Scion over a vintage Mustang? My son made it known that if the day ever came when I would be dispensing our pony cars to he and his siblings, he was calling dibs on the 73 Mach 1. That was about 4 years ago. More recently he asked if he could change to the 69 Shelby GT500. heh heh... I told...

I have purchased parts from Summit in the past, and it was always a good experience. Given how they decided to handle this situation they can be assured of being given the first opportunity to provide parts I need. Kudos to them.

The rag joint azlone being for a tilt sheel steering column shaft is a pretty big deal. I searched for over 1 year before one finally turned up. Plus the new T/S switch - it makes is a doubly good deal for someone. If I did not already have my tilt column and related parts all pulled...

I do have the 1971 electrical schematic for Mustangs/Cougars. But, I can assure you using the 1972 or 1973 schematic will be far easier and understand. I have attached the relevant pages from the 71 and 73 schematic in the attached file snippets. I hope these are helpful. Sorry, no photos of...

Sorry, I did not notice that the link to Mario's Facebook post had not come through. Here is the link, and some ScreenShots of the photo and his comment for folks not using Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159504869072117&set=a.131798147116

This would be my tool of choice to track down the short to ground I suspect you have...

If your red lenses are beyond cleeeaning up and in need of replacement, there is soon going to be an aalternative. Mario has been working on designing and producing non-oem tail light lenses for over a year. He is apparently close to wrapping the design and goin into production. Here is a...

I truly appreciate it when folks want to talk about cars, either in general or specifically Mustangs and/or Shelbys. I even have to restrain myself when some Car Show Experts come up to me with one or more of our pony cars and begin to tell me things I know to be inaccurate. Depending on the...

I have heard about that particular style Mustang. But, never learned much beyond the hushed whispers I over heard from time to time. I would love to see some actual photos of one. Perhaps it is time for "me" to do some serious digging, now that you have ressurected the subject. heh heh

I am glad you conquered it. Thanks for sharing the cause.

The prior owner of our 73 Mach 1 installed an oem (off a wrecked car) 71Mach 1 flip-lid cap on ours. It looks and works great. Seems to me I heard to install a 71 flip-lid was a PITA. Perhaps for the non-oem units out there. In any event, I HATE the twist off cap on our 73 Convertible, even...

Hello from Western Upstate New York! We hav e 2 11973 Mustangs, and love them both. Sorry to hear a newly rebuilt rngine ran into issue so soon. My guess is an oil galley that was cleaned out was supposed to be plugged at one endm aand wasn't. A bummer no matter the cause. I hope the...

We have a Park8 (files attached). We have limited headroom in the garage where it is located. But we can put out 73 Mustangs, or 69 GT500, or 2020 GT500 up high enough to allow us to park our 97 Hinda Del Sol under it with about 3/4" clearance. That is after letting the raised ramp settle on...

I annotated your photo of the cooler. This looks very much like a transmission oil cooler, which I have installed many of in SoCal - and have one on our 73 Mach 1 with its swapped in AOD. They are a good thing to have. The annotation on the attached photo has a "speech bubble" suggesting you...

huh, "messy engine compartment." Looks pretty nice as it is, other than the one battery terminal lug being discconnected from its post <g>, heh heh... Seriously, it looks nice. Factory A/C, nice to have. We added Classic Air A/C to both of ourr 1973 Mustangs. Works well, no regrets.

I don;t have any new trick for you to try with the arrangement you are dealing with. But, I do have a suggestion for other belt driven items (alternator, power steering, aftermarket air conditioning compressors, etc.) that may be of help. For many years, when I had to toghten the belt for...

I am happy to help where I think I have something to add... We are all this together, after all.

This is likely the biggest reason I enjoy our hobby so much. Any time I work on one of our vintage pony cars, tinker with on, or drive one I am 19 again - and have not a care in the world. Eventually things catch up with me, but I am still quite pleased with how well things are going for me...

Well, the 1965 - 1972 and 1973 - 1979 Ford Parts Catalogs were not as helpful as they normally are. Using the base part # for the Cougar Trunk Torsion Bars, I did a search in both catalogs. The 65 - 72 catalog showed Part #s only for 1971 Mustangs, nothing for 1973. The 73-79 catalog showed...

I had no doubt you wouls resolve that issue. Many thanks for reporting back what you found. I will be extra caqutious with my future dash removals - which I hope will be very few indeed. I've paid my dues time and again. I am hoping to be able to enjoy our pony cars with minimal grief for my...
