73 351 2V, Mostly stock except for Summit 600cfm carb, Eldebrock performer intake and Mallory Unilite Dist. Replaced ignition module in dist. last year. Few months later had to replace the Accel coil - it had cracked and was shorting out. Was on the car when I got it 3-4 years ago. Same thing...

OK, yesterday I replaced the A/C and alternator belts on my car. Backed it into the driveway and ran it for a while at various RPMs and loads to seat the belts so that i could re-tension if needed. Blipped the throttle twice pretty hard and heard a loud bang under the hood followed by a pretty...

This may be one of those "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" questions but I have to ask. How plausible is it to have a 1973 convertible that spent 35 years in the eastern Maryland/Washington, DC area and then another 10 years in coastal Florida/Gulf of Mexico area to be "rust free"? When I...

When I purchased our 73 H code convertible almost 3 years ago I was given a 3-ring binder supposedly containing maintenance and repair records. I never looked at it until last week. Opening the book you find color printouts and pictures from an internet for sale ad dated 9/2006. The car was...

Can anyone verify the radiator size for a 73 factory AC car. I purchase a Cold-Case alum radiator and electric fan kit hopefully to help with my overheating problems while in traffic. Of course was supposed to be a drop--in direct replacement. My existing radiator tanks are approx 3 in deep on...

Is it safe , or workable, to plug a phone charger or any other device such as an invertor into the cigarette lighter as a 12 volt source.

I have never driven a car that got as much attention as my 73 vert. I have owned and driven a 66 GT350H and a 68 Gt500 and neither one of those cars garned the attention that this old 73 has. I use it as my daily driver and I can't pull up to a red light or stop sign without comments. When I...

Just when I thought I had all of the gremlins sorted out on my car a new issue jumps up! For the past month or so, out of nowhere, it just shuts off driving down the road. No sputtering, hesitation or any warning. Just shuts off like you turned the switch off! When it happens I can put in...

Anyone happen to to what the towing capacity/max tongue weight is for a 73 convertible. Thinking about a lightweight teardrop style camper for an upcoming extended road trip. H code 351, FMX.

A bunch of years ago I had a computer program that allowed you to enter specifics about an engine build, sometimes even by manufacturer, that would let you enter different components and then estimate HP/Torque results. Then it would take your numbers and estimate 1/4 mile times and top speeds...

Planning a 3500-4000 mile road trip in my 73 vert this spring and sure would like to do something to improve fuel economy. 351 2-v with eldelbrock intake, summit 600 cfm carb, maybe small cam but unknown specs. Engine rebuilt by PO approx 15000 miles ago and runs good. FMX with 2.75 rear gears...

I know there's been lots of discussion about mufflers on this site but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I have Flowmaster 40 series on my car 73 vert now and while they sound great, the resonance at highway speed is almost unbearably loud inside the car, no way to carry on a conversation...

Last summer I purchased a theromstat/restrictor kit that was supposed to be correct for a 351C. It was a 195 degree stat. During the summer I had problems with Temp running hot while in heavy traffic - up to 220-225 degrees. Now that its cooler, the temp gauge never gets over 180-185, even...

Anyone have experience with superchargers on their 351C? I'm retireing at the end of the year and will have plenty of time to play with my 73 H-code vert. I use it as a daily driver and am really happy with it but, you know, you always can find more to do to them. Currently, I have the idea...

I posted earlier about having alternator/choke issues. At the time the dash alt light would come on normally with the switch "on" then come on/go off while driving. Well, I went out to run to the store and the alt light did not come on when I started the car. Went to the store and again did not...

Just recently, the alt warning light has been coming on intermittently. Some times will stay on for couple of minutes, sometimes just kind of flashes on and off. Doesn't happen at start-up, only when driving. Was thinking loose wire somewhere but can't find anything. Could a faulty voltage...

Need to add an electric fan for cooling in heavy traffic. Will the stock alternator on my 73 vert w/AC be enough or will I have to upgrade?

OK, I guess a made a classic mistake. When I replaced the front suspension on my 73 vert I installed a set of Scott Drake 1" lowering springs and KYG gas-adjust shocks. Ride is so harsh its almost like a solid suspension when I hit bumps - jars the whole car. I just spoke to Eaton Springs for...
