I added a bottle of Lucas zinc additive to the oil while I was topping it off. the engine clicking sound is now gone completely. sounds great.

thanks for pointing those things out. I'm dealing with a barn find, so many things getting replaced.

awesome thanks. I was doing some googling about adding oil to 351w and I've discovered I'm not the only one who didn't recognize the filler location.... thanks for the quick help

ok, I have to maintain some sort of dignity here with such a basic question, but I have not had to add motor oil since I owned the car, and this is my first 351w.  its very different than my 545 and 306 in other cars.  i'm not familiar with oil caps on top of the valve covers, but I see nothing...

my biggest surprise? I bought a 73 car advertised as a "sportsroof" because the VIN did not "match" that of a Mach 1. the seller had a stack of documents that I did not look at until after I bought the car and had it shipped home. the docs included the original dealer invoice from Mexico City...

I don't think the movie had budget to wreck a 69-70....

this is typical of what I see around here all the time: https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/braintree-1973-mustang-convertable/6984915963.html decent looking, around 12k. I don't think its a Mach 1, but I didn't check very hard

my mom wanted a convertible a few years ago, I got her an A4 vert....

wow. $30k for a 71-73 351 is a ton of money. its a price we would all love to see for these cars, but is not a price I believe to reflect the general market.

the fit was off by more than some time in the sun....maybe the Arizona sun would work, but not the NJ sun

in fact I printed pics from a thread on this site that showed the correct orientation. I had 3 guys, myself + 2 mechanics trying to fit the piece in place. after getting 1 side lined up, it was short a couple of inches on the other side. I can see however that heating it up might solve the...

mine is the bottom one.

in this pic I compare the spoiler sold by CJ Pony parts( the one I bought) for 71-73 mustangs to the part sold by Scott Drake. they are obviously quite a bit different

i verified the order, but there are no markings on the part at all. its just stamped plastic

I ordered a front spoiler from CJ Pony parts.  I finally got some extra hands and was going to install it today.  after trying to hold it in place based on pictures I've found on this site, the spoiler is just not wide enough to fit into place.  if I fit 1 side, its not even close on the other...

i'm planning to upgrade the rear wheels/tires to 15 X10 wheels with 295/50R/15 tires. I was just looking at my car, it looks tight. I know others have fit these size wheels/tires. the top of my wheel well is 26.5" off the ground. does that sound right? random 4 number generator

it was the seals and gaskets. not a big deal

new 140amp alternator installed. upgraded points to electronic ignition. flamethrower coil, new plugs and wires. car seems happy about it

drove the car today with replacement u-joints and a rebuilt diff. man this car is dead smooth. its amazing really. I have no driveline vibration at all now. zero. took it up to 70mph today. I was impressed. my louvres are still rattling like little bastards over 60mph, but at least I now know...

drove the car today for the first time with the 3.73. I won't call it fast, but it sure is faster. I'm glad I went with the 3.73 and not the 3.50. I actually used 4th gear today at around 65mph. with the old gearing I didn't need 4th.
