Hello all, I finally got around to charging the AC on my sons 72 mustang. All went well initially, but after I shut it down and let it sit for an hr the compressor is making a grumbling sound. I added oil initially before charging the system and it was at a level of 1” After charging it was...

Hello all, My son and I are finally driving the 72 Coupe! Everything seems to be working well apart from my charging. I am looking for a little sanity check to verify if I have the regulator connector wired properly my schematic does not have the F S A I on the regulator diagram so I went left...

I am getting into the smaller details and I am trying to come up with an accordian style rubber boot that fits into the 71-73 full console. The shifter handle is a hurst and there is a rubber accordion style available for the 1970. Does anyone have any idea if this would work or work with minor...

For those who have been following my autolite 4100 saga I have decided to go another route. It is really important to me to be able to retain the stock 302 air cleaner. Does anyone know of a new carb that will allow this? I don’t mind modifying the air cleaner slightly to make it work. Ron

I hope I can encapsulate everything that is going on. (Autolite 4100) First start of the car and it ran and idled. Then it revved up and kept running then started shaking then shut down. Hard to restart, but when it does it does the same thing. Super rich Removed carb, found that primary and...

I finally was able to start the Mustang today for the first time in 23 yrs. The elation was short lived as I lost spark after about 20 seconds of running. I traced the problem to the mallory Unilite module. What I am wanting to know is if there is a better module available such as pertronics...

I have the factory schematic book, but it is terribly hard to read being one color, small print and no key. Does anyone have a simplified schematic or know where to find one? Thanks, Ron

I could use some help. 1972 Coupe 302/T5 I have a rebuilt Autolite 4100 carb that I am trying to mount on an Edelbrock performer 289 intake. The problem I am having is finding the correct spacer that fits the intake and the carb. I bought a generic one off of Ebay, but it overhangs the intake...

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a shifter handle that looks appropriate for a T5 conversion. The one I have now is the suggested one from Modern Driveline and it looks like something out of a Rat Fink vehicle.

72 302. I am installing the exhaust on the car and using the original factory exhaust manifolds. I have manifolds for a 73 and a 72. My question is the 72 manifolds had no sleeve to center the exhaust donuts on the 73 it had sleeves that the donut fits over which I assume is to center the donut...

Is there any difference between 72-73 motor mounts? I am installing a 302 engine out of a 73 into a 72. The 73 mounts are new and I want to reuse them. Ron

I am nearing completion of interior and I have purchased a factory Tach cluster and gauge set for the center console. I need to wire it in and I assume the factory didn’t supply the wiring in the engine or main harness. So, I have 2 questions, Has anyone done this conversation and can give me...

I pulled a 302 engine out of ny parts car as according to the paperwork that came with the car it was installed less than 10,000 miles ago. It seems like a no brainer as the current engine has 150K on it or more. I wanted to do a little research on what I am putting in however, there seems to...

So I pulled the 302 out of my sons ‘72 coupe. I have pulled engines many times, but never out of a car with a 6 foot nose. My hoist barely reached the engine lift points without hitting the bumper and even with the boom extended to the 1/4 ton hole. I was lifting the engine and trans as a unit...

Gents, I am having a heck of a time trying to install the aluminum trim that surrounds the glass on a 72 coupe. I bought all new clips, but for the life of me I can’t get them to clip over the trim. Is there a trick to it? I assume I am doing something wrong. I spent 2 hrs trying to install...

For the life of me I cannot see how these bolt up. I only see one hole that doesn’t quite line up to the trim and nothing else. One was missing on thecar when I got it and the other was held on by one screw and it was wrong anyway. I didn’t pay attention when I removed it can anyone help?

Installing carpet, do you guys glue it down or just use the trim and seats to hold it in place? Thanks, Ron

Doing a headliner on a 72 coupe. I am wondering where the windlace goes. The car didn’t have any when I removed the old headliner. I assume it goes around the c channel from the quarter window and all away around the upper door window channel. Seeing as my car had none I am having trouble...

Would it be going too far if I pulled the Marti report and tracked down the guy who did the spot welds on the floor pan?  He deserves a good hard slap across the face. Took me hrs to pull the driver side pan, not to mention the cuts and burns. Passenger side was very easy to remove.
