No, currently no updates. I haven't been doing anything to it other than drive it to work and back. Being it's running and driving, there's not really anything to do other than start making it look nice, but most of that is beyond my capabilities. Thanks for letting me know about the member map...

I'm running 255/60/15 on the back and 235/60/15 up front with those same size rims. At least I believe that's what the front is; might be a 235/65/15, but I believe it's a 60. They fit very nicely and help with the fact the front end on mine is pointing to the sky, so the bigger tires in the...

Okay. Thank you for the information.

Haven't done much other than painting the car black. It's been gone over once with $1 cans of paint from Wal-Mart. It's something to make it look half-way decent. Also cut the mufflers off since they were falling apart. Actually runs a ton better, so I guess they were plugged up. Also put on...

I never thought about that. The car had sat for somewhere around 15-20 years before I got it going and all I did was check the fluid level. So the fluid is somewhere around 15-20 years old if not more. It is very dark, I just never thought anything of it since the brakes worked. I'll flush out...

That is what my friend had suggested, but I don't think that would be it. I know it needs new rotors, but that wouldn't cause this I don't think. When I put the new brake pads on it, the calipers compressed very easily and were very smooth going in. It also doesn't act like a stuck caliper. It...

Well, as this old car gets driven more, new problems keep showing up. This is one that I have not yet experienced myself, but a friend of mine has twice now. I got my truck back running, so I put the car off to the side so I could work on it when I had the chance, but a friend's car had some...

That's a very good possibility. From the little that I've read, it said that a 1/4" spacer is needed for the one in the pan. I don't know if that would be the rear band or not. I also don't know if it's a special tool or anything that's 1/4" would work. Either way, I'll give it a filter change...

When I first pulled the engine I had to remove the torque converter with it and when I drained the fluid it was very dark red almost black. When I put it back together I put fresh type F fluid in the converter. I'll be sure to blow out the lines while I have it apart and also blow out the cooler...

Okay, not too sure how to describe this exactly since I know nothing about transmissions, but I'll give it a try. I've been noticing that while driving around town slow, it feels like the transmission gets hung up between second and third. It'll go to shift, sound like it went into neutral...

Car still for sale. Have still not put on the Ford Racing valve covers, but have put on a new air cleaner and put on new white letter tires. 235/60/15 up front and 255/60/15 on the back mounted on a set of Cragers.

I found some Ford Racing valve covers in the junkyard that will be going on it soon. I've been driving it around and it handles the road quite well, but does need tires. But it starts up first try in the morning and I don't need to wait for it to warm up before leaving. So far, I've put probably...

Car now has HEI distributor and I found some Ford Racing valve covers in the junkyard that will be going on it soon. I've been driving it around and it handles the road quite well, but does need tires. But it starts up first try in the morning and I don't need to wait for it to warm up before...

Car now has an HEI distributor installed. All it needs is a set of mirrors on it to drive it around and is the only reason the car has not done more than around the block. Although we don't really have the time or money for it, if it's around long enough, progress will continue slowly. Also, I...

I am open to any and all offers. Please, don't feel like you'd offend me, I may accept what you want to give for it. Car will also be posted on Craigslist in the next day or two and will be in front of my or my friend's work place with a for sale sign. I just wanted to give people that are into...

For sale is a 1973 Mustang Grande that has just been put back on the road after some minor work. Fires on all eight and pulls crazy hard. But unfortunately, the time has come that we feel we should let it go. We don't have the time or the money to put into it, and the long time dream has been...

Well, the car is running and driving once again. Fires on all eight and pulls crazy hard. But unfortunately, the time has come that we feel we should let it go. We don't have the time or the money to put into it, and the long time dream has been felt and well enjoyed. As of right now, other than...

Thank you. I'll put them up as I take them. I'm not gonna really do anything until next week when the tank sender comes in, and it's been raining just about every day here in sunny Florida.

Gas tank showed up yesterday, sender should be in next week. I have the old one out, but it started raining so I have to wait. In the meantime I have done a full valve job like I wanted to and have the heads back on. I'm waiting on pushrods before it goes back together. I had ordered them...

Well, the friend of mine that has said he didn't want to rig anything on this car, has gone ahead and rigged something and now the engine is opened back up because of it. A few weeks ago, we had to get a valve guide replaced along with a pushrod for obvious reasons. I told him that we should...
