE set up.

I'm mounting a '70 F100 Dual master cylinder on my '66. I'm lost on mounting the brake light pressure switch.

I would like a simple T like on 62galxe's picture but the center tap is another compression fitting not pipe like the switch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mine was really easy to tell...

It has a tag on the rear cover that said "Use Limited Slip Diff Lube Only!

I thought I read here that if your truck was ordered with a Ltd Slip Diff, you were given the Dana rear end.

Provided that you still have the original rear end in your truck!

Mystery Solved.
