Hey, great video. Very helpful for beginners like me. I recently bought my first Mustang ever, a 1964 1/2 conv, code D. A guy in Oregon has been helping me considerably identifying all the unique traits of the 64 1/2. I don't know if it makes the car any more valuable, just interesting. Mine is 166900 there abouts. It has the 68 power steering pump and bracket. The steering rack underneath is also date coded wrong, later in the year. So obviously power steering was added. I'm getting all the factory correct parts with correct date codes. The original Autolite 4100 is even there with the original tag. However the engine ID tag is missing and the engine is about 15 days younger than the car and a month younger than the intake manifold so its probably been changed. Who knows. Its a 95% rust free car that is unadulterated by those that want to build a race car or whatever. Other than the power steering it is completely stock and complete. Thats the way I like it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your comment. A dated car with VIN 166900 is definitively a piece of history back from 1964. Most important is having fun with it and even more essential when the car has little to no rust. In my opinion, that means even more originality than if some technical improvements were made. Congrats!
Absolutely! The easiest way to identify is THE ENGINE itself: U-Code (6 cyl) F-Code (8 cyl/2V) D-Code (8 cyl/4V) … are 100% 1964 1/2 engines and produced until July 1964 only.
@@1964FordMustang Sweet so my 64.5 is a D code but it doesn't have everything that a 64.5 should have. So what I've read things gradually changed in the Mustang for the 64.5 run. For instance some 64.5s did come with alternators. Is this right?
That’s most probably right for some of the July produced models but not at all a deficiency. Alternators are anyway way better and more efficient than these generators and therefore very often changed. To be sure check maybe the range of these Vin-Numbers as shown in the video. And most important, have fun with your early Mustang whether 1964 1/2, 1965 or 66. All of them are first generation Mustangs and today icons.
Hi, my Mustang has the wrong power steering parts and I purchased the correct parts, eaton pump with correct brackets. However, the crank pulley on the engine is incorrect and in your video here at 3:18 you show the correct pulley for a 64 1/2 Mustang with the Eaton power steering pump and no air. This is obviously a very rare pulley unique to the 64 1/2 car with an Eaton power steering pump and no air. I cant even fine a photo of it on the web and nothing on eBay. Clearly the pulley on your car is a double sheave (two belt groves) that are at least 1" apart. Do you know where I can get my paws on one of these pulleys? If not, any idea where I might find one? Thank you in advance for your help and very informative video.
I would be very happy to help you but your question is very specific and honestly and unfortunately, I have to admit that I am not as deep within the parts of the power steering. Guess you are from the US (?), the Mustang country par excellence 😉I would further search in ebay. What I personally know is a workshop in Texas. Michael and Tyler take care to originality and are super honest. Quality Classics is a father & son business and located in Dallas / Fort Worth. You can find it on the Web, they also have a UA-cam channel. I personally live in Switzerland. Best Mustang professional here is a workshop near Zurich, where I bring my Mustang. The name is SMC - Swiss Mustang Collection and they have very special parts in stock. If you can tell me the exact name of the part I can ask them. Best regards and good luck.
Hi, thank you for your response. I didn't know you were in Switzerland. There is a woman with a black 1959 Thunderbird that has a UA-cam channel about her car and she is from Switzerland too. In the mean time, I did find the pulley from a shop in Los Angeles California called Mustangs Etc. I know them so I called them and they have the part. I should get it in a few days. Your videos are very informative and helpful, thank you very much.

Thanks for the VIN number range at 2:30 - great and helpfully

So i have seen that all D codes are 64.5s. Thoughts?

U-Code (6 cyl)
F-Code (8 cyl/2V)
D-Code (8 cyl/4V)
