    68 Coupe Wiper Clunk

    On those few occasions when I'm forced into using my wipers, I hear what sounds like a rythmic "clunk" coming from under the dash (left side - way high up), where I'm afraid the motor is. Does anyone have any words of optimism for me or any reason not to suspect that either the arms are bent or...

    68 Coupe Lights

    Hi Folks- My painter needs my front running lights and I'm at work. My 68 coupe is 2500 miles south of me and the nearest Mustang of any sort is at least 300 miles south. Does anyone have a picture of their 67 or 68 that shows a front corner so that I can pick out the lights and therefore...

    Water Pump Bolts

    My upper-driver's side bolt on the water-pump of my 68 302 feels like its stripped out the threads in the timing chain cover. This is one that goes through and sticks out just a tad. Should I tap a larger thread size or put a smaller diameter bolt through and put a nut on the back. (I think this...

    Door Speakers

    Aside from SN65, where everything is a combination of stock plus new plus engineered, :hail2: , has anyone put speakers into the doors of a 68 coupe? (I know his isn't a 68, or a coupe for that matter.) Were you happy with the way they looked and sounded? Better than the kick panel sound...

    How many Toothed Gear?

    I had new gears plus posi put into my rear end recently so of course my speedo is wildly off. All other things being equal (tires,etc.), what should I go with for my gear (19 teeth?) at the tranny changing from stock 2.80 to 3.50's (or was it 3.55's?). Project is a mostly-stock 68 coupe 302 with...

    Window Parts Prep

    While my ride - 68 Coupe - is in the paint shop, I'm going to get all of the door internals ready to go back in. How best to clean them (Green or Orange stuff?) without the disposal problems of old-style cleaners like gasoline? After everything is cleaned up, should I put anything on them to...

    "Scoop/Swoosh" Trim

    Its been too long since I disassembled my 68 coupe for paint, and now I can't remember - On the skinny "C"-shaped chrome in the rear quarter panel, what do I do with the grey piece between the sheet metal and the chrome piece? Does it get painted the same as the car? Thanks :SNSign:

    Sillplates

    I know that sn65 is having problems with his sillplates and it sounds like they need to be thinner. My question is: has anyone ever found anything thicker than the aluminum foil variety that shows EVERY little poke or jab? Seems like I have to replace mine on my 68 coupe every 3 months. Any...

    Tear-Down for Painting Questions

    Hi Folks- I’m tearing my 68 coupe down for media blasting, and then the rest of prep for paint, and I’m running into some problems – hopefully someone here can give me some pointers: 1) How do I remove the wire/bulb from the socket/lens whatever on the front turn lights and the parking...

    Drip Rail Removal - Conclusion??

    I've searched through the threads and it seems as though removal of the drip rails from my 68 coupe will be: a) A serious pain in the butt; b) Structurally unsound if something else is not done to reinforce the roof connections & c) Not worth the effort if I want them to still be on the car...

    Shifting Too Fast

    I'm not much of a mechanic but I'm working on it. My '68 302 coupe has a nice bit of oomph but if I jump on it, the thing shifts from first to second nicely, but is only in second gear for maybe a second or two before it shifts into third. (T4 auto 3-speed.) Is there an adjustment that I can...

    C4 to AOD

    Has anyone here replaced their old C4 with a re-built "1980s vintage Ford AOD"? What should I figure to spend on a re-build like that plus is the replacement in the realm of something an only moderately half a$$ed mechanic :shrug: like myself could handle? I've read the excellent article...

    Rocker Adjustment

    Hi Guys- I've looked at previous threads and am unable to find my "exact" answers. So can I get a little help? I'm a definite MM mechanic but I'm trying and having to deal with the PO's issues at the same time. Just recently a ticking has started under the right valve cover. So I removed...

    Which Oil to Use??

    On a 302 with 10:1 compression (or so the P.O. told me), in the Bay Area of California. Temperatures in the 55° to 75° range. Any help here please? Brand & weight? Thanks!! :flag:

    Power Steering

    Okay, still dealing with the PO's "mods" here and I would really appreciate some help. I just installed a new (rebuilt) power steering pump and am AMAZED by the difference. I must have had ZERO assist previously. But............. it squeals like a BIG pig at the stops, (belt? too tight? too...

    Tach Type and Location

    I'm looking to buy and mount a tach in my 68 coupe, 302 4v, and would appreciate some suggestions as to brands and where to put it. I've searched the threads but come up empty. Any help out there? :shrug: Pix would be nice too but not necessary. Thanks. :flag:

    Keeping the Vents in???

    How in Thee Hell (my dad always says that), do you keep the vents in? :bang: My 68 coupe that had factory A/C, is a royal pain in the butt trying to jam those things up and get the hoses connected and getting the little plastic "clip" into the little hole while trying to make that spring clip...
