The earlier Ford engines used the timing gear set which had a flat faced cam gear, "long" dowel pin, and one-piece fuel pump eccentric which is drilled for the dowel to just extend into it to keep it from rotating. These later year engines ('71-'73) utilize a cam gear with an eccentric mounting...

I didn't see an engine tune-up on your list. I bought my car used, and that, along with an oil change was done " day 1". I guess it's the engine guy in me to re-build the carb and tune it up first.

Mercedes is highly regarded in most circles,...............however, Ford advertised the Mach 1 as "challenging Europe's finest", so Mercedes BEWARE!

How long do you have your door open, when you get in, that a safety buzzer drives you batty? Ever own a new car? Just sayin".

I have been running the BFG Radial T/As and happy with them. I've seen many cars running the Cooper Cobras, haven't heard anything really derogatory, save for wet weather handling by one of our members. The Cobra lettering tie-in on our Fords isn't lost on me, and likely a small reason for their...

I concur with the other boys here. Having the trans in chassis already gives you the added benefit of not having to sling as large a monolith up over the fenders/radiatior support, and is lighter to manuver. When I have done fresh engines in the '65-'66 cars, it's interesting that you can...

1971 Mach 1 , 351 Cleveland, H-code, FMX, P/B with discs, P/S, A/C, 3.50 Trac-Loc ( added, 3.00 open was stock ), Ram-Air, Med Yellow-Gold, Ginger Interior, Factory 14" rims with Caps and Rings .

Plus one more on the starter wrap. I use my Mach for towing , as well as everyday driving, and run the stock manifolds on the exhaust. early on, I realized while on a trip up in the mountains towing a boat, after stopping at a rest stop, I had a no start issue. I even yanked the battery out of...

Just an observation from the photos of the Hedman headers,...the 88220 pipes are 1 3/4", vs the 88320 at 1 5/8". The 88320 pipes are a tad smaller to begin with, and the design of the 88320 slants the #8 ( rear pipe ) back, instead of straight down like the 88220. It appears, from the pictures...

...Oh, Thank you Father for the poor molested sportsroof I am about to receive.......

Don, I saw that article on dented headers as well. You are correct that they didn't show any negative effects, although, asthetically, I too dislike having to dent headers, guess you gotta do what you gotta do now and again.

"Six turnin' and four burnin". My late father sold Pratt & Whitney Recip engines, something I grew up with, and the reason for me hazarding a guess. I went to Aviation Mechanics School and hold an A&P, so again, enough to take a guess. Photo is me in school.

What is this? A B-36? Six engine panel?

I don't really know what mods may or may not have been done to the factory system to race Trans -Am, as the Boss 351 was designed to do, but I can assume possibly metallic, or semi-metallic pads likely were likely used to race, don't know if they kept the power assist or not. It would be...

A cooling system flush is one of the more basic maintenance services, along with oil changes, rotating tires, and battery maintenance , that every gas station and general mechanics garage performed daily. No rocket science here. Generally, there is a flushing solution, or cooling system cleaner...

I've owned my Mach 1 for 34 years, and still to this day, will walk outside and check out the car, how aggressively it haunches down in the driveway. When I go to the store, I'll park, walk about 50 feet, and stop and turn around, thinking to myself, " ...look at that...". These cars have that...

Oh man, I could never drive my car anywhere if I had headers that protrude down as low as yours. My car has the front lowered about an inch and that's an inch more than minimum clearance. are those Hooker comps, or super comps? I'm not really sure if even the Ford Powertrain Applications units...

Isn't the radio antenna on the wrong fender?? Is a black dashboard pad with red interior, right?? Jus sayin'...but, pretty car though.

Well, not entirely accurate.........we have all read many, many times about Ford retarding the camshaft timing, so not the same cam timing . I don't have the specs here in front of me this moment , but I'm thinking all of the '73s received ******** timing. Of course, dropping the compression...

Yes, very interesting. Maybe ....?
