Bill Im not sure what U are asking but... There are 3 different engine mount "perches" (the steel bracket that the mount bolts to on the frame) 71-72 Vert 73 So...You have a 73 with the original perches using 67-72 mounts? ...no good. You need 71-2 NON VERT perches to use your 67-72 STD...

Yea I'm using an aftermarket vacuum canister that is the size and shape of a softball for the heat/ac with a check valve so it works with engine off. The power brake booster gets it's vacuum from the manifold/or/ carb fitting and the check valve is integrated into the fitting on the booster...

yes it has a spring in it. When the heater control is moved to cold the vacuum switch stops engine coolant from entering the heater core via the action of heater control valve. Paul

I believe there SHOULD be an external throttle return spring on the carb. The one on the cable is for back-up purposes IMO. Paul

I will have some available this spring and will put the word out. Thanks Paul

There is so much weight removed from the car I think custom springs are the way to go! Auto trans to manual Aluminum intake 86ed AC Bumper and brackets about 400lbs maybe Thanks All! Paul

Yea maybe springs are the way to go. My 73 has the original springs and it was level until I 86ed the original front bumper and brackets that combined weighed about 150 lbs and raised the front end almost 2 in. I was amazed how heavy that old bumper and brackets were. I installed a 72 chrome...

I don't want to mess with my springs and would prefer drop spindles. The gasser look is not for me! TIA Paul

Welcome! Looks like a great car. Paul

try it with shoes off. shoes may be adjusted out too far for assembly. Paul BTW tall shoe goes to the rear

Sweet Photos! Thanks for posting. Paul

Good luck Labor should be a few hundred plus parts. A rebuild kit with bearings, cyncros and small parts will be a couple hundred more. At least in the end you will have a fresh box! Keep us posted. Cheers Paul

Are U SURE!!!!!!!! that reverse is in neutral position??? if so than... well you are out of options I think you will have to pull the trans and pop the cover off to see whats up. You should be able to hold the input shaft in your hand and turn the output shaft while in neutral. Paul Paul

First I would check the u-joints and the lube level in the rear end. I would then check the axle bearings as they are sealed type and do not use the rear end lube. Paul

I missed the fact that you have the shifter/ rods/levers still attached to the trans. I would unbolt the shift levers from the trans and by hand put it in neutral and confirm the problem. If the trans is STILL locked up I wonder if you lost the needle bearings off of the end of the input shaft...

2nd photo is a T5 Cant tell from the photo the year or if its a world class trans or not. Paul

release the clutch.. drive shaft should turn in neutral only. Try each gear one at a time should lock up driveline. I believe it is possible in certain situations to get the trans in reverse and another gear at the same time which will lock up the trans.... it has happened to me. I used to...
