    Ignition switch pulled out with key

    When I pulled out my key the whole ignition switch came out along with several small parts, I have no clue where they go but they appear to be part of the ignition switch.    Do I need to just get another ignition switch (which also mean rekeying the doors)?  Any suggestions welcome.

    Paint question on rear spoiler

    I have an original rear spoiler that no matter what I do I keep having bubbles that show up, it's not the paint rising it's the fiberglass bubbling. I've tried everything including sanding all the paint off then resurfacing areas with fiberglass repair to insure it's super smooth. After a few...

    German Ford Mustang Cop Car

    I like it, from the article: For whatever reason, any car ends up being several magnitudes cooler once it's turned into a cop car. The result is the same even when you start with an already cool car, as evidenced by Germany's new Polizei Ford Mustang. The special Ford Mustang GT is the German...

    Proper fluid for 1971 power steering pump

    Last year I replaced my power steering pump with a rebuilt one from Autozone, all was well for a while but now this one is starting to make a similar whining noise as the one I replaced. The belt is new and tight, plus the fluid level is full. I may have messed up because I put power steering...

    Yesterday I was looking for the right oil filter in the auto section and someone behind me said "Motorcraft FL1A", at first I didn't realize the guy was talking to me and he said it again, I turned around and it was member Totalled, Pat. So I got the filter and some oil, went home put the oil...

    84 year old Shatner to cross country in trike

    William Shatner is heading across the country this summer, but this trip is a bit more Easy Rider than Star Trek. Originally announced earlier this year, a date is finally set for the original Captain Kirk to be like a rocket man on the open road on his Rivet art deco trike.   Boasting an...

    Found out some interesting background on my Mach1

    I bought the car from a guy who turns out to be the son of Bill Gate's first secretary. She was Microsoft went to work for Gates when "he" was only 19 years old, she retired as his office manager. I know it doesn't increase it's value but it does make for an interesting conversation.

    Adjusting shift points on a C6

    My C6 shifts through the gears really early (under normal acceleration) putting me in high gear at very low RPMs and low speeds. It also stays in a high gear rather than down shifting at slow speeds, downshifting requires a harder than normal acceleration. So any recommendations on what I can...

    71's Rear End Leaking

    Yesterday was a sunny Northwest day so for the first time in two months I took the Mustang out for a drive. I found a puddle of fluid under the rear end where it had been sitting in the garage. I'd never noticed a leak before, any guesses at what may be causing the leak if so how big a job is...

    Example of using wrong dash paint

    Took the car out yesterday to kill some bugs and I didn't realize how reflective my dash is until I hooked up my GoPro. You can see how much it reflects onto the windshield limiting view. I used a black matte paint but looks like I'll need to take it back off and use a flat black. I also...

    A chrome Mach 1

    Not my taste but I think the hood should have been black chrome instead of white, top it off with black chrome wheels and it would really be a chrome car.

    Need a power steering pump pulley

    I ordered one from eBay, the guy advertised is as fitting a 71 Mustang with a 351C, it turned out to be twice the size of the one I have on the car and the shaft is the wrong size. Mine has a wobble, checked it out and it is warped. Summit has chrome ones but I'd prefer a stock looking black...

    4V closed chambered heads on

    I was hesitant to remove my 2V heads and put on 4V closed chambered heads on my 71 M code (previous owner had removed the 4V heads). I had read a lot about the 2V heads having better low end torque and street manners plus the closed chambered 4V needs higher octane fuel. ..but I went ahead and...

    Bought the wife a new AWD

    All kidding aside this Husqvarna AWD mower kicks butt on slopes and wet grass. I've got a large back yard with steep slopes and it's very rare the grass is ever completely dry here in Washington State so mowing is a pain. Saw the advertisement for this one and thought I would give it a try...
