This unit works really well. I bought it about 6 years ago tho and the vendor I have listed doesn't sell them anymore. If you google it I think you can find it. I also know a guy that ordered 50 for a group buy on another board and may have one left. They run about 55 bucks

The Gano is tough to clean, but work well. Mustangs plus has them for $37.

I ran a Gano filter a few years back. Didn't like the results. The results being aireation of the coolant and a resultant increase in coolant temp from 180 to 205. When you put a light behind the filter the coolant looked like foam. I run a 3-row radiator with a S/S Flex-a-Lite 10,000 rpm fan, no a/c, 5-speed, power brakes. When I removed the filter the temps dropped back to 180 and as an experiment I allowed the car to sit at idle for 90 minutes without the temp increasing beyond 190.
Others on here have said the same thing about the temps and for some reason they don't mind driving around at 205 in a car with a 180 thermostat....I do.
I will say that if you have concerns about rust in your engines cooing system it may be alright to run one for a short period of time to trap the junk. I just wouldn't recomend it as a permanent item.

There is a USA source for Tefba filters here http://www.fasterjags.com/Tefba.html

It is a Jaguar site but the filters will work just as well on Mustangs.
