Interesting @69 Rustang...I was thinking the same thing. Mine sticks out by 1/2" on one side and I thought moving the center forward may pull the sides in. I have two issues:
Mine definitely has a bit of a bend (flare) on the end of one side. I still don't get out of dealing with that :( ...
I have a couple of the corrugated rubber tubing that carries the door wiring (between the door and the A pillar). My 71 Mach 1 didn't originally come with them, but I'd like to run speaker wiring through them. Two questions:
Does anyone have any pictures they can post? I'm trying to figure...
69 Rustang, were you ever able to figure out how to reshape the urethane bumper? The ends of mine are also bent out a little. I would love to learn from your experience.
Thanks,

Hey there fellow Stangers,
I bought a set of these trim pieces off of eBay before seeing this thread (it's gonna cost me). One of my side trim pieces had the ears (the little triangular tab that sticks up in the pictures above) and one didn't. I thought the asymmetry was a little odd for...
Yep. We've heard so many war stories about trying to get 4300 and 4300-D tuned right that we decided to go 4100. It's not stock, but hopefully, it will work for us.
I think the older carbs had a better solution (3/16 tube x 1/8 NPT adapter), but I suspect Ford may have changed that to reduce...
Hey Jason,
Just checking back to see if you had a chance to check if you had the pedestal bracket. If so, let me know how much you want for it. If not, that's ok too, it looks like they're not too hard to find (when you know what you're looking for :huh: ).
Nick
Do you think it could be any other size? I bought a 1/8" NPT male to 1/8" tube and it won't screw in. Both sets of threads look fine, but the 1/8" NPT seems too big and a slightly different thread.
Thanks,
Nick
So sorry, I never saw this response and have been away from the forum.
I still haven't solved the problem.
I'm looking for a barb fitting that screws into the distributor vacuum port (so I can use a rubber hose) or the correct brass fitting so I can plumb in a hardline to the distributor. ...
Hi Don,
Thanks for the response. The interesting part is my son and I both remember seeing the dry intake. So we were pretty sure it was a Cleveland, not a Windsor. But, then again, who knows what you're looking at, at the salvage yard.

Steve,
Thanks for all the details, and sorry for the delay (I needed to get down to the garage to get some picks). Here is a picture of the pedestals I have. They are D1AA-2882-ABs.
Now, this is starting to fit. The 77 Ranchero was an H-code (from the VIN plate) but may have had the 351C...
I hope you don't mind, but these are going up on the shop wall as a reminder of where we need to get to. Beautifully done!
Any chance you remember the part number of that pedestal?
Thanks,
Nick
Thanks Steve, much appreciated!
I'm still baffled how I have the wrong pedestal bracket when I pulled it off an H-code Ranchero. In any case, given that there was only one water pump style, the problem MUST be the pedestal. Both of mine are 2882-AB. Do you know what engine that goes on...
