Hi Manu, You are correct, the plug acts as a vent for excess grease to come out. You have nothing to worry about, just let it keep spitting out grease until it stops. -Josue

Hello from sunny (actually, rainy at the moment) Miami! I'm glad you were able to become a proud Mustang owner... welcome to the site! You'll find plenty of great info and people here. As far as your Mustang goes, it's a great start. Just wanted to point out that there is absolutely nothing...

My prayers have been answered! I have been months looking online for someone that has installed police interceptor wheels on a 71-73 Mustang and have come up short. I have a set that I've been wanting to install on my '71 as well, and haven't bought the tires yet out of fear that it'd be a waste...

Wouldn't be the first time lol. Many years ago, I had left the car without washing for a couple of months and it was filthy. One afternoon, I try to crank it and it wouldn't start. I had driven it earlier, so I was confused. I try to start it up a few times, to no luck. After about 5 or 6 tries...

Today I got a chance to check the car. I tested the ignition switch, which checked out fine. Then I followed the red/blue wire to the fuse box, which still registered full voltage in the start position. I followed the wire through the firewall, which gave me full voltage the whole time. It came...

Thank you for the replies, gentlemen. Going to check this afternoon, hopefully I'll find something.

Hey guys. I have a little bit of an issue, wanted to see if anyone has had this experience: A month ago, I tried cranking the car to take it out for a spin, and it just stayed silent. It wouldn't click or anything. All the accessory lights turn on, everything else works, but no crank. I changed...

I've been looking through the internet for some nice road racing 71-73s, but I haven't seen much, if any, material on them. Apparently nobody likes to take the Clydesdales out to the twisties. I mean, yeah, they're big and heavy as far as vintage Mustangs go, but given their wide track and...

Welcome from Florida! That is one gorgeous Mach you have. Your Mustang must be very happy living in Sweden!

I'm gonna jot these down and measure my car next weekend. I'll be crossing my fingers my measurements come up the same. Thanks for the measurement! Greatly appreciated. Same problem as I have, huh? So I'm coming to the realization that I'm not the only one out there with this fitment issue. I...

I see... that would definitely work. Never really noticed what the GT500 bars looked like, but that looks like a definite option, and it's not too expensive, either. If I can't get one of my buddies to weld one up for free, I'll just try this trick. Thanks a bunch! So today I measured the bar...

Perfect! Glad to see I'm not alone. The rep at NPD told me nobody's complained or returned their bars, so I was starting to get worried it was my car, not the product. I guess maybe in my case it CAN be an issue with the bar itself. If you get your monte carlo bar setup to work, let me know. I'm...

Two months isn't all that bad. I recommend Sta-bil. It works well and is very easy to find (at least where i live). Plus it's got a great reputation, so that's a pretty safe bet. Fill the tank with premium fuel and add the correct amount of stabilizer. Run the car for a few minutes to get the...

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I'm considering doing something along those lines, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. I just don't understand how a piece designed specifically for my car doesn't fit in length OR clears a factory distributor. It just makes me wonder how straight my chassis...

Those poor souls, driving with nothing but a giant sunroof to look out the rear. Credit to them for being so brave, though. Always been more of a coupe guy. I actually picked one over another equally tempting fastback. I guess I just love those flying buttresses and that small recessed window...

Yeah, didn't provide that bit of info. I'll measure the bar tomorrow morning. Thanks! That's a good reference point. At least I know if i don't get that measurement I should really begin to worry :s The car was aligned about 3 years ago, but has seen very little road use since then. Still, it...

Hi everyone, here goes my first tech thread! :cool: I have a 71 coupe and I want to do some suspension upgrades. I have stiff coils up front, but nothing else, so the first order of the day was to get a monte carlo bar to stiffen up the front of the chassis. 30 bucks later, I have a nice shiny...

Hi everyone, happy to be a new member here. My name is Josue and I'm a Miami resident. I've had my '71 coupe (I call her Big Blue) for about 9 years now. Bought it junior year of high school, and it's been my pride and joy since. I daily drove it, parked it for a couple years, daily drove it...
