My car still boasts the original paint and interior it's full numbers matching I'm stumped on this emissions system any pictures or input would be much appreciated thank you
Whats the seat back release? What kind of problems did they have? Mine is an early 1971 so i am curious.egr was not on 71 and 72 cars.
Thermactor is what ford called the smog pump, but this was what NOX meant for 1971 mustang
"NOX kit" for $50.
The kit consisted of 2 rubber plugs to remove the vacuum advance line and 2 stickers.
One sticker had to be placed in the engine bay and the other on the dash.
Without the stickers permanently attached, they wouldn't SMOG the car.
that in a nut shell is what NOX was.
this retarded timing and reduced NOX at idle for smog emissions test passing. it was because the car came with a 351 V4.
cool car with options btw
this is a good one also
Delete Automatic Seat Back Release
Ford had major issues with the seat back release system and they pulled them from the production line, so the early 71 cars have them and later ones don't, the release system came back in 73 i guess after they worked out the bugs.
When you open the door the seat back release had a solenoid so that you didn't have to manually pull the release to push the seat back forward to get in the back seat. I don't know of any issues with it, just additional cost for the option.Whats the seat back release? What kind of problems did they have?

Back in 73 or 74 when I first registered my stang in Calif. they required that it had NOX system installed. It looked like a coil with one wire , attached to the + side of the coil and two vacuum tubes coming out of it. One went to the carb and the other to the distributor. It retarded the vacuum advance.egr was not on 71 and 72 cars.

As it was electro-mechanical in operation within the high back area of the bucket seats, it would jam a lot, making it difficult for the seat to automatically release as was the intent.When you open the door the seat back release had a solenoid so that you didn't have to manually pull the release to push the seat back forward to get in the back seat.

You should be ok with your fuel tank since all 71-73 Mustangs used the same tank. The 71-3 Mustangs utilized a charcoal canister that captured fuel vapors from the tank and stored them until engine start up, so no need for a "California" tank. There should be a Ford blue canister about half the size of a large can of coffee near the rear of the right shock tower. On the top of the canister would be a vent cap, a corrugated hose to the air cleaner and a rubber hose leading to a metal line that ran to the fuel tank.(If yours is there). If yours is missing you could always contact Don @ Ohio Mustang Supply (Forum Member and Vender) who could probably help acquire what you need.
The blue canister is there behind the passenger shock tower so thats good, there's also a bracket just above the passenger side exhaust manifold that looks like it held some sort of canister most likely for emissions of course at some point in time but it is now missing. Thank you I will get in touch with Ohio Mustang supply and see what they have I appreciate it guys thanks again!
