Hello Everyone, Finally getting back on my 71 Mach 1 restoration after a break. When I bought the car it was in pieces and not all pieces were there or correct. I do have a set of disc brake spindles but I'm not 100% sure that they are correct. The part numbers are: D0ZA3107C and D0ZA3108C...

Thank you!  That's exactly what I needed to know. Scott

Hello All, Last year I bought a 71 Mach 1 that needed to be brought back from the near dead.  I've got the engine and trans out right now as I work on getting the engine compartment cleaned up and everything out so I can repaint the engine bay.  While I'm waiting for that to get finished I'd...

Thank you, I'll be checking that out too! Monterey

That's an amazingly detailed thread.  Tonight after work I'll take a more in-depth look at it.  Thanks for sharing that! :goodpost: :coolphotos: :thankyouyellow: Monterey

Hello! I'd like to keep my original PS pump, just have it checked out and rebuilt.  It's a Ford/Thompson style, 1971 off my Mach 1.  Can anyone suggest a rebuilder they have personally been satisfied with without breaking the bank? Thanks! Scott

I'm with ya!  Can't wait.  High Def IMAX I'm hoping!

Don,  Thank you for creating this easy to use tool.  I'm in the middle of an engine (351C) and transmission (FMX) rebuild and looking to change my rear gears too.  This helps take some of the guesswork out of it all.  :thankyouyellow: Thanks again! Scott

Thank you to both Don and Hemikiller for advice on how to remove the old bushings.  I've done something like that before using my sawsall and I'll give it a try! Scott

Stanglover, Thanks for the sketch, it does a good job of explaining. Scott

In trying to decide which path to take I called Summit and asked about the Proforged 102-10076 idler arm.  I was told that it's been discontinued by Proforged.  :( Scott

Hello All and Happy New Year! I'm working on my 71 Mach 1 with power steering and checking and replacing all the suspension and steering parts showing signs of wear. The existing idler has Ford paint markings on it so I believe it is the original idler. I bought what I believed to be the...

"Rotors are in general, pretty cheap these days, probably not much more than the labor to turn them, so why bother." My problem is finding affordable "quality" rotors that aren't made in China where who knows what kind of steel is in them.  For $20 I can have original Ford or domestically made...

I believe so, but they are a bit rusty.  I have to clean them up first. Good point though!  Thanks! Scott

Jay, thanks for the info, much appreciated! Scott

Hello, I need to have my rotors turned and they are off the car and in need of new bearings/races.  Do I need to remove the bearings and races before taking them to the brake shop? Thanks! Scott

Are the bearing surfaces in good condition? It’s a little hard to tell from the pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello Everyone, I'm in need of a passenger side disc brake spindle for my 71 Mach 1.  Possibly the driver's side as well. Thank you!!!   :thankyouyellow: Scott

You may have seen my previous post about the Ford slotted aluminum wheels. I'm trying to decide on wheels for my 71 white Mach 1.    I'm wondering if I can run at all four corners Magnum 500s that are 15x8 with 4 1/2" back spacing.  I already have two nice ones this size. Thank for helping me...
