Nice, glad my thread is helping others. :) I haven't had any problems since.

Ouch sorry to hear. I use state farm for insurance and it runs me $173 per year for $30,000 agreed value full coverage. You may want to look into that once you get her back on the road.

Ended up being the shift kit was not installed properly and the valve body gasket was bad (blown out between the two rectangular ports). Waiting for my buddy to come over to do some final adjustments but it moves again and I have all my gears back! Thanks for your help.

Car was hit while parked by a drunk driver. I'm sure insurance covered it or at least most of it. This Mustang was parked in his driveway one night when suddenly he heard a loud crash! When he ran out the front door in the pitch black darkness of the night he noticed a drunk driver passed out...

With the silver/clear lens or without? I'm working on installing new gauges without the pod so I might be freeing mine up this week.

From the side of the trans. One side goes into the trans and is held in with a 7/8" nut, the other goes into the neutral safety switch/kick down rod.

I believe the car came with a C6. It is a Q code, although the motor was blown at the dragstrip by one of the previous owners and is now a 2V with Aussie Powerheads. Shift rod is about 17 3/4" long: IMG_20130807_212217_900 by JJR329, on Flickr Bottom of shifter (nasty, and there were...

I was trying to adjust it myself. I'm going to have a buddy come over and try again. If I still have trouble I think I'll pull it out to take a photo so we can ID it. The cars had at least 5 owners and who knows how many different people that have worked on it over the years, there could be...

The leak is coming from the selector shaft. The NSS was only hand tight, also the selector shaft outer seal looked like it wasn't seated right. So I pulled and inspected it, still nice and soft with no cuts or nicks and just put it back together for now. It sounds like the inner can be...

I'll check the lines on the trans and shifter shaft seals after work. I'll try and describe it better as well. 90% of the time 1st gear is not available to me. Doesn't matter if its in D or 1. There is no grinding or unusual noises. If I come to a complete stop in D, the car takes off in...

I followed the standard operating procedure for checking the fluid, warmed up from driving, level surface, idling, go through the gears, etc. 1. My carb doesn't have the ford kickdown on it, so there's nothing I can do about that for the moment. That would only affect it dropping down from 3rd...

Sorry if this seems kind of long...trying to include anything pertinent. 1973 Mach 1 351C C6 - stock rebuild est around 2000, B&M 2400 converter installed in 2004 as well as a B&M shift improver kit. I estimate no more than 3000 miles on it in that time (most of that time the car...

Only took a couple min to get the new rubber gasket in. Pushed the new gasket in and then used a little marine grease in the gasket and neck to slide it right in. Piece of cake!

I tried to siphon out old gas a long time ago and I could never get the tube into the tank. I ended up pulling the line at the tank and got it that way.

My trunk is clean as a whistle so I won't be blowing myself up. Good info for others that might not have thought of that!

Found the problem, the rubber gasket is gone! I assume its floating around the tank somewhere. I'm on vacation for next two weeks so I guess I just added another project to the list.

Some co-workers noticed raw fuel dripping down from around the rear license plate today when I hit the gas. I think its the rubber seal between the filler neck and the tank. I seem to remember this thing being a pain to replace. Does anyone have a DIY for checking/replacing it? Does the tank...

Couldn't help but notice a 73 vert at the F1 Grand Prix on Sunday. Looks like it was supposed to be a "spare": http://6bd32fe3d0a84caa1d3b-e077574ebbd2dc508f26c12c8cc8fefb.r63.cf1.rackcdn.com/50a8db68ad0aeF1%20Drivers%20Parade%20Car%20%20Driver%20Allocation2_web.pdf Schumacher's 66 vert...

1973 Q code Mach 1 with C6

You mean the functional ones for the mid-rear mounted drivetrain? The nose feels off but I like the rear.
