    NACA HOODS FOR '71 TO '73 MUSTANGS. CORRECT OR INCORRECT!

    Hi to all, Stumbled across this new article put up in the daily Hagerty Media outlet. It's a write up regarding the 10 coolest cars with NACA hoods. Going through the article, i noticed that our 1,2,3 Mustangs didn't get a mention at all in the ten listed. The post written by Scott Oldham, goes...

    Idler Arm Issue

    Hi Geoff, Totally agree. You may recall in my idler arm help post, i strongly suspected that the recommended Scott Drake idler arm for 1,2,3's looks identical with the 1970 American Falcon idler arm assembly, which doesn't fit our cars. I also heard through the grapevine that Holley has taken...

    Replacing door speakers - what is recommended and how much depth can the car accept before issues with window operation

    Hi Animal, I had a similar outcome like Tony Muscle. I ended up going Polk Audio Brand, and chose a 5x7 inch speaker. My choice was based around the fact that is was to be very hard for me to find a speaker that was not to big in length and breadth size, but more importantly, to find a speaker...

    Most authentic Ford Blue for a 1973 engine

    Hi Kev, Sorry i can't be of help here, as we too have a small variety of so called Ford factory blue colors. I chose one that was close to my '73 Vert engine rebuild, but being sold here in Oz, would mean that the American brands or varieties would differ from the Aussie ones available more...

    AUSTIN VERT'S LOVE/ HATE THING WITH RATTLE PAINT CANS

    Hi to all, INTRO. Aerosol paint cans/rattle cans/paint bombs/pressure pack paint cans have been around for a long time now. (kicked in around the early Sixties i believe) Over the decades of buying them and using them, i have developed a love/hate relationship with them. There can be no...

    Hi Big Red, Thanks for your reply and recommendation. OK. Forum feedback very much likes this Moog idler part, K8165 but alas it has stopped production some time ago. Based on recent research, i would be lucky to find one nowadays, and at a decent price. The Moog replacement does not fit up...

    Hi Geoff, and thanks also for your great reply. Ok, based on what you say, you're happy to put your money on the NPD unknown part all day every day for quality and good fit up. That then makes four idler arm parts that Forum members have recommended. The missing slotted hole is a drawback but...

    Hi Mod73, Thanks for your reply too. Good to get your positive feedback on the WCC Cougar product as well as other members. I'm thinking that product would be the go to at this stage if the bushing replacement plan falls through. Quick note. Is it my imagination, but does the length of the...

    Hi there, and thanks for your reply. You have recommended the Rare Parts idler arm to me. Past Forum feedback gives the Rare Parts product a good rap for quality and fit up without issues. Sadly though, it is high priced, and so would cost me $391.00 Australian to land it at my door step. The...

    Hi Sheriff, Thanks for your feedback. I have had my eye on Moog and Mevo Tech bushes as a go to for quality bushes. Moog's got a strong reputation in the market place for producing quality products. It's interesting to note that past Forum feedback on the Moog idler arms themselves is for a poor...
