    replace entire PS pump or just the gaskets, etc?

    Last time I did my "winter startup" a month ago I noticed a good amount of red fluid on the floor. I checked the both AT and brake fluid levels, seems OK - and even the PS pump shows a fair amount of fluid left in it. The pump has been fine to date and gave no indication of bigger issues, so...

    The "survivor" made it to it's new home in Colorado.

    Christmas Eve, 1981, I found myself driving my '73 302 from Utah State to SLC in a blinding snowstorm - about 80 miles. No plows the entire way, and 8-10 inches of snow on I-15. And me with rear-wheel drive and bias-ply tires. It took me 5 1/2 hours to make it home at 15mph. Here's a pic taken...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    Octane

    If I'm not mistaken, the recommended 1972 leaded octane rating for the 351C-2V was 91, so I'm putting unleaded premium in my convertible.  Under hard acceleration, I'm still getting ping and always back off to avoid damage. What can I add to the unleaded to reduce/stop ping?  She just had a...

    "Mustang Mach-E"

    I'm rather shocked to read Ford is serious about using "Mustang-inspired" stuff for its upcoming crossover EV.  CarBuzz says Mustang DNA is sorely needed in the rest of the Ford lineup,  but I think anything Mustang applied to other vehicles is dangerous.  Ford even owns the trademark name...
