Hey guys, I am selling my 1972 mustang convertible with a 302 4bbl carb, edelbrock intake, flamethrower ignition, c4 tranny. It is red with white top and white interior. I love the car, but have found another mustang that has been a dream of mine(71 Mach 1). Pictures are in my profile and I am...

So I got a promotion at work and moving to Phoenix in Feb. any members over there?

So I recently replaced the starter solenoid, changed the oil to full synthetic and I crank it up after about 1 month and it blows grey/blue smoke. It's also idle choppy up and down every couple of seconds. Never happened until now. Any ideas? False alarm. Lol after I drove it about 10 minutes...

I just got a new engine gauge feed to install in the 302, part #72-gift-8 cyl. Not sure where to begin. Do I have to take out my instrument panel or can I install it from the firewall side? Any pics would be great!

So I recently install a new bracket and spring that connects to the kickdown lever. However, when I manually pull the lever back to down shift, the spring doesn't pull it back forward. Any suggestions to make it tighter?

Just wanted to let everyone know that Don dropped off the 302 roller block that I've been wanting. It was awesome for him to bring it while he was traveling. Just a great example of the great comraderie on this forum.

Just like the subject line reads, I'm looking for an 87-92 302 roller block as a base to rebuild in my 72. Amazingly enough I haven't been able to find any at junkyards here in Tampa or on Craigslist for a decent price.

So I tried to turn the car over and it is only making a whine sound when key is turned. Noticed smoke coming from regulator and positive battery cable is really hot and started melting the plastic cover. I recently cleaned those wires and wonder If I put it together wrong. I had 4 wires hooked...

So I just started to check the timing and it's pointing at the 20 btc now. Would this make me run hot and cause shifting problems? Which way do I turn it to bring it down to 6 btc like factory settings? I have an edelbrock performer intake and Holley 600 carb and that's it. Any advice is...

So I got a Marti report for my birthday today and found out that it is really different than the car parked in my garage! Marti report says it was pewter metallic with black interior, black convertible top and Sebring knit seats. As you can see in the pictures on my profile it is now red with...

I have successfully taken out the rear interior panels (not hard) and am getting ready to strip them for new paint. Anybody have a good idea on what I should use to strip the plastic panels? Brake fluid or a light sanding? I do not have a soda blaster as my air compressor is too small. Thanks...

Which timing light would you recommend? One with a tach feature since I don't have a tach on my car or just a basic one?

I was doing some work yesterday and saw that the kickdown lever does move backwards and "clicks" to down shift, but then it stays there. It doesn't automatically move back forward unless I pushed it with my hand. Is there supposed to be a return spring that attaches? This is a Holley 600 four...

I noticed my knockdown lever doesn't have a return spring. Holley 600 carb. Where can I find one?

Does anybody know where I can find a good vaccuum gauge or even what type? I went to 2 local parts stores and they didn't have any for me. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys! I've decided to break down the 40 year old original 302 and my first mod is to take care of the cylinder heads. I don't have enough money to buy a good new set of AFR heads so I'm leaning towards having the original heads ported, polished, new springs, and freeze plugs. How much HP do...

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted largely due to me just getting the car back after a 6 month spa(shop) treatment getting some welding and wires re-run for power windows and such. Since I picked it up, I notice it feels like a rough idle. It sounds choppy for lack of a better word...

Since my car has been in the shop for the past 4 months, I finally have an update. The shop fabricated a new wiring harness for the convertible top switch so it now works! The new inner fender apron is welded in along with new battery tray. They are getting started on rewiring the power windows...

If I were to either have my stock cylinder heads ported/polished or get a used pair of refurbished GT-40 heads from an early 90s Mustang, would I be able to put roller rockers on without changing the length of the valve stems? Also, would be standard valve covers still work or would I need the...

Hey everybody! I have been doing a lot of research on long tube headers for the 72 302. The thing is, I'm not sure if I should go with headers from a company that is less known rather than the Mustang "favorite" of Hooker Comp. I just don't know much about the other company offerings. Any other...
