    fiberglass nasa hood

    It probably depends on if/how you end up mounting the plenum. It will probably be fussy to make all the modifications to get them to work together so I just don't know. But cosmetically, no the new hood doesn't need the inserts- they are molded into the hood and would need to be cut away to use...

    fiberglass nasa hood

    Hate to break the news now that you finally pulled the trigger, but this won't be as easy as you hope. I bought the VFN hood with the exact same plan....but none of the stuff fits the fiberglass hood, at least without some serious cutting and glass work. The underside looks like it will...

    correct neutral safety switch for 73 with c4?

    Well I managed to fry some of my NSS wires on my headers. Looking for a replacement NSS, but all the ones designated for a c4 only have the 4-prong plug (link). My car also has an additional 2-prong plug coming from the switch, but the ones I can find that look correct are designated as only...

    drum brake leftover hardware

    Thanks all. I'll stick it back in there today. I was really looking forward to taking the damn things apart again 😉

    drum brake leftover hardware

    Ok I figured it out- it does go on the parking brake link. Just for posterity, I found an exploded diagram in this post. Cody

    drum brake leftover hardware

    No those are all accounted for. This is about twice as big. I changed out all my hardware, springs, adjusters, etc. This wasn't in any of those kits. thanks!

    drum brake leftover hardware

    OK so this is the first time I have dug into drum brakes. I thought I was finished, but when I was collecting all the old parts, I had these little slotted oval pieces leftover. I am attaching a picture of the piece (left) as well as the auto-adjust lever for scale. What am I looking at? My best...

    cracked headlight

    Hmm I have been orienting the words on the bulb in the right direction, but I don't remember any tabs on the bubls themselves...maybe I had them off by a tad. I'll check it out. thanks!

    cracked headlight

    Ok this is a stupid problem to be having, but it's a problem nonetheless....When I replace my headlights, the damn things keep cracking. How tight are the screws in the retention ring supposed to be? I have been bottoming out the tabs on the ring, but it appears this is too much. They always...

    fiberglass nasa hood

    I have been looking around for the same, but haven't actually pulled the trigger so I can't give any firsthand info.  VFN has good customer reviews as far as fitment and quality (on other cars).  Let us know what you go with. http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/71-73mustang.htm...

    hella aux driving lights wiring question

    Hang on-  So that 3 way switch has 3 wires: I'm guessing they're 12V+ (in), switched low (out), and switched high (out).  If you dont care about being able to switch between high and low, just figure out which wire is the switched output when the switch is set to hi, you can just cut that wire...

    302 oil pan depth

    I have the same problem...5 qt only brings my oil level up to the bottom line of the normal range on the dipstick. I tried to get it to read as full one time and it took about 6.5 qt. I figure a little low is better that way too much so I just use the 5 qt level and keep a close eye on it...

    Brand of these wheels

    they look like mine. They were on the car when I bought it, so I don't know model number, but the centers say AR on them. They were on the car when I bought it, so I don't know model number, but the centers say AR on them.

    73 vert

    It's what I would do if I could get away with it! It's definitely had a respray, but it looks to be pretty close to the original color, since there aren't any obvious color differences in the door jambs, under the hood, etc. Well except for some rust of course ;)  Hard to be sure without...

    73 vert

    I have been lurking on this forum for a few months now, and figured I should actually post something for a change. Purchased this convertible over the summer on a whim.  I have never done any work on a carbureted engine before, so this is a new experience.  Hell TBH I had never even driven a...

    Copy of Ford Manual Hoisting, Jacking & Towing

    So what is the number two crossmember vs. the number three crossmember?  I have never heard those particular terms before....
