    Questions on power steering oil cooler

    A lot of non a/c cars never got the cooler and a few parts cars I've collective over the years with a/c didn't also. They all got the longer loop hose. Ordering district might have made the difference if it did or didn't

    Dog dish caps

    Remembering back as I was ordering my 72 mach the salesman saying I still had my choice of which hood. Well no kid going to go for the flat one. Today it would be rare order, maybe a one of one and worth more, but I still don't want the flat one.

    Identifying Differential

    Depends how easy you are on it. Ford had a reason for using 9" on all 351 and up.

    A/C Valves

    Kind of off topic, but Walmart has switched to propane because it saves on there electric bill. I switch from r134 to r290 (propane) on 2 cars that still had York compressors. Works like R12, takes less than half the amount, works with any oil, even 10W30 engine oil. No more belt slap or engine...

    Registered for my 1rst MCA show...

    I have to agree with Carolina about the MCA. A few years back I enter the 72 in a driven class in GA, and happen to be staying at the same motel where the other driven class contestees were unloading there's. I did get 3rd, but no sense doing it again if folks are dishonest.

    spot welder or not?

    I have a Miller 220v. Most of the time you need more reach and around things. More reach you lose clamping force. Trying to force more clamping the tips become misaligned. Today the Miller just collects dust.

    Mustang Mach E

    Under hood wiring - shock tower braces - convenience group

    It looks like it's for options like automatic seat back release when doors open, plus under hood light and maybe a few other pkg. options. The one pictured doesn't have the pigtail for the hood lite, plus the ones I have is a black wire. So I might be wrong.
