    Another Dead Starter- Not the Starter After all

    Car: 73' 302 4bbl automatic Early this spring I noticed my car would take forever to crank over. The starteR would keep spinning but the carburetor was having trouble getting fuel. Fixed that with a carb rebuild, but noticed the starter was having trouble after that. Brought the battery in and...

    Valve bodies and late shifting

    Been a while since I posted, it is currently winter here and the mustang has been wrapped up since November, so not much to talk about. However, tax return season is here, and I would love to spend some dough on the mustang. I rebuilt the transmission and everything went well, but the car...

    71/3 Mustang on TV Show

    Hey all! Not sure how many of you watch FX's Fargo. The second season just started and I just started watching the recording. I figured it was cool and very unexpected to see a 71-73 Mustang being driven by who seems to be an essential character in the show. I am not sure what year it is...

    Who wants to.....

    So, here you have it- my ultimate dream car. Maybe not necessarily this one, since it seems a bit too rare to drive around and rack up miles. I know these cars are expensive, but I think I could settle for one that is not "optioned." HERE is the link

    Manual Valve Broken

    So I just finished getting the heavy work out of rebuilding my C4 transmission due to a broken intermediate band. Now, I am focussing on the valve body and noticed that the "manual valve" is broken. I cannot find any new ones online, not even in valve body kits. I know someone who does some...

    Another C4 went

    c4 Auto Transmission So about one week after I put the engine back in after new paint and a larger carb/intake, the transmission went.. First I couldn't put the car in park and it was shifting late.. I got home and put blocks under the car so it wouldn't roll. Now my "P" is neutral, and...

    Bad Dreams?

    Has anyone ever had bad dreams about their mustangs? I dream a lot, and I do have an imagination, but these dreams have to go! Dreams where I go into the garage and the paint is all rusty or scratched. Or ones where the car was stolen or lost. Or just last night when there was a storm and my...

    Thermal Vacuum Switches

    As many of you know I have done a small engine overhaul. We put everything on the new intake that was on the old intake (2bbl switch to 4bbl). Now it idles rough and we suspect that there is a vacuum leak on this part or it is faulty. I have already read the thread Under the Hood Mysteries and...

    Small Engine Overhaul

    I just purchased an Edelbrock 4v 600cfm Carb #1405, and a 4v Intake (#2121). A perfect combination for my needs. I realized that this would be a perfect time to actually pull the engine out and do a nice paint job with new valve covers, air cleaner and maybe some headers! I have never done this...

    Windshield Decal

    Have you guys ever thought about putting a windshield decal on your car? I figure it is just vinyl and would be easy to take off with a razor blade and heat gun. I was playing with a decal maker using "7173Mustangs.com" I wish I could see it on a 73 coupe. The one I made can be found HERE Do...

    New Pics

    I finally got some pictures that have a good backdrop- a state park. I feel the green grass really makes the color stand out. This is also the first time I used a quick detailer spray (Mothers Brand) I was always weary of using them, thinking it will put small scratches in the paint, but so far...

    License Plates

    So I am curious, and this may seem like a dumb topic... How do you guys feel about front license plates? I love the look of the front of these cars but every time there is a front license plate it ruins it for me. I live in a state where both front and back license plates are needed, however I...

    Before and After Accident

    Just came across two pictures that happened to be side-by-side and really show how much different the car is after the accident. The body shop did a great job and the exterior is in great shape. Though I hated the fact I had to wait a year to get my car back for something that was not my fault...

    In the future >Top end kit

    If I were to get the Edelbrock Top End kit #2091 (on jegs) would I need upgrade the headers and exhaust system with it? If so what would you guys recommend? I prefer the original sound of these mustangs. I am a newbie on exhaust but I do know it is important to match the size to the power of...

    Rear Bumper Guards

    Does anyone know where to get new chrome bumper guards? Mine are the originals sitting on a new chrome bumper and it just doesn't look right. Never mind the fact that the passenger side guard looks like someone deliberately starched it with a key. It has been like this since I got the car. I...

    Carports

    I am having too much trouble looking for a carport/portable garage that is a good price but can withstand heavy snow. I am torn between Rounded Canopy Garages and steel/metal carports that don't have any sides, just a metal roof. I only have $800 max to spend but I want something that I can...

    Bad Water Leak

    So I noticed that my car had a ton of water on the passenger side floor after we had a rainy day. Today I took the hose and found where the leak was and I couldn't believe that I found rust and holes above the passengers feet where the "heat box" is. The water is coming from those vents under...

    New paint- soap type

    Just a quick question, my car was painted and I was told that I could not wax the car for three months. That's fine, however the only car wash I use is Mothers California Gold Wash and Wax. I believe this soap just enhances the wax that is already on the car but I am afraid that it could...
