Where were you 30 mins ago! Lol…I probably wouldn’t have pulled the carrier. Lol, yeah you are spot on. We pulled the carrier. And sure enough the clutch housing and side gear splines are not lined up. Now how to fix? Possibly install both axles and hold one and turn the other? Not sure we can...

All, This may be lengthy as I need to explain the problem well. 1972 Mustang 8” rear. Son and I rebuilt the third member installed new 3.80 gears limited slip, new bearings, seals etc. took our sweet time setting up the thing to make sure we got it perfect. Completely removed the axle cleaned...

Nothing stamped, only cast into the shaft itself. I went over the thing with a magnifying glass today.

Anyone? I cannot find crap online about this cam. It has cwc forge markings and 1208. My best guess on the numbers are 633790 on top and 40329 or 10329 on the bottom.

My son picked up a rebuilt 351C 2V and I cannot discern what cam is in it. It had been sitting for 10-15yrs so we broke it down to check it out I have attached a photo of the stamped numbers on the camshaft, whoever stamped it was drunk or something as second stamp is barely legible.

It’s done. A little more residual pressure in the pump than I anticipated. However the oil was indeed low. i topped it up and the pump is quiet and it blows cooler than when I started. I certainly appreciate your help. Thanks for your time! Ron

Thanks for the reply and assurance that I won’t lose my full charge. I am a little confused about the steps as when the oil plug/bolt is removed it will immediately purge the pump. Your steps say to purge after checking the oil level. I don’t see how that is possible unless I didn’t comprehend...

Hello all, I finally got around to charging the AC on my sons 72 mustang. All went well initially, but after I shut it down and let it sit for an hr the compressor is making a grumbling sound. I added oil initially before charging the system and it was at a level of 1” After charging it was...

Just a bit of a follow up. My son and I are finally driving this car. 1-4th gear it does ok, but 5th is a straight dog. Anything under 70mph and It is gutless. I installed a 3:40 which I assume is out of a MustangII it was $50 so I figured why not. It certainly did’t help much. so now I am at a...

So….. Ta Da! It’s fixed. Turned out to be a cut green/red wire in the headlight harness directly under the radiator along the crossmember. I would like to thank each and every one of you for chiming in and offering advice. Your help was definitely needed. I am attaching a picture of my...

I haven’t mentioned it because I assumed it was only one side of the idiot light and is a non player. Also it wasn’t mentioned as being that important Apart from naking the alt light illuminate. It does exist and is connected correctly. The diode that’s inline could be toast and I need to...

Frame ground and ground for the regulator reads 0 Ohms. Measured from negative battery terminal to frame and to regulator case. I have constant 12V on the yellow wire on connector C4 ( A terminal) F terminal which is orange/ light blue is the field wire and does not have 12V on it key on or...

Anyone?

Ok with taking everyones suggestions, verifying and Ohming wiring, replacing alternator( it was bad out of the box) replacing regulator I still don’t have a charge. Now, one thing that I am thinking is the ignition switch is out of a ‘73. There are 2 different part numbers for 71/72 and 73...

At this point I am really at a loss. I appreciate all the advice guys! I have to work away from home this week so I will revisit the issue when I get back. I have the warning lamp. Full gauge package to include tach is down the road. I will have to do it all over again when I do.

I already mentioned they were wrong in the photo…. the “somebody” was me because I was trying to match the factory diagram. Like I said, in the wrong configuration (as shown) it charges. If I do it the correct way it does not charge. Rest assured it’s correct now. If you are wondering what...

Thanks for the reply and troubleshooting suggestion, good idea. I am attaching a picture of the way my C4 is currently wired. Alternator is new and as of yesterday a new regulator is installed. The photo shows my green red and yellow they way they were when charging and they are now swapped.

So, things are not as well as hoped. I am still having charging issues. If I run my wiring as layed out in the factory schematic found here it charges however, it also drains the battery overnight. the confusion is related to the yellow white and the green red on Connector C4 to the regulator. I...

Disregard, I figured it out. Now I feel dumb for asking the question. i do need a new regulator as charging voltage is close to 17V.

Hello all, My son and I are finally driving the 72 Coupe! Everything seems to be working well apart from my charging. I am looking for a little sanity check to verify if I have the regulator connector wired properly my schematic does not have the F S A I on the regulator diagram so I went left...
