on my son's '66

tower clamps are on the core end of the heater hoses

and 'wire' clamps are used on the gas filler tube

i don't know what was used on the engine end of the heater hoses

i would never do this to my K code

but am not opposed to doing it to my son's C code coupe

....but we haven't entirely decided yet

we did put hipo exhaust manifolds on it

and are still thinking about using the regular

clutch linkage and set up.....

iowa_old · Hydraulic Clutch iowa_old January 29, 2011 at 10:51 AM

like i said

we will set it up both ways

if one uses the regular clutch linkage

one has to drill two holes in the T5 Bell H

and....if one wants to use the hydraulic clutch

one needs two holes in a different location in the T5 Bell H

i had Bruce at MDL drill all 4 of these holes

so we will have these two options

will let you know how it works out

and with method we final decide to go with

i plan to install the regular clutch setup in my K kar

don't worry about that!

this is just for my son's T5 setup

i just wondered if anyone here HAD used it on their K kar?

it doesn't seem so as i didn't get one hit as mentioned above!!

iowa_old · Hydraulic Clutch iowa_old January 28, 2011 at 7:30 AM

i did an advanced search and got zero hits!!

so will start a new thread here to address this issue.

1st, has anyone used this setup on their K car (cringe)?

other than Modern Drive Line n Bruce

i haven't found any detailed instructions or videos

on how to install such a devise on a 65 or 66 mustang

bruce's instruction sheet is fairly difficult to decepher

we will be putting one on my son's '66 coupe C code

so i'll keep you updated

thanks

iowa_old · Exhaust Manifolds On or Off? iowa_old January 26, 2011 at 6:52 PM

the smell of the paint must have been strong

but our girls didn't seem to mind

notice the one guy painting

while looking at the girls!!

into the bay!!!

iowa_old · Wire Loom Decals iowa_old January 25, 2011 at 7:40 AM

we have come across quite a lot of these NOS decals

when wiring my son's car

it had the big round rubber sleeves on them

we took these off and re-wrapped with electrical tape

unfortunately, we covered up a few

before coming across this thread

from now on

and especially on my K kar

i'll leave these visable

even tho they are usually very fragile!

thanks for post

does anyone have a picture that show

how the wiring was attached above the radiator?

i know that there are two hole there

for the plastic loom clips

but do the wires go below the horn bolts

or on top of them etc.

what is the orientation of the clip?

all the diagrams are in the electrical assembly book

except this one!

i know you guys love picky Q's like these?

when patrick and i pulled the engine out of his '66 coupe

we had a heck of a time with his 'headers'

we ended up putting a 'dimple' in the distal steering tube!!

the medial arched part of the shock towers were 'cut out'

apparently to accomadate the headers.

we welded these back in with donor material off a junk '66

Q

since we put hipo exhaust on his C code car

will we need to use the hipo clutch bar?

the interior is pretty nice

the trunk and engine bay will look great

just the exterior will someday need a paint job

patrick likes the 'character' of it right now

iowa_old · Iowa's 5F09K project iowa_old January 21, 2011 at 10:54 AM

Duplicolor Engine Enamel

so will see how long this holds up

iowa_old · inner rear quarters iowa_old January 13, 2011 at 10:43 PM

where the latch is?

thanks

iowa_old · trunk undercoating iowa_old January 13, 2011 at 12:39 PM

is this true?

iowa

iowa_old · inner rear quarters iowa_old January 13, 2011 at 7:58 AM

have tried to find pictures of this area.

if fact, have tried to find pictures of

the whole trunk area in general,

and am having a hard time finding much.

were the inner Q P's painted the exterior color?

or were they coated with the black undercoating?

also would like a picture of the forward trunk area.

here is a photo i swiped off VMF

hope this is okay with the poster.

it shows coating oversprayed with paint

also was the cardboard piece between

the trunk and rear seat painted?

thanks
