    Do I install aftermarket oil/temp/volt gauges or not?

    Look for dimples that ford used as locators on the firewall. Holes were drilled using the locaters on assembly line for added options

It was needed back in the days when only a gasket was used. Today's permatex and others sealers fix that. Myself I still use...

    brake drum retainers F-579

    Some of my cars I gathered way back in the late 80's still had them. Usually only one on each drum (back only). No need for them on the front.

    Playing with steering boxes. SPA S fixed ratio, SPA AF variable ratio. Firebird 12.7

    I had a 5 turn that I rebuilt because it started leaking and ran it for ten years in the 72 mach. Two years ago I came across a 87 jeep wrangler with a better ratio (3 1/2 turns). Took the guts out and put them in an other Saginaw box that I had laying around that also leaked. Again with all...

    I ordered my 72 new and was built around 2/72 with the AM/8track radio option. So yes Ford or the dealer supplied the teardrop. It was there till the car wash removed it...

    car vibrates/hums

    Oil change or not

    I would never break in an engine with synthetic for the rings to seat proper, and I never would break in a flat tappet lifter cam without zinc additive plus moly coating with today's off the shelf oil. I would change the oil after the first few hours to syn., and every few years no mater the...
