" From: "Savage, Pete" <PSavage@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " In 1967 the feds passed an automobile safety act that mandated lots of " new options to the cars of those days including, but not limited to: " side marker lights, collapsible steering columns, dual piston master " brake cylinders, seat belts, etc... also 4-way flashers. but 3-point seat belts weren't -required- until '68 - maybe 1/1/68, like the reinforcements - though many '67s had them as options, and i'm told -all- '67 mustangs had the hardpoints under the headliner whether the belts were ordered or not. there was also some embryonic smog law that cut in on 1/1/68 - lincoln continentals changed engine mid-year from the lincoln-only 462 to the shared 460. a shame, as the 462 was made of better materials to much closer tolerances, and 250000 miles without overhaul is not unknown - much like the 4.0. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
