    Headliner/Windshield/Dynamat

    My 73 coupe has had a leak in the windshield and rear window since the day I bought it. My plan is to remove both front and rear glass, replace the headliner, then replace glass. I have reputable shops to do all the work. Questions are: 1. If glass breaks and I need to replace it, opinions as...

    Window Washing System

    I've been thinking about re-installing the window washing system in my 1973 coupe. None of the parts are currently in my car, but they seem to be available. I'm wondering if it's worth the effort/expense/under hood clutter? Does the system work well, or is it an anemic drizzle? Thoughts?

    Turn Signal Indicators

    I spent a lot of effort to make sure the turn signal indicators worked, and now that they do, the steering wheel obscures them anyway. I doubt that this is a factory wheel, but I'm wondering if I just happen to have an unlucky line of sight based on height etc. or if this is a common problem...

    Proper Bolt Color

    Weird question, but I have a 1973 coupe. Wondering what color the bolts that hold front fenders on are supposed to be, Black (phosphate), yellow (dichromate) or silver (zinc)? Suppose they could also be stainless. Thanks

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction

    So it's been a few weeks since I drove my 73 coupe. I filled the tank before I parked it, and fuel gauge needle was on "F".  This morning on start, needle on fuel gauge was as far right as possible, way beyond the "F".  Any ideas of where to start? Thanks, jack

    Remote Racing Style Mirrors

    The previous owner of my 1973 coupe installed remote racing style side mirrors.  The driver side glass fell out and shattered and the passenger side mirror glass is loose.  I have two new mirrors, however, the way the previous owner installed the driver side mirror is to just cut the cables.  If...

    Brakes Getting HOT

    Have standard 9 inch rear end, small bearings. Put new shoes, hardware, and drums on.  Wheels spin freely.  Drums come off easily.  No binding.  After 20 mile drive, backing plates are so hot you will blister your hand if you touch them.  Aluminum wheels are actually getting hot.  No evidence of...

    Please Identify Dash Cluster Lights

    There are three lights on my dash cluster. I have labeled them 1,2,3. I assume 1 (bottom of tach) is brake warning light. Either 2 (on top of tach) or 3 (bottom of speedo) is bright lights ? The remaining light is ????  Thanks as always for any help you can provide.

    WIRE iDENTIFICATION

    I've almost got my 73 coupe re wired.  This picture is from the driver's side firewall.  The white/purple and black/pink wires have been cut.  I don't know what they do.  Back up lights?  The real question is the wire with the white female bullet connector.  Is this wire brown? Could this be...

    dash speaker

    When I bought my 1973 coupe, the previous owner had installed speakers in the corners of the dash pad.  I never liked the look, so I got a new dash pad (I didn't think I could cover the holes in the old one) and a set of speakers designed to fit under the existing dash grill.  How is the...

    Installing A/C

    My 73 coupe originally had factory air. The previous owner was racing it, so everything was stripped out.  Wondering if it's possible/reasonable to re install factory air, or would aftermarket system be better. I'm not interested in staying stock, just cool.

    Automatic Shifter

    I have a 1973 coupe.  Neither the 351 4V nor the c6 transmission are original to the car.  The shifter was super sloppy, so Changed the bushings.  What a huge difference a couple of pieces of plastic make!  However, something is not right.  The indicator pointer points at N when I'm in drive...

    Tachometer

    My 73 coupe came without a tachometer from the factory.  The previous owner has wired in an after market tach.  It works.  I have a refurbished cluster with a factory tach.  My plan is to put white face stickers on the speedo, fuel gauge and tach, upgrade to LED bulbs and install.  When I plug...
