Did all Mach 1's come from the factory with stainless steel trim around the fog lights? Mine (pictured) shows no scratches indicating it was ever installed if that is a good indication. Anyway does anyone know where can I buy the trim set? Thanks!

It's been a while, but on a previous car the battery light would come on as I turned the key to ON and would go off as the engine started and rev'd enough for the alternator to kick in. The light on my current '71 M code does not come on at all. I changed out the bulb some time ago and I'm...

Hi, Can someone post an image of the stud that connects the lock-out rod to the reverse crank on the trans? I think it's a stud that would snap into one of those hard blue or brown plastic bushings. I picked up the lock-out rod but I'm missing the stud and nut. Thanks, Peter

This one's got me stumped. After doing some rear end work and then on the drive back from Carlisle with a passenger the driver's side rear wheel starting rubbing when hitting a dip in the road. Car specs: 71FB with tired stock leaf springs, 15x8.5 ARE 200s "Coke-Bottles" w/ 4" offset, new...

HI, I've been freshening my car for the upcoming Carlisle... I removed the intake (351C4V) to clean it up and I believe it was the first time it was ever removed - (the same with the valve covers). I picked up an NOS Ford gasket/galley pan and it has the light colored gasket material attached...

Hi, Is anyone reproducing the early BFG T/A's? Here is a picture from 1976. I had just bought these tires and I was making some suspension repairs before a cross country trip: This car handled like a dream with these. I really liked the "squared-off" look and the tread pattern. Coker is...

I have been getting some serious clutch chatter so I pulled the trans to inspect the clutch and I found it to be brand new like the seller described. I broke the glaze on the flywheel with some emory cloth, replaced the badly worn pilot bushing and thinking that was the likely cause I put it...

I finally got around to investigating why the fold down rear seat won't latch in the upright position: When I try to clasp the seat in the upright position the section to which the striker attaches is too "low" (by 1/2") for the striker to meet up with the clasp and therefore the seat back does...

I have a 71 351C with a starter cable that needs replacing and I am trying to keep this car looking as original as possible (driven, but original and functional). I bought a whole battery and starter set made by Alloy Metal Products from CJPony, but when it showed up it I noticed that the...

Question: Did the 71 351C 4V M code, 4sp, non A/C car get the Throttle Position Solenoid on the carb or a just a dash pot? Update: So the reason I ask is mine has one, but the Ford Parts Manual and the electrical diagrams don't show any evidence of it in 71- only for the 72s. The Ford Shop...

Hi, I just rebuilt my 4300 (71 351 M) and I had it "flow benched" at the local carb shop. They said it all looked good, but when I re-installed it and ran it today there is a loud whistling coming from either in the carb or behind it. I checked all the vacuum lines and snugged down the carb...

I am replacing the mechancal advance distributor on my '71, 351C, 4V, 4sp, ram air with a dual advance stock unit and I am trying to figure out how to route the vacuum tubing. I have searched the forum and found the Glaziers site with the diagrams, but the ford diagrams were kind of generic...

Check out this dulled area in the hood that creates a margin following the black-out paint. It goes the whole length of the hood on both sides. Is this original? This is the original paint, but I have never seen this before: Thanks!

I am looking for a 4sp lock out rod for an 8 cylinder. Complete number is D1ZZ-7E330-D. Thanks!

So I finally found the car I had been searching for about 6 weeks ago and I am starting to sort things out. It's a very original car, but a previous owner removed the console. What was in place of the console was this "filler plate" or "surround" that looks like it might go under either a mini...

Can anyone tell me if 71s Come with an asphalt mat on the trunk floor like with the earlier years? Thanks!

As the title says I am looking for a 71 sports roof M-code. I am narrowing my search to also include a 4spd and a folddown rear seat. I have been scanning the ads, but I thought I'd throw it out here.

Will a 71/72 chrome bumper fit on a 73? I realize that the mounting brackets are different, but will the bumper fit properly against the front of the fenders? Thanks, Peter
