69 gtx

Just barley, I'll have to get some custom lines with the service ports pointed other than up to work, but doable.
 
By the way for any of you buying a six pac coil bracket, Mega parts 35.00 + 7$ s&h Year one 69.95 + 15 s&h.
 
So I was feeling a little under the weather but decided I still needed to do something on the car. I had used paint stripper to remove the clear and multiple layers of black, red & blue overspray from the 1/4 emblems.

I used paint sticks to bolt them to for easier handling during paint.

Then put a new blade in the exact-o knife and went to work.

I used semi gloss black so I can tell when the coats are dry enough for the next coat. 2 coats of black. I did both sides so that there wouldn't be a edge for the weather to get under.

I peeled off the tape before it got to dry. You can use the knife to touch up some of the paint if needed if the paint is still soft. I hit them next with 2 coats of semigloss clear, again both sides. Then I let them sit for about 10 min then loosened the nuts and stuck a piece of wire between the emblem and paint stick so it would dry to the stick. I should of used a couple washers when I bolted them on, but they turned out ok. Ready t bolt on now once they've dried for a couple days.

Some do not even know how much time was invested in doing that one emblem! Looks brand new, great work!
 
I have 3 or 4 of the solid state ones from a seller on ebay. Switched over my 62 and running the same setup on my 69.

By the way, where does that anode screw in? Great idea as I have an aluminum radiator and water pump.
Where the drain cockpit goes.
 
Makes me look like a hobo. I hosed mine down with semi gloss and sanded the overspray off the GTX face lol.
 
No judgement 3. The end goal is all the same, cruising with a big smile!

So I used a rubber grommet behind the studs to help seal the studs to the 1/4 panel. I tightened it snug and it almost made contact. I'll wait a couple days and hit it again.

Helpful hint here. Put your foot feet in before you install your engine!

I removed the tranny fluid pan to put in the fitting for the temp gauge. I saw a little bit of rubber debris from putting in the dip stick in the corner. So cleaned it up. Tapped a 1/2-14 NTP hole. The pan is cast aluminium so make sure you use lots of lube. Soft material has a tendacy to gum up in taps.

Make sure your sending unit clears everything inside the pan.
