I'm trying to finish the restoration on my 73 coupe. I'm missing the shift linkage that connects the shift lever to the transmission lever. The car has a 302 engine with the C4 automatic transmission. Does anybody have a picture of what this looks like? Preferably an installed picture would be...

I have a 73 coupe that I bought a few years ago. Slowly been rebuilding it but I'm at a point where I can't spend the time I need to to finish it. The car is solid with no rust, only 57k on the clock. I have a complete new interior ready to install, front drum brake to be replaced with new disc...

I'm repainting the doors and jambs on my 73 and in the process the blue label with all the vehicle information got ruined. I just happened to have a photo of it but there are no dimensions with it. I'm going to have it replicated but I need the dimensions. Can someone measure their blue label...

I've been slowly restoring this car and finally started working on the interior. The original headliner is separating where the seams are, looks like the thread just deteriorated. The easy fix would be a one piece headliner but I can't find a supplier for a regular coupe. The original style...

I've been slowly making progress trying to get this car back together, going through the box of parts I've come across another one that I can't locate. Can someone tell me where this goes? It's my first vintage Mustang so please be kind! I'm also including some pics of my progress s far. Thanks...

Purchased new front KYB 4504 shocks and after trying to install them they seem too short. I still don't have the engine in the car and its on my lift now. The stud barely reaches the shock tower cap. If I jack it up under the ball joint will it come up enough to install the rubber and hardware...

I bought some new end links and bushings for the stabilizer bar. The old bushings were a softer rubber and stretched over the large end of the bar. The new ones are a solid hard rubber with no give at all. Is there a secret to getting these on or do they need to be cut and slipped over the bar...

I purchased the 3 belts for the engine and went to install them just to make sure they fit properly. Found the diagram and then discovered the pulleys don't line up. The rebuilt 302 has a ProStreet harmonic balancer on it, I can't compare the depth to the original as I never had one. If you look...

As I'm slowly getting things together to hopefully start this car this summer, I'm thinking about my transmission. The car has been off the road for 17+ years and I've been told the transmission (C4 automatic) has been sitting in the trunk for some time now. I never did any transmission work or...

From what I can tell the car I purchased sat off the road for about 17 years. The radiator had some nice green fluid in it when I pulled it out. If I can avoid it I'd rather not have to spend a couple of hundred on a new radiator. Is there a way to clean the internal core, looking in doesn't...

When i bought my car it came with a few boxes of parts since the PO took it apart and didn't finish putting it back together. I'm going to admit up front I've been mainly a GM car guy. I don't ever remember seeing a car part like this. Is it part of the 73 Mustang or just some scrap that he...

I started looking for a new fuel lines and a gas tank, my car hasn' t been on the road since 2001 so I imagine its shot. Available are 20 or 22 gallon versions with or without drains. I dont want to dig my car out in midwinter so how do I know what I have? Motor is a 302 and it's a 1973 if that...

When I bought my car the PO replaced the front aprons on the passenger side but did not weld them in. They have holes every couple of inches like the original panels that were removed. I have the drivers side also in place now for rough fitting and they seem to be located well. My question as...

I'm going to replace the manual drum brakes and go with the power discs up front and keep the drums in the rear. I see a lot of conversion kits out there, some seem more complete than others. What I'm looking for is a complete kit that will include everything for the swap. Based on everyone...

When I bought his car the previous owner replaced the two aprons on the passenger side. He did not weld them in but they were in place. He also provided the two sections for the drivers side. I removed the drivers side fender on Saturday and found it to be pretty solid except on the remaining...

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is John (slowpoke17). I was looking for a project to work on when I retire soon. I recently purchased a low mileage (57k) 1973 base coupe. Car is yellow with white interior, fairly solid with a couple of rusted areas. Last registered in 2001 and probably...
