Looking for some advice on first startup of a rebuilt engine. I’m to the point of getting ready to do the first start of the rebuilt engine for our Mustang (302). This is the first newly rebuilt engine cam break-in I have done. I have gone through a pre startup check list and I think I have...

Can anyone tell me what the purpose/function of these brackets on the top corners of the stock valve cover is??

Hello all, I have a few questions on the distributor in a stock 73 with 302. 1. Is there a way to find out the correct part number for what the car would have come with? It currently has an autolite 12127. For a 73 shouldn't this be a Motocraft part? (PO may have swapped out?) 2. How much...

Hello all, I have found that the distributor in our car is missing the small oil wick (or felt as some call it). Does anyone know where you can get them or a place to get a small piece to make our own? I have done a lot of searching but unable to find anything except a bulk seller ( I don't...

Hello all, The interior rear panels on our convert has patches of what I believe to be sun damage on them. The areas are lighter in color and kind of chalky on the surface. If you rub it, it starts to crumbly. Anybody else run into this? Is there any way to repair the areas without having to...

Hello all, I have a question about the special nuts that are used to attach the convertible top trim to the car. They are different on each side (see attached picture) I would guess that the wide end threads on against the body but wanted to confirm. It has been a while since they were removed...

Hello all, I did a search but couldn't find anything related to this but my search phrase may not be correct. On a 73 with no AC and no gauge package, is there an open keyed 12 V source under the dash? (12V on when the ignition key is switched on) I'm installing an Autometer oil pressure gauge...

Hello all, Hoping to get some info/help on a few sport mirror questions. I have researched the forums for similar questions and got some answered. “Stanglover” and ”Not A T5” had an exchange on this topic back in August of 2017 but there wasn’t a definitive answer on the mirror housing size...

Looking for a remnant of blue comfortweave fabric approximately 16" x 22", enough to do one front seat bottom (all I need at this point) I have tried the usual source-SMS, and they haven't had any in stock for some time.  So, hoping to find someone who may have done new covers and has some...

The interior quarter panels were out of the car when we inherited our 73 convert. Is there any documentation that shows what type screws are used in which holes to attach the panels. I have looked in the 73 shop manual and other sources but doesn't show that level of detail. Thanks, Jim
