    Power steering interchange parts

    I need to find a p/s cylinder and valve and all of the linkage for a 65 coupe. Are there any other cars that I might be able to find at a junk yard that would have interchangable parts? Maybe a falcon or fairlane or something?

    Cleaning the Headliner

    Anybody have any good ideas for cleaning a white headliner? It is not real dirty, but does have a few noticeable dirty spots. I have tried regular dish soap without much success. Since it is 40 years old, I really don't want to use anything too harsh, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    65 Windshield Washer bag

    This may be a stupid question, but did all 65 mustangs come with a windshield washer bag? Mine does not have one, and when I went to put one in, I noticed that the screw holes were not even there. Was this only available with certain packages? Thanks for your thoughts.
