I’ll get those knobs in on another order.
Fighting with the clutch linkage. I bought what was supposed to be a complete setup out of a 67. It’s happy on the transmission end, the middle pivot, but not the top. Ordered a new rod from the pedal to the equalizer bar. Shaped very differently but didn’t help. Might have to order another equalizer bar.
Put the shifter in tonight. That was a major thing in terms of mental health haha. Also put the starter on. Got lucky on a reman starter (if it works). It’s a correct 1967 Mustang casting with a 1968 date. Not that anyone sees it but kind of school in my OCD book of things that matter least to the majority.
To do before starting and running around the block:
Solve Clutch Linkage Puzzle
Carb check and install (rebuilt in 2015ish... on the shelf since)
Fuel line from pump to carb
Vacuum lines to distributor, other things.
ATF in the T5
A yoke in the T5 to keep the fluid in
A right length driveshaft to hold the yoke to hold the fluid in...
Install PS and AC on engine
Fan Shroud
Radiator
Hoses
H-pipe
Fluid for PS
Battery
Top off axle fluid
Bleed brakes
Temporary fuel source.
In theory this could be done in about a week. In reality, 50/50 for a 2020 crank up. Might wait until 2021 the way this year has gone.
