    Leaking Tranny Fluid

    Another source of leaks in an FMX is where the shifter linkage shaft comes through the side of the trans case.  There is a "how to fix" write up on this site that is very detailed and shows how to reseal this shaft.  It is my understanding, the reason for the leak is when the motor is running...

    Let the be heat....

    You are absolutely correct about ice dams.  Had an issue with them over a portion of my work area next to my garage bays as the sun never really hit that portion of my roof.  Had a commerical company install air baffles & ceiling insulation.  No help.  Went on line to learn about ice dams. ...

    Part Identification

    I'm the original owner of my 71 Mach.  My car has this same plastic clip on both passenger and driver side fenders.  As best as I can determine after asking numerous owners & judges, it only came on the 71's.  Hope this helps.

    How to remove a 351C water pump

    No need to remove the timing cover.  After you strip you motor down to the actual water pump and removed all the bolts you take a rubber mallet and smack the snout of the water pump a couple of times.  Because the only thing holding the water pump on after all the bolts are removed is the...

    Road Trips - Hotel Parking lots. Do you feel your car is safe?

    Well, there is always the risk of waking up the next morning and finding you car gone. Sorry to say. One thing to consider, is contacting your insurance company before your trip to find out "what if" happens. How good is your coverage? Have you had a professional appraisal to confirm what...

    What is your background story for your interest in these cars?

    Back in 1969/1970 had a 1966 K-code coupe.  Fun car, gave it to my dad when I left for active duty with uncle sam (big mistake - but that is another story).  Coming home off active duty a few years later I spotted a 71 Mach sitting in the corner of a small dealership.  Turns out it was a demo...

    Thanks for the heads up on ebay.  I was hoping to find a good used one, but I may just have to bite the bullet and buy NOS.

    Mustang Mach E

    Years ago when Ford was considering replacing the Mustang with the Probe, fans flooded corporate offices with letters.  The shear volume of letters convinced Ford to back off.  Maybe its time to drop them a line.

    Cars you wish you had back.

    Boy, it was the spring of 1970, I was leaving for active duty with uncle sam, so I gave my dad my 1966 K-code coupe to him to use as a work car.  A few years later when I returned home, he asked if I wanted it back.  I remember opening the trunk and seeing the shakles (floor rotted out) and the...

    73 Mustang Noob

    FYI - one quick & dirty check to see if you have a Cleveland or Windsor is the spark plug size.  Cleveland has a 5/8"hex, where as the Windsor has a 13/16"hex.

    How old were you?

    .......hmm....at the risk of looking like the oldest member of this site...I bought my '71 Mach as a returning GI in the spring of '72.  It was a left over demo, had 5,000 or so miles on it for $2995.  Hung my dog tags on the rear view mirror and drove it home.  It now has around 40,000 miles on...

    Rattle Can Hint

    OK, I think that we have all been there, use a new rattle can of paint, then set it on shelf.  Later maybe a week or more you pick it up shake it good only to find that when you press the nozzle down, nothing!  Plenty of paint, you can hear as you shake it but the dog gone nozzle is plugged up...
