Who would have thunk the la Floridaland Panthers would have advanced this far in the chase of the STAN LEE KUP ?


We is in da NHL playoff bracket 2024

At least they eliminated all the hosers / muffin busters from the playoffs.....eh !

eh, eh, eh, eh....I like that sound


It's like a laugh or a cough but...eh, eh, eh

It is a melt down for entirely different reasons.  I woke up this morning spewing a vile diatribe of filth coming from my mouth, a holdover since late Thursday afternoon.

If one knows....they know....

Melt down

la florida

Today sorry for the late notice

We have run petronix for years with no issues.

I have a new kit in the box that I carry as a spare in the trunk. ( by the way we also have a "spare tire" in the trunk, you know just in case...)

What's $110 of parts in a car worth $150/250,000 .... pocket change

As far as the coil, tall one short one, yellow top no yellow on the top, 7mm wires 8 mm wires, at this point it really does not matter to me.

Not running with the big boys at the "concours" events.

We run with the kids at McDonalds as they love to point, look and touch as we drive in.

Or at any another local podunk event that they can sit and look up close what a true Shelby or "old car" is.

Meant to be driven...enjoy the ride

Here you have a 68 and 69 oil cooler. Both are different, but both add more volume or capacity to the equation.

I have always used this TSB when changing oils on my 1969s

* Capacity 7 quarts with oil and filter change per Ford TSB article #2322 published May 1970; add 1 more quart (8 quarts total) if equipped with an external oil cooler.

The discussion is about a 1968 oil cooler not a 1969 /70.  You are apparently not familiar with the different oil coolers. The 67/68 and the 69/70 oil coolers are completely different shape and consequently have a different capacity.

If 68 through 69 (70) used the FE 428 and some got oil coolers / some did not.

Although the 68 was different cooler than later years, you still would need more oil to fill the additional capacity created by the added oil lines and coolers.

More oil yes or no ?

Wow, a lot for me to unpack and understand. School is in session. Thank you for the info. The coil was moved from the driver's side to the passenger side by my friend. I didn't know this was possible but he said it belonged on the passenger side of the engine block. I tool a couple photos. I will check out the ignition wires as advised.

Good move on coil and keep it as far as possible from the heater hoses.


On the coil take the petronix sticker off.

 Then get model car paint, mix yellow with black until you get the color close to the original coils color. Paint the top.

Magic !

you know Pintos don't look that bad after all

We have run Petronix for years, no problems

Let me ask where is your ignition coil located?

Better yet, take a picture and post it in here. Cause my magic ball stopped working this morning.....

Thanks in advance and happy melt down day

The first MELT DOWN DAY was a historic,  folkloric and caloric event !

I remember that day clearly and to commemorate it, here is a burrito grilled cheese sandwich....

to infinity....
