    Brakes; Disc conversion, Power, SS lines, questions!

    Awh, don't tell me that! I would rather be on the safe side than putting everything on and finding out the wheel won't fit - does anyone know positively? I don't even know what my Magnum 500s are off of, but they are original 60-70's era 14x7. I would be open to going the scarebird route, I...

    Leaky drum rear brakes

    Degreased my whole rear-end and drum brakes - quite obvious there was leaking after doing that lol - and in the process uncovered my missing rear-end tag! WCZ-V1 2 79 7CA 930 They also listed like 5-6 axle retainer gaskets, depending on the size of hole - anyone know which off-hand? I can...

    Leaky drum rear brakes

    Good instructions, thanks! I figured out I need 2 axle seals, 2 bearings, and 2-4 retainer plate gaskets, then a shop to press the bearings. Local NAPA just shut down, but Carquest in the phonebook actually advertised pressing axle bearings! Sweet, gonna order my new third member and replace...

    Leaky drum rear brakes

    I just noticed that I have the *exact* same leak, but only went so far as taking the drum brake cover off to diagnose. Smelly, oily fluid built up at bottom of drum backing, leaking from the 5th hole. I have a 100% stock 1967 small-block rear end (2.79:1 gear, 8") - what seals should I buy to...

    67 coupe rear spoiler; not GT/CS style

    Let me know what you come up with as well, I have a chin spoiler that I love on the front of my 67 coupe but I have always felt the car looked a little unbalanced with the stock trunk lid. I have considered the shelby fiberglass, but I like the MUSTANG lettering and chrome appearance trim too much.

    Brakes; Disc conversion, Power, SS lines, questions!

    Hey Dan I emailed you but haven't heard back yet; I am *really* interested in buying one of your front disc kits if they install while keeping the stock clearances - I don't want my wheels moving in or out. I would also like a master/booster combo that will work with no modification to my stock...

    Brakes; Disc conversion, Power, SS lines, questions!

    Well, after living with stock 4-wheel manual drums for the past 4 years I've decided something needs to be done. First off, much of the brake system is still original; I've only replaced the master cylinder to a dual bowl, put on new pads, and spring kits. The system is currently filled with...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    Quite possible, as far as I know this radiator is not manufactured any longer; bought from cj pony parts 6-7 years ago. 20" 4-core brass, the pre-drilled mounting holes do not line up with the radiator apron but it is mounted nearly as low as it can go, almost touching car's frame. As with many...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    Uggh, I am back to debating what to do. 1) 6-blade 15" clutch fan, shorter Hayden 2765 thermal clutch (to place fan 50/50 in shroud). 2) 6-blade 16" nylon fan, 1" spacer, no clutch. I read the nylon fans move a ton of air, super light, and 16" would give me 0.5" clearance at bottom...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    Alright, I guess I've made a decision on this then. Went back out an looked at how much lower I could mount the shroud on the radiator - not much. I could gain maybe 1/8" if I cut a lot of the bottom off and then I would have to pack foam around the rest of the edges because it wouldn't sit very...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    Every dang thing on these cars is a chore, I swear! Buy the most innocuous part (say my new vent window handles) and it never fits without modification! I'm going to do a 17" clutch fan and just cut the bottom off this shroud. 3/4 of a shroud is better than no shroud, and the fan runs nearly...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    Alright I found a 15" clutch fan, which is tiny, but will fit no problem. Is there even a point to using a shroud if the fan blade tips will be like 2" away from shroud's wall though? 1) 5-blade 18.5" fan with clutch and no shroud (been there for years, no boiling over, but I haven't really...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    A 17" clutch fan would fit it perfectly, if the engine sat a little higher - no way am I replacing the motor mounts at this point, and my air cleaner probably would not clear the hood if I did. As it is, a 17" fan barely scrapes the bottom of the shround (tested with everything mounted), a 16.5"...

    Borgeson Box install

    I am very interested in this part myself! I do not want to bother with one of the leaky stock systems, and rack/pinion is not going to happen. I don't know what kit to order from Borgeson though, they only list ones for 65-66 and 68-70 - what about a late-year 67? I have emailed several of their...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    So I have a thermal clutch on my stang that was using a huge 5 blade fan with no shroud on a 4 core brass radiator. Decided to order a shroud one day because I heard that's the smart move - fan doesn't clear it (20" standard shroud fits the radiator fine). No problem, I'll buy a smaller clutch...

    Upgrade time! Brakes, steering, rear-end advice

    If I am buying a complete brake line kit, would I want the one sold for OE manual drums, single exhaust, V8 like my car came equipped? Or the one sold for complete power disc V8?

    Upgrade time! Brakes, steering, rear-end advice

    This is some great advice, I will definitely be keeping my 8" rear-end and doing that install myself. For brakes I came across this today: Mustang Parts Ford: 64 - 73 Mustang and 67 - 73 Cougar,Mustang Brake Conversions,frontrearbrakeconversion 11" fronts should fit? free shipping too. They...

    Upgrade time! Brakes, steering, rear-end advice

    I've had my 67 coupe "finished" for several years now, won many trophies and drive many miles. Now I'd like for it to act more modern. 1) I need to do at least a switch from manual front drums to power disc brakes; however, they must fit inside my classic 14x7 magnums. I've found lots of...
