    Hit the worst pothole in my life....help..

    it the worst pothole in my life (driving for 52 years) on the passenger side front. Drive home car handled fine but lots of metal noise. Jacking it up today the only thing I can see is an apparently bent lower control arm. These are the best pics I can get in the tight quarters. You can see...

    I took the mustang for a ride tonight, wish I had not.... Did discover the ac works fine even under acceleration with it set on outside air but when switched to max air the problem pops up, vents cut out and ac comes out defrost. BUT i hit the worst pothole ever and now have another problem...

    A/C Vacuum direction??

    certainly talking about the ac cannister. I put a vacuum gauge on the output nipple, the one that goes to the ac control panel (in car). With engine running it shows vacuum, when engine shut off vacuum drops immediately to zero.

    Grave Yard Carz

    show is good except for the silly singing, dancing and other "acts". That is why for those kind of shows I always liked FANTOMWORKS. No silly stuff

    A/C Vacuum direction??

    If I put a vacuum gage onto the small output portion of the air tank and run the engine I will show vacuum on the gauge. When I turn the engine off should the gauge still show holding vacuum or go to zero when engine is shut off?

    A/C Vacuum direction??

    well I put in a new (repro) cannister, still have the problem but not as much I think. Will try an in line check valve. I assume if the cannister is not up to snuff then under acceleration the vacuum is either cut off from the cannister or drawn back into the engine? Thus the check valve in...

    A/C Vacuum direction??

    vacuum cannister in place so perhaps it is not functioning correctly, time for a new one? is there anyway to check the check valve operation?

    A/C Vacuum direction??

    Putting this under engine, etc. as I think it is a vacuum situation. Driving today (HOT) I noticed that when I am cruising along ac is coming out of the vents as it should. Upon acceleration the ac is coming out of the deforst area up into the windshield. Is this some sort of vacuum problem...

    Carby selection

    When I bought my car 2+ years ago it had a Holley 750 that drank gas. I tried a Holley 600 and they engine did not like it, went with a Summit 750 and it now runs great and, I think, gets decent gas mileage. Through my research I found that many say the 351c likes a big carb although all...

    Factory hole in side of head

    Actually twice I have discovered that "hole" is a secret spot for hiding a dropped screw or nut. It goes in then hides under the lip as you go crazy trying to find the part. Then, getting out a mirror, you find it under the lip of that "hole" as the hole is laughing at you while you dip in your...

    Rebuilding stolen convertible

    No idea if you can make these work for a '71 but these were on my 2014 Mustang and you can have them minus the center caps. You would have to come up to Jasper to get 'em Click on this first picture for a photo album

    Hood scoops 71 Mach 1

    in the mean time I wonder if a chain or cable could be used as a safe guard.....Before this Mach 1 my last restoration was a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, see picture. They used a safety chain (also pictured) because the Met had death deifying speeds (almost 50 mph...downhill lol). I wonder if a...
