well I got the jitters and couldn't stand not interacting with buddy, so I gave him some much required attention, and installed a few goodies I picked up from late model restoration
In stalling the gasket, it was from Mustang Bob I think, along with a metal (brass?) fitting for the shifter pivot, should firm it up a lot better then the rubber bushing I had there...

I don't either. I don't drink tea anymore either. Used to drink a half gallon of sweet tea a day, but I only drink water now. Haven't had a Coke ( soft drink )in 12 years, and only have sweet tea a couple times a year (usually my aunt's at Christmas, hers is the best I've ever had).
I'd say theres more kinds of tea than just sweet, but I have a feeling you might be a southerner. In which case you would probably agree w/ as one of my buddies from NC would say "There's sweet tea...and then theres just dirty water"
ordered more parts, a lower shift boot, and firewall adjuster, and lost one of the stupid hairpin clips, now to go to my local ford place and hope they are able to figure out what I want and pick one up...uuug!!! hate delays, but at least it will all be worth it!! can't wait to take Buddy for a spin to try out the new shifter, clutch quadrant and Firewall adjuster!!! excited!!

Nathan - you made me weak in the knees. Hearing it in person is infinitely better than in videos. I got the pleasure of seeing and hearing it in person. It's unreal. Love it.
Btw, he can't get Kooks side pipes anymore - they're no longer available. You and I and (Ford20) might be the only guys left here that have 'em.
thanks, hope to have it all done by Wensday so I can take it to the shop for the clutch kit install, kind of hoping I won't need the clutch fork or flywheel, but I got those just in case I do also got an entire gear assy for the clutch quadrent, all that for two pins...oh well, at least I have what I need, and will have extra parts for anyone who needs them!!
Now I just need the hardware kit to arrive (was hoping it would be Monday) but its not here, so now I need to get that in, along with the firewall adjuster and the lower boot to have the stang running again...uuug....

They don't sell them anymore? Guess we lucked out! They're probably my favorite mod. And I'm still dying to hear Marilyn. Can't imagine how it sounds with the headers.
Found out the hard way that things aren't in the same location on the FRPP intake manifold vs the stock one... Looks like I'm going to have to remote mount

Yeah - I called Kooks about something, I don't remember. Ah I remember now, it was about the fasteners for the side pipes - I wanted to make sure they were included in my order. Great customer service too. But anyways, the guy there said that the Kooks Side Pipes were JUST discontinued. Which means, I may have gotten one of the last sets that they have made!!! It's a rare gem indeed!
I might have to drive up to Minn next year sometime. You can hear her in the flesh then. If your car makes me weak in the knees, Marilyn's sounds makes me fall right to the floor and cower like a baby and go insane. Kindda like Homer from below:
Well I finally got part one of what turned from a single part update into a full fledge three part adventure…
the shifter and and all pieces for the interior are installed…obligatory pics soon to come, part two I guess is also done as the clutch quadrant is installed as well...
i have one last piece needing installed but waiting on the clutch cable to arrive…fun, also needing to get the trans pulled and clutch kit installed
