After looking closer at the regulator, it looks newer, but the connector that plugs into the side of the regulator isn't in very good condition. It looks like it may the original connector.  It doesn't fit snug, so I'm going to replace that first (it's a $3.00 part). I did push it in so it was...

Thanks Jason.  Think I'm going to replace the voltage regulator.  It can't hurt.

So tonight was the first time I actually drove my '72 (H code) when it was dark enough to need the lights.  The headlights, dash lights an interior lights flicker when the engine is running.  It gets worse when the turn signal is on. I suspect that the voltage regulator may not be be working...

I have no problem "accidentally" dropping the mirror.   lollerz

I watched the video and there was mention of a replacement mirror from the West Coast Couger web site for $1.80.  They're actually $16.00 on that web site.  But $16.00 is a lot better than $130.00 for a whole replacement sport mirror.  I'll probably order the $16.00 mirror and give it a try. It...

The video is very easy to follow, except I would still have to remove the actual mirror and drill out or grind off the rivets to access the ball socket, and then replace the mirror.  It doesn't look like there's any other way to do it without intentionally breaking the mirror because the ball...

Looking for a passenger side manual racing mirror.  Color is not important.  I just want the actual mirror and adjustment assembly. Mine is so worn out the mirror won't stay in position. Thanks. Bob

Thanks to everyone for your input and suggestions.  A special thanks to Don C who gave me the link to the grease injector needle on Amazon.  I received it today, went out in the garage and injected grease into that upper ball joint and....the creak is history!!  Best damn tool ever!!  Bob...

I determined that the issue has nothing to do with the shocks/bushings. I loosened the top shock nut and the three nuts holding the shock mount to the the shock tower as suggested by someone else in this thread (Thanks Fabrice), rocked the car and the quite annoying and loud "creak" (not a...

I'm about a 45 minute drive from Summit Racing.  $3.82 US + tax https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-9-8101g

Thanks.  I've got several things to try.

The shocks are new (2 months) but I'm going to check the position of the shock anyway.  And I'm also going to loosen the shock nut on the top of the shock and the three shock mounting bracket bolts and see what happens when I rock the car.  Thanks for the info. on the bushings at Summit Racing...

Thanks for the info. My father used to use a wooden broom handle to do the same thing to identify noises and vibration. He would put the end of the broom handle against the part and any any vibration would transfer to the wood. Going to try that as well.

That's a replacement for the rubber bushing that you get when you buy new shocks.  My front shocks are new, less than 2 months.  I'm not convinced that this bushing is the issue, since they're new.  And the suspension noise occurs on the right side only.  I realize you made your own, but is...

OK. Good to know. That also got good reviews on Amazon.
