Thx guys, your right about the rivets, I remember this from my 73. In terms of swapping in a V8: possible, but I doubt it. It has the 289 on the outside of the fender and all VINs that I saw until today say C-code. Then again, SHOULD the VIN on the fender be re-stamped and SHOULD the tag be a...

Ok, here are the pics. "153" is the area in question on the fender (1st pic). The Kansas tag is in the 3rd pic. What also troubles me are the wavy inner fenders between the domes and the firewall. Could this be an indication for a severe front end collision?

Ok, if this the wrong section, please shift into the apropriate one. I am strongly considering buying a 1965 vert (yeah, I know, not 71-73). While the door tag is perfect and matches the vehicle (exept for the fact that it was born a 4 sp mn and now is an auto), the VIN on the fender looks...

Thx. Regular headlights. Guess I’ll go with the headlight switch first. RA sells them from 15 or so Dollars.

Drove on the Interstate the other night and after about 20mls the headlights went off. They came on again after some seconds. This went on for about 30mls, then the lamps stayed on. No matter what I did, turning, pushing or pulling the switch, shifting gear to change RPMs and thus amps from...

As stated above, preferably in black w/o speaker grills. Matter of fact the left one will do. Cannot find any vendor who seems to have them. Everything before 71 is availble, but no 73s. The 70s won´t fit, will they? New or good used ones welcome.

 Honestly, I couldn't tell you what is in the carb but I doubt that the PO has messed with the factory setup.  So, if the metering rods you mentioned are factory then yes I suppose that's what is in there.   Having said that, I think I read somewhere the factory springs are yellow?

I have the 1406 in my 351. Running great at idle, but from about 1800 rpm the engine is running lean, below 1% CO. You cannot feel it while driving, tho. My garage recommend re-metering or re-jetting to prevent premature valve or head gasket failure. Edelbrock states the 1406 has been designed...

When I got my 73  the warning light stayed on for a minute or two after starting the engine. Although unsual I thought it might have gone out after the operating temperature was reached. Now the warning light stays on all the time whe driving and as the light comes on right from starting the...

Update.... Definitely no mammels inside the car. Smell comes from steering wheel, sort of like puke. Pulled the steering wheel (thanx, Hemi), put it in dish washer and got yelled at from wife (she had all rights to do so, the smell went into the dish washer and it took several empty runs to...

Busted engine mounts? Had this happen to a guy I know and the engine moved upon accelaration from Start, causing the throttle cable to stick.

There´s a creaking sound coming from the steering (column?) of my 73, noticeable in the inside of the car when I turn the steering wheel. Noticed with only low velocities yet, but haven´t driven the car a lot as I am still working on it. Haynes says there would be joints on the steering rods...

Put some poison on the floor panels, never been touched in a week or so. So no live animals, I guess. I soaked some paper towels with spray on smell neutralizer, wrapped the steering weel, put a plastic bag around it and let it sink in for some hours. Afterwards the smell from the steering weel...

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I took out the gauge panel to check the indicator bulbs. One started working when I swapped left to right, matter of fact already when I twisted the socket out and back in. Bad connection or surface rust, I suppose, as the car was sitting for 15 years. The...

Are the indicators on a separate fuse or on the same as the turn signals themselves?

Is the gap between the stripe and the body line above it the same from front to back (or rather middle)?

Nah, not moldy, car aint wet inside, either. I am currently following the bad smelling steering wheel trace... The rim smells pretty bad and I wrapped the wheel in plastic foil for the time being to try and isolate it from the rest of the car. Some recomment to clear the rim to eliminate the...

Dave, can we please stick to automotive stuff and not culinary? ;-)) I will try the mouse trap thing but the smell is not particularily like mouse pee which is rather sharp, pungent and intense. No signs of poo either. The smell is rather thick, kind of sweet I´d say. How do dead rotten mice smell?

I did find a Nest unter the back seat and some damaged paper towels in the trunk. Removed both, but didnt find any  corpses. Behind the rear side panels, maybe? Inside the The heater box would be tuff to find and remove.

I have a Bad smell inside my 73 vert.  The car has been sitting for 15 years Ive been told, but it is in great shape minus the seat foams which are deteriorating (yellow powder all over the car). Are the seats known to develop some smell when they get old? Thx, Alex
