    Refurbishing my '73 after 48 years of ownership

    I'm going to start a build thread on my car. I redid my '73 a couple of years ago. Before I was really familiar with this forum, I posted all of my progress in the long thread "What did you do to your car today". I regret doing so, and in hindsight I should have documented my efforts in a new...

    New Build Thread Feedback/Question

    I redid my '73 a couple of years ago. Before I was really familiar with this forum I posted all of my progress in the long thread "What did you do to your car today". I regret doing that and in hindsight I should have documented my efforts in a new "Project Build" thread. I think I can piece...

    Time for Winter Slumber

    First snow is in the forecast for tomorrow here in far north Idaho, so it is time to go into hibernation. One last drive to the grocery store in town to warm up the oil for her annual change. Sleep well old girl. I'll wake you in April.

    Parts Wanted Wanted: Woodgrain horn switch trim for deluxe wheel

    Here's a photo of the part I seek. My trim plate is cracked in a couple places but still usable. I am looking for one in good condition without cracks. A repop would be fine, but they appear to no longer be produced...

    Please help me diagnose vibration 1966 289 4V :SOLVED!

    I posted this over on the VMF site, but I know the members on this site better and have more history here so I figured I'd post here as well. I’m looking for some assistance determining the cause of a vibration I am experiencing with my (new to me) 1966 289 Coupe. I have an extensive folder...

    Parts Wanted Looking for Hurst Shift Lever

    I'm looking for the flat Hurst shift lever used in 1971. I believe it is Hurst part number 7831. There is re-chromed one on Evil Bay for $500 but I don't need one that bad!

    Or probably more accurately; three sisters and a grand daughter! Thought I'd post a shot of my Mustangs all lined up, freshly waxed and hibernating for the winter.  Front to back: 2020 GT500 CF Track Pack, 1973 Mach1, 1969 428CJ Mach1, 1970 Boss 302 Drag Pack. Of course you already know...

    Mach 1 Hood Decal NOT Stencil

    Anyone know of a source for a full mat black decal for the Mach 1 hood?  I am not wanting to paint.  With the quality of today's vinyl wraps I was thinking a vinyl decal would be worth trying.  As I recall a member from France posted up some pics of his car a while back with a decal and it...

    Any idea what this wire/connector is for?

    Comes out of wiring harness that runs to engine bay just above the floor dimmer switch?

    FMX Wiring Harness to Shifter Question

    So having removed my FMX transmission and installed a Tremec T-5 I would like to make up a short wiring harness.  I want to plug into the existing connector (previously connected to harness that ran to the automatic transmission shifter) on the engine side of the firewall. Before I start...

    Can anyone tell me how to install this clip?

    It goes through a hole in the floor pan on the driver's side and holds up the gas line.  Thanks, -Chris

    Alternator Bracket to Water Pump Bolts Question

    351C engine; the two bolts that hold the alternator bracket to the engine attach to the front of the water pump.  My questions is: do these attachment bolts penetrate the 'wet' area of the water pump?  If I remove them do I have to worry about radiator fluid leaking out or when I re-install them...

    Vacuum Secondaries or Double Pumper

    Yeah I know there are probably better and more economical carburetors out there, but in my youth in the mid 70's I had a Holley 650 double pumper carb on my 351 Mach 1 and for my own nostalgic reasons I am thinking about going back to a similar carb I had all those years ago.  I am not sure...

    Boss 351 Aluminum Valve Covers Stuck

    So I am tearing down the externals on my engine getting ready to do some painting on the engine.  I am not going to remove the engine since it appears to be in good shape.   Some context: In preparation for getting my Mach back running again after sitting 25+ years I have been doing a bit of...

    Two Questions: Please tell me what these parts do (photos)

    What does this little pneumatic valve attached to my heater hose do? What is this small bolt on plate with the two holes in the right side of my intake manifold for? Thanks for your help!

    Hello From North Idaho!

    New to the forum but I’ve been lurking for a while.  Since I am about to get serious with my project, I figured I’d introduce myself. Here’s my/the car’s story: While I am not the original owner, I am pretty close.  I bought the car in 1975 used from the local Ford dealer.  It is a 1973 2V...
