    Droopy Sun Visors

    Wondering if anyone has had the issue of their sun visors not staying up. Mine keep dropping down every few minutes and I spend more time fighting with them then seeing where the hell I'm driving. I have tried to tighten the rods by mashing them a little, but nothing seems to work. I have...

    Happy 4th of July

    Just want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July. For our members outside of the US I hope you have a great day also. For our beloved wondering member @1sostatic we are waiting for some "words of Brits" (pun) for today.

    fan to rad distance

    +1 with Sheriff41. Leave it where it is. The correct position is half in - half out, as it is now. My car has 460 in it with a shroud from a 351. This combo causes the engine to run hotter due to the fan sitting too deep in the shroud. I had to remove the original spacer and get a 1/2 inch...

    71 Sportsroof/Mach1 On EBay Had Full Vinyl Roof..6hrs to go

    +1 with Mad. Way too far gone to be of any real value. If it had the original engine and tranny then it might be a different story. The insides looks as bad as the outside from what I can see.

    New Purchase and new member in AL

    Welcome from Ohio. Very nice-looking vert. It's always nice to have the history on the car. I know a few of the members on here have a/c parts for sale. You might want to do a "parts wanted" post for a compressor unless you already have a resource or plan on going a different route.

    Appraisal on my 71 Mach 1

    Great food for thought. I think we all have our own personal opinion of what our cars are worth and without an appraisal we could be short selling ourselves by tens of thousands of dollars. What's an extra hundred or so in insurance cost compared to thousands lost due to being underinsured...

    Stumped- Can't Figure out Why Car Won't Run...

    +1 with giantpune, verify timing and firing order before going any further. A good shot of ether in the carb will tell you if it's the gas or not. If you did wipe out some lobes, I would doubt that you wiped out enough to keep the engine from starting. Remember the basic 3 - air ,fuel...

    Thanks for taking us along on the tour with the great pics and narrative. I glad to see you were able to fix the clutch bracket and continue on. Got to give you credit for your dedication to the tour.

    Some help with windshield install

    You can do either way, but I recommend putting them in first. You have more room and won't be taking any chance of somehow hitting the edge of the windshield and cracking it.

    Starting a Y00t00b channel

    Great idea. Your video was good but as mentioned a bit too long at the end. The video was also a little shaky in a few spots. I liked the music and overall, for a test try it was pretty good. There isn't to many people left that can do component repair anymore. It's either replacing boards...

    Living with Vette instead of Stang

    Glad to hear you might be returning to the flock. Go with the m code mach. You won't have to keep telling people it's not a mach 1 if you go with the sports roof. :LOL:

    No start, no spark

    Going to throw something out there for you to try. Hot wire it and see if it will run. If it does it then it will help to isolate where the problems might be. If you don't know how hot wire our cars it quite simple. Remove the wire from the + terminal on the coil and then run a wire from the...

    Tim's 1973 Mach 1 rebuild thread - it's done in 2023 on it's 50th birthday!

    Very nice. Work well done and it shows. Nothing like standing back and admiring the beauty of all the hours of hard work put into it.

    Lokar kick down cable

    I was running without a kickdown for the past 5 years. I just added the cable and wow, what a difference. I went the inexpensive route and order a cable off a Amazon that was $27 and also the bracket for the carb/efi to hold the cable for $14. All works well but the kickdown cable end that...

    Best Car Cover?

    Good post and great timing. I've also been looking for an indoor cover. My car stays in the garage, and I have a Covercraft outdoor cover that I use during the winter months when I'm not driving the car. The rest of the years I use a couple of bed sheets to keep the dust off. I've also been...
