Hi, no problem ! I found a video in the YouTube and followed it. Now I have the new lock cylinder in place.

Hi 71coop ! Good news! I did what you suggested and it worked! The lever down there must have moved a bit during the steering gear maneuver. It was "at 10 o'clock position and I moved it by hand to "12" and after that the key in the lock cylinder was able to be removed. Thank you so much for...

Thank you- I will try that. Any advise of the lock cylinder change ?

Thank you! I have to try that. Any idea of the lock cylinder change?

Hi guys ! I have a 71 Mach 1 with manual gearbox and no tilt steering column. The steering gear (Saginaw) was just rebuilt. So far I have no issues with the steering lock and key but now I have. During the steering gear rebuild the starting key was in place ( to enable to turn the wheels...

after the  winter hibernation  I noticed that : 1. RH  front  turn signal does not lit up - all other lights are working 2. took the 4 amp  fuse ( dashboard lights etc.) away and  the  front RH  turn signal started to work but now the  front LH turn signal stopped working.3. put the fuse back -...

Hi Otto, I am still in the process of considering the swap.... Do you have the code / type number of your TKO 600 ? Any photos to show off the installation ? How much clearance didi you get between the tranny and the tunnel ? We had last week a chance to try a TKO 3550 ( 600 ?) in place...

71coop,  thank you of your kind words - I really would not like to change the cam due to the  work involved...I really have to dig into the ignition timing as have been suggested already.... At the end of Sept the car is  going to a dyno test and I will ask to do something for the ignition...

Sorry - here you are !

HI there,  well....I started now to  get up the idling revs from 700 to 1000 rpm. Actually it smoothens the running  at the idle speed which is ca 10 mph now. I noticed that the gears changed well except the reverse. It was impossible to  engage it when motor was running.It reminded me  of an...

Hi Jason, I checked the  lift of the  Comps cam and it is  .667/.664 Maybe  I want to choose the  smaller diameter tyre from Nitto to  get close  to the 26" original size.Also a higher idle cloys to 1000 rpm might help - as I have understood...now the idle is ca 700 rpm. Clutch is  McLeod RST...

Hi Chuck, thanks. The carb is Prosystems 4150 type  1050 cfm thing.Distributor is MSD.At the moment the  vacuum advance is not in use.

Sorry Don, I lost the point - which set up are you referring to  with this " half speed from now " ?

Good comment ! The main concern  in my driving is standing in a queue with that car - not that much  a parking lot but the behavior is the same. This car certainly not is an everyday car -  and never meant either  - because of that but the original idea was to go for a strip and the  engine...

Hi Don, the tires at the back are Nitto 555 275/60-15. Car has adjustable traction bars and shocks at the rear By the way the flywheel is  Aluminium McLeod and the clutch is McLeod  twin disc RST. it just occurred to me  that in case I change the cam to a milder one and the car stops...
