I have a 73 Mach1 that was originally a 351c 2v/FMX/2.73 open diff. Currently a 460/C6/3.73 locker. It still has the stock shifter in it as I have never wanted to cut up the console. However, I am now ready to start tracking the car and would like to install a ratchet shifter or similar, but...

I meant to post this up awhile back. Called ATI and asked about this, got what I consider a half ass answer. I asked about the babbit bushing and was told that the stock bushing could damage the converter hub. I asked if this could cause converter failure (roll eyes) and was told yes...it...

Thanks for all of the feedback! I have owned this car since 1995 and am excited to get it to the track this spring!?

I feel like such an idiot... face palm a million times over.... Operator error... car was in reverse!

My 73 Mach won’t crank. Back ground info. Solenoid went bad, I... like a knuckle head misdiagnosed it as a bad ignition switch. Replace the ignition itch and it won’t start (1 week ago). Head down to oreillys and get a solenoid. Put it in, car starts,  but it constant 12 volts at I terminal ...

Yes, all connections are correct. Thanks for the feedback!??

I think that I answered my own question. The image below gives a good example of the wires functions and it appears that I tapped into whatever circuit feeds the coil power. Sounds to me like the solenoid is jacked... what’s your thoughts?

My solenoid crapped out on me, so I went and got a new one from orellys. Upon installation the last wire I connected was the yellow 90 degree connection as seen on the right below (not my car... I wish!). Anyway, when I connected that wire, my aftermarket solenoids for my electric fan and fuel...

Hello, I just placed a new monster transmission in my 73 big block Mach. I used an ATI converter that I bought years ago, but set on my shelf awaiting its need. Anyway, I pull the tranny look at the instructions for the ATI converter and it notes that the bronze front pump bushing must be...

Hello all. I have a 73 Mach that I have transplanted a Ford Racing 460 crate engine into. It has a decent sized aluminum radiator with a nice 16" Zirgo fan. As long as I am rolling down the freeway all is well. However, once I come to a stop the temperature starts to creep up. I am interested in...

Kilgon... I owe you big time! My headers look like new after using your fix. I had to use a 1” to 3/4” reducer as the one you described is almost 2.2” across... probably just differences in manufacturing. Anyway... again thank you so much1 saved me A LOT of money!!!

I will. Without going into great detail, my current headers are pretty smashed on the front 2 pipes. I need new ones. Hate to spend that much coin, but at least I won’t smash the front pipes again.

I contacted them today...$775 uncoated. An extra $250 for coating. Glad to hear the dimple is small. I too have aftermarket mounts.

Thanks for the feedback! How much massaging was needed? Are they good quality? Do you remeber the cost... I don’t see a price on thier website. In the pic below, see the big gap between the front 2 and rear 2 pipes on each side... that’s where they wrap around and go under the K member

Hi all. I am in the process of getting my 73 Mach 1 with swapped 460 back on the road. Currently have a pair of long tubes that wrap under the cross member but they have seen better days. I did some searching and see that there is a company called FPA (ford powertrain applications) that make a...
