I DID connect a battery to the '68, an had keys made from the original ignition, so I know that electricity flows without any smoke coming out.
And drain the old oil and get fresh in there.On, Start, Aux.
I need to replace both the main battery lead and the ground lead before connecting a Group 24 battery, and have a hammer ready to 'message' the starter, if necessary.
And before all that, I need o pull the spark plugs and look around with my bore scope. Lubricate with some Marvel Mystery oil, and then later, try to spin it over by hand.
Like I said, It's a process.
Definitely.And drain the old oil and get fresh in there.
Don't want old tar circulating around.

I don't think that technically they were headlights per se.ALL the early Mustang GT's had 4 headlights. The 67 Shelby GT 350 and 500 had giant grill headlights, making them 4 headlight cars too.
I'm still in love with the front of my (ex) 1967 GT390 coupe. (looking for a front pic)

I can't find the correct thread for this response Ken...the one where you posted about the poor sound from your Golf. Here's something I read a few months ago on how the manufacturers tune the systems for various vehicles...this one in particular is one of the engineers on the Fisker Karma. Great insight into these things and why some are great and some suck, etc...I don't think that technically they were headlights per se.
You're right.I don't think that technically they were headlights per se.
