    Lock Cylinder Replacements

    Sooooo my Mustang has been broken into... They didn't take anything, I guess nobody wants 8tracks lol.   So they punched the lock cylinder on the drivers side.  I was just wondering if there's a reproduction lock cylinder that can be keyed to take the original key. I really don't want to change...

    New ignition coil question.

    She's giving me a hard time starting this year. I'm starting with the ignition coil and spark plug wires. My question is  on the side of the new ignition coil it says " 12V use with external resistor 907". Is this something I need to worry about. I read some cars don't need the resistor...

    Power steering pump ERUPTION! [Update question]

    So my power steering pump spits fluid out of the fill tube with so much force that it has ejected the Dipstick. I believe based on research that there is air in the system. I jacked up the front and turned the wheel back and forth with the motor off. The level dropped so I topped it back up...

    Back for the Summer after a terrible Mustang weekend.

    Every year I try to fix a couple things before I begin the season. This year my boss offered to tune my carb for me in exchange for some yard work he needed done; he's really good with this stuff, has a track car he's always tuning. To make a VERY long story short •New accelerator pump...

    Advice trouble shooting my carb (stalling)

    So embarrassingly I don't know much about carbs. Its burning rich but the main issue is she stalls out when accelerating from a stop. Its almost like I can find the flat spot where chokes with the gas pedal. Sometimes It seems like if I give her more gas quicker she gets past the spot (but...

    Long time no see guys!

    What would it take for you to sell it.

    Recently I've had people say I should sell my 73 and use the money to buy a house. Including my parents who gave me the car. The only one who says keep it is my girlfriend. Currently I own an apartment and can't wait to get into a house but not at the cost of my stang. Basically my question is...

    Quick question for a knowledgeable person.

    In what circumstance does a 73 coupe have the lower chrome trim but not the trim around the wheel arches. Im under the impression that you get all the trim on the base model (which I'm pretty sure my car doesn't have a single option past blue glow paint) then of you got the decor group you'd...
