1968 Mustang / Re: steering column shims for non-tilt

« Last post by jwc66k on May 16, 2024, 04:25:48 PM »

First, welcome to the forum.
The shim you seek does not seem to be in the "1968 Mustang Chassis Assembly Manual". The service manual, "Ford Car Parts" (aka MPC) is available thru a link to a T-Bird website (we could have our own copies, but - ) where you might find more information in the illustration section.

1968 Mustang / Re: 381863-S2 clip nut

« Last post by jwc66k on May 16, 2024, 04:20:45 PM »

First: Congratulations on using a Ford hardware part number in your post. It seem that many Forum member are afraid to do that.
Now for the good news. The clip nut you need is the one on the right in your picture. It is available from AMK as Ford hardware part number 381863-S32 (note finish, -S32, black or olive drab enamel), AMK stock number B-12248 (6ea for $4).
This is documented in this Forums' library under "Mustang Hardware Spreadsheet 67-68".

1968 Mustang / 381863-S2 clip nut

« Last post by dkknab on May 16, 2024, 03:09:14 PM »

Trying to determine the proper nut for the 3 supports in front of the radiator that hold up the grill and are used to attach the bottom of the grill.  The nut in my picture on the left was on the RH and LH outer supports.  The nut on the right was in the center support.  I'm guessing the right one is incorrect.

PS it appears to be the same as 45144-S2 and is used on the trim molding piece above the bumper.  I found that one on AMK site.

I have a good used cover which I removed from a RUG - AW trans and replaced with a new cover. No part number but only LM on the top surface.

1968 Mustang / steering column shims for non-tilt

« Last post by Mark F on May 16, 2024, 01:37:24 PM »

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has tried using shims on a non-tilt steering column to lift the steering wheel. It is mentioned in the "Introduction to the 1968 Ford Product Line" shop manual on page 27 - Mustang Steering Wheel Height Adjustment. Would like to know what amount of height increase you might get, before I go ahead and source the shims and install them. Looks like they are the same shims used for caster/camber adjustment on early mustangs, and possibly for fender shims as well. Thanks for any insights.

1966 Mustang / Re: C4ZE Y1 4 Speed Radiator Questions

Thank you for the information.

Did the 65 66 radiators all have the radiator opening off to the side or were some in the center?

Guess your asking about a V8 radiator based on your first post. To see examples of where the radiator intake and discharge locations I suggest that you just look at the dozen or so examples in the unrestored picture section of the site.

1966 Mustang / Re: Strange Build Date 10 V

« Last post by J_Speegle on May 15, 2024, 07:53:47 PM »

Thank you for the confirmation. 

In that case a very late build. I believe the last day of Mustang production at Dearborn was 8/12/1966.

Of course the 10V was the date guesstimated back when the order came in and the Aug 12th would have been a date arrived at from different sources and reasons 

As we know and accept the date stamped on the door/warranty tag is often not the build date, the date the car was completed or even started on.
