Never mind. Right after I posted this thread, I found another thread here on the site that pointed me to the part. It's called a Radiator Air Deflector Seal. NPD has it...

I need to replace this "seal" that closes off the gap between the radiator and core support. Arrow is pointing toward the part in question. Hard to look for one on-line when I don't know what it's actually called. What is the correct name? What is it made of? Plastic? Rubber? Not sure...

Anyone have a nice rear view mirror laying around that needs a home? I'm looking for one to put in my '73 F100 to replace the rather small one that came with the truck.

Not worried about abusing the starter. What I am concerned about is spinning the engine when it's completely dry. I don't want to damage anything. The main thing I'm worried about is the cam and lifters. I read somewhere that cam and lifter lubrication mainly comes from oil slung off the...

Only an uneducated newbie would pay such high prices for junk. Those look like $500 parts cars to me.

Thanks, Sheriff41. The engine doesn't have much run-time since it was rebuilt. The shop ran it to check/set timing, fill and burp the cooling system, etc., and then I drove it about 25 miles from the shop to home at speeds varying from 0 to 45 MPH. Definitely not broken in yet! I'll pick up...

I need advice on "first start" for a vehicle that's been sitting unused in indoor storage for about 6 years. The engine is a stock 302-2v. The long block was overhauled, the vehicle was driven home from the shop (about 25 miles), and then just parked. I just rebuilt the carb and installed all...

Since you have to drop the tank anyway, just replace it. Your original tank is over 50 years old and is bound to have rust and corrosion inside. A new fuel tank is not expensive. I just bought a new tank for my '72 convertible off eBay for $133 shipped. This is the tank I bought...

I have arranged to buy a restorable radio bezel from a fellow member. When I have some time later this year, I'll look into modifying that bezel to mount my DIN chassis Kenwood stereo. If it doesn't work out, I'm not out much money.

I have acquired the horns I needed. Thanks for all of the leads, gang! (y)

Instead of messing with an HEI system, consider using a Pertronix Ignitor. It mounts inside the stock distributor and requires only a minor wiring change. MUCH easier and cleaner than trying to fit a different system. I have them in my '72 Mustang and '73 F100 pickup and they've never let me...

I just bought a set of repro hood springs from NPD for my Ram Air hood. I've never replaced hood hinge springs before. How is this done? Do I have to take the hood off and remove the hinges from the car, or can they be done in place? Any special tools required?

The two circled holes in dtmasoGT5's photo are not original. Some previous owner must have had something mounted there, or maybe they planned to add support to the DIN chassis radio with some homemade brackets. There isn't a good way to get rid of the holes, but they could be "hidden" using a...

Anyone have a single DIN chassis stereo in their '71-'73 Mustang? How did you mount it? Is there a ready-made bezel available for this swap? CJ Pony Parts used to sell one, but that was years ago and they no longer list it. An internet search did not turn up anything. I guess I could modify...

I just bought a pair of Ram Air hood springs from NPD and paid the big shipping charge. I do a *lot* of shipping in my various hobbies, so I'm pretty familiar with today's shipping rates from all of the major shippers. That NPD shipping cost is way out of line. Those springs just ain't that...

I got one from fina89 the other day as well. Definitely a scammer. <DELETE>

My '72 convertible is Ivy Glow with Argent trim.

My '72 convertible came with electric seat back releases as part of the Convenience Group. When either door is opened, the seat back releases are supposed to activate. They used to work properly. At some point they developed a problem. They cycle on-off at about a one second rate...

This video prominently features a '71 or '72 convertible in a parade at 1:48.

Looking for low and high tone horns. OK if they need to be refinished. They just have to work. Thanks, Dean "72conv"
