Well thought I would update you guys. I top off the diff fluid. I was able to put in about 5 oz in there. I checked some of the things you guys suggested and the tranny mount could be replaced. It definitely has seen better days. I also realized something. When I drive it at a cruising speed of...

This might be a little hard since they're staggered but maybe I can try a different set of wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I think you're right. Not my car btw. Found the car online lol. But she is nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How about using the reverse lights from a 69 Mach 1. 

Thanks for the starting points guys I'll check that stuff out. The lugs are 60* acorn style which seemingly centered the wheel fairly well. I was just thinking it might be off by a fraction of an inch. The vibration happens going over 40 mph whether it's under load or not. It's fairly constant...

So I've been driving my 72 around after it sat for 10 years and I hear/feel this vibration coming from the rear floor area at speed. A bit of background on the car, the tires and wheels are new that were in storage for about a year before I put them on the car. I had the car aligned and she...

Wow that looks great! Looking forward to seeing the taillights. I've fiddled with a home made vacuum box and I wish I had more projects to put it to use.

Those were really good read. I think I'm going to try full manifold vacuum and see if the engine likes it. Thanks for the links.

Cool Hand Luke is delicious. Unfortunately I didn't get to go up there. My gf and I took her kids to the snow. I'll be going to the Selma swap meet for sure though. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip. The wheels and tires are new though. I got them last year and had them in storage. I guess it doesn't hurt to get the balance checked again. I'm hoping it's not the drive shaft or rear end. Anyone have experience with that being bad as far as symptoms?

Hey guys I was searching and couldn't find anything on custom fan shrouds. I got a new radiator I'm getting ready to drop in with a pair of 12" fans. I was thinking about fabricating an aluminum shroud but then I had the idea of using plexiglass with an aluminum frame. Who has a custom shroud...

Drove my 72 coupe 20 miles for the first time in 10 years. Ran good but would stall when coming to a stop. Adjusted the floats and then she ran pretty good. I noticed a wobble at speed coming from the rear. Not sure what it could be though. Ironing out the kinks is gonna take some time. Sent...

Well since no one else has chimed in I'll tell you what I would do if I was going the same route you are. I would start by cutting the front springs (I know it's not recommended) maybe 1/2 a coil. I believe the springs that are offered only drop the car 1". To lower the rear you would need...

Thanks guys. I just got back from the dmv to get her back on the road. Spent Sunday tuning the carb and cleaning the distributor. I'm not a fan of the dizzy. To be honest I'm not even sure what it is. I just know it's vacuum advance and the springs inside are mismatched lol. The PO seemingly...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm from central California btw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
