1972 H-code Mach 1

They checked the wheels and the bearings lose or have play in them. I don't know when it was replaced before me. The shop didn't replaced last year. After checking them they said they're ok. It was September and there weren't any issues until now.

Well I supplied the parts for them from Summit so I can blow the labor... I think the parts still under warranty so I'll contact them if it'll be the same after the bearings.

I don't know because I took it to a shop to replace the whole front suspension.

Thanks, Yes, that's what I'll do first. My main concern about the tie rod ends is that the alignment guy showed that they also have a play in them.  But I hop I'll be lucky enough to solve it only with the bearings. If it'll be the tie rod ends too Is there any method to check faulty parts...

I'm having some kind of strange issue with my suspension. I replaced the complete front suspension to brand new parts last September. I put around (or slightly less than) 3k miles since. I was about to set the alignment because the car is pulling to the left and having uneven tire wear. The...

Damn I totally forgot to check a simple brass elbow instead of a U hose and two fittings what I already ordered. That'd mean less components.

I will replace the heater core later so wouldn't be a good idea to unhook the two hoses at the firewall (If I wouldn't cut the hoses I can still use them when I put the new core in.) and hook them together with a bypass U hose?

I don't have the A/C hooked up, PO has removed the compressor too.  I live in Florida but never had an A/C car. :D My first car was a '70 Galaxie. That one felt like a slow cooker. You just had to rub yourself with bbq rub and you're done. The Mustang is surprisingly 'cool' since it's quite...

Thanks everybody. You can learn something new every day. :) (I had no idea about that condenser drain before.) I will change the heater core when I'll do the cowl and floors. In the meantime I'm going to bypass it because I need the car (this is the only car I have). Technical question: After...

Is there anybody who experienced coolant leak under the car. The exhaust manifold is dry, there's no hot engine temp./overheat when running.  It appears that leaking from a little rubber nipple thing however the floor/carpet is dry so I don't think that the heater core is leaking. (The car...

I'm running an MSD Blaster II with a ready to run dizzy. I need to check if the original wire is still connected but I don't think so. Hell, I haven't find a main power yet. Since November I'm working straight and my only day off was Christmas Day when I was able to install the amp, speakers...

Yes, I'm using the Pertronix relay but my ignition wire is disconnected.

The 'I' post of the solenoid if you mean the ignition wire.

Thanks, and happy new year! That was my second thought. And what about if I already hooked up a relay for solid 12V for an MSD dizzy?

So the wire for the yellow/memory/constant 12v is ok to be connected together with the amps power wire. And if the remote is also hooked up I only need to connect the red/switched 12v to power the stereo. Is the ignition on the solenoid is a good place to connect it? If not what would be the...

The usa 630 has a remote wire. I'm asking about the main power (red) wire. If I can hook it up to together with the amps wire.

The new unit is a USA-630 from Classic Car stereos. It has only one power wire for switched 12v and a yellow for the memory.  in this case should a splice in the amps fused power wire would work?

I just installed a stereo system with an amp and a receiver. Someone has swapped the factory receiver around the '70s to an aftermarket unit with 3 wire connection. I hooked up the new receiver and has no power. I don't have experience with electronics but my first thought is to hook up the...

I know, I wanted to build the ashtray too but decided not to because I'm a smoker and It is hard to stand smoking while driving what I really like. :D But it'd be a shame to keep smoking in it. :) Well it was bolted down and but the outlines appeared only around the front section so I'm lucky :)
