Hi everyone. Merry Christmas! I’m back in the U.S. and getting back to work on the ‘71. I am replacing the trans and need to remove the exhaust pipes From the manifolds. I soaked the bolts in PB Blast but I still feel like they’re going to snap off if I put more pressure on them. I tried a...

The front of my 71 Mach was pretty noisy, so I rebuilt everything on the front suspension...EXCEPT the springs. They looked to be in good shape, so I just replaced the insulators and the perches with a pair from Scott Drake. It's better. no rattle, but still gives me the "boing!". Will bad...

So I finally got to take the 71 out last night for a rest drive. First drive since I towed her home a year ago. The car had been sitting for years. When going around curves and corners the rear end feels like it “catches”   That’s the best way I can describe it. I get a clunk and a side...

Hey everyone. I’m at the point on the Sniper install on the ‘71 of finding a good 12v source while cranking AND running. I thought Isaw this discussed on the site before, but now I can’t find it. Some say coil wire, some say no. Where do I go? Thanks!

So..the other day I thought I’d just do this simple install and no more points to adjust. Wrong. Now I have no spark. I called Pertronix and they said I also needed their coil. So I ordered that and Just installed it and still I have  no spark. I’m getting 12.4 V to the + side of the coil with...

The 71 is coming along. I’m to the point of replacing the leaky heater core and repairing the AC. At some point the condenser and lines were robbed. Do I send the AC compressor out somewhere and have it rebuilt? Or do you just buy a new one? Are there rebuild kits available? If so, are they hard...

Does anyone have any tips for repainting these front bumpers. I want to do it right since it appears that we can’t buy replacements. Mine looks like a war zone. Not broken, just paint cracks and chips everywhere Thanks. twelve sided dice

well I’ve got this old Mach running nicely, very cool, but some strange things are happening electrically. The headlights and hazard lights work, but NOT the dash lights or turn signals.  I thought the wiper motor was bad but when I ran a ground wire from the case to the firewall it works fine...
