    I remember someone saying to me that if you cut a piece off of the 69 Roadrunner headlight bezels they will then fit on a 69 GTX. Does anyone know the process to do this or which area to cut?

    Has anyone else encountered a problem with the JEGS big block windage tray that has the reuseable gaskets on it leaking at the rear of the engine?

    Does anyone reproduce the factory style plastic pins or "nails" that hold the insulation to the firewall? One of the ones in my car had the tip break off when I was wiping down the firewall. I know the aftermarket ones had been incorrect but has anyone stepped forward to repro the correct ones?

    blew the water pump, now over heating big time!

    On the way to a show today with Dad's 69 GTX vert with the 440, he called me up and said that he was overheating and pulled off to the side of the road. I met up with him and saw coolant flowing like a faucet was turned on from the lower part of the pump. We had the car towed back home and...

    tach wire wrapped with engine harness or taped occasionally to eng. harness?

    Well, I made the fatal mistake of not taking a pic of the engine harness prior to unraveling the old tape. Would the tach wire have been wrapped with the engine harness or would it have been an "add on" taped every so often to the engine harness since it was an optional item and not every car...

    timing mark off on harmonic balancer?

    Getting ready to reinstall the harmonic balancer and I noticed that the timing mark is not lined up with the key way section on the hub. Are these supposed to be lined up? If so, I'm guessing that would mean that the outer ring spun. The rubber piece that is sandwiched between the hub and the...

    hood latch and release/striker plating color?

    Continuing on with our 69 GTX vert project, I have the hood release and striker as well as the latch removed from the car. Someone had painted the parts with a clear zinc color paint but where the paint did not get appears to be a brownish blackish color. What was the original color of the...

    69 GTX pinstripe question.....

    Was the pin stripe on the blacked out area on 1969 GTX's a reflective stripe? I've heard that the white was while the red was not. Our car has the red stripe on it and from talking to the third owner, that stripe was never removed and does not appear to have ever been messed with. The red...
