    tirerack.com discount code?

    Thanks for trying. I had found some like that. What I'm looking for is an offer they send you after you purchase a set. Last time I bought from them they sent me a promo code, via email, for my next purchase. I can't find it and it is most likely expired by now.

    strut tower brace

    Anyone have one on a 2.3l? I have spoken with Max. Motorsports and Blue Oval Ind. and they are saying the ones they sell fit only the 5.0s. I would like to get one for my wife's 90 convertible. Thanks

    Luggage rack removal and re-install? 90conv

    Brilliant. Thank you, Mr. Obvious. My Ford Shop Manual is on loan to a friend this week, who just bought a Fox for his daughter. I was hoping (and still believe) someone would know this off the top of thier head, having done it before.

    Luggage rack removal and re-install? 90conv

    The spoiler and the rears of the outside rails come off with screws, but what is the deal with the rest? Are they held on with some kind of rivit? I need to remove it so I can re-paint the deck and then re-install this stuff. Any info would be appreciated.

    Shock tower brace recommendations?

    Strut tower brace recommendations? Based on fit and construction, which strut tower brace do you like? I am only running a 2.3 in my 90 convertible, so big torque power is not the issue. I am just trying to reduce the cowl shake inherant with the convertibles. A little better cornering...

    voltage going crazy

    I had the same problem. Was using Halogen bulbs with the stock set-up. I switched back to the stock lights and all is well.

    1968 289s

    here it is... I just got this message from Allen Cross: "Kevin Marti (via Ford's Data Base) says, 31K J-code vs 170K C-code..." Looks like a lot of C-coders out there.

    1968 289s

    The way I understand it is that they built them untill they ran out, and since they were building at 3 different plants, that time varied. I really think they ran almost all, if not all, production year. They used 302 blocks for the 289's when they ran out of the 289 blocks. If the prior...

    A needed increase in hp, any suggestions...

    Yes, I believe it is the original engine or darn close to it based on the casting dates, and story from the PO. The build date of the car is 12/13/67, so it is a little early, however the block casting code is a 302 (C8AE) . It is my understanding that both 289 and 302 blocks were used to make...

    A needed increase in hp, any suggestions...

    ozsum2, will he really see a difference in the intake and 4v swap w/o doing the cam too? I ask because I am in a similar situation as he is. I have a stock un-rebuilt 289 in my 68 and am running duals and stock exhaust manifold also. I prefer not to mess with the internals of this engine...
