    Waking up a 6

    I can do the tach in 6 or 8 cyl, 6K or 8K RPM. (Regarding the GM HEI distributor - there's a reason Chevrolet hid that piece of automotive ugly at the BACK of the engine.)

    Recommended car haulers

    I know this has been asked in the past, but I wanted to get current views on what company people have used to transport a car. Both of my parents passed the end of 2023 and Dad's '66 Mustang is now mine. Problem is, they retired in NH and I need to get the car back down here to Texas. The...

    1970 Torino 4 dr 429CJ

    My first thought was "gator". I think that was a Galaxie, though..... Nice catch! It's great to know another rare one is being saved. (y) (y)

    Something actually went right today!

    When I was in HS a buddy had a 68 coupe. Another friend had just bought a a '78 Mustang II. The ignition keys were the same - they used to steal each other's cars.

    The 24F (F for Ford) battery puts the positive post next to the starter solenoid.

    Fuel sending unit preference?

    If you want one that is guaranteed to fit and work correctly, go to Bill at Desert Classic Parts. He personally rebuilds them, no chinese parts. https://desertclassicparts.com/product-category/fuel-system/

    1973 C6 trans dipstick #

    D3ZP-7A020-AA7A020 is correct for a C6 'oil indicator'. The D3ZP- is the model year (decade and year), Model and Fit. In this case D3 = 73, Model (Z= Mustang) and P (Automatic Transmission). The -AA at the end is an engineering revision code. So the one marked D3ZP-7A020-AA is correct for...

    Problems with gauges on mach 1 -72

    Offhand it sounds like the IVR is not grounded correctly or is failing. A bad IVR will make the gauges (Oil, Temp, Fuel) all go to high. https://7173mustangs.com/threads/gauges-101.40104/#post-401023

    Towing problem

    When my '69 broke the distributor shaft somewhere in NY Hagerty knew who was close & guaranteed them. I specifically asked for a ramp truck and they told me that their policy is to always use flatbed/roller/ramp trucks on classic/antique vehicles. Sometimes it takes longer for one to get...

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    Last I knew the Key On safety was the main improvement from 1 to 2. Strange that Pertronix doesn't say that in their product descriptions (maybe the lawyers told them to admit nothing regarding burned out P1 units). P1: Product Info Delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs...

    Adding center gauges to a car that didn't come with them

    The IVR screw is gold and has a thin crush washer on it. Very coarse thread, same as the black ones that hold the tach /warning lights and speedo in. Both use a 1/4" driver.

    Parts Wanted Console Clock

    My quartz conversion does not require a working set knob. Somewhere around here there is a thread about it. Found it https://7173mustangs.com/threads/clock-quartz-conversion.41665/#post-425013 Maybe some folks that have one will let you know what they think of it.

    3 years or 36,000 Miles. The idea was to make you happy enough to buy another after 5 years or so. Ford never intended for these things to be on the road in the 21st century. Thanks to BIC (Lighter, Pen, etc) Planned Obsolescence was finally perfected in the 80s.
