Beautiful! Have family in Hartford, just up the road from you.

Am about to go crazy going searching the Ford shop manual and *not* finding it. Plenty on how to check fluid levels and what they should be, but nothing on where the opening is. I've been crawling around under the car and can't see/feel it to be sure. Front or back of the differential? Near...

Is this what you mean? This one is at Kentucky Mustang and is the slim profile 9" https://www.kentuckymustang.com/chassis/brakes/brake-master-cylinders-power-boosters/power-brake-booster-9-inch-black-booster-cast-iron-master-cylinder-1971-1973-leed-brakes.html

When I got it, there were unused (but not capped) vacuum hoses, uncapped ports, open manifold vacuum, etc. Sold first in Long Beach, CA, so this is definitely originally a California car, and with a California configuration at one point. Also seems CA-only vacuum diagram are just not available...

Turns out... the kit was useful if for nothing else, the tubing they supply for draining the fluid away from the car. We're using the two person method. Back right is bled, but man that fitting is tricky to get back in place when you're working in reverse and your near-vision sux

Seems to be a maxim in restoration land: every task seems to beget a dozen more. All I wanted to do was change the front discs and rear drums to new pads. Brake fluid came out like old/dirty motor oil, so decided I'd try to bleed out that old fluid and replace with new. Discovered front flex...

That's what I fear if it's not a vacuum issue

...by a few hundred rpms. Is that normal (never heard of it), or not such as a vacuum leak? It's a '73 California Q code w automatic, a/c, ps and brakes. I've never found the correct vacuum diagram, so my vacuum routing is hooked up as best I could figure, but there are no uncapped ports and...

Awesome feedback, thanks. I'll check the frame the next time I have the wheel off, although unless it's obvious I might not see the problem. Also, time to find a good body guy. We used to have a wonderful light-industrial area just down the hill from us with lots of small, independent auto...

'73 convertible. I need to repair the driver's side rear quarter. Replacement skins seem far easier to come by compared to full fenders, but I've never considered them because I don't really know when they're appropriate. First question: is the skin a replacement or an overlay? If a...

Welcome from Palm Springs

I have the mechanicals, and yes, they came from a Cougar

'73 convertible with the Decor package, and yes, I have the original Comfortweave ready for replacement. There are a couple of seat upgrades I have questions about: 1st: I want to add seat heaters. I'm thinking the switch will be hidden in the unused ashtray area. My question is in the...

Nice!

Welcome!
