New Products
1. 1969-70 Ford Mustang Instruments
Classic Instruments now offers an all-new 1969-70 Ford Mustang direct-fit package, featuring an all-electric cluster with a speedometer and tachometer, plus a set of two dual gauges reading fuel/oil and temp/volts. It has green “Halo” turn signal indicator(s) and a red high beam indicator in the speedometer. Mounting hardware and a wiring harness are included to install with the original bezel and diffuser, and setup is a breeze with push-button speedometer calibration and a built-in ECM signal filter switch. All other necessary sending units are included with a Classic Instruments Ford sending unit kit (PN SNFDNF); no fuel sending unit. Fuel gauge is calibrated to 75-10 ohm. Save space with Classic Instruments’ Zeus Speedometer Technology built in, meaning the cluster requires no external control boxes and works directly with ECM or VSS signals. This package is available in seven different design series, plus an OE style.

2. Kinetic Billet Hood Hinges
Eddie Motorsports’ newly designed Kinetic hood hinge combines form and function in a CNC-machined T-6061 billet design. The new Kinetic hinge offers a custom alternative to the inferior OE stamped steel hinge.

Mounting points feature larger machined areas to allow more adjustment than stock hinges and help achieve a perfect hood gap. Sealed bearings and stainless hardware ensure durability and smooth operation. CNC-machined windows enhance the distinctive look of the Kinetic hinge. Available for popular applications, including 1967-69 Camaro/Firebird, 1964-67 Chevelle, 1963-67 Impala, and 1964-67 GTO/Cutlass. It can be customized with any of Eddie Motorsports’ finishes, such as raw machined or Fusioncoat colors. Sold as a pair with vehicle-specific, gas-charged struts and stainless mounting hardware.

3. Gen 5 For 1982-92 Camaros And Firebirds
Vintage Air has recently released its all-new Gen 5 SureFit Climate-Control System for 1982-92 Camaros and Pontiacs. These SureFit Kits are designed for cars originally equipped with factory A/C and are available as either a “complete kit” or an “evaporator kit.” As with all Vintage Air SureFit Kits, they are designed to install with minimal modifications to the original firewall.

All Vintage Air Gen 5 SureFit Kits are electronically controlled and include several new OEM-quality components, such as an injection-molded case assembly, higher-torque actuator motors, and rubber over-molded blend air doors. These Gen 5 SureFit Kits feature Vintage Air’s largest and most powerful blower motor, providing 20 percent more CFM than standard blowers.

Vintage Air’s Gen 5 system is its most powerful and intelligent climate control, using an exclusive, fully electronic microprocessor control system that eliminates cables or vacuum connections. The separate high-capacity parallel-flow heater coil and aluminum plate-and-fin cooling coil deliver outstanding performance and precise “just right temperature” air blends, with adjustable blower fan speed and high-volume dehumidified defrost. These SureFit Kits also include a new bolt-in LED-backlit control panel that maintains a factory-style look.

4. Lower Cowl Panel
Auto Metal Direct has once again made it easier for us to get the 1966-67 Ford Fairlane the shot it deserves at a second lease on life. Just released is the AMD Lower Cowl Panel (PN 360-8466-1) for the 1966-67 Ford Fairlane—this will also work on your Falcon, Ranchero, Mercury Comet, and Cyclones of the same year range. The lower cowl is a common area for water to collect and rust out over time. This is a needed replacement on almost every Fairlane.

Made like OE Ford (PN C6OZ-760218-A), each piece is stamped from high-quality OE-gauge steel using AMD’s exclusive new tools and features the correct shape, size, bends, and holes, like the original. EDP-coated to help protect against rust and corrosion.

All the accompanying brackets and sheet metal are available exclusively through AMD. These OE-quality components from AMD are the perfect touch for your restoration.

5. A-Body Adjustment
Classic Performance Products introduces another addition to their growing Pro-Touring line of High-Clearance Adjustable Rear Sway Bars for 1964-72 A-body cars. It features 1.25-inch-diameter hollow bars with a precision laser-cut windowed 3/8-inch leg, making it lightweight. CPP’s new adjustable rear sway bar kits feature billet ends welded to the sway bar’s center section to provide more clearance around the shock mounts. With some applications, the shocks interfere with their Rear Pro-Touring Sway Bar kits.

This new fully adjustable design provides the benefits of their Rear Pro-Touring Sway Bar kits with more space and increased roll resistance. These sway bars will fit both stock and aftermarket rearends with a 3-inch axle tube. Kits come complete with gloss black frame-mount brackets and all necessary hardware for an easy installation.

6. A/C Compressor Flip Manifold
Hot Rods By Dean offers a cleaner, more efficient fix for one of the trickiest parts of adding A/C to a hot rod: a new A/C Compressor Flip Manifold designed for SD-7B10 peanut-style compressors used with select Vintage Air Front Runner (serpentine) and V-belt kits, as well as other applications. Instead of forcing the hoses to cross over, the block repositions the compressor fittings so each line runs in the proper direction. The relocated -8 AN fitting routes forward to the condenser, while the relocated -10 AN fitting routes rearward to the evaporator, eliminating clutter and creating a neater, more professional installation. It’s a small upgrade that can make a big difference in both appearance and fitment.
