Their report showed $321 in parts and $1260 in labor if I did EVERYTHING on their list. Highlights included a bunch of leaks around the transmission, bad points, replace water pump, and other misc. items. They also had a few items regarding "wiring exposed".

Water pump.  I wanted a chrome, high output pump since we were doing it (it had been rattling lately).  The Classic Mustang people had a good price on a plain water pump, but did not seem to want to spend a lot of time looking for special products, so they said I could find parts. The main feature that I found was that in the late /60's Ford 302 water pumps there are ones with the input on the passenger side and others with the input on the driver's side.  I needed passenger side and found a chrome water pump at Summit Racing. I also got a chrome pulley for the water pump from Summit.  Ordered 7/29 Friday, received on Monday. Wow. Fit not verified yet.

Radiator - my report card from Classic Mustang said there were signs of prior leaks on the radiator, and it sure was ugly anyhow, so I decided to go for aluminum, and, again, needed both hoses on the passenger side.

ordered on-line Fri, received Monday evening -- did not fit.  It was way too wide. It seems that I mixed up the WIDTH and HEIGHT numbers.  I re-ordered one that seems to fit (the car is out right now) but the filler is NOT in the center - it is toward the driver's side -- AND it says nothing about fitting a 302 - but does go to a 289 V-8.  Since I have a high output water pump, and this is a two-row aluminum, I will chance it.  NONE of the ones in the width we need seemed to have a center filler neck.
I ordered from the same people - they were cheapest, especially with the $15 coupon code I found on-line. The second radiator was ordered Wed. afternoon and arrived the next afternoon from Los Angeles.  They ARE fast.

I went for a ONE ROW since it was thin and would not create fitting concerns.

Correct one ordered was 0259-2AA Ford Mustang All aluminum Radiator - price in 2011, $137.39 plus shipping, and tax, minus $15 coupon = $138.68
I ended up cutting the shroud over the radiator to make it easier to remove the cap.

I cannot believe that I did not post pictures of this, at least not that I can find, so here are a couple.

Since the cooling system needed to be cleaned and drained anyhow, I figured all cooling items could be replaced at once. 

2 X 10 Stainless radiator overflow was ordered from eBay $29.95 incl postage in 8/2011. Worked fine.

This was ordered Sat. and arrived Tues. by US mail. It seems to fit fine, but is sure shorter that I thought. It is a brushed finish, not chrome look, and quite heavy duty. The ad said only for recessed lip carbs, and I guess that is what I have since it works well. I will get a thicker air filter, cut off the extra long threaded bolt and get a blingy nut for the top. Ebay has all kinds of air cleaner nuts at all price ranges, but I wll get something locally.

The transmission people checked the car and -- yep, lots of leaks, but also "needed a rebuild".  There was metal dust in the transmission pan and I am sure that the pan had not been off in 38 years, so no surprise.  The estimate is $1,100 and some dollars. Also, no surprise, if the slipping and leaking stop.
