I realize in the end this is my.chioce but I am interested in some opinions. I have a 73 but the striping is the 71 72 look. The wheels are also not the 73s at the present time. There is currently what I assume is an aftermarket rear bumper on it without the guards or strip. It's in nice...

When you come home at 12 midnight after being outside in 5 degree weather trying to help a neighbor and your wife informs you that the kids jazz shoes which are tan at the moment need to be black by 7 am in the morning for a dance competition ........bet my family is grateful now for the ups...

My Speedometer needle was bouncing above 50mph. Ordered the "concourse correct" cable which I believe is about 61 inches long. The retaining clip on the end didn't fit through the hole in the firewall a s it's slightly larger than what I have on the original cable. If needed I can enlarge but...

Is there anyway to tell based on symptoms if the Speedo needle bouncing is caused by the gear in the tranny, the cable or the Speedo itself or does one start with the easiest thing first and move on from there? In my case the Speedo needle is stable up to about 50 mph and then swings or bounces...

I'm about to pull the parking brake and either clean it or replace it if it's shot.  Mine wont hold engagement.  It will do so sometimes and other times it wont catch. Can someone fill me in a bit on the wiring that is supposed to go to the parking brake light switch on the brake mechanism?  My...

My starter is getting a bit "tired" and I was all set to tackle the problem this weekend with a new mini starter in hand.  Had no issue removing the upper bolt but the lower was rounded and I made it worse.  I cannot get a vise grip to even grab on it now.  I have soaked it with PB Blaster now...

My starter has been turning quite slowly and my battery (which I thought was the culprit) seems to be fine.  So, I am upgrading to the PMGR.  I see many have bought from DB Electrical and the price could not be more attractive at $47 with the Summit racing unit around $200 or so.  Now that some...

I got these photos from my car's original owners second wife (she is apparently a second owner of him :).  I had purchased the car from someone else two owners later. She sent me original pictures with faded writing on the back.  The one with the owner (Randy) in the driver's seat says on the...

Once again Dan (72 HCODE) has been a huge help in squaring away a few things on my car that so called mechanics either missed or didn't care to address. I do some work myself but have had the car looked at by shops over the last few years as well. We corrected a number of minor issues that in...

Quick questions. I need longer carb studs due to a spacer install. 1. On a stock 73 351 4V manifold what diameter, thread type and length are the studs (5/16ths)? 2. Is there a good source for longer ones (I'll check Summit/Jegs etc. Lots of offerings. Need to check how long they really...

I have a relatively new Edlebrock 1406 on a stock manifold with a 1973 351 4V. The car is believed to have a non stock cam although I do not have the numbers. Mild at best. New fuel pump. ignition conversion. No more points. The problem I have seems to be very common. The car starts great...

I have to thank Dan who is on here as 72HO. He was kind enough to look my car over and went even further. He prevented a likely "flatbed" moment by diagnosing a charging issue and he even had the right part "in stock" for the repair. Thanks again Dan. Your help and advice is much appreciated.

I posted about blocking off the EGR passage (below) and using the Edelbrock carb I have now until I change the manifold to accommodate it. I have considered getting the correct 4300 carb and bolting it to the stock manifold. Other than the cost, if I do that what other parts should I be...

Does anyone have a method to block off the hole(s) in the EGR passage on the Manifold side of a 73 351C? I assume the hole or holes cannot be left open to the air and there is no harm in blocking them? I plan on changing the manifold at some point when I can do it myself but for now, I would...

I replaced the 1406 Edelbrock carb on my stock 1973 351 CJ intake with the identical unit figuring since this would be my first carb it would make the easiest swap. I also have a Ram air set up and did not want anything higher as I just have enough clearance now. I pleased that now all the...

Well, I got around to installing an NOS battery tray this weekend and found my rust free car is not quite rust free. The area below the tray is pretty well rusted out. I do have an NOS replacement inner fender skirt but no welding skills. Just how big a job is this to turn over to a body...

Two weeks ago, (after having the car sit for two weeks) when I started it there was a puddle under the a/c compressor/power steering which did not seem greasy and dried quickly with no residue. No further leaks once the car was running. No strong odor and at first I thought it was from the...

Look like I'm going to be doing a little work on the rear end and upgrading some components. I have a 73 Mach 1 Q code. Assuming I want a stock ride height and appearance of the springs would Eaton be a good company to go to for leaf springs and the associated hardware? Am I looking at a 4 or...
