I have six motors sitting on my bench for the 67 Parklane not including the four in the car. All of them use three small round gear plugs.

Lucky you... Call the CA DMV at 1-800-777-0133

A "Y" plate would be 1969. My 1968 Cougar's "WTD" plate was issued late May 1968. Here is a 69 Buick.

The Ambassador was straight forward. Take new white plates and use blue plates I supply. It was the other two since the Mustang plates were to be transferred over to the Dodge. That part led to uncertainty when it came time to finish the Mustang she then put the plates for the Dodge under her...

Part of my restoration was to always get correct YOM plates for the Polara. The seven digit white and blue plates look so wrong on an older car. Maybe not to younger folks but to me they are an eye sore. Well today was the day to go down to the DMV. I went to Window 18 and when I arrived I asked...

Well I have all those styles to choose from. When using spring type clamps I have always placed it right in front of the bulge on the flat area.

So the time has come to find out what was the correct way to secure the vacuum brake line to the booster and the nipple on the intake. I currently have it secured by two small worm gear fasteners and it is beginning to irritate me every time I see those two. My Fords use a small band and a tool...

Sand blasting gets into those tiny little depressions which always surround rust holes. If left then those seeds will one day come back. You could wire wheel which takes care of the level surface but would need something like Picklex 20 to deal with the rust in the tiny pits.

I use the same material for my lines also. One thing I have found is that for me to make a flare that doesn't leak, and I have had four of those on my truck, has a lot to do with the tool that cuts the line. Of the two I have one tool was responsible for all the leaky lines even though it did...

Ugh, which is why I assemble my engines after the machining even though my machinist I have known since 1988. He can install the pistons and crank, after balancing, and then I take it form there which he prefers. He does a lot of race engines and those guys know how to assemble their engines and...

Been using that for the last 15 years around here. The fixture below uses 6 8-32x 3/4" screws. They have been sitting in that fixture since 1953 at least so they are quite rusted in. The first attempt at trying to remove one of the slot screws told me quickly it would get rounded out. Some of...

I've gone the root canal way and I can wait whatever it takes as I am in no rush...

Sent them my order for the seat bottom of the driver's seat for my Cougar.

That looks like a piece broke off as I don't recall it being separate pieces when I went to work on it.

Ok, I knew that since mine is missing and all I have left is a shaft and threads.

I have used this for years. I was amazed how dirty my door sills were after using it. My application cloth turned blackish as I wiped it over the parts. By the third application the cloth looked clean. Great for pieces that haven't been cleaned in years like my door sills after buying the car...

I have numerous factory manuals and none mention decals which doesn't surprise me in the least.

It is about 92 outside right now. The weather is all screwed up. We are supposed to have a few hot days and then it always gives way to an off shore breeze bringing in the fog and cool air. You know the coldest summer I ever spent was in San Francisco according to Mark Twain. The current...

As I bleed my brakes so I can replace two year fluid I am watching the master. While doing that the vacuum hose for the booster is staring me in the face with two worm clamps on it. Those are not right and details like this bug me to no end. On my Fords one uses crimp line clamps for these types...

Plastic plating back in 2009.
