Not sure what "type" it is, but it is on a 390 engine. I have attached (hopefully) images of the clutch fork (looking at the forward side of it), and of the parts that were sent to me. If that helps at all. Sounds like I should have a couple more nuts (resisting temptation to insert something...

For my 1969 Mach 1, 390, I'm ready to install the clutch fork release /push rod. I have the rod, rounded-end adapter, rubber bushing, nuts. But I can't find info on the assembly order, how it installs into the clutch fork. The tiny illustrations in the Ford shop manual and a couple other books I...

I'm ready to reassemble...is there supposed to be a seal between the bell housing and transmission? Car: 69 Mach 1, 390 engine with 4 speed manual trans. Thanks.

I'm replacing the front coil spring seats. The MCA judges manual states they should be "natural". But when I received the new ones from Scott Drake they were painted black. Which is the proper finish? BTW, I already sand blasted them and will either repaint them black with POR15, or treat with...

I posted this on another website (yes I am a bi-forum stanger :o ), but got no help yet. So I'm looking here.... I have been working on the undercarriage of my '69 Mach 1, and am ready to start sealing, priming, painting, etc. In reviewing the MCA Judging rule book I'm going for the...

I decided to put my '69 Mach 1 up on a rotisserie for restoration. Don't want to build one (though there is good info on doing so). And don't want to buy a new one. So, does anyone know where I can rent one , or borrow one, or buy a used one...in central Utah. Any help and referals would be...

Thanks for the response. Hm, now I'm wondering...do I need to lower the front or raise the rear??? Are there some standards or guidelines for ride height?

Then rather than buying new front springs, how about cutting them down? I've read about this being done.

So, the issue would likely be due to the springs, not the shocks/struts?

What's going on with my new suspension, cut springs? I just had new suspension put on my 88 GT (see list below) a couple months ago; it's my daily driver. Now the back end sits a full inch lower than the front! The shop that did my work, work that has always proved reliable in the past, said...

Doing the resto job on my 69 Mach 1. After the steering column comes through the firewall ("A" in the photo) it looks like there is supposed to be a boot or something there on the lower part. If not, what color are those collars and the extending steering column supposed to be painted...

Ok, we got the part identified. Now, I just need to know what color or finish it's supposed to be...black, natural...? Thanks all.

What's this bar called? I know it's not the sway bar. It's under my '69 Mach 1. Thanks all.

As recommended to me in another post, I’m listing some specific parts that I would like color/finish help with: The pitman arm. The bracket/spindle that holds the pitman arm to the car body. Power steering control valve, and connecting/extension rod. Power steering gear box. Tie rod ends...

Need help with parts refinish/paint. I'm restoring the front end on my '69 Mach I, (still!). For the suspension parts, the MCA judging book (and Helms detailing guide) state: 'The following suspension parts are to be natural:'. So, I used POR-15 Metal Mask, 'bare metal finish' (silverish...

That seems logical. I just can't find any diagrams or pictures to confirm. Do you think they would be painted black like the radiator?

Front end restoration on my 69 Mach 1: This is a photo of one of the few parts off my car that didn't get tagged. Now, of course I can't remember what it is nor can I find it in my books. It's a pair, off the front end of the car, and the black rubber pads (one not pictured) in front go into...

I guess my thoughts are that I want the fasteners to look original but I fear that if I use original type stuff they will just rust or corrode quickly. (Though I only take the car out of the garage when the weather is dry, it will still get wet from washing.) I also thought about using some...

Hi, Thanks for the response. Are you saying to polish the stainless ones? I assumed they would already be bright. Brian

For my restoration project i'm not trying to make the car perfect concours, but would like to make it 'show' well and as much like original as possible. I plan to buy nut & bolt restoration kits from AMK and like the idea of stainless steel for longevity. Can anyone tell me if this would be a...
