Hi all. I tried to read all the posts on the Pertronix ignitors and still don't know whether to buy a I or II. Any help? Also, can I get the correct part numbers for a 351C 2V? I know I don't want the III after reading the posts. Thanks! Kevin.

That's a cool story Speedfreak! I have a similar story but I wish I had old photos of me and the car back in the day. Mine was a 71 M code Mach I with auto trans, A/C, and standard ginger interior in Medium Yellow Gold my dad bought for me from a used car lot on Canal Street in New Orleans back...

Went to buy a new Motorcraft oil filter and I'm not happy with the new silk screen they are using. Might as well throw a Fram on it! Also, I went to get Marti Auto repro Motorcraft spark plug wires (which have always been available and looked great on my 72s and 73s) and now all he makes are the...

Thanks Jim!

That's a 1976 Thunderbird. Randy F, who worked the Ford assembly line for 38 years in the suspension and brakes division, bought the Mustang in 1973 for his wife Donna to celebrate the birth of their first daughter. All the paperwork was in Donna's name. They bought the Thunderbird in 1976 to...

Thought I'd try this. I had cold air for about 20 minutes, lol. I got an extra bag of ice and put it on my lap!

Took Ms. Donna out for a drive yesterday and the speedo turned over 8,000 miles. No longer a need to count the miles obscessively like when I got her at 7,912. Might as well drive the crap out of her now, lol.

Thanks Chris! This one is getting sold but I don't know where to post it yet. I need money too fund my many many projects and I need to make room for a car coming back from the paint shop. The car is not perfect, and I didn't take close up shots of minor problem areas. But if someone is looking...

Lol. That's what I liked most about the car! I could literally write a book about this car. Here is a picture of the original receipt when they were purchased from the dealer on 7/2/73, the same day the car went into service. $18.66 was a lot back then. They were covered in two inches of acorn...

Thanks Chuck!

Can we please get some birthday love for "Ms. Donna"? She turns 50 tomorrow and just woke from a 30 year slumber. All original and only 7,912 miles! She is all decked out and ready for new adventures. You've come a long way, baby!

So my wife has taken up "paint by numbers (God Bless, lol)!" Little did I know that it is providing me with a treasure trove of different colors of paint and brushes for show detailing, reproducing factory paint daubs, etc. Check this out!

Thanks piper62j!

Ooops! That's exactly where I piled on the grease, lol! I'll clean it and try again. Thanks for the replies! Kevin.

I disassembled a wiper motor to detail it and replace the wiring harness that was damaged by rodents. When I put it back together, it works great in both speeds but keeps running when the switch is turned off. I then replaced all the components again from different motors I have and it still...

That's so funny. I've used that too! It looks even better clear coated. Kevin.

I just saw the picture of the can earlier in the thread. Can't wait to use it! Unfortunately, I already PAID $30 + TO GET THE ONLY CAN LEFT OF SLOP MEDIUM GRAY FROM ALL OF NPD SHIPPED FROM SACREMENTO...

Hey Kevin. I found this old post and I'd like to buy this paint. I went to Walmart and they want $30 a can now shipped out of Sacramento! Can you please provide me with a picture of the can with the part number to confirm? Thanks, Kevin K.

Beautiful! What color is Dr. Harvima's car? I would think it would be Medium Brown Metallic but it looks nicer than the factory color IMO. I see yours is Light Pewter Metallic. It looks like you got the color dead on! Kevin.

Funny you should say that, DSwan. I did some research and Old Ford Blue is the Best Match to the blue on my car! Check out the photos. I took a spot under the air cleaner and put a dab of Ford Dark Blue and Ford Old Blue. Then I realized I didn't clean the old surface, so I just sprayed a little...
