To my knowledge, the fill plug is in the drop-out center section. Now, adding a drain plug might be handy. Some early rear end housings had drain plugs, I worked on a '67 Shelby that had a drain plug in the housing .

I tend to concur, this is the first I've heard of holes in the primary butterflies as well. Years ago, some people did drill those holes to help idle quality in modified engines but I assume Ford wouldn't have tuned their engines from the factory as such. Today, Holley produces racing carbs with...

For years I just couldn't wrap my head around the whole "5.0" thing, being the elder statesman that I am, I'm used to calling a 302 , a 302. The "Windsor" thing was another deal. I've seen windsor-style castings with a CF, ( Cleveland foundry ), so some people might get silly about what they've...

Is it just me, or does the fan look like it's on backwards?

Oh yeah, the factory brake units are more than adequate. There is a percentage of owners who, frankly, just want to replace the calipers and rotors with aftermarket brakes for little more than bragging rights. The factory has already done all of the figuring for you, all you need to do is bring...

The cooling system on our 71-73 Mustangs is but one of the things improved over the original earlier Mustangs. We can be thankfull for the switch to cross-flow radiators, which our cars use. It's simply a more efficient cooling system. I had a good friend who, in our Senior year in High...

When I was doing servicing on cars that came in for overheating, the very first, and easiest, thing I'd do is pressure test the radiator cap, obviously, when the engine has cooled down. You'd be suprised how many times it's the cap that malfunctions. Second, I'd pull the thermostat and test it's...

Really like the car. Did they offer the 340 ( bolt in replacement for the 318 ), for that year? As small blocks go, the 340 was Mopar's hot small block. I think if memory serves, the AAR 'Cuda had a 340 with 3-twos that's very cool.

The Big difference, when comparing Cleveland open chambers to a true Hemi, is that in a true hemi, the spark plug is centered , and the flame front burns down ,over the piston, opening like an umbrella. With Cleveland open chambers, as with any wedge head, the spark plug is to one side, and the...

I hate it when it's in limp mode............

Nice convertible! I'll tell ya, there's no way my Mach would make it up, or down that driveway behind your car in the frontal view, the front chin spoiler would have to go!

They may have used a few original body skins, maybe, tail lights maybe, but seriously doubtfull. I don't know what the rules say they have to use to be legal.

If you compare the postings to one another, it suggests the induction has a bit more to do with mileage, rather than assuming because you have a Cleveland, mileage will always be low. Dyno tests have shown that the Cleveland will take more carburetion happily, over say, a 350 chevy. We've all...

Oh my God, I am so sorry for the horrendous turn of events. I have no orders with you, but hope you and the Wife the best. We surely understand.

Water can seep around the rear window seal, and the trunk seal, depending on the car, possibly a poorly "seam-sealed' portion of the rear wheelhouses. For whatever reason, the water does find a way in there. A problem area when doing bodywork can often be around the tail-light area, which can...

I believe that goes in your glove box opening, above. Ther are a couple of circuit breakers mounted to it, hidden on the topside.

Nice car!..... Get used to hearing that phrase from everyone. You know, I did a frame-off restoration on a 1970 Olds 4-4-2 w-30, and same to a GTO Judge, but as bitchin' as those cars were, not everyone could relate to them. But, drive a nice vintage Mustang, people all know one when they see...

One of the reasons that not as much is made for the '71-'73, as far as front end stiffening is concerned, is that the '71-'73 platform is substantially stiffened from the factory, if you check out how the '69-'70 Boss 302 front end used an additional lower a-frame connector piece going under the...

Piper Cub in that hangar???

I was looking at this photo, and have concluded that it is staged. The car was placed and mocked up around that tree. Boiling pots for headlights. Hood cut out especially for the tree, no lug nuts, non-collapsed tires, wooden structure in front. Whimsical, fun, but staged.
