Mustang Tech

Looking at the wiring diagram you posted, the yellow wire (460) picks up 12v power from the light switch. That is probably the contract you shorted to earth and in turn ble the fuse. When you press the horn pad power passes through the the pad to the other contact, power then goes through the second...

Don't know the part number but my engine came out of an XB Falcon and my temp gauge appears to be accurate with the XB sensor. Try Repco or Bursons, I'm sure they would still have a listing for XB Falcon.

Thanks Kerry
So do you know if XA-B control arms the same as Mustang??
There seems to be a similarly in the part no's and price wise they are cheaper.

Hi All
I've got to do some suspension work on a mates 71 Convtible.
Does anyone know if the upper control arm bush kits are the same as XA-XB?
TIA

I'd have to sell my left kidney & right nut just to buy it. Then the wife would divorce me if I bought another project. The last one took me 26 years to do, wife kept saying if it's not finished by Christmas she was leaving. After 25 years I realized she wasn't going anywhere so i finished it.

Anyone with some spare cash?
Here's a project for you

I was going to put in a TKO600 but am thinking now I can't be bothered (anyone want a full 1970 TKO600 gearbox conversion?) quote] 18 Months ago I would have jumped at that, but now after being on Historic Rego for 2 years I've realized how little I'm driving it now and couldn't justify the expense...

I probably went a bit far saying the rod comes out glowing red, long time since I was there when he was doing a set of pistons & rods. This is the type of heating unit he uses and you can see the blue on the rod after it's done. May not be as blue as the rods in edz pictures but it shows the pro...

Those heat marks are normal. A mate of mine has a machine shop and he puts the little end in an electric furnace and gets the metal glowing red, the gudgeon pin just falls in and after it's centred he puts it aside to cool down and contract around the pin.

Can't remember exactly what I did, did it to long ago. All I can tell you is that these are the bush kits that I used.
Cut a little off the tube/sleeve to crush the bush up tighter.

You won't want to go home after being on the Sunny South Coast.

Very tricky bit of kit.

But the other video of the engine running is just AWSOME!!!

What about sending the current steering box to a reputable recondioner? If the box is worn they can hard chrome it. If done properly it will probably never need doing again. Most other steering and suspension parts I would think would be readily accessible.

I have all of the above fitted to mine for the same reason (to prevent the suspenion squeak). I also fitted the lower control arms and radius rods. Also did the Selby Drop. I would doubt that the alloy calipers will fit to the cast caliper brackets. So you may as well get the full setup from the ute...
