Mustang Chat Room / 68 Coupe Project

« Last post by Fx4Ranger on Today at 09:27:47 am »

Just purchased a 68 Coupe as a project and was wondering if anyone might know of its previous owners, the rego used to be 1AGR059 and was owned by Alex Ormerod from Maida Vale.
The reason i,m asking is because I am finding a lot of hidden faults and before I spend a lot of money on the rebuild would appreciate any information about its history. Thanks.

Have a look at these.  Have one on my 302w for some years now.  I'm running a c4 and full length extractors.  I did add a heat shield as well.

Hello, I’m a recent member so pls forgive me if this is a particularly common request. I’m looking for advice on a reputable company to do a LHD to RHD conversion on my 67 coupe. 289 engine. Preferably in Qld.
Thanks

I was going to suggest the use of a Boss 302 carb spacer which has a built in PCV port , then noticed your carb setup. Hydraulic hose shops will sometimes have all kinds of fitttings like the one you just made.

Good idea - I guess I could try two of them, I have a CJ base-plate here which I could compare to the B2 spacer. I'll have a play with the brass fitting first and see how I get on...

Via eBay. One additional note: The standard mounting brackets might not fit perfectly. I personally modified mine to ensure a tighter fit against the radiator support panel.

so, brakes are in and done - I haven't bled them yet because it's entirely likely that the master/booster will have to come out for the engine to go in, so I'll likely be doing that.

The engine bay will get a bit of a clean up before then, and I have new rubber curtains that cover the front suspension about to go in....

The booster needing vacuum fed to it raised an issue I hadn't considered - where to draw the vacuum from the intake to power it...
I had a look at the manifold and the only place to draw vacuum from was a boss that hadn't been drilled yet, so I would have to remove the carbs, rockers, pushrods etc to get the manifold off so I could drill and tap it - wasn't really looking forward to that very much...


So I had a look around and figured that I would be better off removing the PCV setup (again) and drilling and tapping the side of the brass fitting that the PCV fitting screws into:

Others have done something similar and apparently there is enough vacuum as the PCV isn't in operation all the time - so: fingers crossed!!
