I got in a bunch of parts today for the 71 mustang.   Front lower control arms, sway bar links, inner and outer tie rods and some other misc stuff. My question is, do I have to get a spring compressor and relieve the tension on the springs to replace the lower control arms? Thanks Jim

This would be a sweet upgrade as well. A 4R70W in an AOD case that doesnt need a computer to work. https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/xx-3/

Im in Florida.  Looking for a Good rust free NACA hood.  Original metal only. Thanks

Spoke too soon. We have a small leak on either the heater hose, bypass hose, or radiator hose on the water neck. So Im gonna let it cool off a bit and go twist on them some more and see what happens.

Thanks Mac, I was looking for that. Were all done. Let it run 15 mins, no leaks. Now we need a decent test drive to make sure it holds at full pressure.

Ok I figured it out. Next...

still thinking One thing I do know, theres a stud that goes in the bottom hole.  Thats the only thing I had in my notes. this seems to be the best picture i have.  

It goes somewhere on here? How, I have no idea.

Yea DonC, I know what it is, I just dont know how it mounts.

Ok I'm stuck. I have this bracket and I don't remember where it went.  Help!!!!!! Some how, the bracket above goes OVER? the power steering pump bracket?  I swear I have no Idea why I didnt get a picture of this bracket before we took it out.

Damn I wish I had time to get it looking that good. What is the hose right of the vacuum advance?

one question I should know but dont remember. Which bolts should get RTV? I put it on all the long bolts. I did not put it on the 3 short bolts. If I need to go back and do the 3 short bolts thats fine, I just need to know.

Were making good progress now.  My son spent an hour and several cans of brake kleen to get the timing cover somewhat clean.  Clean enough for now. We could have done so much more, but I am staying focused on the task at hand.  If I get carried away, I will pull the engine. lol So instead of...

Yea I took not enough pictures.  I took notes, but jesus that's alot of bolts. There must be 25 to 30 or more. But anyway, it's out now. I have it soaking with degreaser now. It's incredibly nasty. Amazing thing is, it was the original water pump. DOOE casting. Damn thing lasted 50 years. Cant...

Today we started on changing the water pump.  I never dreamed it would be such a pain in the ***.  I see why people used to ***** about V belt systems.  Ive never dealt with a v belt set up before.  I had to take the alternator out, the radiator out, loosen the ac idler, loosen the PS pump just...

Thanks!

I sat in the black car. Its pretty nice. The center console is not attached to the floor, but everything else looks to be in good condition. https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0120-397454/1971-ford-mustang-mach-1-fastback/ It will probably bid up to 50 or 60k since its a 429 4 speed. The one to...

One thing we should all consider, is getting a direct powered headlight harness. It makes our 50 year old headlight switch work with hardly any load going thru the switch. The power from the switch only operates a low power relay, and the power comes straight from the battery. You could also...

Last christmas I got my car a Complete new brake system. Wilwood front discs, converted from manual to power and completely rebuilt the rear drums. As for Next christmas? Well If im really good this year, Maybe santa will bring me a hot 347 stroker and a 4R77W overdrive in an AOD case with...

I was 7 years old in 71. These cars immediately caught my eye. I remember everyone complaining about how hideous they were, but I thought they were the coolest thing around. I never changed my mind and I still love them. In High school, the band at school bought one in 1982 and raffled it...
