    Stock radio wiring question

    Does anyone know the color codes for the stock 78 am/fm radio speaker wires? The Haynes manual only shows two rear speakers and makes no reference to a front speaker(s), raising the question as to why there is a fader knob below the pushbuttons. I have five wires from the radio: white/green...

    Does it matter which tranny port is connected to which port on the radiator/cooler? Or is there a required direction for flow? If so, what tranny port connects to which radiator port?

    AOD installation problem?

    Here's what I've got: I just installed an AOD on my 68 using a 28oz, 164 tooth SCAT sfi flywheel from Jegs. When bolting the transmission to the engine, as soon as the bellhousing bolts were tightened, I couldn't turn the engine. I removed the tranny and double-checked the torque converter...

    Scat Flexplate with AOD?

    Anyone here use a Scat 164 tooth flexplate (28oz) on their AOD conversions. They sell for much less than the Windsor-Fox units and are SFI approved. I'm thinking of using one on my 68 j-code 302 with an AOD and am wondering if the Scat unit will work.

    Mystery Part in Transmission Pan

    Well, technically this is a question related to my 68 cougar, not my Ghia, but I'm confident II folks are smarter than the 5.0 crowd simply because they own II's. :D Anyway, I'm in the process of doing an AOD swap and when I pulled the pan off the AOD tonight, I found a small, tan, plastic...

    Tonight when I pulled the pan off my AOD to swap filters, I found a small, tan plastic mushroom-shaped piece just laying in the pan. It's about an inch and a half long, half inch in diameter with an o-ring around the top part. Anyone recognize it, and more importantly, anyone know where it...

    AOD Flexplate question

    In looking for a flexplate for an c-4 to aod swap, I've run accross specs from some vendors indicating a 11.5 inch bolt pattern and others 11.4 inch. Are there two different 164 tooth AOD flexplates or just sloppy measurements?

    Tilt-away question

    My 1968 frequently won't start unless I pull hard down on the steering wheel while turning the key. I presume there's some sort of safety switch in the steering column, but where is it and how do I get to it?

    Tach Trouble

    The tach on my ghia recently went south. It seems to work fine until I turn on the signals, headlights, or heater fan- then it jumps around and when it does settle down, it reads 2x the actual rpm. I replaced the tach adapter with a good one to see if that was the problem but it made no...

    Cleaning lacey wheels- any ideas?

    How the )(#&)$#* do you clean between the spokes on these lacey wheels? All of the dremel type wire brushes I have found that actually fit are too small and soft to do much good. Is there a trick to this? Should I blast them with a fine media? :shrug:

    A Wheelie tough decision

    I'm in the process of getting my Ghia set up for a club autocross at Road America next month and realized that the 14 inch Datsun wheels I purchased last year (with the intent to re-drill to a 4x4.25 pattern) can't be re-drilled because the center hole is too large. As I see it, aside from...

    )#&$)&#@_)! spark plug hell

    To think I used to complain about changing that #4 plug in my Ghia. Last night I spent the better part of 6 hours changing the spark plugs on my wife's Navigator. It was hell... at times I was forced to lay across the engine while straining my arms and hands into positions I never thought...
