Has anyone ever solved this problem? I thought I had the solution, but I am stumped as the problem is still here. When driving with the headlights on, the headlights will turn off and come back on intermittently. Some seems to be vibration related, but It does it at stops too. High beam or...

I am going to pull my tilt column for a rebuild. I am planning to put a reproduction Turn Signal switch in, but I notice the repop comes with no terminals on the wires. I do not want to cut the wires off my original tilt column switch harness, so I am looking for anyone who may have an old...

OK, last time I drove the Mach, she had a slow crank after driving a few miles and trying to restart. Now if I try to start it makes a sharp clunk like the bending is engaging and I loose all power to everything. I check with a digital Volt Meter and find 12 volts at the battery, the...

I am asking for a little help here. Does anyone have a sure fire method to press a new block side heater hose stub into the block? I got the 5/8 replacement from NAPA. The machine shop said use a socket and drive it in, it should be easy. But I am having some challenges getting it started...

Is there a good way to bench test the original style competition plus shifter? Since my power train is out I decided to freshen up some linkages and bushings.  The shifter on the shelf was a lot tighter than the one I had been using.  With the tranny on the floor I can't get it into reverse. ...
