Does anyone know where to find the bolt size specifications for a 68 302? Specifically, I am looking for the water pump bolt sizes, timing chain cover bolt sizes, exhaust manifold, and oil pan bolt sizes. I figured out I can save myself about 60 bucks by going down to the local hardware store...

I'm restoring my '67 and the paint has some serious oxidation. I'm using some rubbing compound now and it is turning out great. Below is a pic of just one coat of compound on one side of the trunk. I usually have to do this about every 3 months. Does anyone know if there is a coat of something...

That makes sense. I wish they would have included an extra set with the pads I bought. Thanks for the help.

I'm switching out the pads on my 03 Mach 1 and noticed this spacer type piece that was slid in with the pin which holds the caliper on. I've attached a pic. It's pretty torn up and the new set didn't come with one. Is this piece really necessary? I looked up a few how to videos and didn't see...

I finally got it this morning. Used a string and was able to pull it through the top. I'm missing a few knuckles, but at least it's connected.

When I pulled my trans off last week, the wiring harness connector that sits above the trans (and runs to the side of the trans and rear O2 sensors) came busted off. I re-hooked the connection before installing the trans. It seemed to connect okay. However, the speedometer, odometer, and rear O2...

I don't believe they are shavings, but it was plenty filthy when I pulled the boot. I've only driven the car a few months, but I keep finding surprises the previous owner left me. I know the shifter bolts were tapped or drilled it. It might be from that. I cleaned it up and plan on checking it...

I found a photo of the correct connection online. I have the starter hooked up correctly. There is a clicking noise when trying to start. I'm hoping it is just a bad connection. I can't imagine the starter or solenoid going out at the exact same time I do a clutch install. I did notice some wire...

I pulled my starter during a clutch install and didn't take a picture of which wire goes where. It's a 2003 Mach 1. There are three posts on the back of the starter/solenoid. There are two wires. One a larger gauge, the other smaller.

When removing my trans I found this loose washer hanging around the shifter. Anyone know what this is for? I believe the previous owner had an aftermarket shifter installed at some point. The two bolts shown in the picture are practically welded into their respective holes. So the washer can't...

So I'm still stuck on this last exhaust nut. I've used BP blaster, Kroil, and even some other brand I can't remember. I even tried heating it. I bought an impact wrench and enough extensions/swivels to get the perfect hold on the nut. The impact wench won't even budge it. It's rated at 250lbs of...

PB Blaster is awesome! Most of the bolts came off with a cheater bar pretty quick after one soak. The passenger side exhaust bolts are still being stubborn, but I'll let them soak a bit. Thanks for the help!

It's funny you mentioned that. I was at Wal-mart trying to decide between PB Blaster and Liquid Wrench when I got the reply notification. Thanks! I'm giving it a shot when I get back to it.

The throw out bearing finally went out in my '03 Mach 1. I'm in the process of pulling off the mid-pipe and trans crossbar. I tried the trans crossbar first and the bolts absolutely will not budge. I applied WD-40 and used a cheater bar. The socket extension I was using actually bent. I moved on...

Update: After a little digging online I found out they are water drainage hoses. Ford doesn't even make them anymore for some reason.

You're right. I've been doing a little digging online and it turns out they're for water drainage like you said. Ford doesn't even make them anymore. Thanks for the confirmation.

I posted this in the Mach 1 section a week ago, but no dice so far. I thought I'd try the general section. I've got an '03 MAch 1 with a check engine light that has been on for a while now. I've ran the codes which showed a bad O2 sensor. I relpaced the sensor and the light is still on after...

I've got an '03 MAch 1 with a check engine light that has been on for a while now. I've ran the codes which showed a bad O2 sensor. I relpaced the sensor and the light is still on after resetting. Today I noticed two loose hoses coming out of the side of the intake. Actually, out of the side of...
