    What is correct paint scheme for 69 coupe side scoops?

    Hi, Someone t-boned my 69 Coupe in January and I finally got the OK from the insurance company to have it fixed. As I remember the car when I bought it from the original owners, the side scoops had a black background with the body color for the test of the scoop. When I had it painted in...

I saw mention of painted aluminum Mag 500 wheels from American Racing that come in 15" and 17" diameters. Does anyone have any first hand experience with these wheels that can comment on their look and...

    Hot air choke hookup question

    Hi, I've got a 1969 Mustang with the original 302 engine sporting the factory autolite 2-barrel carb. Will my existing hot air choke tube coming off the exhaust manifold hook up to the Autolite 4100 without any modifications? Only if I use a vintage factory 4-barrel intake? Thanks! Chad

    Shop Manual. Paper or electronic?

    I think I am going to pick up a set of 1969 Ford shop manuals. I can get it electronically via download for around $17 or purchase a hard copy for around $60.

    Bought from TruDesign Wheel or heard of them before? OR where to buy Mag 500 wheels?

    These guys sell a Magnum 500 wheel using an original center welded to a new steel rim. Good thing is the black center section is powder coated for better durability over painting. They also double chrome the wheels instead triple chrome plating. Not sure if that matters or not...

When I put it in storage, I filled the tank w/ 91 octane fuel and added fuel stabilizer. Now that I took it out it idles rough and doesn't have much power when you step...
