    351 Cleveland losing prime

    72 Mach1 is losing prime in the gas line. I replaced almost everything in the restore. New gas tank and lines, new mechanical fuel pump and carb. I cleaned the sending unit but didn't replace it, I have a new one now to put in but I just don't think that is my problem. I got it cranked and it...

    Carb losing prime

    I have a 72 Mach 1 with a 351 C 4V. The carb keeps losing prime. I've put new fuel line from front to back, new mechanical fuel pump, new gas tank, New carb, and even put an electric fuel pump right at the tank. I can pour gas down the carb and eventually get it to run and it runs great. Cut it...

    Rear Interior Panels

    OK, so I have the sail panels all figured out. Thanks for all the help. Now I have an issue with the rear interior 1/4 panel covers. There is the metal trim strip that holds the package tray down behind the rear seat and a strip of metal that goes down from that strip along the side of the rear...

    72 Mach 1 Sail Panels

    I am finishing up on 3 or 4 year restoration of a 72 Mach 1. I am down to the sail panels and I'll be done. Course, I can't remember how everything goes back in. Does the package tray go underneath the lower sail panels or just butt up against them? It seems either way, I'll need to trim the new...

    Radiator overflowing

    I've bought a 66 F100 with a 390FE in it. Just started missing around with it because I've finished the 72 Mach 1. I've never driven it but I've cranked it up many times. Today, I put antifreeze in it and cranked it up and ran it for 10 or so minutes. No problems what so ever. An hour later I...

    Window Stops

    My window stops have deteriorated. Not the metal parts that bolt on the door but the round plastic stops that bolt to each end of the front windows. I know they probably repo these but I can't seem to find them.

    hood to cowl seal

    I am looking for a picture of how the hood to cowl seal originally went on a 72 Mach1. Really just on each end of the cowl. It has holes drilled in the cowl throughout the middle but, I can't figure the sides and of course, I took it off 2 years ago.

    Repo Parts

    I bought my Q Code about 2 years ago. I started to restore it and it amazed me how many parts are not repo'd. After 2 years it amazes me how many parts have started being reproduced. When I put in my floor pans, there was a bracket welded to the bottom of the passengers side floor pan for the...

    No Fire, Go Figure?

    Today was the day, after two years of restoring, I planned to back the Mach 1 out of the shop. I have been running the car for a year now in the shop while up on blocks. I put the wheels on it and lowered it down off the blocks, try starting it and it will not run. Now ain't this grand? It's not...

    Gas Pickup

    I put a new gas tank and new fuel lines on my 72 Mach 1. When I got it we were running it off a bottle therefore the mechanical fuel pump was working. I never could get it to pump gas after I installed the new tank and lines. I put an electric fuel pump between the tank and the hardline and...

    72 Brake Caliper

    Does the bolt that holds the hose to the caliper on a 72 Mach 1 have a copper washer on the bolt head and on the bolt after it goes through the connection on the hose before it goes into the caliper? I think it's called a banjo bolt? I only had the one copper washer and it's leaking between the...

    Sound deadener

    What did the factory put as a sound deadener behind the back seat? I read in here about using 1/4" foam above the headliner. That worked great as an insulation and sound deadener. I was thinking of going to something like that under my package tray and between the trunk and seat except thinner.

    Mach 1 Package Tray

    I bought a new package tray for my 72 Mach 1. I need to change the color to black. It's sort of a board like material. Do I need to prime and paint it or just use the plastic paint interior dye on it?

    Lets Talk Sparkplugs

    I have a question about plug gap. I have a 72 351C 4V. I have changed ignition to electronic with a 6AL box. What should I gap the plugs at? Should I buy the same plugs for the original motor and re gap them are should I buy a different year plug that is gapped for the electronic ignition?

    72 Mach 1 Master cylinder.

    I have a 72 Mach 1 that I've been restoring. They have two different Master Cylinders for the 72 power disc brake cars, one for pre 7-72 and one for after 7-72. I bought the pre July one and it bolted right up but the brake line connections didn't fit. So I figured mine was post 7-72. I ordered...

    Lock Cylinder replacement

    I'm trying to find the pin that you depress to get the lock cylinder out of my 72 Mach 1. I have the steering wheel off. I can't find the pin you depress to slide the lock cylinder out.

    6AL Wiring

    I am wiring up a 6AL box and I understand all the connections except one. One says "12 volt positive for first RPM" , I already have one wire going to the positive side of the battery and I already have one wire going to the switch 12 volts. It's brand new and this is what is written on the...
