    What color is this?

    I am considering changing the color (from black) on my '73 Mach-1. I saw this on line and wasn't sure what color it was. It looks slightly like a metallic gold. Does anyone know the actual color?

    '73 fender extensions (mounting)

    I was missing a fender extension on the passenger side. When I ordered a new set, this is how it arrived. It has three "tabs" that obviously go into the three holes located in the front of the fender. On the bottom of the piece, is a hole I figured a bolt would go through; only there's a no spot...

    Looking for a healthy street cam (4v-351c)

    When I got my '73 Mach-1, it had (and still has) too big of a cam. I am looking to simply looking for a healthy street cam for a daily driver. I like a little lope but not looking for a choppy idle. Unfortunately I don't have the cam specs. When I look at the paperwork, it just says it had an...

    What's it called and where can I get it?

    I am missing this from my '73 Mach-1. I don't know what it's actually called so I'm having a difficult time finding for sale. Missing the one on the right side (passenger) but I'm willing to buy both if they come in a set. Does anyone have any info that may help? Thank you.. Mike

    Points vs MSD electronic ignition?

    When I bought my '73 Mach-1, the guy I had purchased it from sort of "mismatched" a lot of parts. It has a 10:1 4v- Cleveland, too big of a cam but I don't have the specs, 650 dbl pumper with no choke (he actually removed it) c6 with 3.50 gears (one legger), And 3" exhaust. As for the ignition...

    427 Cleveland?

    Reading the description of the 351 Boss block from Summit Racing (M-6010-BOSS351BB) is said it comes in either 9.2 or 9.5" deck height as well as accepting a 4.125" bore as well as a 4.250" stroke. So one could easily build a 427 Cleveland. Is there any reason why one wouldn't do this...

    Headers: FPS, Hooker Comp, Sanderson? 351c 4v

    I really love my mid length headers on my '68 mustang (393w). The problem is that nobody makes them for my '73 with a 4v Cleveland. As for long tubes, what would work best with (for now a C6 and down the road a TKO-600)? Anyone have any opinion on Sanderson shorties? Thanks.. Mike

    Just changed intake manifold..

    I just changed the intake manifold (from Torker II to an air gap). Now, when it's idling, if I quickly blip the throttle, it surged then revs up. It has a lumpy cam and I'm having a difficult time figuring if the is a vacuum leak or a tuning issue.. And ideas?

    Do-it-yourself elk hunt?

    I am just curious to see who might have any info on an elk hunt. I have heard Colorado was the place to go (I'm sure there are other states as well. Just what I've heard). Anyway, I am more than willing to take my bow but I was really thinking of taking one with my rifle the first time. Does...

    Aftermarket ram air hood?

    I can't seem to find it, but someone here had an aftermarket ram air good on their car. It looked stick but it was about 2 1/2+ inches taller. I am looking at an aftermarket intake (EFI) and would like a few extra inches for safe measure. Does anyone know who makes it/them? Thank you... Mike
