Hey guys, I am rebuilding the 9inch diff and centre on my 72 Mach 1. I am replacing all bearings and gaskets. I have a question... What backing plate gasket is the right one / best one for the 9inch on a 72 mustang (H code / FMX / 2.75 diff). Note it did not have an inner one installed on...

Chuck, Thanks for the link. I will have a look there. Yes, I am a member of the Mustang Club here in Australia. I am in Victoria.

Thanks for the info re the drive shaft. I will run with that. Now to figure out what the "N" colour is on the springs along with 2 x Green.

Thanks for the info. I do have the build sheet. Here are the 2 relevant sections. The springs are listed as GGN. Therefore I assume Green Green and ? What does the N code stand for? Then for the trail shaft it has the below. I assume the LA is for the front input shaft to the trans R is...

Hey gang, I have pulled the rear springs, diff, tail shaft out of my 72 H code mach 1 with the intention to clean it up and add a LSD to my non LSD 9" diff. I can see that there are colored bands on the springs and tailshaft. Does anyone know what colour the bands should be? Also, on the diff...

Celebrating Mustang 60th at Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia racing circuit.

Guys, Just digging up an old thread and thought I would share what I found. I have been chasing an intermitant issue with my Motorcraft 4300 (square bore) for a few months now. It would start up fine and run with no issues. Then I head out on the highway and after a number of K's down the road...

New stripes finally installed. Thanks for everyones help!

Thanks guys.. I thought that may have been what it was originally for.. Thanks.

Thanks for that.. It does say "Can also"be used as a litter bag.. That suggests its initial use was something else.. Hence the question.

Hey Gang, When I got my 72 Mach1 I also received a bunch of original documents such as registration cards, Owner card/ Warranty ID card with the metal ID info on it, User manual etc. I also received this clear plastic bag with a hole at the top in the middle that has a Ford logo and blue writing...

At some point my July 72 Gold Glow Mach 1 received a doors closed blow over acrylic paint job. (fortunately the same colour as factory). The car is a California car that then spent time in Texas somewhere between the mid 80's and 2003. As such, most likely had seen a lot of sun. Naturally, the...

Thanks for the update. I was looking at the Marti site and thought I would like a few of the parts he has like clamps, hoses etc. I have also seen their postage costs in the past just for a piece of paper and as I live in Australia the postage costs would be 10 times more expensive for me. So...

Thanks for the info. I thought that was the case. The 70-71 plug set looks exactly the same with the only difference being the work Autolight on them compared to Motorcraft on the ones from Marti.

Hey gang, Im looking to install date / year correct plug wires for my July build 72 H code 351 Cleveland. The only ones Scott Drake has are the 70-71 Autolight units. (D0ZZ-12259-A) - https://www.holley.com/products/ignition/spark_plug_wires/parts/D0ZZ-12259-A They have black round plugs for the...
