....By the way ------- Happy 50th Birthday this year to all you Sprint owners out there !!!!

Speaking of coil spring covers ------ does any know if these covers should be painted "slop gray" or perhaps they were painted black along with the engine bay area?? The pictures Stanglover posted above, look like the covers may be slop gray....... Thank you !

When searching the Ford Heritage Vault for our 1971 - 73 Mustangs, a (big) error discovered ...... the 1973 Mach 1 model shown is listed as a 1976 Mustang II...... So much for historic accuracy .....

.... are there any real paradises?

All great information Steve ----- Thank you!. After a bit of researching last week, I did find some dimensions on an OEM inflator canister --- 2-13/16" OD X 10-3/4" length. Interestingly, these dimensions are almost identical to the common hardware store propane or MAP gas bottle if one wants...

Steve ------ as a follow-up ------ I am trying to locate a Ford inflator canister for display. Can you tell me the dimensions of a canister(length and circumference)? Perhaps the Ford canister is the same as other OEM's of the time? Chrysler and GM used a similar canister, I assume?

I tried a new approach when I contemplated replacing the original, wider door window felts on my 1973 fastback recently. As many of you know, the reproduction window felt kits are nowhere close to the wider OEM felts used in 1973. Perhaps some of you could benefit from this approach. Here's what...

Much appreciated ------ I had never owned a space-saver spare or vehicle with one. This helps me decide what to do with it now !

Steve ------ here are some detail pics of the space saver spare for your review and decoding. It is an H-78 x 14 inch tire. Wheel is a 2-3/4" center hole and 5-1/2" wide. Thanks!

Hi Steve, I was following this interesting space-saver message you wrote sometime back. Could I trouble you to de-code a SS spare I picked-up recently? Regards, JW

Thank you gents for the quick responses. My best initial timing I can achieve by bumping into the upper rad hose is about 10 degrees BTDC. After rotating the plug wires one position clockwise, it is too much advancement (and now bumping into the A/C bracket). After a couple of tries using...

Just finishing up the final touches on a 351C (M code converted to 4bbl) rebuild in a 1973 Mustang. The engine started nicely and I have run it in for 30 minutes or so. When I went to adjust the initial timing(vacuum line disconnected and plugged), the distributor vacuum pot is hitting the top...

Another fun source of old Mustang watching from the early 1970's is at the Evel Knievel shows. Evel borrowed cars from the local dealers to use in his jumps. Here are a few pictures (coupes & fastbacks-look closely)from his Houston Astrodome jump in early 1971 where a few Mustangs show up.....

Sprint Project For Sale ------- Anyone looking for a REAL project? This fellow on FaceBook has one for you......

I am a relatively new Fastback Sprint owner. I purchased this DSO Omaha car in 2015. It was the classical "barn-find". This Sprint had been sitting dis-assembled in a pole barn in eastern South Dakota after a front-end collision sometime in the 1980's. It was a basket case with a missing...

The Blue-on-White color on the large Mustang hood really stands out! Did you use the stripe kit from Graphics Express? Did you install that large hood stripe yourself and was it difficult?

Rare 1971/72 Vinyl top ------- On the vinyl top subject ----- Here is a picture taken in the early 80's of my brother's 1971/72 Mach 1. It has a suedo 3/4 vinyl top but located on the rearward portion of the roof ! I have never seen this type of vinyl top on a fastback Mustang but perhaps this...

That is good to hear about your top. After checking, I purchased my vinyl top through NPD here in the states. These tops are advertised as high quality, OE spec with fleece backing and seams with 40 inch spacing. However, My top arrived with about a 38 inch spacing. After speaking with NPD and...

I installed a 3/4 black vinyl top on my 73 fastback recently. I don't recall the supplier but was happy with the over-all quality of the item. The issue I had arose when the spacing of the two dielectric bonded seams did not match with the two clearance notches on the original roof-top trim...
