Yeah Doug that’s what I’m worried about, I guess I will be doing some measuring. To bad there aren’t any specs that I can measure against

The 1967 Ford Mustang Shop Manual has the pertinent body measurements you can check against.

So I didn’t get to take car out of trailer but did take carbs off and check for dirt in intake and although there was a dusting on carbs it looks like I dodged a Bullit. Put carbs back on a fired her up all seems good. Went to shut off key and it won’t turn off like I’m not turning switch. Seems like I need an ignition switch. I disconnected dizzy to get it to turn off but fuel pump still running, I had to disconnect battery. I know the car got banged around but for the ignition switch to go bad is weird. Anybody think it could be anything else.

Joe I haven’t read the whole thread. Is your ignition through an MSD box?
If so and IIRC (which is always suspect) I had to install a relay in line to get my truck to work consistently.

I am running an MSD6AL. IIRC whats that. This is the second time this has happened to me in like 2.5 to 3 years. 
Maybe three times I always change the ignition switch and it works but maybe something is making them crap out.

Do you have an electric fan on the radiator?  I had the same problem with an AC cobra I had some years ago  either shut off the fan first or find a way to isolate it from your ignition / key switch

I do have an electric fan that runs off of a temp switch. So your saying put a toggle in between to shut power off.

First to Russ67scode the not shutting off with the key you told me to take a look at my electric fans. Well it was my fuel pump so thank you for steering me in the right direction. I shut it off before I shut the car off.

Well anyway went out today to make sure the car was ok after my 4 wheel drive spectacle. I ended up needing a lower control arm and strut rod so of course I got both and a rim and 2 tires and a wheel alignment.
First pass I ran an 11.15 @ 121.44 it felt good but I felt a little on guard because of going off the track.
Second pass I ran an 11.14 @ 121.37 I really thought I might get into the 10s but maybe it’s not in the cards. But I was happy that it was consistent and the car went straight.
So FE reunion here we come!

Get an oil pressure shutoff switch for that fuel pump too.

What exactly do you mean Drew. Do you mean in case of rollover. And if that is what you mean do you have one in mind.

I’d have to look it up.
Mine is from Carter. Shuts the engine off anytime there is less than 6psi oil pressure. Takes 5 minutes to plumb in. Nice piece of mind tho.
