    Mustang Mach 1 1973 351C V2 H-Code

    Kudos on the meticulous documentation of your work. That always comes in handy if there are problems in the future....which I doubt. It will certainly up the value of your fine ride! Your work is very German!

    Car Insurance

    Like the rest of the guys, I went with Hagerty. A few questions and then they asked for the value. No hassle. Last year, I dropped in a new performance engine and tranny and I asked for $45k. They asked why and I told them of my build and it was done.

    A/C Vacuum Mode Selector Switch AC Air Conditioning

    Try to replace your A/C vacuum lines including the cannister. 100 year old vacuum lines are unreliable! I found replacement vacuum lines in 2019 but are now unavailable for 71-73. Below is a link for replacement vacuum lines for 67-68. It might be helpful...

    Install Engine with Transmission attached or not??

    I'll go against the grain on this one. I find it easier to install the engine with the tranny attached. I did it with my new 393C stroker build. However, I was also installing a new AOD tranny at the same time. It was easier for me to stab the torque converter to the flexplate and turn the...

    Holly Sniper EFI issues or NOT?

    A friend of mine installed a Sniper in his 67 Mustang on a fresh build 347 stroker. He had RF interference and he couldn’t track it down. He had the same issues you mentioned. After many frustrating hours and several stalls, one Holley tech had the solution. He had a Pertonix igniter in his...

    How bad is the 71 early 72 brake booster?

    The booster on my 72 apparently withstood the time test. I purchased it in 2018 but the braking system was rotten…..I mean the whole system! The booster disintegrated when I removed it. My 72 was assembled in February 72.

    New Radiator Install - proper block flush

    I used Prestone super flush for many years and always had good results. Change the T stat, radiator and heater hoses as well. I used filtered water from my tap. Nuff said.

    Interval Wipers

    Hey yall! I drove my 72 Mach 1 in the rain for the first time last week. The lack of modern amenities hits then. The wiper motor seems very weak and the lack of interval wipers was a pain. I did som research online and determined that retrofitting interval wipers is possible. One YouTube...

    Fuel Vent - What to do?

    eBay has a replacement for around $100. It includes the canister and mounting bracket. The charcoal would need to be replaced with activated charcoal. Using a pair of slip joint pliers, it can be done. It is tedious with medium difficulty. I did it for mine and repainted it...

    383 Stroker

    You’ll need a new electric fuel pump. Aeromotive sells them for 71-73 Stangs or they also sell a new fuel tank with the pump already installed. The sending unit is integral to the pump. You’ll also need a fuel return line along with the recommended filtration. It’s not hard to do but somewhat...

    AC this is a first for me. Not for the faint hearted!

    Classic Auto Air makes a replacement plenum box. You’ll have to transfer the vacuum motors and brackets etc but it’s new and stout. They used to make a full replacement with evaporator and heater core and all the vacuum motors etc but for some reason, no longer. I managed to get one in 2019...

    383 Stroker

    Stroke your 302 to 347 and customize your components and put throttle body EFI in it and you’ll be much satisfied with the results and have Smokin performance without the blasphemy!

    What is this part called and where can I buy a new one?

    I bought the same one for my Mach 1. Unfortunately it didn't fit at all and I had to return it. I was at the end of my web research on that part. I ended up using foam rubber insulation that has one side adhesive tape and sealed it off with that. Not exactly factory but it works great. I...

    AUTOMATIC to MANUAL Conversion parts list

    As I had mentioned in previous posts, I am also contemplating converting to a 4 speed toploader. One of the things I am having a problem with is wanting to go with a clutch cable instead of the z-bar monstrosity. This system is very complicated with an array of levers, bushings springs and...

    Center armrest console install

    Tom....do you have a C4 tranny?.....or C6? I've been trying to find something on the net that give me a dimension of the shift link location between the two. It appears that you may have a C4 and that the full length consoles were meant for the C6/FMX transmissions only?? Anyone??

    Engine running weird

    I would replace the all the fuel lines. The steel replacement lines are pre bent and not very expensive. As others have stated, replace your rubber lines with ones rated for ethanol mix fuel. In addition to overhauling your carb and replacing your filter, a new fuel pump is also suggested...
