Gas cap, filler neck question, driving me crazy!

So this is one of those annoying things, drives me crazy. It works, no gas leaks or sloshes out, but WTH can I do to fix this?

I think the previous owner put in a new 20 gallon tank, but the necks slots are not lined up properly so when the cap is tightened, the Mustang is running towards the sky.

Looking at new filler necks, they all seem to be clocked the same way (at least in their images displayed), so what can I do to get the slots at 9 o'clock, and 3 o'clock, to match the cap?

'69 Mustang: Headlight removal trick? + Borgeson Power Steering conversion reviews?

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice on two separate items for my 1969 Mustang:

  1. Headlight Removal Issues (High/Low Beams)I am trying to remove the headlights but I am completely stuck. I cannot figure out how to access the two screws to remove the outer bezel/trim ring around the headlight, nor the ring holding the bulb into the bucket. Is the inner retaining ring a keyhole design? If I can slide a skinny screwdriver past the trim ring, can I just loosen those screws slightly and twist the ring to pop it out? Or do I absolutely have to remove the outer headlight bezel first to get the bulb out? Any tips on accessing those hidden screws without scratching the paint would be huge. I do not have a lift, so this will be done laying under the car on the garage floor, if underneath access required.

  1. Borgeson Power Steering Conversion Kit Experiences: I am planning a steering upgrade down the road. Right now, I have the factory Bendix power steering setup, but I hate the vague, loose feel and the constant steering wheel play. Has anyone here done the Borgeson power steering box conversion? I want to know real-world feedback: Does it actually give you a tighter, more modern steering feel? How was the installation process (especially clearance with exhaust/headers)?Is it worth the money compared to rebuilding the factory control valve and ram?

For context, almost all of my other steering and suspension components have already been upgraded or replaced, so this gearbox setup is the very last 'old part' left to tackle. Hoping to resolve the roughly 2 inches of play in the wheel, make the wife feel safer driving it.

Searched for reviews, but nothing very recent, so asking again. :-)

Thanks in advance for any help or insight!

Just joined the club! New-to-me '69 Coupe (and a formal apology to my bank account).

Hey y'all, just joined the forum after adopting a '69 Coupe. I’m planning on using the search function heavily to copy everyone else's homework on upgrades and fixes, but I wanted to say hello first!

I do have one specific request: My car is a factory non-AC model. If you've added Vintage Air or a similar aftermarket kit to your '69/'70, could you share some interior pics? I'm trying to see how the vents look integrated into the dash, or if I should just accept my fate and buy a battery-powered clip-on fan.

Here are a few pictures of the new project. Glad to be here and ready to start ordering parts I probably don't need yet!

Dog dish hub caps and wash the day I got it. Few quick updates later, American Racing Tq Thrust II, BFGs of course, and dual flowmaster 40's with an H pipe. Quick and easy mods I liked!
