Hayy Mikeee, get one of these South Carolina home coming queens to sit on the trunk lid for a bit and the weather strip will settle down to the required height in short order!

 

come on guys, that's just NASTY

 Borgeson makes one.http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/home.php?cat=48

The plug that the wiring goes on, faces the kick panel, and the screw holes are vertical, there is a plastic holder that goes underneath. Don't know about Booster fit, that would be Steve's area.

the 390 was a generic engine used in a lot of ford products, the S code was for 4V or 335 HP
Most if not all factory installed engines got a partial vin stamped in the back of the head or block below head on drivers side.  The date codes would be from nov. dec.of 68 and jan. of 69.
you can find the date code on your block, above the oil filter.  year month day

What exact booster did you use?  The Granada booster is not at all a good fit for a 67.  The shaft is too long for one thing.  There are plenty of factory power brake setups available for the 67.  The Bendix booster I offer has the correct fit for the car.  Your power brake pedal should measure 5.0" center to center between the pivot tube and the actuation pin.

Let us know exactly what you tried to put together.  There just might be a simpler way.  Sometimes trying to save a few bucks just causes exponential problems with band-aid solutions.

Steve, everything came out of a Granada, I replaced the 67 non power brake pedal with a 69 pedal that measures 5 in. center to center like you said. What do you think I should try? PS all of the parts were factory rebuilt and  new rotors



 

All good advice, I will pass it on to my friend and his mechanic because he wants to do what's right.

Just a follow up, which some of you might want to hear, this is the conversation my friend had with the Ford Motorsport guy,               " quote'   I spoke to Roland yesterday.  He said the transmission in my car is a T5Z.  He also said he didn’t think I had enough mileage on the car and shifting should get better with time.  The next step is a TKO, which he did not recommend unless I damage this transmission, which he thinks I won’t do.
Thanks to all that responded.

Auto trans or manual?

That is very good information, I guess he needs to go to his ford motorsport guy and find out what he bought.
He did buy it new last summer so it may take some break-in. Thanks

My friend bought a 302 crate engine and a 5 sp. from a ford motorsport dealer and had it installed in his 83 Lx conv.
The trans. shifts smooth normally, but trying to power shift (or speed shift) it just won't go into gear and a lot of grinding happens. He is willing to buy another trans. if that is what it takes. Is this typical of this trans. or is there an underlying problem?  With my 4sp toploader you could speed shift with just a tap of the clutch a hardly notice the RPM change, This is what he is looking for in a transmission. what do you think?

cut a piece of heater hose (or any hose that will fit) and use that to push and turn left, that way if bulb breaks you won't cut your fingers.
Guess I was too late
