Heard something about paying annual property tax on the vehicle before being able to get it registered.

Making the move in November. Need to know how to register my 67. Regular, antique, classic?? Any help appreciated.

Brian

Thanks Bob

Zinc, or zinc dichromate (silver or gold)?

What is the correct finish? Painted over? Thanks.

Brian

Was hoping someone could provide the thread size and length. Easier to search the web if I have those specs. Also, any specs on the 2 front plate screws?

Brian

While we're on the subject of gauge pod hardware, what are the correct screws to use? Head type, length, thread. The ones that hold the sheetmetal plate on, and the ones that hold the gauges pods together. Missing my sheetmetal plate screws and pretty sure I've got the wrong ones on the pods.Any pics appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Vcode. That shows the C2DZ-17271-F, 18 tooth to be the one. Thanks again for the link. Brian

Going with 225/60-15s. Will have to do some research tonight. Just curious but how much does each inch in diameter change the tooth count selection. B

MPC download site says C2DZ-17271-F, 18 tooth gear, for the cable gear. I have the pink gear on the transmission shaft. Just want to confirm that this is right???  3.89 gears. Thanks. Brian

I took a stab at repainting my 67 heater hose stripes this weekend. Opinions on the results are welcome.
1. Materials - heater hoses ( I'm using the white striped ones I got from Marti). 6' length of 1/2" diameter wooden dowel, Lowes, HD. Wide tip paint stick, marker, pen thingy. Michaels craft store. Blue tape, the kind with the extra good edge sealing. Picture shows yellow tape being used but it bled under quite a bit so I re-did it with the blue.


2. Wipe hoses clean and let dry. I used a wax and grease remover. Insert dowel through hose and secure dowel so it doesn't roll around. I used c-clamps and scraps of wood to hold it down to the table.


3 Mask off to appropriate width. I used the white stripes as a guide. Measured when done and came out to 1/4" wide. Use the good blue tape. I when over the edges with the smooth side of a socket to get a good seal.


4. Follow directions on paint stick to get paint flowing. Wipe paint stick along masked off area of hose. Not too fast, not too slow, you'll see how the paint is laying down as you go. 2 passes may be necessary to cover the width because the tip is flat and the hose is curved.


5. Once you have it covered peel off the tape. Maybe you can wait until it dries but I took it off as soon as I finished with the paint stick.


6. The finished product.




Opinions welcome. I'm sure with more experimentation the process could be refined. One thing I thought of was to, before releasing paint from the marker, take a round file or x-acto knife or something to re-shape the tip to conform better to the curve of the hose. I gave it a real quick try after I started the paint pen, now I have red files. Hope this helps others who need red 67 hoses. Brian

Seems the easiest fix might have been to just disconnect the wiring to it. Then it's just a red piece of plastic on the side of the car. Brian

Interesting. I got my hoses from Marti and didn't see any red striped ones for 67. Marti and  WCCC have them for late 68, after 2/1/68. More San Jose madness?? Brian

Update. Received my new Ford tooling clutch fork today, the one listed for regular 67 289s, and release rod. Mocked up and looks like there shouldn't be any alignment troubles. The pic with rod installed has the z-bar about 1/4" shy of being all the way on the pivot because the rod was hitting the wooden engine cart. But the felt washer should just about make up for the space so should be a good representation of how things will be once installed. Middle pic has 2 pieces of threaded rod nutted together to make a shorter rod to check alignment with zbar pushed all the way onto the block pivot. This was before I realized the felt washer would take up the space. Hope this helps get us towards a more final conclusion. There may be other factory original parts out there for this combination but these are readily available to keep things moving. Hope this helps. Brian

I'm at about the same point on my car and have a few questions. How does one go about changing white stripe hoses to red. Any suggestions as to techniques, materials, etc? Steering box top blackout sheen flat, matte, satin, semi?? Firewall sealant brand. What's the preferred rattle can brand? I'm guessing one that dries black not brownish, and has the best build properties. Any help much appreciated. Brian
