I've noticed this situation on every 71-3 Mustang. It's especially noticeable when trying to put the widest rim/tire combo on. I bought a Percy's wheel and tire simulator and would say there's easily a half inch less distance to the outside of the right wheel to the quarter lip than to the left...

I measured, and it has a 5/8" rear bar. I'm putting a 69/70 axle housing into it in hopes of getting the wheel offset to more closely match the front. The rear bar will likely interfere with the wheels, so it might be left off.

My experience on the way I had my closed chamber 4V Cleveland set up was: no vacuum advance, I think it was abt. 12 degrees initial, went to 38 degrees total advance, and I hit total advance by 2200 RPM. This was on 11.5 compression, 3310 vac. secondary 750, 2400 stall C4, headers, 2.25 exhaust...

I've had good luck with these Borlas https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bor-40358 I based my decision on a dyno test I saw online where they also checked loudness in decibels. These were both quietest and most power/torque. Not by a wide margin, but I really like them in that they're very...

Am running a 3/4 inch rear bar.

Jason, what brand of front sway bar did you use, and does it fit well? I've seen posts about the Total Control Products, and much of it has influenced my decision to go that route. I'm just working out the details on what to buy. I know I could have called TCP, but putting it out here might give...

I like what I see on the Total Control Products' front suspension coil over conversion. I think I want to get the Quick Set 2 setup. One of my questions is whether or not to get the lowered mounting position for the upper arm. I thought I read someplace that the 71-3's had that problem solved...

How does Iola compare to Spring/Fall Jefferson? About the same size? I've been to Jefferson. Lots of "stuff" there. Not that much Ford stuff at Jefferson, but some things there were decent.

That's exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks a lot! That convertible has the perfect stance, and the tires are in good proportion to the wheels and wheel openings.

I always thought the SR-71 was an amazing aircraft. The more I've read about it, the more I appreciate the engineering that went into it. Thought it would be a good metaphor for my '72 Mustang. My uncle worked for Kaiser Electronics in San Jose back in the '80's, and would get me t-shirts with...

The Rimblow Buddy did some good work on mine.

Thanks, I really appreciate the compliments! I'll have to check all of your Mustangs out. It's interesting to see everyone's take on the big Mustangs and what they've done to them. One of the first things that struck me about my '72 when I first saw it was it's long hood. I tried to accentuate...

I haven't seen anything on this in a while, but does anyone know what size tires, and rim widths/offsets to run on a '72 for fronts and rears? I've had the indentation for the spare on the right inner wheelhouse removed, so that shouldn't be a factor. I've also noticed on every 71-3 I've ever...

temporary photo upload images upload Hopefully these pictures post. BTW, I'm from Waterloo.

Got my avatar set, tried to upload an image from my phone. Got trapped in some website called imagebb.com. Might have to take another shot at it tomorrow.

Hi, longtime browser of this site; Thought I'd actually participate. I've been hard at work on my '72, still a work in process. I've had this car since '86, and must enjoy working on it more than I do driving it. Hopefully I get to a stopping point this summer so I can wash it and drive it. Just...
