1969 Mustang / Door hinge sealer

« Last post by jmlay on April 15, 2024, 11:37:03 PM »

Is there a difference in application of sealer around the door hinges between plants? I found the post below, indicating a small continuous bead of sealer on the front and top of the upper hinge, Dearborn. Is this the same for San Jose? Thoughts on the lower hinge?

1969 Mustang / Re: Heater Hose clamp or bracket

« Last post by J_Speegle on April 15, 2024, 11:07:14 PM »

I have a 1969 with a 302 engine. The car did not come with A/C. There are two heater hoses which need to be properly clamped down/attached. At the moment they are not attached to anything in the engine compartment and basically are sitting on the valve covers. ..............

The two hoses pass through the firewall and attach to the non-AC heater box/heater core at the nipples. No bracket to hold them and clamps only in the interior - not visible from engine compartment on a non AC car




Different year but same design and route



The other ends attach to the nipple on top of the intake (front) and the other to the second water pump nipple at the front of the engine






There is a whole handful of pictures of the engine compartments in the Unrestored 69 Mustang section. In some cases (common after all these years) the hoses and clamps have been replaced but will at least, in those examples, show you where they attach. Any of the non AC small blocks should help

If your going for the original look you'll need tower clamps at both ends. Ford part numbers will do you little good but undated reproductions are available

I've had good luck with charcoal lighter fluid and it doesn't hurt the paint.

Well he is talking about the seal so no paint is involved.

I will get the manual but I am wondering what those holes on the firewall are for?

One could be for the engine block (back of the head) to firewall ground. Also you have larger holes for the rubber plugs holding the firewall pad on.  That is in the electrical manual . https://www.npdlink.com/product/assembly-manual-1969-complete/217284 . It is all covered in the manuals.

There are also "things" you should NOT used or be aware of their shortcomings: any acetone based product like "Goof-Off"; Krud-Kutter (it MUST be wiped off in under a minute to prevent the paint from being destroyed); regular paint thinner, also a "timed" use product.

The hoses are not "attached" but "routed" per the 1969 Mustang Electrical Assembly Manual (AM0028) pg 42. I recommend you get a set of the manuals.
