The Boss's Corner By Mike Rey MOCSEM President

It has been very nice to unwind after the 50th in Dearborn! We have already held meetings and discussions regarding the 2015 show. I also got to put on the 1st ever show at my new job which turned out super cool and made for a very fun day at work! Looking forward to upcoming meeting at Roush and having Jamie Allison from Ford Racing as our special guest! Then it is on to our appreciation dinner for all of the workers from Mustang Memories. Also already trying to line up some cool events for the 2015 calendar year, and getting a couple new board members rolling already as well! So look for 2015 to be another great year for MOCSEM! See everyone soon! Mike

About the Club The Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan (MOCSEM) was founded in November 1975 by a group of individuals with the desire to protect and preserve the Ford Mustang as one of the most attractive and fun filled cars ever made. We are enthusiasts of all ages with a love affair with the many generations of America’s Premiere Pony Car. Whether it’s a coupe, convertible or fastback from 1964½ to the current model or the 2004 Cobra, we love them all. The mission of club members is to collect, restore, and preserve the history of the Mustang along with the stories of the people and the roles that they played in making this one of the great cars of the 20th Century. Although ownership is not a requirement for membership, your enthusiasm, expertise, and / or love of the automobile are most welcome. Many of our club members own one or more Mustangs in varying body styles, models and years. Club members are always exchanging information, providing sources for parts, literature and helpful hints for restoring or maintaining their Mustangs. Our members are a diverse group of individuals, located throughout Southeastern Michigan and all share a great appreciation for the Ford Mustang. Our general membership meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. Our monthly newsletter, The Accelerator, provides the members with reports on club activities, technical information, advertisements and business service locations and more. Some club activities include car shows, picnics, sporting events, cruise nights and technical sessions.

MOCSEM SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED

AT MUSTANG MEMORIES for 2014

By Richard Teeple-

Our first ever Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern

Michigan Scholarships were given out at Mustang

Memories Show for 2014. The scholarship fund was

created to encourage and reward youth participation in

MOCSEM and the Mustang hobby. The scholarship

provides financial funds to be used for

college/university/trade school training and is available to

MOCSEM members and their immediate family members.

This year’s recipients are Eric Grudnicki and James

Duszkiewicz.

Congratulations!!! Both gentleman received $500.00 from

the scholarship fund towards their education goals and we

wish them continued success.

Thank you members for contributing to this fund. A big

thank you to the scholarship committee members Phylis

Berk, Mark Berk, Norma Brammer, Dawn Davis, and Bill

Davis. If you would like to learn more about the

MOCSEM Scholarship you can visit the MOCSEM

website under scholarship.

Eric receiving his check at Mustang Memories

Thanks from Eric Grudnicki

I am writing to thank the wonderful members of

MOCSEM for their generosity in awarding me the

first ever MOCSEM Scholarship. I am very happy

and appreciative to be awarded your scholarship.

I am a Supply-Chain Management major and plan on

working within the automotive industry upon my

graduation from Grand Valley State University. I am

currently a junior carrying a 15 credit class load each

semester and plan on graduating in the spring of

2016. I hope to secure an internship over the course

of the next year to gain valuable experience in my

field of study.

By awarding me the MOCSEM Scholarship, you

have lightened the financial burden put on my family

and myself. This allows me to focus on my school

work and give my full attention to learning instead of

balancing school with a part time job during the

school year. I am deeply thankful for the generosity

of MOCSEM and its members who make it so much

more than a club for the greatest car in the world.

Sincerely,

Eric Grudnicki



James receiving his check at Mustang Memories

Thank you from James Duszkiewicz

As one of the recipients of the first scholarship that

MOCSEM has awarded, I would like to thank the

members of MOCSEM, the board members , and

especially the scholarship committee, whose decision it

was to grant me this award. I will be using the scholarship

to help pay for my education at the University of

Michigan Dearborn. I am in my 5th year of college and

currently pursuing a business degree. In addition to being

a full time student I also work an average of 34 hours a

week at Tom Holzer Ford in Farmington Hills. I hope to

work with the Mustang in the future and plan on being a

member of this club for years to come. Thank you again.

Sincerely

James Duszkiewicz.

Poppy Red 64 ½! By Sharon and Louie Bastianelli's

Our 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang Convertible is poppy red with

a black interior. It is an automatic with a 289 in3 V8

engine and a four barrel carburetor, no power steering or

brakes but has a power top. All the parts are original and

have matching numbers. The car was made at the

Dearborn Assembly plant in June of 1964 which makes it

true 1964-1/2 model.

We purchased the car 27 years ago from a gentleman in

West Bloomfield, MI. He had purchased the car for his

daughter's high School graduation present. However, his

daughter did not want an old Mustang but wanted a brand

new Mustang. So, he parked the Mustang under a

Weeping Willow tree for three years.

The car was advertised as being in mint condition. We

purchased the car at a reduced price due to the car not

being in perfect condition as advertised. We drove it home

to Sterling Heights, pulled up in the drive way and the car

just died. So the next day we had the car towed to a garage

thinking we had purchased a lemon. We asked the garage

to have the car checked out from top to bottom and call us

back with the results. The garage called and advised us

that they had checked out the entire car and only thing

wrong was that it had the wrong spark plugs and wires and

needed a tune up. We sure were glad to hear that news.

The car has been shown at many car shows such as Eyes

on Design, Willistead Classic and Concours d'Elegance

and won awards at all three.



We have a lot of fun with the car whether we are driving it

around town or in parades. We were in the Berkley Cruise

parade this Dream Cruise weekend and had the privilege

of Glenda Lewis from channel 7 being the special guest of

the cruise.

Mt. Rushmore Trip 2013 By Dennis Hamilton

In 2012, when we drove our 1969 Mustang CJ to

California and back, there wasn’t time in our 3 week

schedule to include visits with three of my cousins who

are scattered around Montana and Colorado. So in 2013

we thought it would be cool to go to Mt. Rushmore, get a

photo of the car with the monument in the background,

then make the rounds to see my cousins. On the way back

we would stop in Parker CO for a week-long visit with our

daughter and our grandboys. This trip would be a 2-week

deal, leaving Wixom on Labor Day.

The front of the car was just too low last year due to the 2”

dropped spindles I had installed. Early this Spring, I

replaced those spindles with modified Granada units

which are nearly identical to the stock Mustang pieces and

provide stock road clearance. I didn’t go back to stock

Mustang because I prefer the disk brake design on the

Granada, and the Granada wheel bearings are bigger.

Also, the dropped spindles used Granada brakes and I had

had to redo the brake line fittings to be able to use them.

There was no point in redoing that job to go back to the

stock setup.

We loaded the car with the same inventory of spares as

last year, but this time I brought the spare rebuilt starter

just in case. The problems we had in 2012 could have

been fixed if we had taken the starter. But first, of course,

I would have had to figure out that the starter was the

cause of the various symptoms the car presented. Live

and learn.

Off we went about 9 AM Labor Day morning. Getting

around the south and west sides of Chicago was bad, as

always, with lots of backups for construction. Lucky for

us we weren’t trying to get through Chicago from the

north that afternoon! Those poor folks were backed up

clear to Madison WI. The car ran fine and gave no

problems at all. Oh! Except for my gas pedal foot getting

cooked against the tunnel. I switched from soft sided

‘sports’ shoes to leather and solved that problem.

The next day, in South Dakota right after we crossed the

Missouri River, we ran into a real monsoon of a rain

storm. I had the headlights on, flashers blazing, wipers

wailing, and even slowed down to about 50 to keep it

between the lines. After clearing that storm it was cool

and nice for a while, but it soon changed to hot and humid.

We stayed in Keystone SD that night, very close to Mt.

Rushmore.

The following morning we headed up the hill to the

monument. The first opportunity for a photo, in a parking

lane on the side of the road, turned out to be the best one.

Then, as we drove up to the entrance gates, I could see

that I could get a side-on shot there with the monument in

the background. I made a U-ey to get the shot and a

Ranger in a toll booth went ballistic and came down the

road yelling and waving his arms. About then I noticed

that I was now the wrong way in a one way drive, but

there was no traffic and no reason not to continue that I

could see. The Ranger came on down and I explained

what I was trying to do and he explained that I couldn’t do

that.

Turns out that back in the day Ranger Mike had a 327 CID

’68 Chevelle with a 4-speed and American mags, and he

liked our Mustang. He explained that if I would just

continue on into the parking area and go up to Level 6 I

could get exactly the photo I wanted. So I did and we

were both happy, BFF.



We did the sightseeing thing and bought the shirt, hat,

autographed book, coffee mug, Christmas ornament, and

key chain. Actually, I skipped the hat.

We loaded Miles City MT into the GPS and headed out on

our first major leg of non-interstate cruising. At 15 MPG

with the 20 gallon tank we should be able to go 300 miles

and maybe just make it to Miles City on a tank. But I like

to fill up at around a quarter tank or 225 miles, whichever

comes first. So, we’re on this 2-lane in the middle of

nowhere and I’m watching the fuel gage and the odometer

and the distance left to Miles City and decide we need to

find some gas.

There’s a little dot on the map called Hammond and I

thought we’d stop there. Hammond is a ghost town. No

gas station. If people live there, they hide when cars go

by. The next dot is Boyes. It did have one building that

seemed to be in use, but there was no gas station. I was

beginning to worry, but we found civilization again in

Broadus. They have 3 stations that sell 3 grades of gas!

Leaving the gas station I noticed that the voltmeter didn’t

kick off baseline, meaning the battery wasn’t being

charged. I pulled over, got out, popped the hood, wiggled

the wiring connector at the regulator, and Diane called out

that now the thing was charging. Bullet dodged. With

practically no cell phone service and so few cars on the

road, I really didn’t want to run out of battery (or gas).

One of the pieces of the ‘security system’ on our Mustang

is a fuel cut-off valve. I don’t use it much, but I decided

to turn it off when I locked things up at the motel in Miles

City. A few people have spotted the valve at shows and

asked what it’s for, and then ask ‘how far will it go on

what’s in the carb?’ I didn’t know the answer to that until

the next morning when I forgot to turn it back on. The

thing won’t even start! But it acts like it’s flooded just to

make it harder for me to recall what I hadn’t done. Before

I remembered the valve I did find that the coil wire needed

to be pushed home in the coil. That didn’t help, of course.

When I finally turned the valve on, it took considerable

cranking to pump enough fuel back into the carburetor to

get it running.

The next leg, up to Great Falls, was also on non-interstates

so I asked and was told to stop in Lewistown for gas and

all would be fine. It was.

The problem with the wiring connector to the regulator

started happening more and more frequently (like after

every stop), but it always responded to the wiggle trick.

On the way to Ogden UT the alternator idiot light started

flickering so we stopped and I wedged a thick piece of

folded cardboard between the fender apron and the

connector. No more problem with that, but I’ll have to do

something better over the winter.

It rained almost all the time we were in Parker CO. The

big news that week was the awful flooding up toward

Boulder. For us, several times we missed hail storms by a

day, and one by only a few hours. We were lucky.

On the way home, on the east edge of Colorado on I-70, a

caravan of 4 Corvettes passed us by. One was a mid-80s

and the rest were more recent. They were all stopped at

the next rest stop when we pulled in and the guys came

over to look and ask about the Mustang. They were on

their way from the Denver area to somewhere near

Chicago for a big Corvette shindig. When I finally made

it to the restroom a trucker complimented our car and said

it must be satisfying to have Corvette guys admire it. It

was!

About 100 miles from home at 11 PM on a Sunday

evening we made our last gas stop. It ran rough when I

restarted it. Back on the interstate the engine started tick-

tick-tick’n but it would come and go. I had noticed earlier

that the water temp gage was barely registering, but I

think that’s unrelated. Then I noticed that the oil pressure

had dropped 10 PSI. No biggie. Probably a lifter is going

bad, I thought. I knew that it uses about a quart of oil in

2000 miles, so I had topped it off before we left Parker. It

shouldn’t have been even a quart low at the end of the trip,

so I didn’t worry about it.

We forged on and when we turned onto the surface street a

few miles from home the oil pressure idiot light flashed at

me. I stopped and added a quart of oil and continued

home. After unloading I checked the dip stick and it

registered more than 2 quarts low. A few days later a

spark plug check revealed #8 is in trouble – the plug was

completely fouled. Maybe broken rings?

That’s the bad news. The good news is that it waited until

we were nearly home to go bad. I had planned to take the

engine out over the winter anyway to fix one of the

exhaust headers and redo part of the exhaust system, so

now I’ll be figuring out what to do about the engine

problems as well!

It was a great trip and a great adventure! Where should

we go next year?



Post Script (September 2014)

The cause of the massive oil consumption was intake

manifold gasket failure. I’m using a PI aluminum intake

and the story goes that back in the day Ford had a big

problem with intake gasket failure on this manifold. The

fix was to use some kind of glue on the gaskets that was

so good most of the manifolds were damaged when people

tried to get them off the engines.

I had the short block and heads gone through by a pro and

there was zero damage caused by running it low on oil.

So it got new rings and bearings and put back together. I

put a hydraulic roller lifter Crane cam in it with Comp

Cams aluminum roller lifters to take it a step up the

performance scale.

Detailing Tips And Secrets By John Long

Putting the Ponies Back in The Stable By John Long

I hope everyone had a great summer! We got to do a lot of

events for the 50th Anniversary and once in a lifetime

opportunities. As our cruising season winds down, it’s

time to start thinking about storing our pride and joys till

next season. I’d like to offer some insight to properly

storing our cars so we don’t run into problems when it’s

time to unleash our ponies.

Go through basic maintenance, such as fluid checks and

changes. I start by changing engine oil. Engine oil gets

contaminated with use, creating an acidic condition that

leads to corrosion. Always include a new oil filter. Check

engine coolant level and color (when cool). If it looks

darker than the normal bright color it should be, use a

coolant tester, (looks like a turkey baster) to check for

protection level. Get it flushed and changed if needed.

Brake fluid can absorb moisture and should be changed 18

to 24 months under normal summer driving, sooner if you

drive somewhat more aggressive. Check the color, and

pedal firmness. Make sure the brakes are bled if fluid

needs changing. Also check power steering fluid for

proper level.

Some members like to start the engine during the off

season to keep rotating parts lubricated. If you do, be sure

to let it run till it gets to operating temperature to get rid of

condensation. Also run the air conditioning at this time to

circulate a/c oil to help lube the system. While under the

hood check the condition of belts and hoses for wear,

cracks, leaks and tightness, (engine off, of course).

Wrap air cleaners or open filter elements in plastic bags to

prevent rodents or insects living inside the housing. Just

before your ready to store, add a fuel stabilizer and fill the

tank. I add Sta-bil before I fill, and drive a little to ensure

circulation through all fuel components.

Prepare the floor if you don’t have floor covering already

where the car will sit. Moisture tends to wick up through

concrete floors. Placing a vapor barrier such as a tarp

down will help block moisture. If you’re keeping the tires

on the car, make sure it’s wide enough for the tires to sit

on.

As for tires, I’ve stored them on and off. If you keep them

on, overinflate several pounds to prevent flat spots. The

max psi on my tires is 44psi, I inflate to about 50psi. It’s

recommended to disengage the emergency brake to

prevent sticking, so use wheel chocks to secure the

vehicle. If you store tires off the car, stack on 2x4 wood

studs and cover to prevent exposure, garbage bags work

well for this. Always support the car with jack stands

(safety announcement).

On to the battery. Check and clean cable ends and battery

terminals. I use baking soda and water mixed 50/50 and

brush on to clean. Always keep the battery charged using a

trickle charger/maintainer. Newer sealed batteries can be

removed from the car to trickle charge, but remember,

with a computerized engine management system, you

won’t lose the program, but the computer will have to

relearn the program as you drive your car when you bring

it out again. Older lead acid should also be cleaned and

filled with distilled water before charging/maintaining.



Always make sure the battery has adequate ventilation and

not exposed to extreme heat, sparks or flame.

Convertible tops should always be kept up for storage to

prevent creases and wrinkles from forming. A top that is

kept lowered for a long period tends to shrink, making it

hard to latch when you put it up. It’s also easier on plastic

windows that should be cleaned prior to storage.

Give your ride one last coat of wax for protection on an

Indian summer day after cleaning the paint.

One old trick is putting mothballs around the interior to

prevent critters, I just close all the vents and windows.

Cover the tailpipe, or stuff steel wool or a ball of

aluminum in tailpipe for rodents, if you’re not running the

engine.

Last item is a good breathable car cover. Don’t use plastic

as it will trap moisture and cause mildew and corrosion. If

you want, place desiccant bags in and around the vehicle

to absorb moisture. Better car covers include a cocoon

type that totally seals the car.

Make a checklist of items that you have done prior to

storing your car and keep it on the dash, so before you

turn the key, go through this checklist to make sure

nothing has been missed before you unleash your horses

for Spring!
