The little guy reminds me often to shut my lights out. So is it annoying, oh yes it is, but very useful too. However this thread reminds me my old plan to replace it with the ‘ding ding’ from my old 91 tbird. Just as useful, but less annoying. Now if I remember this AND recall where I have...

Yes, I'm assuming here you have put the column back together, with parts expected to function and only need to adjust the cylinder/rod/switch mechanism relationship (travel /distance).

the doc is made for ideal situation, in other words no play. In real world the nut securing the contact is the only thing that matters. The easy way to set it right is (with battery disconnected so you do not crank) is to insert the key to crank position, and while there, move the rod and the...

Wow, what a beauty! Manual speed box behind?

dang!! That’s a nightmare! You’re ok, that!s all that matters! If it was loaded with good parts, may be buy a coupe donor and transfer all you can on it?

There is a lock ring at the end if each S rods (the axis pivoting the flaps) And like 5 or 6 small nuts per duct to remove them. as the vacuum actuators are originally riveted, you might need to separate the 2 pieces of plastic to open. To open them you only need to pry the staples open. Then...

The 71-73 were designed especially to accept the 429. Engine wise you only need 385 series engine mounts similar to 429. For the trans, I don't know what you have but you can have a pretty big bell housing as it was the case for the C6/429 combo without any firewall/tunnel issues. Drive shaft...

That's some very testing period you went thru Bob. From now on, it should only go much better!

@t.kohlmeyer Pictures, metric sizes and some dxf or other 3D format would prolly do it. Not sure about the gauge, if really thick, that would mean probably buying extra metal to build the dies to press/shape it and prolly another set to fold it. But before costs would need to be made, with your...

@c9zx thanks Chuck! Never seen these before. Probably because they failed to drain anything :D Found this 70' image. So this thing is ment to be outside? How are they supposed to work? Wait till there is enough water pressure to push the rubber outwards??? The rubber seems to be clipped on...

Before stoopid brexit, I could buy paint stripper and I did my entire engine bay in no time. I recall go from a 3 layers of paint firewall to a blank metal in less than 20 minutes. places you cannot go without doing serious gym were pristine in no time. In the states you still can buy what is...

I was busy this weekend in the quarter/trunk region of my 71 and saw this unknown little guy in the pile of dirt rust that I was busy removing from the drop-offs... it looks like a "stop", the end of something rubbery. The metal seams to be some kind of lock as used on door locks mechanisms. My...

@t.kohlmeyer Thank you. I have no issues working with imperial sizes on our cars, and after 35 years of Mustang wrenching I'm used to. The Holley Sniper is not from that era and sold all over the world. In that regard, it makes no sense to keep imperial as the entire world is metric for decades...

@cv_72mustang Thank you. Indeed space is an issue for such project. It got better since my divorce about 2 years ago, as I have now a "mustang" room in the house :) Where I can store the restored parts vs as before spend one hour to put everything outside, hope for no rain, work and then put all...

Little update before the weekend for once... Gonna start with a rant for a change :) I have been busy on the 73 because of (AGAIN) issues with the Sniper. This time, it's I think the regulator as last time I used it, it was running fine idling but was loosing power a few seconds after it was...

Strangely here in metric land I use most 11, 13 and 14 on my stangs.

You could also buy modern CR foam and make a copy/new one in the shape you want as I did when I've restored my 429's column. All it takes is to sharpen a few cylinders (used a PVC piece for the big one and a metal tube ) and slam them in to cut nice circles. And 3 staples...

@rvrtrash Great to see you make the move. Now, after a few wire rolls and gas bottles, I keep wondering why I did not start welding much earlier! It's a must in this hobby! I won't give you tech welding advice but if there one you should listen to : redo whatever you did if it's not right and...

Beautiful vert! Welcome from the cold Netherlands!

Summit has a great reach, they should post a video/ad showing the destruction of all the products they have found to be fakes/copies. As a clear signal to the industry. Doing this as they say in their facility and post a msg on their own site won't reach enough IMO.
