Yes. I had one completely quit. I did the same thing you did and replaced just about everything in the ignition system. I switched back to points and the car started right up. Bought a new Pertronix module and the car started right up. The old unit went bad. Unknown why, it had worked for over...

And 2nd owner? No title? I think that the corner is bent or broken. I had to go look at my 73 to see how the bumper could possible be adjusted. Not sure that this is an adjustment issue. Looks like someone hooked onto the bumper (repoman?).

I installed a 302 with a Weiand intake and a Holley 600cfm. I used the Holley Ford kickdown shaft so I could keep the rod. But I had the same thing happen to me! The throttle got stuck WOT. I thought I could lube it up and it worked for a while, but then it happened again! My cable alignment to...

Being you are in AZ, I would take Hemikiller's advice and just wire wheel (using your grinder as you described). Get some Rustbullit and just cover the rust, put down a little trunk spatter paint and clear coat it. The underside should not be a big deal as long as there is no rust. Again, being...

Sorry. I missed that as well. New tank, a satin clear. Or just leave it natural. It will not discolor if you keep it clean. Being your in CA doubt you see a whole lot of rain.

No they should be captured in the pillar. But if you have a very hard time removing the bolts, you could damage the cage that retains it. I had one that broke loose (mainly due to rust and seized bolts). I am going to cut open that side to fix it. But if yours are not stuck and the bolts come...

Strip off the black and spray it with a couple cans of Eastwood tank tone. Has the look of the galvanized metal and looks fresh. If you want concors, buy the new tank.

Another easy thing to check is to pull off the valve covers and make sure all the valves are opening and closing. If one is stuck, you may have bent the push rod. Or the cam lobe is worn off. Happened in my Pontiac.

If your spark is yellow it is weak. Are you sure you are getting the full 12 volts to that new coil? If you used the existing wire to the old coil, it is only about half the voltage. You should be getting a full 12+ volts to the Procomp coil. Try hooking the coil directly to a 12 volt source...

This is what pisses me off. Someone not paying attention or driving a wreck with bad brakes, and they ruin a classic car that can never be replaced. From the looks of it, this was not just an unfortunate bump, this car was hit hard! I can shrug and say, "At least it wasn't me." But it could of...

Soooooo.... This is not a "six year old restoration"?

Well 4 hours before close and the bid is at $9,800. Thanks General for the update. Based on your observations of the rust in the shock towers and inner fenders, I am going to pass. Would love to get a 1971 429 car, but I have to be realistic and continue working on my 1972 Mach 1 and then my...

My son's 1972 coupe had a hard time filling with gas. And this was a new gas tank! I had him pull the new tank and check the line that goes to the charcoal canister (connects to the top of the gas tank). This was totally plugged. He fixed this and the tank fills good now. He also found that...

Not only sold, but I get to inspect your work. Like it and have other harnesses that need attention. Thanks for the super fast shipping Jon.

$6151 currently. What do you think a reserve for this would be? I have an interest but limited on the top dollar funds. If as high as I think it probably is, I could not afford it. But dang would love to have this for a good future project. Then everyone in my family would have a 71-73 Mustang...

How much does it weigh? Cost to ship to Burlington NC? I also occasionally travel to Chicopee MA for work, within an hour of that location?

IS the front cross member any good? This is the one that the strut rods go through. Think they call it the front K member? Pictures?

Purchased the taillight harness! Need it for my 1972 Mach1. See you shipped it already. Thanks to midlife's clarification on the taillight harness differences I can be confident that your harness will plug right in with no modification needed.

A lot of nice work and the red and black looks good to me. Although I agree, too much red in the interior. My main knock is the sloppy wiring in the engine bay. Easy fix, but if he wants top dollar, he should present the wiring better.

Here is some pictures that I promised. Notice the valve, this baby was hanging on by a thread until I popped it with the rubber mallet and the head came off: This is the exhaust seat and port for this valve. I think this may require some checking for cracks and a new hardened seat installed...
