    AOD swap OD question - Answered

    I was perusing my swapped vehicle owners manual, a 1987 TBird, and I saw the OD button function on the shifter. I pulled the 5.0/AOD package for my 73, but I don’t remember seeing any connections on the AOD to keep it from moving into 4th great when I wired it up. Anyone who’s made the AOD swap...

    Lower Control Arm Eccentric Eliminator Kit - DIY?

    I see they’re available from $60 to $90; 4 plates with three holes in each, and two bolts. Seems kinda pricy. Has anyone made their own LCA eccentric replacement plates? If so, can you post the specs?

    Parts Wanted Electrical connector

    Maybe a long shot, but does anyone have this connector in their electrical bag of mystery? I believe, it is part of the clock or center console wiring. I don’t need it for that, but I believe that’s the exact match. The one pictured is too damaged to use. Here’s the pic: Thanks again, Steve.

    Maxjax - Two Post Lift - Experiences?

    I currently have a home made set of wheel chucks, the old 2x4 type, and as I ponder the next year of restorative services on my car, I keep going back to this “portable lift” system, especially how others have found the portable-ness of it. Did you get what you expected from it or was something...

    Old question, new day

    I know this question has been asked before, but the info I read didn’t give me the actions to take. So, my car is sitting too high, in the front for sure. I’ve got that ford page from the manual that shows the measurement from specific points to the ground, and the two I measured, the lower bolt...

    May be a dumb question, but here goes . . .

    Does anyone know if this kit will fit in the 71-73 Mustang buckets? I saw this on VMF, but couldn’t get an answer to that question. If I’m off base, I claim a senior moment coupon. https://parts.toyotasouth.com/oem-parts/toyota-headlamp-assembly-8111060p70

    Hood bump stops in cowl

    Kinda out of my experience, but I purchased a hood bumper kit from NPD (I think) a year ago, and I was gonna replace those three rubber stops that are in the cowl area. All three are taller that the ones existing. For grins, I put the one on the passenger side and closed the hood. It generated a...

    Just asking cause I couldn’t find anything online; does anyone know if a fender emblem is available for a 73 in the standard script that includes the engine size at the end. So “Mustang” and then 302 or 351? In my case, I would like to find one that fits the stock three fender holes that has 5.0...
