    Basic tutorial for removal of extension housing bushing the easy way on 28 Spline 3 & 4 speed toploaders

    I posted a pic of this tool in another thread recently, but considering that I have now used it for the first time I thought I'd post some extra pics and some thoughts on it. The tool is on ebay from various sellers and can be searched for under part number T-0160. This particular model of the...

    71 Mach1

    Here is an ebay link for the bush and seal - says it's for a 4 speed toploader but will be the same for the 3 speed too (for 28 spline output shaft). https://www.ebay.com/itm/330733027538 There's a chart too that might help you identify if you have a 28 spline or 31 spline output shaft. I...

    71 Mach1

    I saw this video when he posted it on youtube recently and set about finding the tool, as my tail shaft has some movement in the extension housing and my car has some vibration under load in second gear when passing through the 2000rpm range which may (or may not) be caused by the worn bush...

    Repro exterior door handles -- any good?

    I bought a pair from Maryland Mustang in February last year but only installed them last week. The brand name is "KOA"; the chromework is excellent and they fit and function perfectly. And best of all, they look simply stunning! They didn't come with gaskets; I had to buy those separately.

    Size Comparison

    It seems to be the angle the photo was taken from along with some lens distortion. Here is a cut and paste of the 65 (no changing of size) over the the 73. One thing I am sure of is that the 65 didn't have a wheelbase 12 inches longer than the 73!

    Proper Air Cleaner stickers.

    I put a 302-2V decal on mine back when the car had a 2 bbl Holley carb on it, but now that the car has a 4 bbl carb I would much rather have the 302-4V decal on it. My opinion is that if the car has an obviously different carb on it than stock then why not put a decal on that shows exactly what...

    New Member - Ford Mustang Mach 1 1973 - 63R

    Welcome from Australia, nice car! A nice thing today about being an international Mustang owner is the relatively easy (though sometimes expensive) accessibility of parts from US based vendors and ebay via the internet, and also access to great forums for like-minded individuals like this one.

    Bring cash

    I'm having conflicting emotions 🫨 The inner hot-wheels-loving child in me is screaming "purple, flares, flames, wow, this is awesome!" 🤩 If I was nine years old again back in 1975 I know that I would be staring at this car in loving wonder 😍 As an aging adult now though, it just makes me wonder...

    Cool, thanks for the quick reply! I had searched the forum and also googled but had no success.

    Clutch rod freeplay - how much?

    Replaced my z-bar today (302/3spd toploader) - is somebody able to tell me how much loose freeplay (before the retaining spring is installed) there should be be between the end of the adjustable clutch rod and where it locates in the dimple of the clutch fork? Thanks.

    Original looking new production battery apron support

    Mine has a hole in it but it's out of sight under the batter tray, but I know the hole is there and would be great to replace it. Does this apron support just bolt in or does it require welding into place?

    A Batmobile and a Tucker in an Australian car museum

    Well, by chance a few days ago I spotted an advertisement in my Facebook feed that there was a Batmobile on loan for display at a museum about an hour and a half from where I live. So today I loaded myself and my older brother into the car and headed off to the Museum of Automotive Evolution in...

    Hot wheels

    That's pretty cool, make sure when you've unpacked to post a pic of the blister pack here in this thread! Pretty sure that Jerry Heasley isn't dead; he just posted a new video on his Youtube channel 4 hours ago and is responding to people in the comments section there.

    GREAT LOW BUDGET MOVIE FOR ITS TIME REVISITED

    Even though my car is a completely different yellow than the movie car, about ten years ago I parked my car near the local auto store and as I was walking from the car to the store a man in his early 20's walking along with his lady in the other direction said "Hey, that's a nice Eleanor you've...

    Well, I'm back!!!! (though I actually never left....)

    Well, I'm back, though it's only been a day since I last posted so I'm sure nobody knew I was gone! (or possibly even knew who I was in the first place🙂 ). My previous username was Flatback72, now it is Flatback72. 👈with a full stop at the end of the username. Back in 2011 when I signed up here...

    What did you do to your car today?

    Fitted a replacement newly painted endura bumper and bumper bracket to my car. My original endura bumper had received a whack on the front of it at some stage which had flattened it across the front, meaning the leading edge at the middle of the bumper was pushed back about an inch away from...
