Life sure is strange. A representative from my HOA stopped by this weekend and told me someone in the HOA is leaving, and, would I consider taking their place. Hmmmmmm, Yeah, sure. Maybe I can help to bring about change from within in my community. Life sure is strange.

Has anyone done any investigating as to what the racers actually used, if anything, for road racing a '71-'73? I think many people, most people, just add the bar for that bad news, " my car really needs this attitude". I CAN tell you however, that when I used to work at a Mustang restoration...

Somewhere along the line, here on the boards, I remember seeing a sportsroof with those modifications. It may have been drawn in with a computer. I can't remember if it looked out of place, or looked hot.

I notice that you run a B&M mini-blower. They have gone obsolete, as B&M, Holley, and Weiand no longer make these. Just for information, if you don't have a reputable supercharger shop already, I work at The Blower Shop, in Boise Idaho, and we certainly overhaul these superchargers, and carry...

Judging by the cabinet magnets, somebody has been buying a butt-load of stuff from Rock Auto!

I'm 70 years old now, working at The Blower Shop, working with superchargers and kits, and enjoy it. I will, I'm sure, retire eventually, but no plans currently to do so. I have the big roll-away tool cabinet we all aspire to have. There are two drag boats in the garage , they are historic but...

The procedure to do the modification to the Ansen covers is relatively easy, and commonly done. You will need to use your Dremel tool . I used a carbide cutting disc in my Dremel to cut the notches used on the driver's side cover, and another fluted drum tip was used to cut down the fins where...

If I remember correctly, when I used to work at a Mustang restoration shop many many years back, there were issues with aftermarket steering wheels even back then. They can be a big pain. One thing I can recall, is that on some installations, the steering column required loostening and required...

Seems like so much work, if even possiibble, to ttry to mate 390 headerrs to a Cleveland , pipe diameters and tuning lengths should also be different. On anotherr note, I remember the four-bolt collector flanged headers as being made by Appliance Headers.

Typo? I believe you meant Stant 10640

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez! Try Decaf. No need to school me. What I posted is the technically correct Ford Motor Company verbage, and as for being known for decades, don't forget I'm older than you and I was there when they came out with the then new '71 body, so I'm used to the factory terminology...

If you have a '71-'73 Mustang, with the "fastback-style" roofline, ,.... and It's NOT a Mach 1, It's a SPORTSROOF, simple as that. Let others call it what they may, but you, as the owner, should know the body style. Just as Camaros that aren't Z-28s, are simply coupes.

I've worked on quite a few AMCs over the years, lots of complete engines done at Valley Head Service when I was their engine builder. I like 'em, My opinion is that the 390 seems to be the most used for performance, seems to have a bigger following than the 401s. AMC came out with the...

Just to keep Apples to Apples, a side-by-side comparison on a 351c , which hadn't been designed for EFI, rather than an LS, and figuring in the added complexity of hook-up in the car on their 1 thru 10 scale, rather than on a dyno stand would have been a more realistic overall comparison for...

I have kind of a simplistic, "pragmatic" opinion of retrofitting our cars with aftermarket EFI systems. Simply stated, it's not a necessary modification when looking at the big picture. Sure, I agree EFI can potentially increase your gas mileage, but for the way MOST of the classic car owners...

I take the hose fittings over to the grinder and put a chamfer on the leading edge O.D., measure the depth of the block metal and draw a line on the fitting to denote depth of install, then I use a short bolt that will just fit into the fitting's I.D., to use the bolt head as a surface to tap...

The Ram Air assembly doesn't come with any hoses. There is the hood part of it, which is comprised of the flat plenum and two vacuum door assemblies that mate up with the hood scoops, and the special air filter assembly which is basically the standard lower housing with a special lid, adapter...

That's what I said, those armrests don't go with the Mach 1 door panels which are PICTURED, likely to Standard ( base ) door panels......or did you read my comment wrong?

That armrest pictured on the right isn't a piece that goes with the Mach 1 interior door panels. Likely used on Standard door panels

I've owned my current '71 Mach 1 for 34 years. Before this car, I had a '65 Hi-Po GT Coupe and a '66 Shelby GT-350, I would still have kept the two early cars , save for the fact that a couple of people interested in them offered me big dollars for each, and I caved. Never again. My Mach 1...
