Total rookie question here, so please excuse my stupidity. I'm trying to pull the dizzy out of my sons 351C. I've read you need to remove the hold down, which I've done, and a bolt. Where is the bolt located? Photos or a diagram would be really helpful. I'm upgrading to an MSD distributor and...

Those honey-do lists! Always interfering with our car bonding time!

So, here's my plan. I've been soaking the base of the dizzy where it meets the block with PB Blaster for the last few days. I'm going to take the car for a run to heat up the block, blast the exposed dizzy base with Locktite Freezone, shock it, then see if I can't get some movement out of it. I...

I recently completed a restoration on a '73 fastback for my son. His first car. We pulled the motor during the process but didn't rebuild it as it ran O.K. (No smoking, compression in the 132-151 range, stock motor, about 90,000 miles. Never rebuilt that I know of.) The car ran even a little...

Thanks David. If I can get it out I'm dropping in a brand new MSD. That's a BIG if!

So I just finished my son's '73 fastback. Came out great, but the distributor appears to be frozen. No biggie. It was running a hair advanced, but still ran well, so thought I would tackle it in the Spring...until the head gasket blew. Now I have to pull the heads. It's my understanding that...

Went with Classic Auto Air. Love it! Very powerful and about as difficult to install as I anticipated. Not a simple plug and play, but not horrible either. Pick a half a day when you have nothing else to do. DEFINITELY bench test before installing just in case.

Another great idea I hadn't thought of Jeff! I removed the console on the hump, so I have lots of room. I'm so far along at this point though I'm more inclined to try using spacers and longer bolts to move the e-brake over. I'll try to document and post everything when I'm done. Thanks everybody!!

Yeah, I picked up a pair of guides. Cutting out the size of the hole for the guide to go into is critical as is the position of the hole itself. That's why I was hoping somebody potentially had a template.

Got my set up from Dallas Mustang. Talk to Chris. Fit like a glove. No problems.

Great ideas guys! Now I'm all fired up to get under there to see what I can make work!! Thank you!!

Has anyone tried installing speakers in the kick panels of a 1973 fastback? It doesn't seem possible. It looks like the E brake would be in the way. I have some 5" Focals I want to install up front. Has anyone come up with any other inventive solutions? If so, please share. Thanks!!

I saw these on Ebay, but it's very different than mine. Mine does not have a nipple at the top. Instead it has a slot that runs all the way through both sides as the pics illustrate. Do you just leave the top nipple open?

I found this part located inside the air cleaner on my sons' 1973 Mustang fastback. It has a 351 Cleveland in it. I've switched over to a RAM air hood. This part was on the inside of the old air cleaner. It had 2 vacuum lines running to it that had been cut off. I believe it's a air cleaner...

Thanks to all. Sorry for the late reply. Just realized they moved my thread to the newbie section. Thanks for all of your suggestions and welcomes!! Tom

I switched out the flat hood in my son's 1973 Fastback to a true RAM Air hood. The windshield wiper nozzles (squirters) are different on this hood than the original flat hood. Can anybody please send me a few pictures of how and where these should be installed. Much appreciated!

Hoping someone can help me. I bought new aftermarket rear quarter panels for my sons '73 fastback. They do not come with the cut outs for the rear seat belts. Does anyone have a template or any kind of dimensions that would tell me the size of the opening and its position? It would really be a...

Thank you for all of your help! Just bought the pair on ebay. Great forum! Great response time! Thanks again for the help. I'll post pics when we finish her up.

David, please let me know exactly what you have and how much you're asking if you're interested in selling. Thank you.

Perfect! Thank you so much! Does anybody have a spare convertible top switch they are willing to part with? This doubles my chances of finding a replacement. Very much appreciated!!
