    New to me 1972 Mustang convertible

    Hi Stan, I got your radio sent yesterday, make sure it's what you want, no worries, I use two 4 ohm ungrounded door panel speakers with 45 watts each from the Retro radio, my walmart left door speaker was somewhat overwhelmed, when the weather is warmer, and my back quits hurting, I need to...

    1973 Special paint Convertible on Ebay

    Hi everyone, I have finally completed my re do of a "73 vert, a puzzle to me was what does "special paint" code translate to? This car had been so beat up, painted, otherwise trashed until I bought it, it wasn't entirely clear what the original color was, probably red? That's the color I went...

    New to me 1972 Mustang convertible

    Yes, it came out of my project car, and looked original, but I noticed it was not on my marti report for some reason, I found the same radio on eBay several years ago and sent that one to Retro radio, they replaced the inside with an updated system that’s amazing, so I have no need of the...

    One last last thing that gave me a laugh, I don’t see the radio on the marti report, curious as i think it came with it.

    New to me 1972 Mustang convertible

    Hey Moosestang, I pulled this radio in the pics out of my ‘73 very as it was scratchy when using the knobs, had low power, but worked otherwise and took a chance to update with Retro Radio, it took them about 4 months, they always took my calls, we’re very attentive, especially on details, they...

    Waze is a good traffic app that gives a heads up on what’s on the road, pretty amazing really, especially speed traps.

    Could it be front end lift at 100+ mph?

    I changed out front springs to one inch lower, added strengthened the front/rear stabilizer bars, strengthened the front lower spoiler, Ram Air 351c 4V, the stang actually does pretty well 100 mph, I have not tried hard braking at that speed, but steering feels ok, I need to change out to a...

    1972 AC car blower motor replacement

    You might try F type transmission fluid, one can place in the blower motor a small amount by way of the vent on the top of the fan blower housing. I experimented with many different lubricants for a hideous noise coming out of what I thought was a bad bearing, 1/4 cup was an immediate cure and...

    Ram air operation

    Awesome advice, the carburetor is an edelbrock electric choke that I know nothing about, I did close off the vacuum as you suggested, the snorkel is open. It's not much better, "pops" when I get down on it to pull into traffic, I'm getting now as it hesitates turning left, etc, I do not want it...

    Ram air operation

    hey many thanks, the snorkel is vacuumed controlled as well, I blocked it off ( to keep it open) and the problem of stalling was much better, but not completely. I checked the ram air vac line down to be sure it was exiting the manifold, still puzzled.

    Ram air operation

    Hi, my ram air 351c engine is "air starved' as the vacuum does not drop fast enough to open the flappers causing a brief stall when I punch down, any ideas?

    Tired motor

    I’m just a carport mechanic, but your engine is definitely not firing on all cylinders, I’m sure you’ve done this but check the re check the distributor cap ( make sure it’s not cracked), rotor, points, wires, etc. I’ve seen water/debris in the fuel line do this, so re check the fuel filter...
