Not sure that this should be in this forum or the Misc (not 71-73 specific) but I'll let our moderator decide.  :whistling: When we installed the Tremec it came with this shifter and it worked great. (The fellow I bought it from pulled the tranny out of his Eleanor). During my son's college...

Hey gang-  The garage clean out continues! Purchased these kits from Mustangs Unlimited back when they were here in Georgia.  After weighing options we decided to go with Steve's upgrade instead. 4 sets (4 pins, 8 bushings).   Let me know if you can use them and they are yours for the cost...

Hey gang, I have a like new AutoMeter model 5292 Hall Effect Speed Sensor left from the conversion to electronic gauges. Still in the original packaging with documentation. I found that I couldn't get it to fit on the Tremec 3550 due to the support castings around the speedometer port on the...

Looking for a set (upper and lower) of 73 driver side hinges to rework with Steve's bushing kit.  Please respond via PM. Mahalo! Butch

Hey Gang- This is a follow up to my previous post on gauge upgrades.   When considering the change I wanted to maintain as much of the stock aesthetic as possible, so looking at all the options I decided to go the route of retrofitting a set of Auto Meter Cobalt gauges into the original...

Forum- I'm curious to know if the 1973  gauge housing orifices for the Tachometer and Speedometer have different dimensions  than the 71-72?   My 73 housings are conically shaped with the base measurement being 4.5" making it tough to fit a 5" gauge, while pictures posted by others show that a...

Happy Labor Day Weekend, all! I'm spending as much of this weekend installing the wiring harness and cleaning up this and that as I go.  While the dash is out it's easy to find all sorts of projects that I'm sure I'll regret starting later!  :P  One of those is the convertible top circuit...

Hey Gang!   It's been awhile since I've been on, and the new look is great.   I'm hoping to get some help with a pesky fuse issue.  At this point, we have around 7,000 miles on the car since its overhaul. It had been running great with no issues. It made a couple of 300 miles trips and...

I saw this today and had to share as all the generations are here! Not sure who owns the rest, but the blue 66 coupe belongs to Mike Maier of Mike Maier Racing out in Livermore, CA. He's been a great friend and resource on our project. Barry- apologies as I couldn't get this to upload on the...

Gents, I have come upon a curious problem and I'm hoping someone out there will have the obvious answer that I am overlooking. Here's the situation: Rebuilt the heater / AC box a year ago ( Classic Auto Air Kit). Everything new inside, all gates refurbed and working smoothly. Installed CAA's...

Brand new passenger side mirror housing. I bought it to have installed when the car was painted, but the shop forgot and painted the old one , so I took the new mirror unit out of this housing and installed it in the original housing. No mounting screws or gasket, but the old mirror is yours if...

The culmination of three years of rest-modding the pony was to come to an end yesterday as we picked up the car for the paint shop. Replace the wheel opening molding and we were calling it good. That was the plan. The plan before I backed the car out of the shop and right into a fifth wheel...

Fellow Enthusiasts- I found a couple errant purchases lingering on the rack- time for them to find folks who can use them! New in box master cylinder for power brake setup. I purchased from Mustangs Unlimited and ran into the conundrum of the ages with all the differing thread combinations...

Hey gang - I'm in the process of fitting the new top frame and found this on the Fords Unlimited Car Club Website. Very nice step by step on how to replace and adjust your top and frame. http://www.fordsunlimited.com/fords_convertible.html Butch Fords Unlimited Car Club _ Tech Info _...

Hey gang- Anyone out there running synthetic F type tranny fluid in their power steering pump? Anyone see a reason not to try it? Thanks

Forum, I recently changed the power steering pump and steering box. Changed the pump as it was squeeling at either end of the turn, and put in a 12:1 Lares 807 gearbox. I'm running March aluminum pulleys. Following the installation I bled the system and it felt tight and sounded much quieter-...

As usual, the Forum members demonstrate the value of this community! All your inputs are appreciated. I've decided not to purchase this one- and will continue to look for the next "project".

We finally hit the 500 mile break in milestone, and my son is now driving "Fallout" to high school everyday. Its been quite a journey over the last two years of rebuilding, and worth every scraped knuckle, late night, weekend and penny spent to see him pull out of the driveway with the top down...

Forum- I'm working on a non-welding , in the car solution to add bearings to the clutch / brake shaft assembly and need a donor brake support member. As long as the mounting holes are not completed worn out, I can use it. Let me know!! Thanks, Butch
