Inland Truck Parts is another place that does excellent work. 

First off, is this real Granite; Gravestone quality? I ask because it will absorb any oil if it isn't sealed. And it will need resealed

The message is time to buy that 1,000 gallon tank I've talked about for years and fill it with Diesel for $2/gallon or less.  Might be time for a gasoline one.  I don't use near as much of it, BUT if I let it sit long enough the damn ethanol will settle to the bottom and I can draw pure gas off the top. 
 

Well, living in the 'home of ethanol' E-10 is actually 84 octane, the ethanol boosts octane to 87. And the ethanol that settles to the bottom will be loaded with water, which will rust your storage tank. 

If you have original style carpet, a pair of Velcro® strips on the underside grip real good.

Do you have a spring in the lower radiator hose? What you describe is the same problem a friend had with his Ford. You see, when the engine slows down, the radiator pressure 'puffs' the hose back to normal size and flow isn't restricted. Try to squeeze the lower hose when it's cooled down-if it squeezes much at all, it's that spring, which is made of thin steel wire.

3:73 gears are way too low for a C4 transmission.

Didn't the C4 transmission have 3:00 gears as original equipment? 
 

Ya' know, I discovered a 'pattern'. EVERYTHING I've added to my '68 Mustang has eventually become a problem. From the electronic ignition (Thermo king) that failed on highway 666 in New Mexico (during my honeymoon) to the 'reverberator' back in the 70's that caught fire, it seems to me that Ford actually had the options under control.  Yeah, if an automobile has a 'soul', the Mustang is it. You doubt? I KNOW if I go out to the shed and start winding on the starter, she WILL start and be ready to 'Play'.

It should be a flared fitting with no gasket. a little power steering fluid on the threads will help to get a good seal.

On my 68 with factory air, the ported vacuum runs to a 'thermal vacuum switch' , then to the distributor. This is so the engine, if left idling, begins to overheat, it switches the ported vacuum to full vacuum which boosts engine speed and increases cooling from the engine's fan. Now, I don't know if the 69 had this feature, but 'thermal vacuum switch' will get you some pictures of it.

I'm using the same coil that I replaced back in the 70's, before Pertronix was even availabe.I started out wiring with the 'pink' wire in the circuit, but I soon went with a direct 12 volt from the ignition switch. Seems like the 'pink' wire didn't fire consistently at higher RPM's. I still have the 'old' coil and have not have any dificulty. Way back in the 70's, I had a 'Thermotronic' pick up, which failed a thousand miles from home. Only because I still had the points and condenser in the trunk of my '68 was I able to continue on.  My lovely new wife, (our honeymoon) thought I was something of a genious being able to get her (68 Mustang) back on the road. I still have that Mustang AND my Wife.I wouldn't get rid of eiither.

We're verry saddened for your loss. Our pets are akin to another 'child', one that never grows up and leaves us, as children are supposed to do. I haven't seen anything about a cat. Our 'Callie' jumped into the back seat of my '68 Mustang in Osceola, Iowa while I was building a house back in ca. 1978. I figured she'd jump out when we started home, pulling an old Ford pickup box trailer. To my and my buddy's surprise, she stayed right there on the seat and rode the 60 miles to home. My wife and I adopted her (do you really adopt a cat?) and she was with us for 16 years. It ruined me for cat attitude, as she would come when you called her name and went with us on several vacation trips, even allowing herself to be on a leash with no fighting. Riding on the dashboard watching the scenery spoiled me as to what most people considered a cat to be. She was very low maintenance, but when she began to have kidney problems, the Vet told us the 'end was near'. She's been gone about 15 years now and I still tear up at her memory. Both my daughters remember her fondly, as do we. Windsor was your pal as Calllie was mine. The sorrow will pass but the memory will always remain.
 

As wsinsle said, find that pressure switch. If you have power to one side AND it cools nicely when jumpered, that switch is likely bad.
