    1973 Grande Deluxe Marti Report

    Thanks very much for all of the input. For the record my Mustang has neither rear sway bar or staggered shocks. Oh and on another note, I don't think my functional ram air hood is stock either. At least I have not seen a picture of another 73 Grande with it...

    1973 Grande Deluxe Marti Report

    Interesting information. Glad I did it. I see my car was sold to a fleet. Perhaps a rental? Can anybody tell me what the competition suspension was. I had never heard of it.

    The skinny on distibutors

    I agree completely with Mikes73. In terms of cost, performance, and reliability that combination is hard to beat.

    I have never seen one jump or have heard of one jump. I have been a certified mech-a-neck for almost 30 years

    Distributor and Ignition Info Thread

    I don't mean to over analyze here but the statement made about points wearing and causing your timing to advance is purely false. As your points close up due to wear, the timing will actually retard. Personally I would not purchase a product in which a error such as this is made. If they...

    I don't have the idiot lights, but if I was pretty sure the temp light would bulb check with the engine in cranking mode. (starting the engine)

    Occupations

    I have been a professional automotive technician for 25 years now. The first 23 were with small independent shops, the last two with a GM dealer. I LOVE driving my Mustang to work these days!

    Body side moulding trim

    Here are some pictures of the right side of my 73. The strip that runs along the body line on the door has lost its plastic inset. Any ideas on where to find this? Or do I have to replace the whole strip? Either way, I am unable to find anything as of yet.

    1973 302 Backfiring. Can't figure out why.

    If the timing fell that far off, you likely had the distributor gear roll pin sheared. The dist gear is a press fit to the distributor shaft and is further secured by a little roll pin. I'd hate to recall seeing how many small block fords have done this over the years. Usually happened on...

    Holy crap! Did the rear axle lock up and do that... or is this a failure of another component?

    71-73 Ford Mustang 5X LED Gauge Cluster Light Kit STD

    I put the superbright LED's in mine using the maximum brightness level and stock color. The bulbs I got were kind of yellowish and I had to use the original blue diffusers. The end result was brighter lights but not as bright as some of the photos shown above. In hindsight, I should have...
