    AUTOMATIC to MANUAL Conversion parts list

    I did this same thing based on the advice of others. Then once I was half way through it, I realized that the roller bearing becomes useless. Nothing ends up rolling on the roller bearing. The kit just acts as an overpriced and complicated spacer.

    AUTOMATIC to MANUAL Conversion parts list

    I used an external slave cylinder. I can't speak for which internal slave cylinder you're looking at. But in your picture of the engine and transmission sitting on the pallet, there's a big square hole in the side of the bellhousing with what looks like the fork sticking out. With an internal...

    AUTOMATIC to MANUAL Conversion parts list

    I have the malwood hydraulic setup. Between z-bar, cable, and hydraulic, the hydraulic is definitely the nicest feeling. Z-bar was 1970s tech, cable was 1980s tech, and hydraulic is what is on most production cars. Only reason I didn't suggest it earlier is because you said you wanted to stay...

    First 70s fastback

    Photo shows 351 2V. Everything looks pretty much bone stock, or replaced with OEM style parts. Probably rocking a whole 150HP. I'm I'm seeing that odometer correctly, it starts with a 03?

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    Yep. If you dont have the vacuum hookup to a properly working transmission, you can still drop it into gear and drive around. It wont shift on its own, but you can put the selector into different gears and the transmission will try to move the car in R, D, 2, and 1.

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    Yeah. Top pic is my cleveland with a stack of washers for the spacer. Bottom pic is the windsor. I painted the washers on that one black so they're harder to see.

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    If you tighten the 2 bolts holding the PS bracket to the water pump, then I believe you should have a large gap between the bracket and the driver's side head. That gap is large enough for the power steering pump and a spacer. On an AC car, the AC bracket acts as a spacer. Without the AC...

    Are you going with OEM style install or aftermarket/restomod? You will need a jumper or to somehow bypass the neutral safety switch. Wire reverse lights up to transmission. Not sure about your 72. There may be a lockout rod that connects the transmission to the steering column. It allows the...

    Parts Wanted Looking For 71-73 Mustang Avocado Green Interior Parts

    Any hints as to what the "I/C" components are? I have different plastic, vinyl, and metal avocado parts. After sun fading, there's a million different shades of green. Some areas of some of the parts were protected from the sunlight, and I guess would be closer to the original color. For...

    Parts Wanted Looking For 71-73 Mustang Avocado Green Interior Parts

    It was in the cougars, too. They had like 8 different interior color codes in various body styles (15 combinations) for different avocado interiors. I got my avocado console from west coast cougars from one of their cougars.

    Lower Control Arm Eccentric Eliminator Kit - DIY?

    I've got a mill in my garage. It wouldn't be hard to make a set on that, just a bit time consuming. @Steve McMahan says he would want a set of the slotted ones. The set @rcadd1ct linked to is 4 sets of 4. 16 machined plates and all the hardware. Somebody would have to be a real good friend...

    Which Rear Axle Bearings and Seals?

    I asked the same question not too long ago. Here's a link to the answer I got. https://7173mustangs.com/threads/off-the-shelf-3rd-member-that-drops-into-our-cars.43113/page-2#post-432669 And the paper flange gaskets...

    Waking up a 6

    The 6cyl takes so long to rev, you could get away with using a chalk board to write down how fast you thought the engine was running. I had a 1972 250 6cyl. If you had a tach on that one, it could spend its whole life and never need the top 75% of the tach.

    Lower Control Arm Eccentric Eliminator Kit - DIY?

    I would say a certain amount of precision is required. Otherwise you could end up with the holes in different spots on the left and right side. Then your wheels would stick out different amounts from the center of the car, or you would end up with different length control arms to compensate...

    Hello my name GERMY from Texas, do you love my 1972 Mustang Fastback 351W ?

    Your VIN will tell you if its a mach1 or just a fastback. VIN on the dash, driver side apron under the fender, and buck tag.
