Is that with your 390? I had a 67 390 gt mustangs with power disk brakes and the back two plugs on the drivers side were a real killer, They made ya have all kinds of fits.

yeah thats the 390. No room at all. The brake booster is like 1/4" above the valve cover, and it hits when I stomp on it [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Here's when it had the 289 in it compared to the 390

289, manual brakes

390, disk brakes

Thats tight Rick but try the two center plugs on a 460 equipped 68 mustang with unmodified shock towers.

I feel sorry for you. But I thought the 460 was narrower then a FE, and the Mustang engine bays wider then the Fairlane/Torino's
