I had the same problem withnthe mass backed. I would not recommend it either.

I used NPD's weatherstripping on a convertible. It has remained soft and flexible for 8 years so far. It seems to be a good product. Just make the seam near the center at the back of the car.

Welcome from a southern suburb, Allen Park. Nice cars!

I miss the wagons. Lots of memories riding in the "back-back" seat.

I didn't change my springs, but changed the shackles, u-bolts, and bushings. Those changes raised the back of the car about 1/2", which was noticeable at the wheel arch. My rear spring bushings were totally shot.

Here is mine. It is pretty much stock with 2 exceptions. No bumper guards and a dealer installed AM/FM radio.

I just had my mounts replaced and they used 72 mounts. I was told the same thing, 73 mounts are not made.

Michigan winters here. I do the oil change, full tank of fuel with Stabil, I over inflate the tires to around 40 psi, pull the battery and put it on a tender. I put the car cover on then put it in a zippered bag with some dessicant cans inside. I use a Car Jacket brand bag. The car comes out...

I would try to open the 73 with a small screwdriver. A previous owner could have removed the tumblers. I had a buddy who did that to his ignition.

I was lucky I guess. I only waited a month to get mine in the shop. Front suspension, rear spring bushings, water pump, carb rebuild, and a power steering leak. I can't wait to get the bill.

I just replaced my tires also. When I went to the shop and they checked, I had tires from 25 to over 30 years old, and they still looked great. I was driving it on the freeway, too. I don't even want to think about blowing a tire at 65 or 70 mph in that car. I felt so much better having new...

Your print shows a second circuit breaker integral with the pump motor. I think that is an overtemp switch. It doesnt sound like the top was running long enough to get the motor hot enough to trip that switch, but it would be good to feel the motor to see if it is getting hot.

I heard this tip years ago: "To identify the amount of wear in a timing chain, begin by removing all of the spark plugs and the distributor cap. With a wrench on the harmonic balancer bolt, turn the crankshaft at least two complete revolutions backward of rotation to remove any slack from the...

I believe that wire is for the solenoid operated seat back latch release when you open the door.
