Use grade 8 bolts to attach the clutch to the pulley. Be sure to install the brass bushing, if one is furnished with the clutch.

Motorcraft GR540B is available on Amazon.

I agree, I installed mine with used quarter panel extensions and a reproduction rear bumper from NPD. it was assembled without any issues.

Correction it was the right tailpipe I had to twist. I will be replacing the turndown tip on the right one piece tailpipe to to compensate.

I used the NPD factory system with Hush Thrush turbo mufflers. I had to twist the left tailpipe to clear the left non-staggered shock and factory 1/2" sway bar. Otherwise the install went well.

Yes the extra padding under the steering wheel definitely makes it more comfortable. I used one of the plastic perforated covers underneath for padding.

I took the 2 spoke steering wheel to the next level with a hand stitched leather cover.

Just think of the crush washer as a 1,000 psi “O” ring.

Finally the 73 rear quarter panel end caps are different from 71-72 caps.

I also used a repo 71-72 rear bumper.

I just removed the plastic filler on each side. Then filled the 2 screw holes and used the 71-72 bumper brackets.

A few final assembly notes: Be careful not to lose the Detent Spring. This is the conical spring on the Selector Lever Shaft. Also be sure the Flat Detent Spring is under the nut on the Selector Lever Shaft. This spring was left out in the 1971, 72 & 73 Ford Service Manuals. See the attached...

Today I finished rebuilding my 3 speed 1972 manual shifter. The bare metal was painted and all moving parts were packed with Mobil1 synthetic grease. This makes it better than new. I am using new shift rod studs and brass clutch rod bushings oh the Z bar from Auto Krafters in the rebuild ...

I used Rust-Oleum Silver Ultra High Heat (1200 degrees) Paint from Home Depot on mine. They are still look perfect after 500 miles.

Mine is rated for 90 seconds discharge. I only used 10 seconds, so it is still in service as a backup to the new halon extinguisher I recently bought.

Also pay attention to heat loss. No. 1 usually is un-insulated garage doors. No.2 is the ceiling. No. 3 is the walls. and No 4 is the window(s). Mine is fully insulated and I leave the door to the boiler closest open about 1 foot. It stays at 55 to 60 all winter in NJ.

I am pleased with my NAPA rebuilt starter. Make sure it is the one for the manual transmission as the pinion depths differ.

I believe this is true as long as you don't go crazy with the carb. CFM. Mine runs very strong with a 600CFM vacuum secondary Holley.

Oops, that's Everstart not Everlast :)
