Excellent. Thanks for the info and the website. I do definetly want to do a Disk/Power Brake conversion.

So from what I am hearing, is that the 68's In-line6 and V8's have the same suspension and steering except for the SPRINGS?

The steering and suspension seems to be ok (just needs to be redone with new bushings and rubbers), but I think it would be cheaper to buy the rubbers/bushings ETC, then to buy the suspension and steering Kits.
I know I want to replace the Shock absorbers, so when I do that i'll replace the Spring Coils too.

Thanks guys!

I can repaint the black, but the chrome needs to be "daily driver" good.

Profeth if that is a Ford 6G alternator, from what I can find with a little research is there should be a 3 prong connector near the large battery wire, just like a3G. Is there a 3 prong connector? If so you will need the 3 prong plug, sold separately, or found at the local pick and pull. Probably the same connections as a 3G but I wouldn't want to sat till I know for sure, maybe someone else does.

No is just a Positive tab and a side Negative tab for ground connections. I think i know what your talking about the 3 prong connector. but that is if I want to re-connect a volt meter or a am meter. I just wanted to connect the Positive and negative. What I am wondering, is what i'm going to do with the Stock Pig tail connections...... I am assuming that I should just leave that alone  and I am also assuming that the Headlight, Radio, dome-light ETC, get their source of power from the INFUSE BOX? ...

hello everyone,

I got a 1-wire Alternator on my 68 mustang. I undertand the how connections are (+ -) , on the alternator but I am confused on the altenator feed ( I colored it Green  and Blue), how to connect it and if I am supposed to use the Alternator regulator ... (this 1-wire altenator is has a internal regulator)

Has anyone done this job before?
My other question is, where does the Radio, Headlights, brake lights ETC, get their power source from? (i know is battery is where it starts)  I have a 64.5-73 diagram but is for a stock alternator.

any information will help
Thanks

Steve,
Do you know, if I have to have a different pedal support bracket for a manual transmission? I had an automatic transmission and converting to manual. I'm wondering, if I have to have a different pedal bracket.
Thanks

Nice to meet you Steve!

I took some pics of what I think your talking about. but i couldn't b/c i have to do 2 posting.

anyways, A lot of information you send me. A lot of thinking to do.

Yes, i agree with the stock booster break and break pedal. OEMS right?

still thinking about the 5 speed swap. The mustang originally had an automatic tranny so going manual is a bit of a headache!

I'll see if i can post some pics. Will give it a crack this weekend!

hey everyone...
I have a 68 Mustang. It was once a 6 cylinder. I got a good deal for a v8 and with a 3 speed.
The engine and the 3-speed is already on the car.

*I was wondering, can I do the Mustang Steve cable pedal for this type of set-up?

*Also, the original tranny was Automatic so the brake pedal will need to be cut to make the clutch pedal fit.

*For a 68 6 cyl, do I have to remove the steering column to remove the pedal support assembly?

*Would I need to replace the brake pedal if i want to add a booster? originally it has a manual brakes..

any information helps.
Thanks

cheers from San Jose California
