1967 Ford Mustang

BP-10 compound — street/track compound matched to Wilwood calipers already being fitted. Confirm caliper model from your Wilwood kit to ensure pad shape match (D154 or similar). Demon Tweeks ships efficiently to NL.

Essential for the disc/drum conversion — balances front disc bias against the stock rear drums. Adjustable type allows fine-tuning on the road. Summit Racing ships internationally to the Netherlands with reasonable lead times.

Matched to Wilwood front disc conversion kits on classic Mustangs. 1-1/8" bore suits disc/drum split. Technical data shows master cylinder is 'new to be installed' — this is the correct Wilwood complement to the Classic Front Disc Kit already chosen.

Stainless braided hoses replace the rubber front flex lines as part of the disc conversion — reduces pedal sponginess and resists heat expansion. AutoDoc NL stocks a range of classic American car brake lines and ships within NL next day. Confirm fitting end sizes match Wilwood caliper banjo (typically 10mm x 1.0).

Rear brake condition is listed as unknown — fresh shoes are low-cost insurance before the car goes back on the road. 1967 Mustang rear drums are typically 9" (6-cylinder) or 10" (V8) — confirm drum size before ordering. AutoDoc NL is ideal for sourcing and delivers quickly within the Netherlands.

Edelbrock 1478 is the metering rod assortment specifically for Performer Series carbs including the 1906. Gives you a full range of step-up rod diameters to dial in cruise and WOT mixture after removing the vacuum-lean compensation. Essential for iterative tuning.

Edelbrock 1439 jet assortment covers sizes 0.095" to 0.110" – now that the vacuum leak is fixed you may find the previously maxed-out jets are now too large. Having a full set lets you step down in 0.002" increments to find the correct street tune AFR of ~14.0–14.7:1.

Edelbrock 1477 rebuild/tune kit includes gaskets, needle & seat, and accelerator pump. Since the carb was running at extremes during the vacuum leak period, replacing the accelerator pump diaphragm and float bowl gasket now is cheap insurance and prevents new air leaks at the carb itself.

Fuel line/filter is listed as 'check and specify' in the build data. A fresh inline filter before the carb is essential during retuning – debris from the disturbed intake/fuel line during the vacuum leak repair can clog the needle & seat and cause false lean/rich readings. Use a clear-body unit so you can visually confirm flow.

The intake was reseated to fix the vacuum leak – a small tube of Ultra Copper is needed at the front and rear intake end seals (common leak points on 302 V8 with Edelbrock intakes). Confirm the repair is fully sealed before finalising the carb tune, otherwise AFR readings will remain inconsistent.

Correct heat range for a mildly built 302 with MSD ignition running rich. Hotter than stock to resist fouling under rich AFR conditions. Copper core reads combustion colour well for diagnostic inspection. Gap to 0.040" with MSD. Check colour after short run — sooty black confirms rich condition.

Alternative hotter heat range option if BKR5E still foul under persistent rich conditions. Only step up to these if plugs continue to carbon-foul after carb corrections. Buy as a backup set — cheap insurance during active tuning phase.

Essential for this job. MSD systems fire harder and benefit from a slightly wider gap — typically 0.040–0.045" (1.0–1.1mm) on a stock-ish 302. Coin-style gapper is more accurate than wire gauges for tapered-seat plugs. Confirm gap before reinstall every time.

Apply sparingly to plug threads before reinstall into cast iron heads. Prevents galling and makes future removal much easier — especially important on a freshly rebuilt engine still going through heat cycles. Do NOT apply to electrode end.

Apply inside spark plug boot before reinstalling HT leads. Prevents boot from bonding to the plug insulator and protects against moisture and arcing — important with MSD HT leads under high voltage. Small tube goes a long way across 8 cylinders.

One heat range hotter than BKR5E — recommended as a diagnostic swap given persistent rich condition and potential fouling. Hotter plug burns off carbon deposits better under rich running. If plugs are reading sooty black on BKR5E, trial these before re-gapping. Gap to 0.035" (0.9mm) for MSD systems.

With MSD plug wires on a hot V8, boot sealing is critical. Prevents carbon tracking and boot adhesion to plug ceramic — essential when pulling plugs regularly during active tuning. Apply to inside of boot before reinstalling.

Fresh top-end rebuild means correct torque on re-installation is critical — aluminium heads especially. Ford 302 cast iron heads: 25–30 Nm. A quality 5/8" plug socket with rubber insert protects plug ceramic during removal and re-fit. Check you have a 3/8" drive torque wrench available.

Essential before removing plugs on a recently rebuilt engine — blow out plug wells to prevent debris falling into combustion chambers. Especially important given this engine is fresh and any contamination should be avoided.

Free NGK plug reading guide — critical for this job since the primary goal is diagnosing combustion condition from plug colour and deposits. With rich AFRs across all throttle positions, expect sooty black carbon fouling. Document plug condition per cylinder to identify any outliers suggesting mechanical issues post-rebuild.

The original rag joint (rubber coupling) on the 1967 Mustang steering column is often worn and should be replaced when fitting EPAS. A worn rag joint will give vague steering feel even with new power assist. Check fitment for 1967 Ford Mustang on AutoDoc.

When the column is dropped to install the EPAS motor, it's the ideal time to replace the lower column bearing. Common wear item on 57-year-old Mustangs. Prevents slop and rattle after reassembly.

The EPAS kit requires a dedicated 12V power feed directly to the battery with appropriate fusing (typically 25-30A). A quality relay and inline fuse holder is needed for a clean, safe install. Available locally at Conrad or any automotive electrics supplier in NL.

Depending on your current steering wheel setup, the EPAS motor added to the column may require a slim hub adapter to maintain correct steering wheel position and clearance. Mustang Depot Europe is NL-based and stocks classic Mustang parts — worth contacting directly for availability.
