    Speedometer Gear gets mangled after a short drive

    Hi All, replaced my speedometer gear (16 tooth) for the third time in just one week! Gear gets kind of carved out on one side ever so slightly until it won't be able to grab anymore. Could the driven gear be causing this? 302 with a C4. Thanks for any help!

    1973 Mustang headlight wiring harnesses

    Hi All, came across these Ford NOS headlight wiring harnesses. These have the plastic connectors for the grill lights instead of the metal connectors. Am I safe to assume that these are for 73’s only? They’ve never been installed but nevertheless both have about an inch of the insulation...
