    Instrument cluster bench test

    I think I had two by that time... The car has been on the scissor lift for three months now. Just these little jobs left of hooking up some interior pieces to get the car completed and back riding on its own rubber. Just a dumb mistake. The hardest part was finding new 4 amp glass fuses. I had...

    Instrument cluster bench test

    Yes. Figured that out this morning.... When in a rush, take a step back and think. All good now. Thanks.

    Instrument cluster bench test

    Just going through a bit of this now. Changed out my gauge cluster to the Hi-Po LED’s, worked great. Then changed out the original AM radio to an AM Cassette I had. Now the 4amp gauge cluster and other lights fuse keeps blowing... I’m wondering if how I hooked up the AM Cassette to the original...

    Like / dislike of 71-73 Mustangs

    I have never cared what other people thought about the 71-3’s... I like them, would never own any other. Nothing wrong with the 73’s either....

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    So it can be fixed. Good.

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    All the tech guys here that have walked away from the 4300... Interesting. I would think that the carb on my car must have been reliable having been on the car for 48 years before finally giving out. It would have been swapped out years ago by previous owners if they had the problems that some...

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    Ok... However, not willing to throw it in the garbage because some don’t like this carb. I’ll keep at it and hopefully find a way to bring it back to life. Process of elimination. Once you put another carb on it, the originality is gone... Thought I would try here to see others experiences in...

    Sports Roof interior panels

    Yes... You bring back some bad memories for me with those crap panels. I swear, they were so bad on the fitment, you have to wonder what the company was thinking. What made it worse was their initial refusal to take them back, stating that I was the only complaint they had received.... In the...

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    Well that’s inspiring, lol. I’ve heard about the concerns with these carbs, what can you do when you are trying to keep it original. I was pretty careful when measuring the float tabs. The main inlet required a 1/16th adjustment and the auxiliary was fine. I personally do not see the need for...

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    I plan on it, but, apparently it has been fine for 48 years. It is the original fuel pump. The only thing I changed between the pump and carb was the fuel filter. It was an old Motorcraft filter and I put on an aftermarket. However, thinking about it more, this is also when I blew out the...

    73 - 4300D Gremlins....

    I’m chasing a stubborn flooding problem on my original 4300D carburetor. After having it a part a couple times to check for obvious signs of possible issues, I’m still having the problem, Basically, the car fires right up and as it is warming up, the carb is generally operating fine. About two...

    Black deluxe door panels with speaker cutouts ($175) NOT MINE

    Took me three years to find a near NOS set of 71 vert rear interior quarters and yes, they do not have the seat belt retractor cut outs and because my car did not have the interior upgrade (maybe referred to as the convenience option package, can’t recall right now); no passenger side ashtray...

    4300D, ugggh...

    Thx. Steve. Makes sense.   I used a two part epoxy and it held today to at least let me get the car running and warmed up. However, it is still bubbling fuel out the top of the carb near the accelerator pump. It appears the carb needs an overhaul. I am going to buy a remanf. One for the time...

    72 Mach 1 - 351C - What goes through this hole in the firewall?

    A quick look at my 73 Coupe shows a rubber plug with a brownish wire coming out and connecting to the harness on the driver side of the engine behind the carb accelerator cable bracket.

    4300D, ugggh...

      After three straight months working on the car and completing some major routine maintenance that hadn’t been done in years before I got the car and while up on the rack.. I finally was ready to start it up today. Cranked it over waiting for gas to reach the carb and also allowing the oil...

    Was color was the original PS Pump Reservoir?

    You would have to talk to the guy in Tucson AZ who owned it... Do they even have grass there to cut? this was "matching" AC idler pulley... I was not aware that parts were interchangeablegable between John Deere and our car's. learn something new every day!

    Was color was the original PS Pump Reservoir?

    Maybe, it was like this from the factory? As delivered to me on my 71 J Code Vert in 2015... It was black under this colorful example.

    72Mach 1 - Heater hose through the firewall. Is there something missing?

    Yes. this is my original foam pad I reused on my refurbished AC/heater box. I could not find a suitable replacement when restoring my J Code Vert. This is a very heavy and dense foam material and certainly works to keep things out of the interior... It is installed on the inside of the car.

    Front shock upper rubber isolators so deteriorated that....

    Special people? Ha. Your responses are always special... Re read my post. I never had an issue in the early days having the suspension hanging. No spring issues either, but nice try. Carry on.
