    Valve Covers for 351C 4V Q code

    Anyone know a good source for custom valve covers for this engine? I ordered a set of Scott Drake that, according to their fitment chart would fit, but they don't fit. They are smaller and won't even fit over the valve train. 6A582-351 Custom Valve Covers for Ford 351 Engines 6A582-351 Custom...

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    Thanks for sending that link. I wanted to use the throttle position selonoid wire for 12v, but when the car was restored several years ago, someone wired the headights to this wire, so it only is energized when the headlight switch is on. I haven't tried to correct that yet. I may need to...

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    Sorry haven't been on in a while and just saw this. To get a ignition on full 12V to the coil, I ran a wire off the wiper motor red wire. I have that wire powering the electric choke and going to the + side of coil along with the tach wire and red wire from the ignitor. I then have the black...

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    I just installed a Petronix II on my 73 Mach along with a new Edelbrock intake and Holley carb with an electric choke. I pulled my 12V for the choke from the wiper motor to power the choke and also send 12V to the flamethrower coil. I have the 12V wire, red wire from the PII and tach wire going...

    73 Mach I Factory AC

    I feel sort of foolish asking this question being the operation of the heat/cool lever is simple. Mine is working backwards. When I move the lever to cool, it blows warm. When I move it to warm, it blows cool. The cable can only go on one way and it connects direct to the lever on the heater...

    73 Mach 1 351C 4V Intake and Carb Change

    With the carb throttle linkage at idle, I have to pull the throttle cable back 1.5" to mount it to the ball stud. My concern is, by doing that, am I reducing my throttle travel at full throttle by 1.5"? Because I'm having to pull the cable back to mount it on the linkage, it's dropping my pedal...

    73 Mach 1 351C 4V Intake and Carb Change

    I just installed a new Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake on my Q code engine along with a Holley 4160 carb. I had the factory intake and Motorcraft 4300D carb on. After installation I noticed that the throttle cable is 1.5" longer than the closest mounting point for the ball stud. If I pull the cable...

    What did you do to your car today?

    Nothing yet. I've spent the last several days convincing myself not to change any of my original parts. So I'm going to do the right thing and install LED's in my dash, remove the AM radio and install a Custom Autosound slide bar radio and speakers and 3 point seat belts. Then I'll convince...

    73 Mach 1LED light upgrade

    My needles are in great shape. I didn't see any mention of painting the needles in the other threads. I don't have the ***** lights and to have a tach. I did buy my LED's from Hipo Parts due the the recommendations in the forum. I think I will just put the LED's in and see what happens. Thanks...

    73 Mach 1LED light upgrade

    I'm updating my dash and guages with LED's this weekend. I bought the fluorescent paint for the gauge needles, but I'm starting to second guess painting those. Has anybody done this and does the paint make enough difference that I would want to paint those? I'm afraid I may damage something hard...

    What headers are people using?

    I've been trying to find headers for my q code 351 4V 4 speed and I'm having trouble finding them mainly due to the 4 speed. I really don't want to have to raise the engine or do major modifications.

    Built 73 Q Code Mach 1 Walkaround.

    What exhaust do you have on the car? I just can't seem to get mine right. Just doesn't sound as aggressive as I want, but I don't want to get too agressive. Yours sounds good.

    73 Mach I AC Opinion

    I agree. I can't imagine a non working factory AC system will hold the cars value more than a working AC system.
