The codes all check out from the picture he sent me. They show a 351 2v Grande, with an FMX transmission. Paint and interior codes match what the pictures show.

I asked the guy for the codes on the data sticker. We will see what he has to say. I'd run a marti report just to see what it actually came with. I love deciphering what these old Mustangs originally came equipped with.

See, This is what I was waiting for. I thought it weird as well that it didn't have the clock and had the instrumentation group. In 1972, ford was trumpeting the "personal" aspect of the mustang so maybe it came from the factory that way. I'm going to ask him for the codes.

I'm sure it won't last long. Shame I'm so far away. Owner tells me he had a 4 barrel edelbrock put in. Claims it takes longer to warm up.

Saw his '72 Grande for sale on craigslist. I might just consider it but I'm about 8 hours away. I LOVE the color. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4439237411.html Claims to be a low miles grande with what looks like the instrumentation package and a rim blow horn. I'm wondering why there's...

Mine is riveted in there, I know that. I'm hoping I can pop that plastic "roller" on there rather than drilling out the whole thing.... Worst case, I have to take out the regulator and put a new one in.

Chuck, Thanks a ton! I'll pick one of those up tonight and see if it works. I guess I just pop the plastic piece onto the nub I have left on my regulator? Joe

I took my door panel off today on the passenger side to see why my window crashed to the bottom of the door. It appears that there is no plastic roller on the regulator where it goes into the channel hooked up to the window. Is there a replacement roller I can put on there, or do I have to...

I suspected as much. I wasn't going to shell out the $600 for the Buy it Now, regardless. I could get a set of NEW Mag 500's for that.

Something just does not look right on those. My original wheels (based on the spare) were not slotted like those.

All, I need to know all the spots on my 1973 hardtop where I can find the VIN. I know I have the plate on the dash, the sticker on the driver's door, and a stamped plate attached to the radiator support sort of behind the driver's headlight bucket. Are there any other locations? Thanks, Joe

Mike, Thanks! That is great information. The hubcaps are very easy to find, as Ford used them on a bunch of cars. I'll keep my eyes open for the rims and wheels. However, my car came with F70x14 tires from the factory. Would that be the 14 x 7 wheel or a 14 x 6 wheel? After some research...

Those may work, but I think the originals may have been wider and had the hole for the valve more in the middle rather than just a wedge cut out. There was a set sold by motor city mustang last year and the pics are still on this site.

I'm considering removing the Keystone Klassic wheels I have on my '73 and going back to the style that it came with from the factory, which is the steel wheels with trim rings and dog-dish style hubcaps. That stuff was standard with the Decor Group, and I'm weird, but I like the look. Does...

Right now, the only hose leaking does not have any fittings on it, rather it's just on with hose clamps. I'm guessing that means its a return hose?

Quick one here, guys. I was out in my '73 on Saturday morning, and when I came home, I smelled something like burning oil. Upon examination, it looked like my drivers side valve cover had sprung a leak. That's something that is annoying, but not overly awful, but I was still a bit annoyed. I...

Thread wrap is even good for the transmission end?

I think next up is going to be seeing if I can't get that transmission leak under control, but from what I'm reading, c-6 trannies just leak. After that, probably the temperature gauge, and then maybe starting on the suspension. As soon as it warms up, I'm going to start trying to buff it with...

Again, Thanks for the info. My only experience with internal engine stuff is with my old VW motors, but I definitely know what a rod knock sounds like, as I've thrown rods in those motors before. VW's are also well known for valve/lifter noise, and I always set my valves loose, so I think I...

If a quick tightening doesn't work, I'm going to get a set of flexible lines in there rather than go through the soul-crushing pain of putting in the fitted steel lines. There is another item over there near where the lines come into the trans, looks like some kind of modulator or sensor. It...
