as part of my resto, i removed the wiring harness that goes to the rear of the car. it looks like it is comprised of four sections. 1) first one is a single black wire that connects into a red connector facing off to a green wire in the dashboard above the steering column. What is this for ...

hi all - as i'm working through my restoration to do list, i will need to get my booster refurbished at some point.  It seems from my reading, that most folks go to Booster Dewey, which is probably economically sensible if you're on your side of the pond. But for me that may not be a cheap...

Hi all After posing a few questions on the forums for which I am incredibly grateful for the depth of knowledge, I have decided to migrate my restoration build to a proper thread, to help me stay focused, and to share my journey, with the hope that I arrive at my intended destination. Where to...

hi, i've seen some bad reviews (CJPP etc) on the motor mounts currently on the market. Given I'm in the UK I don't have the luxury of just whipping them back in the post. Was looking to place an order for parts and wanted to see where anyone had purchased motor mounts which were factory spec and...

ok color then... ;) I stripped mine of paint today, it was blue, probably aftermarket as the thickness was 1inch or greater. I put some red oxide primer on it, before i go and paint it wanted to confirm what colour was original factory paint. I was originally going to go with eastwood chassis...

hi, just wanted confirmation from anyone with a 72 Mach 1 that the below is aftermarket and not an original Ford part. I don't see a Ford or Fomoco logo anywhere. That said, were originals 6 finned like below, or 5 ? I've seen some and can't tell. If it is not an original, I may be interested...

hi all, i am planning to remove my engine and C6 auto transmission from my 72 Mach 1. Long overdue, i've bitten the bullet and am around 60% there with removal steps followed using a number of written sources, although they miss steps hence my questions. I am hoping the more experienced of you...

hi folks, I'm restoring front suspension and brakes on my 72 Mach 1, and wanting to know what paint you use during restoration of the inner wheel arches (also inside fenders come to that). I see a number of potential options including Eastwood Under hood black, rubberised underseal paint, and...

Hi all Great forum, I should post a quick introduction..... I have owned a 1972 Mach 1 for about a year, importing it to the UK from the US (history of car - Seattle origin, finally residing in California), I just liked it for its originality. Although it was sold to me as a one owner, 13K...
