I wanted a 66 Fastback. We watched the Want Ads in the Kansas City Star every day. My dad spotted a 71 Mach 1 for $600 and suggested I buy it, fix it and flip it for the car I really wanted. ( My older brother bought his 71 Mach for $2000). I bought the car and it grew on me. I never did...

So based on this discussion I am considering going with a P1. I bought a new 12v Blue Streak Coil last year to go with my points system. Is the the correct coil to use with a P1 and a factory tach? Thanks, kcmash

Nope, a Boss is rare. If you want to build a custom car sell me your boss and customize something of low value.

I did not. Thanks!

Are any of the passengers fenders 73 fenders? kcmash

Yep. I got his bottom dollar. I am going to grab it and get it tuned up mechanically, redo the brakes, fix the drivers seat. Once she is driving nice I will figure a good price to sell it for. kcmash

Went to see the car in person today. This will be a nice pickup. Solid floors, frame, inner fenders and body. Very straight car. Original Q Code engine down to the factory carb. Staggered shocks and 4-speed, dual exhaust. I was expecting rust on the underside. I found a very solid car...

I think I may have the issue identified. I had evacuated the system and had a charge on it with engine #1. If you read my history you realize I lost that engine. So I set the service valves to isolate the compressor and save the charge when I pulled the engine. When I put it back in I did...

I tried to get the freon to enter today and it would not take more in. Do I need to increase the RPM to get it to suck more in?

I have a line on a 73 Mach 1. Same owner since 1988. Q Code 4 speed car, complete looks pretty nice Lot of nice original stuff like the slotted mags and power train. What is your budget ? I can go take a deep look at it if you are interested. kcmash

OK Team, I did a little more diagnosis today. Outside temp was 100 here in Kansas City, so I figure this would tell me the truth if I was chilling air. While driving there was very little chill to the air coming out of the vents, so I went home and hooked up the gage set. I was reading about...

What were you able to sell them for once they were running well?

Yes, I had the can upright this time to try to get gas only. Yes, I am opening the valve slowly. Just went for a drive tonight to check it. Of course it got a lot cooler outside during dinner, so It wasn't much of a test. I added the sight glass video to my post. To answer other questions...

Did you ever find a solution? This sounds a lot like mine right now. I do have bubbles in the sight glass and my expansion valve is frosting up. kcmash

I have the original York style compressor on my car. I vacuum tested before re-installing after restoration. I have an R12 charge on the system, but it was not very cold, so I tried adding some more refrigerant last night. When adding I was monitoring the low side pressure and the sight...

Here are some pics I have. Yep I know what's wrong with it.

Want to sell that brown console?

Those were a poor design from Ford. I have had NOS Medium ones long ago that came apart within a year. Now I am running the shallow caps on my 71 and they are holding up so far. kcmash

I have a lead on an original 73 Mach 1 4 speed car. I can either buy, fix it up some and sell, or help my old high school friend sell it to a good home. Car space is not one of my strengths. The car. Yellow Mach with ginger deluxe interior Older restoration, but a nice 20 footer Complete car...

Well I will have to check mine. I am running 15 inch 245 60 series on original magnum 500 wheels. I ordered the speedo gear to match my gear ratio, so I thought my numbers were good. I'll have someone pace me sometime. kcmash
