    Anyone with the JME Instrument Cluster in a '68?

    How is the quality? Are they as nice as they say they are? Everything but the tach wire plugs right in to the stock wiring harness, is that true? For the price that they want for the Instrument Panel they had better be EXCELLENT quality, and almost install themselves!! hehe I haven't seen one in...

    Finally got the 331 running yesterday...It LIVES!!!

    It's been a battle, but I finally got it put together, dropped it in the '68, and it's up and running. DSS 331 stroker lives!!! Broke the motor in with stock exhaust manifolds so as not to mess up the finish on the new coated headers. Dumped the oil and filter, and put in another 7 qts., set the...

    Help, '68 289 died, need info on crate motors, and installation!!! The 289 in my '68 fastback just jumped timing, and it's not pretty. I'm going to put it in a corner just because it's the original engine, but a 302 crate motor is going in. It's not a race car, but street performance / cruiser...

    My C4 is leaking from the shift arm shaft. Looks like the trans has come apart to change the seal. Tell me it isn't so, and there's a way to fix it without dropping the tranny out and tearing it apart! :Damnit:

    Anyone using MSD Blaster2 coil with Pertronix ignition?

    I've converted my '68 points distributor to a Pertronix Ignitor. It works fine with the stock coil, and my car does not have a ballast resistor. I got an MSD Blaster2 coil to replace the stock one now (regular 12v coil), and it came with a ballast resistor to use with points ignitions. Since...

    New Bushings & Front Strut torque question....

    I just finished the front suspension on my '68. The spec on tightening the front strut to body mount nuts in the manual is 60-80 ft. lbs., but with the new bushings (they're stiffer than the stock ones) they don't collapse the same. Does anyone have a good guideline or information on how much to...

    Shelby Drop & tire clearance......

    I'm rebuilding/replacing the entire front suspension on my '68 fastback, as well as adding a Granada disc brake conversion. While I'm at it, my intent was to do the "Shelby Drop" also.

    Best place for body panels???

    I'm in the process of restomodding a '67 coupe. I have to replace both rear quarters, outer wheel houses, and the tail light panel. I've heard that the body panels from some suppliers have a lot to be desired as far as quality, and fit. I've gotten parts from many Mustang parts places in the...

    Mustang + suspension parts......

    Hey guys, I just picked up a '67 coupe project. I have a Mustang + catalouge that has what looks to be some pretty complete suspension kits under the Grab-A-Trac name. Since I'm planning on replacing all of the parts anyway, I figured the whole kit is the way to go, but I've never seen any of...
