I wanted to improve the responsiveness of my steering so after some research and experimentation, I found an easy way to do it. All that is needed is the Borgeson steering shaft ( part #460018) and steering coupler (part #313449). The only modifications to the parts was to cut the steering shaft...

Hi everyone. I am switching the rag joint for a Borgeson u joint on my '72 for more responsive steering. It looked like it was a straight bolt on using a total control products kit that included the sliding column shaft with DD end and lower bearing housing. I have come across a problem though...

I would like to extend a thank you to everyone who has answered my posts and those who shared their pictures and stories that gave me the motivation to keep going.  My Mach 1 is very much a part of myself and those that read my introduction thread understand why...

I installed a brand new (not rebuilt) Cardone power steering pump. The pump was good the last couple of days. Today i found a leak in the back of the pump. After wiping the fluid, it almost looks like the leak is from the threaded piece on the back of the pump and not the pressure fitting. The...

There are sparks coming from the steering column and wheel. Also, now the horn doesn't work and my brake lights work only sometimes. When the brake lights don't, i press the pedal and hear a click from the gauge area, a weird "boing" sound from the glove compartment area and my dome light...

I noticed there is now a reproduction steering wheel for our year mustang made by ACP. Has anyone bought it? Does it accommodate the steering wheel lock? Does it fit without issues? Im looking to replace the whole steering assembly on my '72 Mach 1. Right now I am using a grand but I'm...

Hello everyone. I just connected the battery on my freshly built 72 Mach 1. I connected the battery and turned the key to the "ON" position to check the voltage is going to the right places. Right away I smelled that something was hot. I found smoke coming out of the back of the new voltage...

I finished plumbing the front brake system and the line that goes from the proportioning valve/distribution block to the rear flex line. I installed the new third member from Moser along with the Moser 31 spline axles. Lesson #1-Moser axles bearings are thicker than stock. This poses a...

I torqued the idler arm to center link nut today and it doesn't seem right. After I torqued it, I loosened the nut and the center link came separated from the idler arm with little pressure. Isn't the center link stud tapered and press fits itself into the idler arm? I am using a Proforged...

I'm trying to remove the panel in the picture that runs along the bottom of the back window. I tried but it feels like it's hooked on something and I don't want to bend or damage it. How do I remove it?

Hello everyone, I'm still wrenching away and I should be getting my freshly rebuilt engine soon. I have a 1972 Mach 1 with factory tach. My hasn't hasn't run in about ten years, which leads me into my problem. I'm checking my wiring and connectors and I can't find my factory connection. I had...

I looked through the past threads to see if anyone has asked but couldn't find anything. I have the long power steering hose that goes up, through a braket on the driver's side strut brace then back down and down to the gear box. Mine is in bad shape and I need a replacement. I looked at...

Has anyone effectively repaired crackled shock towers without replacing them? I have never done it myself but I'm getting different sprouts from people I have talked to. Eventually I'm replacing the whole fender apron on both sides but between then and now, I just want to drive my car with an...
