Hi all, thank you for the input. Have a moment, so update time... After a few weeks of interruptions I decided to get a set of hoses from the Truck n Car Shop in Orange, CA. as they had them in stock and I was going to be going by that area anyway, so got a set. Scott Drake parts, have...

Update... Don at Ohio Mustang doesn't have the hoses, not enough call for them. I have Larry's T-Bird/Mustang near by, they don't stock them either, and cannot get them from one of their vendors. NPD recommends an "O-ring kit" when installing the hoses, but as Don said, the hose ends are...

Thank you all for the input. Dearborn doesn't cover Mustang, Mac's doesn't have a set listed (that I could find). Also unable to find a listing at Ohio Mustang. I have emailed an inquiry to them. Looking at the prices that everyone is selling, seems there are 2 different levels of quality...

Hi all, After a day of cleaning the trunk area from decades of fluid leakage and spills, I buttoned everything up last night, ran the top through a couple of cycles, and had a top hose part company with a cylinder. Along with the inevitable lotsa-fluid-leakage and choice-words-leakage, I now...

PM sent to 4mm. Working on this for him.

Hi all, hope it's OK to post this here. If not, lemme know... I recently replaced the front suspension on my 71 Convertible. I have what I think are factory original (71k mile car) upper and lower control arms and perches which are in decent condition and I imagine are rebuildable for someone...

OK, found it was easier to get pix from the net than to try and take nice pics of my garbage. Anyway, pictures... First are what I consider 70 and before for a V8 Chevy, I'm sure similar used on others. Pic of the parts and the coil installed without the cover. Axle of coil parallel to engine...

It looks very similar to the mounting of a 71-72 Chevrolet Small Block V8 divorced choke coil. 1970 is different. You wouldn't have the lower "can" (fits into a pocket on the mani?) as the Chevy parts mounts onto a machined flat pad with a single screw and anti-rotation pin. You will also need...

Just went thru this exercise for my 71 convertible, pics of the original power steering idler and the Moog K8118 manual steering idler are below. I slotted the hole closest to the joint to raise the assembly up as much as I can. Also, the factory PS arm is straight mounted and the new one has an...

Looked back at all the Moog stuff I just purchased and recieved in March 2016, and determined the following: All items are from their "Problem Solver" line, and the part quality looks to be as good as or better than the non-Moog high end restoration parts I bought almost 20 years ago for my...

3K73, Did you get this 1970 rear bar and try to fit it up? I have a similar opportunity to get a 70 rear bar and wondered if you were able to install the 70 bar on yours? From the info donkost posted from 429mustangcougarinfo, it looks like a go, but wondered if you actually tried it out...

Just bought everything for the front of my 71 Vert, some from RockAuto, some from JC Whitney with a 20% off and free shipping. Had to get one spring seat from Summit, as Rock (best price) could only supply one. Didn't look at the packaging for where made, but the parts look very nice...

OK, the front suspension on my Vert is tired so all of it is getting gone thru. While there, discovered that my front disc brakes can use a service, so that's getting opened up, which means, WTH, gonna try out longer wheel studs. I have one unit of the Dorman #610-277 on order, if it does what...

basstrix, The shanked lugs with washers would solve the issues, but I need acorn style nuts. Thank you tho. OK, all of this info is for lug studs for factory front disk hubs. Rears should be easy (he said). Looking really deeply at Dorman and the numbers they have, I need a .625 diam knurl on...

Lot's of people looking, anyone have any info or insight on this? I can drive the car gingerly as it is, but really want to get the wheel stud issue sorted so I can enjoy it. Someone must have installed longer or extended wheel studs on their 71-73 Mustang, either for road or drag racing?

Hi all, Trying to get back to work on the Mustang projects. Need help with longer wheel studs. I am putting alloy wheels that take acorn style lug nuts on my 71 Vert, and due to the thicker mounting pad on the wheel, I would like to put in longer wheel studs. The car has front disc brakes and...

Update: Got tired of a car that was non-useable, and had not had time (still don't) to go to the junkyard for a JGC box, so pulled the Mustang box to reseal, and was then able tp compare it to a Chevelle box, which has the same mountings as the Jeep box. Remember, I am not worried about minor...

Haven't done much cuz the car is parked with a steering box leak and I haven't had time to even push it around... What I have found: GM-used boxes and the Jeep GC boxes use a 4 lug mounting system. So does the 72-up Torino, I believe. Seems some Torino owners have swapped (or looked into...

Hi all, Bumping this up, as I will have to do something soon. Car leaks sooo bad it is undrivable. Don't mind being a test subject, and not afraid of anything required to do such a swap (have access to a machine shop), just would like to avoid any missteps that may have already been made. Thx...

Heh, fun never ends... Driving home, car was running horrible, again. Was running sooo nice on the way to work, too. Turned out I had another bad vacuum cap which caused the bad idle, again. While walking around the car to fix this, I find a trail of fluid going down the driveway and into the...
