Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Good news is I got some of them working. I removed the fuse (which I had replaced as well earlier). I reseated it snug with some dialetic grease and the power to the dash lights came back on. Now I'll take you advice on the bulbs and see if I can get them all to...

1973 mustang, The PO had installed after market gauges on the floor for TACH, Temp. Oil Pressure and ALt. I decided to clean this up so I purchased rocketman's tach and intalled it and is working great in the dash. Then decided to get a center console bezel and moved the PO's 2 inch gauges...

I was out of town for a few days and started the car tonight and no smoke. Took her out for a drive, restarted and no smoke. Maybe the new oil just needed to settle in, it was rate as "high mileage" . Thanks folks for the replies on this always appreciate it !! I will keep an eye on it but...

The PCV valve is about 6 months old. When I got the car it had 2 breathers and a mechanic recommended a PCV valve which he added.

Folks, thanks for all the replies. I think it boils down to me getting better educated on these older cars. Your feedback helped me figure out that I need to wait for the engine to get up to temp, then the idle kicks down and she runs very nice. I recently changed out the filter to a standard...

Wondering if anyone has advice regarding this smoke and sorry for the long post but want to give all the info I can think of. I bought this 1973 mustang convertible a year ago, 302 with a 4BBL edelbrock carb, edelbrock perform intake, dual exhaust. Car idles great, has plenty of pep, has 95K on...

They do the same deal here in Bethlehem, PA "Cars and Coffee". They redeveloped the old Bethlehem Steel plant into an entertainment venue called the "Steel Stacks" which is a pretty neat use of the old mill and quite impressive to see. They have a lot of events there so if your ever in the area...

I haven't pulled the instrument panel off yet to inspect the issue but I did find some info about getting a tach from Rocketman. I have the idiot lights to the left of the speedometer and would like to get one of his Tachs in there. I have an aftermarket tach mounted near the shifter right now...

Thanks, I think I will start with pulling put the cluster to look at the bulbs, maybe I can get them at a local auto store without ordering special online for now. BTW, Love your car, it's what I would like mine to be some day. I'm in Pennsylvania and travel down to MD in the summer would love...

I finally fixed my dash lights on a 1973 convertible, turned out it was a blown fuse. I cleaned all the connectors in the engine but the gauges on dash are still hard to read with the rheostat on high, there are some after market gauges(oil, temp, volt, tach) and they are very bright, they must...

Thanks for the quick response Don, I'll check the air cleaner which by the way I have been struggling with, need to swap it out for an original kind. That triangle foam thing has some funky metal clip to keep it on the carb. Either way I will make sure the choke moves freely, test without the...

Bear with me on this. I will try to provide as much detail as possible. I'm a newbie and have an idle issue. 73 convertible, Engine is a 302 with a 4bbl Edelbrock with one of those triangle foam filters. The previous owner had a shop redo the top of engine and he added electronic ignition and...

Could be residue from the fuel tank, some of the E fuels eating away. It's obviously not good, how old is the tank? Is it worth replacement?

John, thanks a million. I found the panel above the dash and the wire fell out of the CB. Once I plugged her in I was in business!! I didn't realize there was a panel ABOVE, I took the glove box out over the weekend but never took that plate off on top. Included a pic of the car. I need to do...

I'm having a brake light issue with a 73 mustang convertible. The previous owner added a lot of extra blue lights and stereo gear. In the process he cannibalized some of the wiring and now the brake lights and hazards don't work. I have removed all this added on extra stuff. The issue is that...

Hello, I bought a 1973 mustang convertible last year and I'm looking for some help. Maybe I can also help others with my experiences with the car.
