Have you bought and thoroughly read the book on these carburetors?

"FMX's have a problem with the pressure valve sticking in the pump. It's due from lack of fluid changes. If all else is ok, you can drive it that way but it will need a rebuild soon." The pressure regulator valve train in the FMX is located in the valve body. The best way to check for any...

Quote: He said the "clutch plates stuck or bind together" causing the idle speed difference. You're kidding us, right?

Usual cause of this issue is too long a time in the carb dip, or possibly the modern fuels affecting the "O" ring. I've fixed it in the past by removing the plug, threading the hole and using a shallow plug. Have also plugged the holes the fuel transfer tube goes into, and made the carbs a dual...

As many of the under carriage and in the trunk as possible.

I'm very interested in this car. Would it be possible to see more pictures? Regards Don

Too bad it's not in 1/24th scale to match the '70 Boss Mustangs, and others in the series, '70 Pontiac Trans-Am for instance.

Did you check the "park" switch in the motor assy.?

I'm going to assume that the reverse valve body was a full manual type. In most instances, the governor circuits in the case, or the governor itself would have been modified. Perhaps the governor valve is sticking. What did your trans shop have to do to swap in the conventional valve body? What...

What is the code stamped into the cluster? It's usually on the bottom.

Welcome from Prince Edward Island, Canada!! Hope your plans for this car work out for you. Would you happen to know of any '71-'73 Mach1 project cars in your area that the owner has lost interest in?

What carburetor are you running, Swice?

I machined an adapter once to use a late 70s Olds Quadra-jet. Not a direct fit but it worked very, very well. How much do you want for your current 4300D?

Do you get the noise anytime the engine is running? Is the noise only there in drive and reverse? Don

Have you considered a 90 elbow fitting to thread into the case and accept the tube nut?

If I may be permitted to offer a few suggestions. First off, the factory service manual is the best deal for the money you will get in this hobby. Please consider purchasing one. Secondly, your problem of no upshifting in "D", and of shifting 1-2-1 when manually going through the positions is...

I guess I'm a bit late to the party on this C6 build. For any future builders, a good source for heavy duty planets is the E4OD. The diesel truck programs have given us planet carriers stronger than anything installed in any CJ powered vehicle. They fit the C6. As an added bonus, you get a...

Okay!! My apologies for not making myself clear. My intent wasn't to drag up all the political drama, nor the economic woes from the 1970s. My intent was: if Ford had kept the '71 to '73 body style until 1980 or '81, what would likely have appeared to compete with the GM "F" bodies? Pontiac had...

How do you think the Mustang would have fared in the pony car wars of the mid to late 70s? Now the big if here is; what if Ford had continued the '71-'73 body style right through to 1980 or 1981 as GM did with their "F" body. Pontiac led the way through most of it with the Trans Am and Formula...
