Man, so last spring I opened the door and rolled out my 73 with no ENGINE even in it, and started painting engine bay. This spring, newly rebuilt motor in there, I opened the doors, charged battery, pumped it twice, and fired right up and idle perfect! What a change 1 year can make. Heres...

Pretty pumped to have my 73 Vert outta the garage in Upstate NY where the snow never stops LOL.  So I have done most everything to this car but the tranny. I've never had one apart and dont feel like learning the hard way. One of my customers is a good local Transmission place (over 40+ years)...

I almost dont know where to start. I have decided at 58 I am going to spoil myself and build a garage to really work on stuff. I want a lift, I want a heated floor (I live in upstate NY with long winters). I have some land restrictions because I live in residential neighborhood and have zoning...

What a horrible design is the connector system for the dash cluster circuit board?  My old one was in rough shape so I bought a brand new one from CJ Pony parts. Easy to install. I plug in the male connector from car dash. Try my dash lights and when I wiggle that connector the lights go on and...

This may be a dumb question, so forgive me if it is. Transmissions are probably my weakest area of knowledge. So I have a 4 speed with what I believe is a sticky or bad syncro gear on third. Its temperamental going into 3rd either from 2nd, or downshift from 4th. A guy I know who has owned older...

Does anyone make a easy bolt on coil over rear shock that would fit the 1973 Mustang rear end? I have friend that says it would be a easy upgrade. But I cannot find them anywhere like CJ Pony parts, only FRONT shocks.  Does anyone have coil over in the rear with stock leaf springs and how do you...

Question for all. I was talking with a local mechanic about adding a driveshaft safety loop at front end of driveshaft. He said on the convertible Mustang I didnt need it because on the rag top there is a stiffening brace of some sort across the body that would serve the same purpose? I dont...

Is there a definitive way to determine if rear leaf springs are worn out? I love my 1973 but boy it rides a bit rough. My clue is if you stand band and look at it , I'd say the rear end is sitting "lower" then I would imagine it should. So I thought of getting longer shackle kits to fix it. But...

Can anyone tell me what this is actually called? It bolts on to valve cover and the engine harness can attach to it. I only had 1 before the engine rebuild job, I 'd like to get 2 more? Dont know what I am Googling for even. SOurce? Part NUmber? Thanks all.

So last Fall my faithful 351C spun a low main bearing in back of motor. I had a good pro shop rebuild and stroke it to a 408. Its dyno'd at 460HP/500FPT. I have a local shop I use a lot for car maintenance, thats good to me, reinstall the rebuilt motor. Since I had motor rebuilt I figured we...

Hi all. I have a head and exhaust question. I have 73 Mustang with numbers matching 351C Engine.  I understood/believed I had 2V heads and car was shipped with 2BBL carb. When I bought it, it had 4BBL Edelbrock and Hooker Headers. Last fall I spun a low end bearing. I had engine pro rebuilt by...

So I bought my 1973 Mustang convertible with 315C about 2 years ago. End started and ran fine but the guy I bought it from never had motor out or knew much about it internally. Its run really strong for the 1500-2000 miles I've put on it. A week ago a bad sound low end knock slowly developed...

I have this used wheel for sale. Perfect shape. I really wanted a wooden wheel so I got one. This has the hub adapter for 71-73 mustang and the mustang horn button too. $90 + UPS Shipping, I can accept PayPal too.

This may be dumb question but it bugs me. Should me two pedals, clutch and brake, be closer is position off the floor. Look at photo. Doesnt show really well but clutch pedal is about 2 inches higher (closer to steering wheel) then the brake. Is there any adjustment or remedy to that, or is it...

Is it possible to simply put a larger diameter pulley on the Power steering pump, lowering the RPMS, to lower the boost pressure? Love my car but its such a light touch at 60mph. Would love a tighter feel and hug to the road. Way over boosted in my opinion.

Can anyone point me to a 13 or 13.5" Wooden wheel that will fit my 73? I am 6-5" and have a 13.5 now but its not wood. Given my height and its all leg, its hard to get in under a larger wheel. I see a lot of 15" wooden wheels. THanks

I got a pair of these plugs for hood scoop. I am confused, they dont fit at all on my 73 convertible. Were these supposed to go direct into hood or is there some other plastic from a plenum? I have a hood with no hardware (no plenum ducts etc). I guess I thought they'd pop in from behind, but...

Need some suspension help. Not my specialty for sure. Usually I have shop put them on and drive off. So this picture show top of passenger side. The drivers looks just as bad. The shocks themselves look like new. They supposed had all been replaced by PO when I bought car. But these rubber...

I am really frustrated with this 351C run on. It was rebuilt by the PO so I dont have specifics whats in it. Does have a cam for sure. Has about 9"Vac at idle. I have read tons of posts on here about things to try and believe I have tried most all of them. I have leaned idle mixture out many...

What do you all feel this is truly worth? 1972 MACH I http://vermont.craigslist.org/cto/5665297257.html
