Pulled carb to check again, and looks like throttle plates were not closing all the way. Not sure if choke linkage was bound up or if I messed up realigning them. Working on correcting that now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey y’all. My 71 Mach 1, H code is not able to idle while warm. Cranks immediately when cold, choke opens up once she is hot and idle starts struggling, eventually dies. Also dies when I put her in gear. FMX tranny. Pertronix 2 unit and coil Rebuilt 2100 Checked TDC and dizzy alignment...

Well crap... back to being paranoid. This is fan off of my 71 Mach 1, 351C, 2v. I was getting myself too stressed on this restoration and decided to have some fun with fan paint scheme. I didn’t strip old paint. I gently wet-sanded it with 600 grit under warm water in kitchen sink. Wife was...

I would clean and mark the timing marks, pull the plugs and cycle the engine by hand to make sure. A little bit of effort up front will save a ton of frustration. I am just getting motor up and running on my 71, 351C. Running stock dizzy with a pertronix 2, and coil. Had a great result with...

No worries man. I already have it put back together, but I am happy to shoot some pics when I head out to the shop later this week! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I think that is my plan! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t. I left that all attached and wrapped it back and covered for painting front part of engine bay. I can get a pic of you need one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was my pic prior to disassembly, doesn’t look like anything was on Black terminal... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha. What goes on that black terminal on alternator then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made the epic mistake of assuming I would remember how stuff goes back together... Does the mid-leg terminal on Neg battery terminal connect to black post on alternator? I assume so, but just wanted to check! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude, it is just one of those weeks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My plan now is to fix front suspension, let her settle in and then tackle the floor pans. Going to take Midlifes advice and wait on subframe. I want to make sure she is straight and level with suspension and floor pans before I weld in subframe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great advice. I have a 1/2 inch or so sag on the passenger side from a broken spring. It sounds like I should rectify that prior to messing with the pans. The driver side pan is in really good shape, I think it just needs a pass side pan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey crew! Making progress on my 71 Mach 1. Up next she needs a new pass side floor pan, and I want to add subframe connectors. My question is, what is best tactical approach? Should I install floor pan and then add subframe connector, or should I cut out rusted floor segments, install subframe...

Just repainted my stock VC’s! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a plastic splash shield at back near door but not one at front Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pulled the fender and was mostly pleasantly surprised by what I found underneath. Front inner apron as expected. Everything else not too bad. The rust hole in the rear apron section near hood hinges has me a little worried. Not sure best strategy at all to repair that. Advice appreciated...
