Just wondering why this isn’t in here. 2nd most famous chase scene second to Bullitt. Ron

So, I purchased a 1.12 4100 carb that is very clean for $125. The Venturi restrictors are $24. I’ll use the primary jets from my 2100 to get it useable on a 302.  Secondaries will take some tuning. All in, even if I have to buy a rebuild kit, will be less than $200. 90% sure the throttle shafts...

When was the last time you checked your fuel filter? 

Still searching for a 4 barrel for my 302. Plenty of 1.12 carbs out there but not many 1.08’s and the ones that are folks want close to $500 for them.  My question is has anyone successfully run the larger 1.12 on a stock 302 2V? I see there is Venturi restricting rings available, not sure if...

If it was running well before the additive and poorly after then I would lean towards the additive being the culprit.  Making adjustments will only compound the problem. I am a electronics technician by trade and was told long ago if it was working yesterday and not today an adjustment probably...

Thanks to the both of you. I understand now HK I appreciate the chart Galucha! Just what I needed. I also answered my own question concerning the vacuum pickoffs. They all run off of the manifold…. See, told you I was new to these Mustangs.  

Ok, now I am even more confused, did you mean 4100 Hemikiller? I already have a 2100 The summit Carb may be the way to go, but this is a budget build with my son so a carb rebuild would be good as well as saving a few $    Chuck,  Our discussion on Saturday is what got me thinking about all...

Please excise any ignorance on my part, I am new to 71-73 Mustangs. That said I am going through my 72 and I need to either rebuild the stock 2 barrel or install the 289 performer intake that came with the car. If I decide to do the latter I want to stay with an original style carb. I believe...

I am assuming it’s an automatic, a manual trans would have allowed you to get home by bumping the idle and increase and decrease speed with gear selection and braking.   Could be done with an auto as well, just more of a pain and it may not shift out of first.  Either way a broken cable...

Hello, I am attempting to do an auto to manual conversion on my sons ‘72 as such I need all the parts you have listed.    I am quickly realizing how expensive this is. Is there a way you can come down on the price a little. This conversion is for my son’s first car and we have a tight budget...

Well shoot, maybe I should have checked first before asking. You know what they say when you “assume” something. Thanks guys! Ron

Hello Gents, Is there a supplier out there that sells a lock set just for the doors and trunk only? My ignition cylinder already has a key and is fully functional. There is no key for the doors or trunk on my car. Going off of memory Ford used a squarish key for the ignition and oval key for...

Just purchased 72 coupe. Optioned with Power Steering, AC, but no power brakes. This is going to be my sons first car. My concern is this won’t be safe, driving is a little different now than it was in 1972. I have driven plenty of cars with manual drum and disc brakes. Mostly on smaller cars...

Hello all, my name is Ron and just purchased a 1972 Coupe for my 15yr old son. It needs some work but runs and mostly works. I am contemplating swapping the C4 to a manual. Other than than that it’s a cleanup and paint and rolling restoration. I will get it safe and reliable, it’s up to him to...

Thanks everyone, car is home and we are going through it. Lots of work to be done, but it will be worth it. I appreciate the links and time taken to reply. Ron

Thank you for the picture, seems like I have a lot of sourcing to do. It would be nice if I had a donor vehicle to get everything I need in one place.   

Looks pretty good for 6 yrs of use. I read through the thread. Did you manage to make a parts list since 2014?

Hey guys, new here. Just picked up a ‘72 coupe. I do not do automatics in anything I drive so I am wanting to get rid of the C4. I have done an auto to manual swap on my ‘72 Dodge pickup, so not a stranger to the required work. I have read a few articles and even a few threads here about swaps...
