I've seen mentions that there are two different manufacturers of the reproduction deluxe woodgrain wheels, but I don't know whether this is (a) true and (b) true for the 67 wheels. I'm hoping someone here might know about this one way or the other and, if so, might know who the manufacturers...

The pressure hose cracked on my power steering and I lost a bunch of fluid quickly. The good news is that I first heard the telltale groan of a pump low on fluid while pulling out of the garage, so I was able to pull back and and shut down without running the pump very long. I replaced the line...

For bad reasons, I had the 67 parked on the street this morning, when a car slid into a third car parked behind mine. The middle car, a late model Audi A4, bowed my rear bumper and pushed the bumper guards into the rear valance. The pop-off gas cap may be damaged, but I can't tell because of the...

I think the alternator in my 67 C-code is dying and will need to be replaced. Over the last year or so the car has been having problems with the new modern radio that uses a lot more electricity than the one from the early 1990s and I think the headlight conversion is drawing more too. What do...

Hi, all. For the second time this year the brass float has popped free in my tank. The last time, when I drained and pulled the tank, I found that not only was the float rattling around in the tank but also the filter from a prior sending unit. I figured that perhaps the two had collided...

I had my local Mustang body guy weld on a new spare hold down bracket after the old triangular one was lost in an earlier botched restoration. He used a different type, but I can live with that. The problem is that the bracket is now several inches fore of where I would think it should be such...

I'm trying to set my long term plan for the trunk in my 67 convertible. Right now, I only have the well liner between the trunk and the passenger compartment. I want to install a steel trunk divider with some dynomat, both for noise abatement and as a potential firebreak in the event of a...

I'm having problems with getting a proper (or any) reading on my fuel gauge. Last summer I paid my semi-local Mustang shop to fix the sending unit, which at the time showed empty with about five gallons remaining and full at anything over ten gallons. It worked wonderfully for about a month...

With some trepidation, I ordered a Custom Autosound front speaker. The model purportedly for integral AC cars (C7AZ-18808-DVCA). What arrived from the vendor is a speaker with two things that concern me. First, the glue affixing the mesh to the rest of the speaker bound itself to the cardboard...

I'm hoping someone can testify to the relative value of the features and functions of the Ignitor I, II, and/or III.

I was talking to a friend of mine this afternoon about doing the drop on my 67, and he tried to persuade me that the same benefits could be achieved with lowering springs. As I understand it from looking at sites like DazeCars, using a lowering spring would achieve only one of the effects of the...

Hi, all. Today I got into the car and heard a click and it started to slowly roll backwards with a few more clicks, all the while with the lever in Park. I didn't have the parking brake engaged because I'd cracked the cheap plastic handle, but that is another problem. I put my foot on the...

I have a number of different problems, which may or may not be tied to my alternator, which I bought ca. 1995 and should probably get tested. First, the headlights have started cutting out momentarily (3 to 10 seconds). My guess is that this is a circuit breaker responding to a short or...

When my car was restored a decade ago, proper '67 trunk corners (where the trunk meets the deck lid) were not available -- or, more precisely, the 66 was sold as the piece for the '67-8 as well. One of the principal differences is that the corner for the '66 lacks the dimple for the deck lid...

Earlier this week my 15 year-old Pioneer receiver lost the right channel. Since I already have a bezel hacked up to accommodate a DIN unit and I'd like to have a lot of options for inputs, I'm not going back to a re-engineered Ford radio or CAS unit. I'm looking at the Kenwood KDC line and...

I have seen pictures on the web of the passenger side under dash courtesy light, where the teardrop shape is elongated -- presumably to clear the glove box. Does anyone know a source for these? I can always fab an extension for the 65-66 one that I have, but I thought I'd check here first.

For the second time in six years, my power steering ram broke its mount free. Both times it has been the longer mount for headers. The first time the crush nuts failed and were ripped free of the frame rail. This time the welded seam between the x and y planes tore. I'm wondering what...

After taking off the passenger side fender to get a good look at a cowl leak, I discovered a number of other unpleasant bits of sloppy workmanship. First, it would appear that every body part that was installed in the previous round of work did not have its stickers removed before being...

Today I found a moldy wet spot under the floor mat in the passenger footwell. The odd thing is that the two usual suspects -- heater core and cowl -- are ruled out since the heater is not plumbed in and I ran the garden hose into the cowl for two minutes with no leak into the cabin. Any ideas...

The side mirror on the 67-8 have anchors for the machine screws. I cannot figure out how you set them. There is probably some tool, but I could use some guidance here. Also, would you all use the machine screw and mount or just sheet metal screws for the passenger side mirror?
