| Full-size Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury cars » 69 Ford XL radiator swap » June 2, 2020 7:56 pm |
Hi All,
I'm trying to replace my radiator with a 3 core. The radiator I received is supposed to be for my car. 429 engine. The hose connections are smaller than the OEM hoses I got from NAPA. The radiator it has now, the bottom has a hose sleeve to make it fit. Seems to work ok. Are all the radiators like that or should I try for another one?
Thanks

Thank you BKW and Lonestar.
I ordered the gas tank ring. Should go smoothly.
Thanks

I'm got a new fuel tank for my XL convertible on the way. The pictures of it show 2 holes. One in the fill hole. There isn't a spout or anything to connect the filler tube to. Do I have to fabricate something or will it be obvious when I take out the old tank? Anyone done this?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement trunk pan for my convertible? I've checked everywhere I can find. No luck on my 69. Lots of stuff for up to 68. I'm running out of places to look.
| Full-size Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury cars » 69 Ford XL convertible gas leak » May 3, 2019 7:50 am |
I've figured out the gas leak. The tank is up against the front wall of the trunk. The trunk wall has a small lip reaching out under the gas tank just a little. The hole in the gas tank is between the tank and the trunk wall. The gas leaks down onto the lip, sitting there corroding the seam. It leaked in that way. New tank arrives today.

The trunk is still drying. It can only be a problem with the filler neck.
Thanks

Thanks, but no it doesn't...as far as I've been able to see. Can't think of any other reason though.

Hi, My 69v XL convertible seems to be leaking gas into the trunk. I can't find any evidence of it leaking into the well, the carpet is soaked. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
