    '71 Mach 1 Tires and Wheels

    I went with the 235/60 - 15 for front and rear. Mainly because I wanted a full size spare and could swap tires front / rear. As it was, for some reason, I had an issue with a replacement front wheel and as a result I had to swap it with a rear tire/wheel. Couldnt have done that if they were...

    Crites Performance Parts Has Closed

    Unfortunately I think we are going to see a lot of this as many of us older car owners age out. I've also seen some car shows discontinued because of no one to run them. People gravitate to restomods or rice burners. Just to many Fast and Furious movies as well as Grand Theft Auto videos.

    Blinker Fluid

    Also, if there is a leak in your blinker fluid reservoir you can add a raw egg to it. This technique also works for radiator leaks.

    What is this part?

    It looks like you have the part on the right. If you wanted to replace it, since they seem to be not found, you could use the one on the left, which NPD sells. I believe they typically have 3 vacuum connections.

    Magnum 500 center cap rant

    I believe I've seen caps similar to these. The issue is, there appears to be two different heights, shorter vs taller. Ads just seem to mention the 2 1/8 size diameter and not the height.

    starter related ques

    I havent checked under the car yet but since I have the starter relay on the fender I'm assuming that there is not one on the starter itself? Some mention offset so what is that referring to? Would anyone happen to have a part number for starter motor for a 71 351c that I can refer to? Thanks...

    Potential bad fuel pump?

    It should come out when you take the banjo bolt off or, if its sitting in the carb, grab it (tweezers etc) and pull it out. Its a fine mesh so you clean it or order new ones from Holley.

    Potential bad fuel pump?

    Does that Holley carb have a bonjo bolt at the fuel inlet? If it does and you remove that bolt, there is another little filter screen that is inside that inlet. Maybe check that screen also.

    quirky fuel issue for opinions

    Sheriff, Thanks for your thoughts on this issue. I checked the gauge NPT threads that were screwed into the NPT T fitting and there is a section that was not covered by the Permatex paste. That most likely has to be the issue since the 'problem' went away once I removed the gauge. Although I've...
