    Thunderbird Wood / Rim Blow Wheel?

    Is the wood rim blow steering wheel off of a ‘73 Thunderbird the same as the ‘73 Mustang wheel other than the center trim?

    Temp and Oil Gauges overreacting

    Recently I pulled the radiator and had it cleaned out and reinstalled it. Since then, the temperature gauge and the oil pressure gauges seem to read pretty high. The oil has always gone to the high side, but even higher now. The temperature gauge is the one that scared me as it goes to the...

    One thing after another—this car hates me!

    So I have touched almost everything on this car.  Almost—and soon it seems like I won’t be able to even say that anymore.  The power steering pump started groaning yesterday.  I thought it was just a little low a they generally groan when low, so I added fluid while it was hot.  It’s full now...

    Leaks: FMX Trans shift rod & Power steering box

    Transmission:  My FMX leaks at the shift selector shaft on the drivers side.  I replaced the seal on one of these 30 years ago, but I don’t remember if it was just an o-ring or if it was a special seal with a inner spring.  Anybody know for sure?  If it is just an o-ring, is it anything special...

    1 Gallon Wimbledon White Basecoat PPG Envirobase

    I have 1 full gallon of PPG Envirobase basecoat, not reduced.  This was a second of two gallons mixed for my car, but I bought too much.  One gallon did my entire car exterior, door jambs, under hood, and trunk—and I still have some left over from the first gallon.  So this stuff covers very...

    Low ignition voltage?

    Been working on the ‘72 wrapping up various things to finish it.  This week I wanted to swap the carb base for another Holley base that included the automatic transmission kick down as the current one does not.  So I did the swap, put it back together and the car ran terrible.  The bases are...

    Rear seat belts—which way?

    I was starting to assemble the rear of the interior tonight…finally!  I ran into a problem though.  Which way do the rear seat belts install?  Does the button mechanism go to the outside or mount in the center of the car?  It seems like it would be better if they were mounted with the button...

    Heater blower Low/Medium setting

    On both my 72 and on my 69, the heater/air conditioning blower only runs on high.  Is the resister sold by NPD 19A706-2A the likely culprit?

    SN95 “jumpy” tachometer

    We have a 94 Mustang GT in the fleet as well as our other Mustangs.  I haven’t driven it a lot, maybe 200-300 miles since we bought it.  Due to some current circumstances I am driving it frequently at the moment.  Today I noticed the tach was jumpy.  On the freeway, it was bouncing up 500 rpm...

    Rear Axle Noise - video included

    The rear axle in my ‘72 makes a clicking noise.  I tried to fix it years ago and pulled the center section—didn’t see anything wrong, changed the axle bearing (I am certain it was the left one, but it was a long time ago).  As you can see in the video, when I turn the left axle it is really...

    Windshield Washer Bottle & Pump?

    Wasn’t sure what forum this fits in, but here’s my question.  I ordered a windshield washer bottle as my original was broken.  I went to install the pump and something in my brain said—check for a leak.  Guess what—it leaked through the pump area...of course it does....   the washer bottle is a...

    Lower body blackout 1/4” stripe

    As I stripped the paint from my ‘72, I noticed issues.  Some was paint, some was tape striping.  The lower body blackout was not consistently comprised of paint, some of it (or maybe all of it originally) was tape.  The lower body portion was all paint, but the 1/4” stripe itself was tape.  Is...

    Anyone with a SN95 model Mustang?

    I spent a bit of time last weekend replacing the fuel pressure gauge on my ‘96 Cobra.  The mechanical gauge broke quite some time ago, so I am installing an electric gauge.  I have everything in place except the switched power lead.  Anyone with experience under the dash or hood of a SN95...

    Trunk floor plug/cover

    My car is missing the plug or cover that goes in the center.  Is it a rubber plug or a metal cover?  If it is the metal cover, is it the same cover used in the floor pans so I can order one?  I found this picture as I was researching threads for info on the proper color. That makes it look like...

    Are these clips available?

    I looked all over the National Parts Depot website trying to find this clip.  I have seen the same clip on several years of Mustangs I have owned in places like the trunk and under hood.  This pictured clip happens to be off the bottom of my hood at the back.  I think it was used to somehow...

    Door Handles on eBay

    I saw these door handles on eBay, they are listed for a Lincoln, but they do mention fitting a ‘73 Mustang.  Odd to me that they don’t say they also fit a 71-72.  Does anyone have experience with these?  The price is outstanding, but...too good to be true?

    Bolt finish - fenders under hood

    I looked through the 429 site and the photos are just too blurry to see.  What is the correct finish of the fender bolts under the hood?  Painted or phosphate & oil or ??  Thank you.

    What is this?

    I found this clip inside one of the doors for my ‘72.  It is a little larger than a quarter.  What is it for?  I am guessing the latch, but not sure where it would go there.
