I swapped mine over to 73 frame mounts and the 73 motor mounts. The 73 Frame mounts are a different height than the 71-72, so if you don't want to be too tall, change the frame mounts too. kcmash

I am in KC also, hopefully we can meet up sometime. As for rear gears, I have a 351 4V with a Edelbrock Performer II intake and a Holley 670 Ultra 4 bbl. I run a toploader 4 speed and 3:25 in the rear. It has plenty of pep off the line and drives nice on the highway too. I can cruise at...

If you remove the windshield washer fluid bottle it will come right out through there. No need to even loosen the AC belt, the shroud etc. kcmash

Question, is that a 71 or a 72? Is it a Sprint clone? True Sprints only came in 1972. Kcmash

So I just pinched the contacts on mine. That was definitely the problem based on the charring on the fuse terminal. Anyway I increased my pullout force for the fuse by 4x easily. I tried shaking the fuse holder severely and had no intermittent lighting. Hopefully that keeps the contacts...

Ok I just did a garage test. Yes I have a relay system. It has a 30 amp fuse in the power line. When I shook that around the lights come on and off. I am VERY unimpressed with the fit of the fuse. It was quite warm when I pulled it out, and the fit is very loose. The fuse never”snaps” in...

Has anyone ever solved this problem? I thought I had the solution, but I am stumped as the problem is still here. When driving with the headlights on, the headlights will turn off and come back on intermittently. Some seems to be vibration related, but It does it at stops too. High beam or...

Change that oil and add zinc or use a zinc rich oil before you wipe that cam!

No, I still have it.

There is not. Lares is working to reproduce one, likely next year for a release.

Yep, mine is an 11/70 build Mach 1. I have the metal sport lamp sockets, and that rubber leading edge strip that is the subject of this thread. Fun stuff! kcmash

Today, just got her off the jackstands, connected the battery and went for drive. Kcmash

Noted. With hood pins too. ;) Don't worry everyone, my wife lets me know I am wrong every day. After 28 years together, I get it! kcmash

Looks Like 60 to 80 ft lbs for strut rod torque

You might check the torque on the strut rods at the crossmember too. kcmash

Hello team, I made another call to Lares the other day. The deep voiced customer service guy that says they won't do it let me talk to the parts manager there. The parts manager at Lares said they are working on a 71-73 coupler, but it is still 6 months or more down the road. Not sure if...

I never thought this would be such an endless nightmare. I have confirmed the Lares tilt rag joint will not workon our 71 through 73 cars. I have searched for someone to rivet mine back together. Both Lares and Borgeson refuse to rivet mine together and refuse to sell me rivets. I tried...

I glued cheap black carpet to mine. Looks great! My car isn't concourse anyway. kcmash

Rio, To settle the question, can you please confirm that the Power steering splines are large enough for the 71-73 Saginaw steering boxes? I also notice that my original is a 3/4 in ID on the Steering box side, but it has a flat area with no splines 180 degrees from the opening where the...

I have a brand new reproduction one. I used my original. Shoot me an offer. You pay the ride from 64014 to you. kcmash
