    Turn signal indicator and Fuel Gauge issue

    I think I know the answer to this based on searching through past threads but I just want to be sure before I go back into the dashboard. I recently had the interior of the car apart and at this time, did work on the gauge pod. Since I put it all back together the turn signal indicators on the...

    How much power can a stock 72 handle?

    I apologize if this has been covered before. I used the search box but didn't find what I was looking for. That being said, how much power is safe to put into a stock mustang before things start getting hairy. My mustang is a Q code 72 Mach 1. 351C HO with a 3 speed C6 tranny. Everything is...

    Center Console Gauge Wiring

    I replaced my center console gauges with some Autometer cobalt gauges. My question is about the wiring. The lighting will not be a problem but I am looking specifically for the color coding on the wires to the Voltmeter and the Water Temperature Gauge. The stock voltmeter had two wires, Red...

    Name that Sound - engine noise?

    I fired up my 72 Mustang the other day and heard a new sound for the first time. It is sort of like you took a metal nut, put it inside a metal container and shook it a bunch. I think the sound is coming from the front end of the motor, around the distributor/water pump area. It might be...

    Grabber Blue

    I have a 1972 "Q" code Mach 1. The Marti report shows the original color as pewter metallic silver and also shows that the car is not really rare or incredibly optioned. I bought the car as a red car with all of the black Mach 1 striping and trim. I am going to do some rust repair and repaint...

    Power Steering Pulley Part Number?

    I am replacing the power steering pump and now the pulley as well on my 72 mach 1. The car is a Q code 351c car. The pulley is marked "DOOR-B". Is this the correct pulley for this car? I am not sure if it is original to the car an hence, not sure if it is the correct diameter. Thanks Scott

    Piece of Roll Pin in Oil Pan

    I was doing an oil change on my 72 mach 1 yesterday and a 3/16" piece of broken off roll pin was stuck to the magnetic oil pan plug. Any ideas which part of the 351C this might have come from and what the implications are? I am not feeling too good about this! Thanks Scott

    Bad idle/stall when in drive

    The last month or two I have noticed my idle getting a little rough when I am in drive. When I idle in park it is pretty smooth and consistent. If I am sitting in drive in my driveway with foot on the brake, the idle gets a tad rough at times but not bad enough so I would think that the car is...

    Rear Axle Identification

    Are their any identifying marks on the axle housing that would indicate if it is original to the Mustang? I am thinking that the axle on my 72 Mach 1 is a replacement. Thanks scott

    72 Mach 1 Build Date

    Hey Guys, new to the forum here. I am trying to figure out the build date of my 1972 mach 1. Some parts I am looking to order are based on whether the car was built prior to 7/72 or after 8/72. I have the vin which tells me the consecutive build number but no tag in the door. Anything I can...
