Among the things I really hate: after recovering the passenger bucket seat on my '68 Mustang, I installed it in the car (looks great) before realizing that I forgot to install the new black plastic handle on the end of the under seat adjustment lever (that lever that moves left/right to release...

Arrrrrggghhh. I installed a Grant classic wood steering wheel and the cast Mustang horn "button" in my '68 Mustang. The steering wheel installation worked out fine, but the Mustang horn button is simply crazy. Essentially, the separate instructions that come with the cast horn button say...

I was finally making progress putting the interior into my '68 Coupe restoration, but am now stuck. I can't button up the doors until I sort out the interior workings, and I could use some advice. I bought new regulators when the body came out of paint ten years ago, and asked a glass shop to...

When I installed the TMC handling kit (20+ years ago) on my '68, I seem to recall reading about the option to cut the front coil springs to adjust the car's stance. While the car handles nicely, I've never liked the stance much, the front end a 1/2" higher than the rear (makes it look a bit...

The simple chore of lubricating the upper control arm in my '68 got a lot harder when I snapped off the forward 90degree zerk fitting during the disconnect. Damn. It looks like my control arms (replacement) are not quite centered in my shock towers (original), making the rear zerk fitting...

Strange. After replacing the flywheel ringgear and starter, and subsequently reinstalling the clutch, tranny and drive shaft, the starting problem is fixed, but now I have an annoying "chirping" noise coming from the bellhousing. At first startup it was constant, but after readjusting the...

Twenty years ago, I turned in by tired old 289 as core to the engine rebuilder, who told me he only had a 302 to give me. No worries, I said. Last month, researching my starter problem, I ran all the casting numbers of the various parts that now make my '68 Mustang run. Nothing is original...

Does anyone have another method for removing a pilot bushing? I read in the manual to pack the crankshaft cavity and pilot bushing hole with grease then drive a rod (matching the i.d. of the bushing) into the grease to force the bushing out hydraulically. In case that fails, is there...

The partsman tells me that a '68 302 with a toploader could have either 157 or 164 tooth flywheels. The engine has been in the car for years (302) but the toploader (used) came with bellhousing and 157 tooth flywheel. Once assembled, for the past year it has started normally every few times...

Apologies if this is redundant, but I read through 20 pages of posts and couldn't find anything related. I replaced the C-4 in my 1968 (302) Mustang with a Toploader. The flywheel that came with the new tranny, bellhousing, etc had a wornout ringgear. I purchased a 157-tooth gear and...
