This may be a long shot but looking for anything that might lead me in the right direction. All of a sudden when I took my 71 Mach1 with 351W 4bbl out for a drive. Drove a couple of miles and all of it sudden started squealing at around 20 25 mph and just got louder as I went faster. It stops...

Thank you I will try with just pulling with my left hand.

Thanks. I just bought a rebuilt at Autozone, Duralast 65 amp. Not the best but lifetime warranty. Looks like fairly straightforward removal and replacement other than how to put tension on the belt after installing the new alternator. I can’t see anywhere I can find to get any leverage with a...

My alternator went out on my 71 Mustang Mach 1. The engine is currently a 351 Windsor 4 bbl carb. Originally came out of the plant with a 302 2 bbl with AC. I bought it with the 351 and it had a 2 bbl with adapter. I had the adapter removed and got a 4 bbl from Summit racing. The alternator on...

Good idea, I made mine first because my old one was so bad thought it would Tear apart and I would not have any gasket. I should make another one to see if I can make a better one.

Neoprene is a polymer that provides moderate oil & gasoline resistance, very good resistance to ozone & sunlight, excellent adhesion to fabric...

I posted this before asking for help. I received a lot of good advice. I even replied to one yesterday but don’t really know how the replies work. I decided to make my own. I found 3/32” thick neoprene 12” x 12” sheet on Amazon for less than $5. My existing gasket measured 3/32” using a...

I decided to make my own. I found 3/32” thick neoprene 12” x 12” sheet on Amazon for less than $5. My existing gasket measured 3/32” using a multimeter. Found that the diameter of a can of soup is just slightly larger than 2.5”. I marked it on the sheet of rubber and cut it using a exacto...

Thank you so just a little larger than 1/16”
