Enjoy a nice 3 minute tour of Maple Grove Raceway from inside my Mustang....

My shield had expired so a shiney new TCI unit was bolted on along with some new Jiffy-Tite Quick disconnect lines to help ease the in and out dance for the future. Nice stuff. Made up new lines to and from the cooler plus installed a fresh AutoMeter temp manifold block for the trans temp gauge. No leaks and we were ready to go...

Lines



Shitty pictures of the lines and temp block...

A few months late on this but...I freshened the trans and converter this summer. After 7 seasons the sprag gave up in the converter...soooo out it came. Shipped both pieces up to Dynamic Racing in CT and a 2 weeks later....

Ready to go back in...

great story and GREAT car! I dearly miss my 69 Fastback. Best looking body for sure and I love seeing them get the drag treatment.
