    Where to find speedo drive gear for BW T10?

    I'm trying to replace the speedometer drive gear for an early Mustang T-10. Apparently these gears are pretty difficult to find, so I'm hoping someone out there might know where to get them. If they really are impossible to find, anyone know if/how I could make a drive gear for a top loader work?

    1969 Rear Seat Differences

    I was wondering if the rear seat in a coupe is the same as a convertible. I was looking at deluxe interior upholstery and noticed the coupe was a different part number than a convertible. I've always been under the impression the seats and upholstery are the same, is this true?

    Rear sway bar installation problems

    I'm installing an ADDCO rear sway bar on my '69. It's the type that runs along the axle and mounts to the axle tubes and frame. I bought it without any instructions and I'm not exactly sure how it attaches. Could someone copy the instructions or possibly take a picture of it installed? I'm...

    Distributor Installation Question

    I installed a rebuilt distributor and now I can get the car started... I've done this before so I don't understand what's going wrong. Once the distributor was installed I set the engine at TDC and wired the cap accordingly. I tried to set the distributor to about 10 degrees advance. At...

    Help With Convertible Top Pad

    I bought a new top from NPD along with the padding. I opted for the cheap padding because it's supposedly "like original but not correct material" and $80 cheaper. Well, I opened it up and it's just two pieces of junk material that were sewn together. It looks nothing like the padding that was...

    390 bored to 427

    I came across a 390 that was recently rebuilt and bored to a 427.. or so the owner says. I think it's out of a 69 or 70 pickup. Its been built up a bit, runs well and has a C6 trans. I have two questions... what is the engine worth? Also, I have a '69 convertible that had a 302 stock. Would the...

    A few carburetor problems

    Well... I have an Autolite 4100 off a '66 in my '69 302. The engine is mostly stock except it has electronic ignition. I intended on driving this car a bit more now that gas is $3 and the 351 convert gets 15mpg. But this thing actually seems to do worse on mileage. I've got a few questions...

    Pics of '69 Convertible

    First time posting pics of the convertible. I drove it to Northern AZ over the weekend and took some pics overlooking Strawberry. The car runs great and easily passes all the import cars as they desperatly try to climb the mountains. Athough I quit laughing after my first stop at the gas...

    Is this the end of the second muscle car era?

    All this talk about rationing and lines at gas stations is crazy. I filled the mustang up and put $50 freaking dollars into it!!! I'm sure the classics will be mostly immune from this (considering they aren't driven regularly), but what about the new ones (svt fords, hemi, etc.). Gas prices made...

    Power Brake Problem!!!

    I feel like crying... the only thing that I never replaced on my car finally seems to be dying. I have a '69 with power front disc brakes and it isn't stopping very well. A few days ago I drove the car and the wire that holds the cap on the reservoir broke loose, thus I drove the car with the...

    Why won't alternator gauge work?

    I put a new battery in my car along with a new alternator and voltage regulator (original style). Immideatly the battery began to spray acid all over the engine compartment, so I replaced the voltage regulator with an electric one I had laying around. That stopped the battery from over charging...

    Rough Idle caused by electrical?

    I have been screwing with a 69 mustang with a 302 for some time. While idling the car bounces a lot and sounds like it has a slight miss. But while cruising the car runs well. I checked the plugs and wires (8.5mm) and cant find any problems. I advanced the timing at idle to 10 degrees BTDC, and...

    1966 Fastback A code 4-speed worth?

    I found a '66 fastback with the 289 4v, 4 speed, in need of a total restoration. The car looks like it has a ton of miles on it, but i think it still has the original motor/ trans. It has the standard interior with the fold down rear seat. It has a little rust in the floor pans, but nothing that...

    1969 Trunk Mat and Well Liner

    I was about to order a trunk mat, filler board, and well liner from NPD. Should the '69 have the "spatter" or "plaid" design, and is it best to get the cheaper vinyl or stick with the crazy-expensive MCA approved burtex mats. Also, does the well liner for the convertible come with the cardboard...
