Hey guys my dads 68 California special radiator sprung a leak up top. He took it to a radiator shop that originally was going to fix it but turns out when they got to looking at it it’s pretty much toast. My dad is now looking for a replacement radiator and was looking at maybe doing a 24” vs the standard 20” that was in it.

Does anyone know if this will just bolt in in place of the old one where the side covers were on the old one?  Or will we need to make a custom bracket to hold it in?  Also anyone know of a decent one to get for not an outrageous amount of money?  Seems like they are all over the place on material and cost.

Hey everyone hoping someone can help us out with a problem we’re having on a 68 mustang with a 289. It looks like the coolant is leaking when we fill it up from the front passenger side corner on the intake and back driverside corner. It looks like it’s coming from 2 bolts that go through the intake then are open then goes into the heads . Do we need to put thread sealant on these bolts or does it sound like we should pull and re seal the intake?  Any help is appreciated.

Ok I think I got it squared away. I was able to extend my steering shaft to where the rag joint is right up against the steering box like you showed. I then pulled it back and got a file and dremel and put a little bit of a flat spot on the shaft and set the set screw with lock tight and the lock nut. I then pulled out the stud that was missing the washer and bolt and was able to find one in my extra bolts and nuts I have.  I put the new washer on and put lock tight on the nut and tightend it up as much as I could.  It got to a point where it would just turn. I put a pair of needle nose plyers on the stud to try and hold it but it didn’t work that well.

I checked the steering wheel and it doesn’t budge now up or down. It’s allot more solid than it was.
Also my horn works like it should now too so I’ll take that.

Awesome thank you!

Hey everyone I have a 66 mustang with 302 v8 and mustang at Steve cable clutch conversion and borgeson set up with a collapsible column from a 69 mustang. I currently have a borgeson rag joint installed and when I went to take the car out recently I noticed my steering wheel was moving up and down when I went to adjust my seat. I pulled back into the garage and looked under the hood and it looks like the rag joint lost a bolt and nut. So instead of re doing it. I’ve just picked up a u joint from borgeson.

Has anyone went from a rag joint to u joint with a borgeson. I assume it’s the same install as a rag joint but it will just be the u joint. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys!  The upholstery is from procar by scat. It Matches the front seats I have from them

Congratulations!  Thank you for all you have done And all that you continue to do with the forum and helping with questions.  I have your cable clutch set up and love it every time I hop in my mustang.

Alright, I just picked up some foam, cotton batting and burlap. Which me luck. I’ll post my results soon.

Yeah the more I thought about it. I’m going to replace it. I have been looking around and can’t find any foam for it though. Plenty of stuff for fastbacks but nothing I have Seen for foam on the 66 coupe.  The only thing I just found is a kit from npd that’s says it’s a padding kit. Does anyone know if that’s all I need or is it actually foam that I’ll need?

Hey everyone I was browsing through new guage set ups and stumbled on intellitronix 6 guage digital set up. I wanted to see if anyone has seen them before or used them.  Looks kinda neat.  Wondering if it can go with a 6 guage bezel.

Ok, so I’m working my way through my mustang and I’ve known for a while I’m going to need to tackle the wiring on my 66 mustang coupe as the wiring is brittle and when you strip any portion of
It it’s corroded with green mixed in with the copper. I haven’t really had any issues with it.. knock on wood.  I have it driving and running nice but I think I should really start looking at doing the wiring soon before I start seeing problems. I’m debating going with American auto wire or painless. Has anyone had any experience with these. Any input is appreciated.  Im going to be looking at adding some modern features like led headlights and electric fan maybe power windows and door locks.  Do these kits have the required circuits for that type of stuff?

Alright everyone. I wanted to give an update. I was finally able to get around to this project. Here is the end result. I ended up spraying it with duplicator bed liner paint from the local auto store. I then installed camper foam tape all around it and screwed it in with the self tapping screws it came with. I haven’t had a chance to take it for a spin yet but here’s how it looks.

Ok got the old valance off and cleaned up the area below it.  Today I started fitting it. It definitely didn’t fit right. I looked up Mustang Steve’s guide on how to fit the rear valance and took it back to the vice about 4-5 times to bend it slightly to get things matched up. I got it pretty darn close. See pics.   I don’t think i can get it any closer with bending it. It’s not to far off. My question is do you think to get the fit that I need would it be ok to oval the mounting holes in the valance a little where the Phillips head screws go. As it’s a minimal amount it will need to slide over. To mount it. Or should I just drill new holes in the car to mount it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
