    351C overheated

    Taking the radiator in to get it tested (results will determine choice to repair or replace) should be top priority at this point.  Since you mentioned you have already observed considerable rust flakes / debris during your flushing there is a pretty good possibility the radiator tubes are...

    Random Craigslist find -Clean 71' Mach one in Northern CA.

    The ad seems to be basically someone doing as little as possible but expecting the maximum payoff.   Bentworker's pic are better than the what appears in the ad.

    Q-Jet Time...

    Glad you are finally resolving the issue.  Let us know how you do the setup and fine tuning.  Geoff is right about some very nice weather coming into the region for a few days to do some trial drives. As an aside, I just got my 69 vert back together (rear differential rebuild) so will be doing...

    Photo Shoot

    All kidding aside, I've been involved with a couple photo shots with my cars featuring models. My first rule has always been "No one sits or perches on the car" and the 2nd, "poses in contact with the car will be talked about prior to contact to prevent scratches". Never had any issues...

    Holley Sniper EFI with Ram Air

    Check all EFI plug connections -- in fact, unplug and re-connect all connectors to ensure solid contact.  I had an erratic issue with my Holley EFI which turned out to be loose TBS (which I could have sworn was tight).  I spent triple digit hours and $$ attempting to diagnose issue before...

    Valve Cover brackets

    These are the wire loom routing clips that typically hold the wire to the valve cover brackets.  They come in various sizes.  Usually the small ones are what's used.

    Mini console installation

    That appears to be only the upper (clock) section of a full console, not a mini console.

    3.25 Traction Loc issue in curves and corners.

    About 10 yrs ago after doing a rebuild with new clutch pack, I tried synthetic gear oil (Pennzoil or Valvoline as I recall) with the thought I'll never need to deal with it again.....after putting approx 1000 miles (with no issue) the rear end started grabbing in turns & reverse with...

    3.25 Traction Loc issue in curves and corners.

    Make sure you use petroleum-based rear end gear oil and not synthetic.   Trac-Loc clutches do not like synthetic.

    Replacing front rotors

    Forget that video.  71 - 73 mustang front disk brake rotors have the hub & wheel bearings incorporated into the design.  The most difficult thing is to install new races and bearings (properly greased).  Now would be a good time to review the procedure in your service manual.  These year...

    One left the stable...

    The way things are going with restrictions, you'll have lots of time to work on projects.  To replace my 73 vert, decided to go a bit more modern. For some reason, I keep finding blue exterior colors to my liking.  Not much needed to do with this one except enjoy the drive.

    Window adjustment on a 73 vert with PW

    Adjustment issue.  Convertibles are a bear to get the windows to fit.   Looks like it's tilted down in the front and may be a tad too far back. You'll need to take off the door panel to access the adjustment points.  Rear quarter window adjustment can also  be part of the alignment process

    Drivers remote mirror disassembly

    Color code your cables and the housing to ensure you get them back in the right slots.   In the past,  I've been able to carefully spread the slot opening with tip of small screwdriver (just enough to fit cable) & pull the cables out.

    71 Dash Pad Install

    Foam has no strength for anchoring screws.  Use the metal flange.

    O2 Sensors

    Properly welded bung located far enough downstream is highly recommended if you go ahead with the sensor.  Clamp-on could have the potential to loosen & develop leak if long term.  Probably same amount of effort to install either way so its worth installing bung which (if you are just using...

    Curious about Bendix Brake Booster "pedal feel"

    Geoff:  The EBC pads were a perfect match to the SSBC (and LEED semi-met) pads. They are a precise fit into the calipers.  That's quite the markup in price from here in the states.   Base cost here is $124 plus tax to +/- $130 US. I'll  send you a PM, but I could ship you the LEED s-m pads if...

    Curious about Bendix Brake Booster "pedal feel"

    Hi Geoff: 1) LEED sells a brake line pressure gauge set, pretty much the same as what Summit sells  https://leedbrakes.com/i-23439488-brake-pressure-gauge-kit.html It measures up to 3000psi so it's kinda of a 'one-time' use and into the drawer thing. 2)I got the semi-metallic pads from LEED...
