    Need a new voltage regulator, any recommendations on brands ?

    How about something for 351C with A/C? All I see are those without A/C

    Fuses whoops, I meant to say the round drum flasher unit - one for the signals and other for the emergency flashers. I figured it out, thanks, the info was helpful.

    Hi Geoff, Those look like the replacement fuse relays - I replaced each, the turn signal fuse and the emerg flasher fuse. So are you saying you added two more with the extender wires to each tail light - using 4, two behind the dahs and one each at the tail lights?

    Hello, I just installed LED Tail lights, Back-up lights and front turn signals. I had already switched the side markers and headlights to LED and will soon replace the dash lights. HOWEVER, I have the same problem - the parking lights and tail lights function but I have no emergency flashers and...

    Spark Plug Gap

    Thanks for the info. As for the Jacobs unit - I never fully utilized at. Plus here in Czech Republic they are quite strict about Veteran Autos (Historical Vehicles) and they always mess with me about it. Actually, I am a headhunter / Recruiter and back in the mid-90s I did a search for Jacobs...

    Spark Plug Gap

    I had an old Jacobs Electronics unit I installed in 1999 - Remember, car was stored 23 years until it arrived here in Europe, last December - and it runs great BTW. Back then, it was a good unit. But obsolete so I am removing it. I have a Mallory Unilte and it performs well. The Jacobs unit has...

    Spark Plug Gap

    I am going to replace my Autolite 24 spark Plugs (351C). They have only about 1,000 miles of use but the car sat in storage for 23 years but for occasional start-ups to keep the cobwebs out of it. I also purchased new plug wires (same reason) and a Pertronix Flame Thrower (40,000 volt) coil. The...

    HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THIS?!

    It looks good at first glance but for the wrong taillight panel, ridiculous chrome Mustang emblems on the fenders just to begin with. Then, as you look deeper it needs a lot to actually look right even if you were to accept that it is a Dr. Frankenstein bolt-up. It has the dual cutouts for the...

    I just installed yet another set of front seat belts.

    I got my 3-point front set from seatbeltplanet.com. So far so good. I also previously bought a set of retractable (lap belt only) off Amazon and I never even got them installed they were locked up from the get-go when I unwrapped them. I freed them and they kept on locking up. They were plainly...

    Radiator Overflow Tank

    I added the overflow tank. It was quite easy and I found what I think is a good sized, small tank with a bracket already attached. I got a angled piece of metal, cut, bent & drilled it which was the most laborious part. I used a threaded hole already present. It functions well. Here is the step...

    Divorce sale

    Sorry to hear about the divorce ... more sorry and condolences to you for having to let go of your good stuff. I was lucky, mine outlasted two-ex's and survived two divorces. Now my motto is, "try not to piss off your 3rd wife too much", she's more clever than the previous two.

    Lower Cowl Repair Question

    I need some guidance please. When my 71 Mach1 was repainted, I had a bad passenger side lower cowl vent. In 1998 nobody (I was aware of) made a cowl replacement panel like they do now. So the body guy cut away the rust and fiber-glassed it. Which worked fine. I noticed about a year ago the...

    Leaded Gasoline

    Nope, I'm former serving paratrooper - I jumped from Hi-performance aircraft for Ronald Reagan for 'bout 10 years (got two metal knees to prove it, ha ha). But we never got stamps for gas - just cheaper prices on Ft Bragg & Ft Lewis back in the day at the base PX stations.
