Parts / Re: What is the difference between 69 and 70 R code air cleaners?

Completely unrelated to your question, but since my car was built a week after yours at Metuchen, here's a Pic or two ... I think Metuchen regular production started the first week of September so your car is probably one of the first.....

Parts / Re: What is the difference between 69 and 70 R code air cleaners?

Hi Dave,
Your 70 doesn't use the small vacuum vent in the base that's mentioned above, that's a mid/late 69 CJ thing. (it delays the opening of the automatic choke on a 69, your 70 uses a manual choke cable)
The 70 base uses a plastic elbow and rubber grommet for the crankcase vent hose instead of the metal tube that the 69's use. The biggest difference (and what makes a 70 base such a pain to locate) is that there's an extra recess stamped for additional clearance around the throttle cable/carb linkage. I attached a pic from the 428 site to show this. (I circled the area in red) I have an early 70 (9/11/69) Metuchen Survivor/barn find/turd that's surprisingly original and it has this 70-style air cleaner base so I'd bet yours is supposed to have the 70 style also. The air cleaner is part of the approved emission system so I'd be surprised if Ford would use 69 model year parts on a 70 ... Hope this helps, John

1970 Mustang / 1970 convertible front bow weatherstrip. glue or no glue

« Last post by rare70cat on April 13, 2024, 09:03:39 PM »

On the front bow weatherstrip, should the weatherstrip use weatherstrip adhesive to bond to the bow and then the weatherstrip retainer screwed on or No glue/ weatherstrip adhesive, just the retainer? Weatherstrip adhesive makes sense but may not be correct. Thank you

I found detailed information on 9 inch axle pinion snubbers done by Anghel Restorations.

Yes nice work and thanks for the insight. Hard to believe that almost ten years has passed since it was posted. BTW the article is also posted in the Library section of this site with Marcus' permission

1964 1/2 - 1965 / Re: 1694.5 Flasher location

« Last post by jwc66k on April 13, 2024, 02:37:27 PM »

An assembly line flasher "should be" in a bracket attached to the left vent, or very close to it. If you have a copy pf the 1964 Mustang Electrical Manual (AM0003), pg 15, it's shown as item 4.
If you are a "large" driver (I'm 6 ft), consider removing the driver's seat and placing a packing blanket on the floor. It goes easier on the back that way.

1964 1/2 - 1965 / 1694.5 Flasher location

« Last post by Corey Bowcutt on April 13, 2024, 11:57:16 AM »

I have a 1964.5 Convertible project I am working on.  I have gotten everything to work except the turn signals.  I have checked all fuses and they are good.  My next step was to check the flasher but I cannot for the life of me find it.  Any suggestions on where to look?  I have looked at the electrical assembly manual and electrical diagrams and that has been no help.

Thank you,

Corey

Lots of them - it might help if we knew what diameter, the end design, and perhaps the application. Far too many options otherwise.


Here's a guide:
