How to attach I'm not clear on how the Economy gauge and the deco magnetic gauge attach to the wheel - do the magnetically stick to the bearing dust cap? Or some machined surface on the hub? Do you pull your center caps off to do the alignment? The instructions linked in the ordering page...

All '65-'68's so far Scanning through the replies, it looks like all '65-'68 owners having this issue, I just wonder if the taller tank on the '69's and '70's makes this less of an issue. Like I said in my original post, I've owned other 60's and 70's cars that didn't present a problem...

I've seen plenty of threads about how difficult it is to fill the '67-'68 tanks at full flow without the auto shut off tripping. Is this true of all years, or is the '67-'68 filler neck that much worse for this behavior? Maybe the '69 and '70's with their taller tanks (and I assume shorter...

JonK - MACs & PS bracket Jon, You mention the MAC's don't require a PS drop bracket - I'm wondering where you got that info. I've been looking for a set to use w/o a drop bracket and if the MAC's really clear, I'll probably get a set. What part number are you running? Thanks, Andrew

Tank Height Does anyone have dimensions of the 20 gal and 22 gal tank? I'm looking for how high they stand above the flange. The top of the '68 tank is basically flush with the flange, and is the lowest point of the trunk floor. I'm guessing the 20 gal tank is a couple of inches taller, and...

What RPM? I've been chasing a vibration around 1700-2500 rpm ever since my T5 swap last summer with an Advance Auto 'Perfection' brand clutch. What rpm was your vibration? What brand was the clutch? Thanks, Andrew

I've got a repro hood and trunklid for my '68. Typical satin black coating on them now - what is the appropriate way to prep these for paint? Just wax & grease remover, scuff with ?? grit sandpaper, prime, base, clear? Thanks, Andrew

Match balancing flywheel and flexplate I've been having a similar problem with my '68 302 ever since I swapped a T5 in place of the C4. Seems to peak around 1500 rpm and clears up by 2000 rpm. I've messed with the ignition (new wires, plugs, advance changes) with no real effect. If I...

photos please send photos of the arms to me at ucbearcatgrad at hot mail dot com. Include any included hardware please (drop template, bolts, spacers, etc.) Thanks, Andrew

I'm interested in the control arms and springs. Where are you located? How much for shipping to 41091? Thanks, Andrew

Is anyone running flowtech long tubes (summit BIG - 32102FLT) with a T5 in a '68 with a 302. I'm curious if there is any interference with the bell or clutch fork. I've got a hydraulic clutch, so no cable issues. I called Flowtech (holley) and they said this combo hadn't been tested...

I recently picked up a T5 out of an '86 GT. Cheap. Tearing into it, I've learned 3rd gear is shot. Missing lots of teeth shot. The other thing I've noticed is that the splines on the input don't look perfectly straight. Like the shaft is slightly twisted. It may be my imagination. has...

I'm looking to upgrade wheels, and I've seen the Cobra R wheels from FRPP referred to as forged, while most of the Bullitts and Mach 1 wheels are cast. Is there a significant performance advantage to the Cobra R wheels? I assume the forged material would allow them to have similar strength...

I'm looking to upgrade the wheels on my '68 fastback, and I'm leaning toward the current generation Bullitt style wheels. I know tons of people are running the old style (2001-2004), but haven't heard much about people running the later models. I know I will need a thicker spacer than with...

awesome Thanks Ron, I knew I had seen that info somewhere before. I'm bookmarking it now! Andrew

Does anyone know of a site that lists the weight of different style of wheels. For example, 17X8 Bullitts vs. Cobra R's vs. misc aftermarket wheels? Thanks, Andrew

Jeremy, The clutch is just a stock replacement, so it's definitely not a billion dollar unit. I didn't realize you were the author of that adjustable clutch quadrant guide. I found my way to that page once before, and it is very informative. I guess I just wasn't sure how much...

Adjustment Well, the noise definitely went away with slight pedal pressure, so I cranked in some more preload, and that quieted things down nicely. The fork still visibly wobbles and I'm still a little bothered by that. Apparently the fingers on my pressure plate are not perfectly even...

I've got an '88 T5 and bell in my '68 Mustang. I'm having a helluva time with a noise from the clutch area, I think it may be related to cable adjustment. Whole setup (pilot brg, flywheel, clutch, clutch fork, pivot ball, pressure plate and throwout bearing are brand new. Trans and bell are...

Throwout Bearing? Could be the throwout bearing / clutch adjustment. I the clutch is adjusted just so, the throwout bearing face could barely be making contact with the pressure plate fingers and make a chirping or squealing noise. Does the noise change / go away as you press on the clutch...
