Copy That! Nothing comes apart or goes together well without a cold beer IMO. In my case It's only a hobby and I enjoy the moments tinkering off the clock. Paul

WOW! Super Nice I'm Jealous. Nice Work Paul

You have bad grounds probably like everyone else that hasn't cleaned them. You can check the battery voltage with: Engine off Engine idling and at different RPMs to see whats happening. Paul

I think the pumpkin color is "Red Oxide Primer". I'm a Permatex No.2 guy with a thin coat with gasket. "The Right Stuff" with no gasket may be viable also but it's expensive. Rule of thumb is coat seals with whatever lube they are used in. I wish you could have checked the axle flanges for...

David Look into renting a "hand crank telescoping portable forklift". I had to use one a few times for hoisting up pillars and beams for bearing wall remodels in the past. Good Luck Paul

Reaching here: You ARE NOT using an after market serpentine belt set-up that is turning the WP backwards? You DO NOT have a Marine Reverse Rotation WP installed? Covering all bases Paul

I'm not familiar with 'Free play" between flex plate and torque converter. The converter gets bolted directly to the flex plate. They are saying after the bell is married to the engine block there should be a bit of play between the TC and the plate so the TC IS NOT pushing on the crank. Paul

the hole in the factory restrictor plate is abt 3/4 inch if I recall correctly or perhaps larger. I'm running a Windsor T Stat with stock restrictor with no issues with stock radiator and flex fan however I would like to find the cleveland stat. Paul

I'm using "The Superior 500" Walnut Chrome 3 Spoke. I think it's 16-17 inches Period Aftermarket Correct. Paul

I think Don nailed it^^^ A blown head gasket, cracked head/block you would see steam out exhaust or the bubbles that rise to the top of the radiator that pop and release exhaust.

No Bubbles is great news!!! Back in the day my Stant cooling system pressure checker would also test radiator caps by means of an adapter and perhaps your cap is just letting the coolant out at low pressure? A temporary catch bottle would test for that. I know this is frustrating but it...

Still wondering if the cooling system is being pressurized by exhaust? You should do the look for exhaust bubbles test I mentioned earlier that would explain the coolant loss out the overflow. There sounds like there is still an issue with the T Stat/Restrictor post a photo of that. Hope its...

^^^Agreed where is the coolant going? Leaking it, burning it or its getting into the oil are the three choices. Remove the radiator cap Do U see bubbles coming up to the top of the radiator with engine running? Not unheard of for something to be up with the water pump impeller. Paul

So Ive had a mechanical oil pressure gauge installed for awhile now. In the morning I would crank the engine for 20 seconds or so to get the oil pressure up before Id let it fire. There would be 60 psi cold and then warm 20 idle 45 max. Lately when the car sat for 20 minutes or so I had...

Test thermostat to see if it opens and when by putting it in a pot of water on the stove and verify with a meat thermometer. Paul

yes 351C Highly recommend Holley 750 DF DP 1779 for manual trans,cam,headers HO engine. Paul

Connected to speedo cable to sense cruise speed to introduce exhaust gas into induction. WHAT A GREAT IDEA! NOT!! Engines were being ******** to meet emissions what a waste. By 73 the HP was way down. I helped my father S Can all the smog BS that came on the cars we owned with pleasure and...

Installed a used Holley 4779-9 750CFM DP after rebuilding it and jetting it back to factory specs. Old carb was Eldelbrock 1407 Night and day difference!!! :D Highly Recommended IMO! Paul

P13 from Data link above for 73 Wiring http://www.7173mustangs.com/images/1973_full.pdf EGR CONTROL MODULE Paul

A bit of rewiring involved for starter/solenoid combo... Thought it was worth mentioning. Paul
