Great pics, Guys!  Thanks!  Although, now I am second guessing.  Yes, I believe I have that part.  That is where the speed nuts are currently attached.  And, in Kilgon's 1st pic, it looks like it has (or had) speed nuts at those holes? I attached some pics below. One shows where the speed nuts...

Thanks for the help.  I'll move the speed nuts up to the flange from where they have been, but looks like I'll need to drill some new holes in the flange first, since only the passenger side holes line up with the screw holes beneath.  What was confusing about this is the parts diagram I have...

Finally getting around to installing the new dash pad that the previous owner purchased (Dashes Direct) for my 71.  The dash was not installed when I purchased the car, so I didn't take it apart to see how it goes together.  The new dash pad assembly actually seated pretty easily with the 3...

I need some help understanding proper function of the intermittent wiper system. My 71 came with intermittent wipers, only they don't really work. From the left stop, the switch scrolls a ways before it comes to the first position. Then there are 2 more positions before it comes to the right...

Sounds good. Thanks!

Just following up for those that might be interested. Apparently, you can't bench test those temp sensors with a vacuum source, or at least not the way I tried it. The installed temp sensor is connected to vacuum on the running engine, and it's running fine ... does not seem to have caused a leak.

Did you have any clearance issues with the MDL clutch cable and the Hooker headers?  Looking into an FMX to T5 conversion with my 351C 4V and Hooker headers.  They are not on MDLs list of compatible exhaust systems. Thanks!

Looking for an intermittent wiper module, and a pair of the hinges for the heavier ram air hood.  Thanks!

OK. So, if I understand this correctly, one side of the temp sensor is supplied with manifold vacuum, and the other side goes to the snorkel vacuum motor. When the engine is cold, the temp sensor allows manifold vacuum to pull the motor door closed, routing warm air from above the exhaust...

Thanks!

Thanks for the link! Very helpful. Is the vacuum valve? with the 2 tubes in the center of the cleaner something that’s reproduced? If it’s available, I’d like to replace it.

Does anyone know if the various air cleaner vacuum fittings are reproduced anywhere, and if so where you can find them?  I know the small breather filter is available.  I may have the others (you can see one in the pic), but they have seen better days. Thanks!

Completed this project today.  Car starts and runs good.  Still needs a road test.  But, for those using a P1 with factory tach and aftermarket carburetor, I thought I’d share what worked for me. I believe the brown wire may have originally connected to the solenoid on the factory carb. I...

Awesome! Thanks, Don.

Thanks, Everyone. Yes, I intend to use the 1.5 ohm Flamethrower 1 coil. So, if I understand correctly, I should be able to perform a straight swap with the stock coil, same wiring as I have, and all should be fine? If so, that would be nice and easy.

Hi All, Several threads out there on this topic, but didn’t come across one with a clear answer to these questions. When running a Pertronix 1 and a factory tachometer ... 1. Does the tach require use of the red/green wire with resistance from the ignition to the coil for proper function? A...

Thanks, rackerm. Interesting. I don’t have a Boss, but those look like the right colors.

? I like it! So, after quite a bit of work wet sanding with 600, I was finally able to reveal enough of the stripes to see the general color, although the whole thing needs refinished, so they will need to be repainted. From the transmission side, it looks like 3 large stripes (pink, red, and...

Thanks, guys. Guess I’ll keep looking. In the meantime, this car is a 71 H-code with FMX, 3.0 open axle, if anyone happens to know the stripe config for that combination.

Wow, rackerm! That turned out great! Good idea with the PVC pipe, also. Problem I have is the driveshaft is covered with a combination of undercoating, black paint, and rust. I was going over the top with lacquer thinner until I started to see the stripes underneath, and stopped. Still...
