    Dash wiring

    You don't need any wiring to start a car, drive into trailer and shop!!! If battery and cables are in place.......just run a wire from Battery positive to the positive of the coil. (I usually make it long enough to be able to PULL off the post )so it kills the engine) I always use point...

    Boss 351 hood markings

    Unfortunately Ford was slow to react to a known problem dated 7/1/1971 for 72 cars  https://www.conceptcarz.com/recall/8569/ford-mustang.aspx And then taking even longer here https://www.conceptcarz.com/recall/8569/ford-mustang.aspx after the death of a Michigan Dealer Mechanic.    The stickers...

    Correct Master Cylinder?

    I think you will find that is the difference in drum/drum OR disc/drum applications.  Since she is doing the internet ordering provide her with all the info for the planned build, if you are adding a power booster and if you have the correct proportioning valve for the final build.  My guess is...

    Big Block Bargain

    My guess is if you had a 494 Can Am car it would be a "starting place" !  Still need about $30K in parts, injector system and then a $30K Hewland !!    Old race parts are really hard to put to use as many were one off, motified by builders and /or IMPOSSIBLE to assemble because of "missing...

    What did you do to your car today?

    I am so sorry I haven't used/posted to this thread......mostly because I work on a large number of NON 71-73 cars on a daily basis!!    But since the prototype clone is finished and the 1967 C850 is leaving to have a ramp installed and painted, I will be moving a 1971 car I have owned 3 times...

    I read your posts from Aug.....R U still dealing with this from then??    I read that POP (statement) and then not starting without backfiring and thought " has anyone confirmed this car doesn't still have the plastic timing gear!"    SHOPS don't know everything we do with 40 years experience...

    Why won't this f*&$ing thing start?!

    What you haven't told us is what the car has for points/petronix? !    If points, be sure your condenser is good.    If petronix be sure you have 12V (not the reduced voltage factory wire) going to the red for the unit.    Let's assume all else is correct and start here.....at first I was going...

    1972 Canadian Q Code Mach1

    Glad you have owned the car as long as you have!!   Read your post (and comments) ..........with STOCK orders it is the dealer that specs the car (for stock) not Ford (building it a certain way).    It was a job that you were either good at reading the demand or "ordered too many green on green"...

    Restomod opinion desired - Ram Air on a 73 vert - Nasa Hood or shaker?

    I am of the opinion that "if it wasn't available for the car the year (era sold) then it looks OUT OF PLACE.   Same goes for the use of wheels not introduced by factory until after year!       The other thing is if you keep your original hood intact ...you can always sell, put back on and resell...

    Boss 351 Engine or not??

    NO. and yes.   Some of the pieces will work, THINK the correct lid is chrome. Others here will know , as  I never owned anything but a Boss 351 when it comes to 71's.   Spend some time looking at correct cars on Google (just that is an art to filter through all the Frankenstein's)!  We knew it...
