    Setting caster

    Hi guys, got around to setting the camber today, so thought I'd check the caster, not done since I rebuilt the front end a little while back. Got one of those bubble gauge things which says to turn 1 wheel 20deg out, set bubble to zero, which I did, then turn wheel in 20deg (40 from turn out to...

    Guys, I can't remember if you screw the little adjustment screw in the vacuum inlet, on the modulator, in or out to make my FMX box shift slightly later? Thanks.

I know all struts are not identical in length, but It's just to get me in the right ball park for the ride to...

    Edelbrock carb/throttle connection 71 351c

    Hi all. Had a Edelbrock carb and manifold for a good few years now, on the 351c 2v. When connecting the throttle linkage, original cable, 'ball type' push on thingy, it's always looked like the cable was too long, and always had a curved bit between the firewall bracket and the cable bracket (on...

    Hydraulic lifters/pushrods

    My '71 Mach 1 (351c 2v) was parked up for nearly 8 years, although I regularly started it and ran it for 5/10 mins, just to keep the internals coated in oil, also changed the oil filter once a year. Now it's back on the road, it's not running 100%. Got a little puff of smoke from the left hand...

    Greetings from London - UK!

    Hi all! Been a member on the site for a while now, but not formally introduced myself yet, so thought I'd tell you a little about my car! 1971 Mach 1, 351c 2v with FMX box, fibre glass wings and bonnet, Edelbrock 650 carb and manifold. Probably the most unoriginal '71 on the planet, but I love...

    Hi all. Now we all know our cars have a slightly nose up stance, mine especially as I have fibre glass wings and bonnet, so I want to lower it slightly, but without causing problems. So my question is, if I cut one coil out of the front springs, approximately how much lower would the car sit? I...

    1971 upper cowl cut out

    Hi guys, long shot I know, but...... Having had the screen removed on my '71 Mach 1, this was found! Wondered if any of you was chopping up a 71/73 fastback and would sell me a cutout patch panel to replace? I'm based in London, but the part would be shipped to Florida where I have...
