5 volume shop manual set for 73 Mustang and other Ford vehicles, plus some electrical schematics for the Mustang. Good shape. $50 plus shipping. Would rather meet in Joplin, Mo.

Ref: 73 Center caps and lug nuts I have Crager Keystone Klassics, universal fit, 14" wheels (C554-B stamped on the back of the wheel) with center caps that use a backing plate, and bolt to the backing plate with a single center screw. I measure the small diameter of the backing plate (that is...

You've got a very nice lineup of cars. i agree that the 73 is a nice driver, as well as eye candy. with the high speed rear end its a road cruiser. thanks for the input. Ken

I've thought about ebay, but i would prefer to have a buyer see it in person and drive it. it takes away the potential for issues with buyers that get caught up in bidding and then have second thoughts and blame a refusal on an imperfection that i didnt happen to get a photo of. I don't know...

Chuck, thanks for the suggestions.. It's difficult to sell a Mustang that you have had for a while. Good luck to you too Ken

Thanks Mike

Thank you for the feedback.

I have a 73 vert that i am going to sell and would like some input on market value. I want to be fair to myself and the potential buyer. I've looked at what I believe to be comparable Mustangs, and it looks like they are priced from $26k to $32k. My pony has a 351C 2 bbrl, FMX tranny, 2.75...

Thanks for the explanation. I understand now.

The 10.6 was with the engine idling, the voltage is a little over 5 with key in the on position, engine off.

I've started the low idle adjusting needles at being backed out from the seat by 1 turn and went to 2-1/2 turns. At 1-1/4 turns out I got 19" at a fast idle (choke hadn't pulled off yet, when it idled down the reading went to 16". Coil voltage was about 10.7v. 16-17" of vac is the best I've...

I'm measuring 10.3v at both small terminals on the Pertronix. How do I bypass the internal resistor?

I've watched the choke/ fast idle pull off move as the engine warms. The voltage at the terminals on the Pertronix is running at 10.6v (+/- a few tenths due to readout of the digital VOM bouncing a little). Isn't there a dropping resistor on some systems?

As mentioned, i have rebuilt the carb. there isn't any black smoke coming out at start up, idle or while driving.

it has a pertronix flamethrower coil and pointless ignition., but I verified that the coil connections are tight and that the small wire connections are clean and tight. I verified that there is fuel squirting onto the throttle plates after it died. (I responded to your questions a couple of...

I’ve rebuilt the carb which included new power valve, and the engine starts and runs good. No black smoke when idling or when I kick it.

Update: I drove 1/2 mile to the intersection with the highway and the engine remained running during the U-turn, but the idle was faster than what i set it at yesterday sitting in the shop. i drove it home without incident turning back into the driveway. I turned around in my drive and went for...

Sorry it took so long to respond- family stuff this weekend. I checked coil connections- coil connection is tight, and small wire connections are clean and tight. I’ll drive it as soon as the weather settles down and check the suggestion on the carb. However, if I adjust the idle up using the...
