Thank you for posting the catalog info! Do you know if these are Aluminum or Stainless Steel?

Here are some more pics of the brackets if it helps!

Did all Mach 1's come from the factory with stainless steel trim around the fog lights? Mine (pictured) shows no scratches indicating it was ever installed if that is a good indication. Anyway does anyone know where can I buy the trim set? Thanks!

Midlife, thank you for sharing that guide! That is the clearest description of alternator function I have ever seen! One thing that struck me was it indicated that cars with ammeters may not have alt/batt lights. My car has the gauges including an ammeter. Do you know if '71's with the...

It's been a while, but on a previous car the battery light would come on as I turned the key to ON and would go off as the engine started and rev'd enough for the alternator to kick in. The light on my current '71 M code does not come on at all. I changed out the bulb some time ago and I'm...

Awesome - got it! Thank you! BTW would you want to sell one of those???

Hi, Can someone post an image of the stud that connects the lock-out rod to the reverse crank on the trans? I think it's a stud that would snap into one of those hard blue or brown plastic bushings. I picked up the lock-out rod but I'm missing the stud and nut. Thanks, Peter

I'm not ready to lower the car onto its wheels - I am waiting on pricing and delivery on the springs before I go forward, but the rear was sagging. How would you measure lost arch?

OK wheels and tires both have the same dimensions: both 6" from the back mounting surface to the highest point of the outer sidewall bulge, but I found other stuff...Using a plumb bob, the distance from the wheel mounting surface of the brake drum to the driver's side wheel well lip is 5-5/8 the...

Hmmm good idea...runs out to garage...

Both sides replaced a both pressed to correct locations. Confirmed with hub to bake plate measurement.

This one's got me stumped. After doing some rear end work and then on the drive back from Carlisle with a passenger the driver's side rear wheel starting rubbing when hitting a dip in the road. Car specs: 71FB with tired stock leaf springs, 15x8.5 ARE 200s "Coke-Bottles" w/ 4" offset, new...

Thanks for your reply Red351! Would you advise applying a film of red high temp RTV for good measure?

HI, I've been freshening my car for the upcoming Carlisle... I removed the intake (351C4V) to clean it up and I believe it was the first time it was ever removed - (the same with the valve covers). I picked up an NOS Ford gasket/galley pan and it has the light colored gasket material attached...

I am considering lowering the front end of my 71 351. As it is done with the earlier models, do the upper control arms need to be lowered as well by drilling new mounting holes? I only plan to lower 1". Thanks, Peter I found my answer at...
