Just what the title says, has anyone converted to fuel injection on your 351c? What did you use? How did it work? Are you happy with it? Not that it matters much but mine is a 71 M code (I'm pretty sure it's the right short block, I really need to check that _if_ there is a difference, but...

Everything I touch on this car is a mess... So i was trying to figure out why I can't get the car in park and in the process of trying to get the car up high enough in the air to get to the linkage (on a sloped surface) I found that the back brakes don't work at all. Well while looking at the...

Anyone running an aftermarket automatic shifter? What do you like/don't like? Why? Pics?

More on the continuing saga of my basket case, caugh project car. I found that I couldn't keep it from rolling, I knew that the parking brake was hosed (more accurately someone cut the lines going from it and the back ones were missing entirely), but I coudln't get it in park either. I finally...

My car came with a 3.00:1 open rear... I've been thinking about picking up a setup "chunk" (gears, carrier, housing...) so I could just bolt it in in the place of the stock one. Probably a locker or one of the more performance oriented setups. I'm wondering what spline count the stock axles...

I'm wondering if anyone has swapped one in the place of their stock alternator. I figure I'll eventually run electric fans and I'm thinking of a few other things _and_ I have one sitting in the basement (plus the setup on mine is all hacked together and weird anyway) Anyone have any details...

I'm guessing that hooker and headman long tube headers are probably the most common on these cars- mine came with a set installed. I need to put an exhaust on the car, and got the pypes stainless kit, which has the head pipes in front of the X that you trim and adjust for the collector...

This is quickly going up on my list of annoyances on the basket case. The driver's door hinge spring is missing. Where can I get a new one? Are they tough to replace?

Anyone do it? Have pics? Seems like running exhaust out the back is a bs hassle on the staggered shock cars, which got me wondering about doing something like this (this is for an earlier mustang): http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCatalog/Exhaust/side-exhaust-kit.htm Thoughts?

When I pull up on my hood, the hinges pivot up and forward, dragging the back edge of the hood over the top of the fender (and when I say top I mean top, not the edge where the hood fits, more like maybe >1/4" past that across the top of the fender. How do I fix that? While I'm at it, the...

It's the age old question with older cars, seems like everyone wants a black interior in them... Well my '71 Mach 1 was originally a blue car with a blue interior (currently painted red with black stripes, but that may change too, maybe back to blue of some sort, or possibly even to black on...

I found it hanging down under my passenger side fender/rocker (that's the front wheel well behind the front tire that you're looking at):

How does the shifter linkage on a C6 work? It looks like it has multiple arms, only one connected to something.... the cable from the shifter has a long slotted end, I'm guessing for adjustment, and I'm not sure how this thing is supposed to be (or even if I have all the necessary parts). What...

the story so far: http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-help-me-get-this-thing-started Well, I got it to start and sort of run, but not well enough to try to drive it. The basic problem is that it will start, but I can't get it to run consistently below 2000rpm. If I back of the throttle screw...

What are the good off the shelf exhaust options (my car is a 71 Mach 1)? My concerns are: flow- if i"m going to be honest, I'll be much more pissed off if it costs me .1s at the dragstrip then if it does anything else wrong quiet- baring the first concern, I'd rather have it as quiet as...

My new project came with, well no working door handles or locks, so I ordered some new ones from Mustangs Plus, and they just don't look right. To start with the details are just not as nice as the ones on the broken ones that I found in the car, but I don't think they look right/line up right...

I brought a new puppy home: 71 Mach 1, it's supposed to be an M code 351C (but it has 2bbl heads and a weiand xcellerator intake), C6... It has an edelbrock 1405 600cfm carb (with electric choke) and a Mallory electronic distributor. The ignition wiring is all cut up and hacked, but I do...
