They even let us go outside and drive our cars around here in Texas! Hope you are gonna get to do that again soon down there in Aussie land!

Working on anything under the dash in these cars is annoying to say the least. From the vacuum systems to the heater/blower - everything is upside down and a PITA. Just pull the seats, and throw some foam down, and get a hunk of leather to bite-down on.

The AC version is quite different I believe from non-AC. so he will need a different exploded view. Hopefully someone has it or a link to it.

I'm not sure I see the same thing.  I also believe the hash marks are 2deg increments.  On the right hand side of the image, I see another 10 deg mark (had to zoom in to see) but I interpret this position to be 10 degs below TDC...  Looks to me like the marker is directly over the 10 BTDC mark. ...

I used these same guys for a dual system with H-pipe on a 302 69 coupe. Fantastic fit. I would say that the mufflers are a tad on the quiet side, but the exhaust system was just fantastic. Highly recommend them. There was not a huge cost to ship, and I even live in TX. So, I had an...

Thanks for the help guys. No more evidence yet as I keep experimenting. These problems that pop up randomly are slow to troubleshoot!

Hey guys. It's been awhile from me on this topic, but I am nearing a complete rebuild, and I have a new recommended option for cleaning up bolts. it takes a day or two and involves the rock tumbler, but I have found a simpler easier method. Before I was recommending use of grit and water in a...

Thanks. Copy that. I'll follow up when I get more info...

Well it seems the old girl is "powering down" on me occasionally now. Has happened 3x now while driving. At low-speed or idle, but in-gear. Car is C4 auto trans. Symptom is complete power outage. Engine immediately quits, radio, lights, other internal electrical also go out. In all cases...

Ran into a gentleman today in town that had a nice dark green driver 73. He was unhappy about the 73 bumper and wanted to replace it with a chrome bumper. I am bumping this to the front of the list so that if the guy makes it to this site per my recommendation, he'll be able to find this...

Great feedback- It would be cool to have more tech info. If you pay for the "fully custom order" ($80) you caould probably have him add any of the info or styling you like....

Very cool pic!

I just heard of this artist on the 69stang forum. The artist will create a custom "blueprint" of your car. $80 for a custom (basically whatever you want on there, you can send him specs, pics etc), but he will do a "standard" year for $25 or so. Blueprints are 18x24in, and look pretty nice...

Good stuff. Thanks for the link

Here is some hopefully helpful info. I rebuilt my proportioning valve (been thru this stuff with 2 cars - a 71 & the other a 69), and I would say one thing that may have been missed above is that the plastic sensor switch that is in the prop valve should not be exposed to fluid. If fluid...

Have you verified that your distributor is not installed "one cog off"? Could this be a possible cause? If the dist. is installed one cog off, the engine won't run well until the dist is rotated to what seems too far to the right. I am wondering if your symptoms indicate this could be the...

yes, I am curious why these tires are $52 per tire cheaper than the goodrich, I am concerned about 2 things, slipping on wet roads, and tire noise. Does anybody out there that has these cooper tires have any thoughts about how loud or hard they are? A friend found a decent review of these...

Amazing advice guys. I found that my discount tire has 235/60 R15's for $80 too. Great price. That's literally $52 PER TIRE cheaper than the BF Goodrich. The ratings seem comparable. Does anyone have any experience how these tires do on wet roads?

Howdy from Texas! Nice looking engine even if we can't hear it running yet. The guys on this forum will make restoring you car a ton of fun - enjoy.

Just want to reinforce - DON'T USE POLY. So many stories of squeaking, and in the struct-rods literal shattering of the rod itself with poly bushings. I bought rubber and I think it works great. Just wears out faster than we like. Also - I don't see sway bar frame bushings in that kit...
