I have a 1971 MACH 1 with a 351 Cleveland 2 barrel carb. Recently it started idling EXTREMELY roughly while in gear. It idles fine when it is in park or neutral, but not in any gear. I removed the distributor cap while investigating, sanded the points and cap/rotor contacts, and lost all but...

I wish I could get mine down to a small drip! Right now it's a full blown leak.

Hey guys, I've got a leaky kickdown shaft on my 1971 c4 transmission. I'm hoping it's the external seal and I'm trying to remove the linkage to get to it. Can anyone tell me exactly how to remove the linkages to get at the external kickdown shaft seal? Once I access the seal is there a trick...

That looks really nice, let us know how it works out. Speaking of cameras, I finally upgraded from my old camera and got a Canon EOS 7D. It's amazing!

Does anyone have a fold down back seat in their car? My car did not originally have one but I plan on putting one in. I believe I have all of the necessary parts but I'm not sure exactly how much work this is going to take. Does anyone have an idea?

That site is a life saver. I had to use it to find out exactly where to place all of the Mach 1 stripes on my car.

Hey guys, glad to see a site dedicated to 71-73 mustangs! I purchased a 71 Mach 1 last October to restore with my dad. Here's how it looked then. http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae215/verdelizard/1971%20Mach%201/Project.png[/img]...

I've never seen that stripe before.
