thank you again! This helps tremendously!

Now I see what I’m missing. It’s the small steel platform that is welded onto the upper panel above the pinch weld. The nut retainer slides over this. I can definitely rig something up similar to that. Time to break out the welder! Thank you!

Steve you are a lifesaver. That is exactly the info I was needing. I was so confused before but now it all makes sense. I think I can tackle this on my own now. Thank you!

Thanks for the input. I’ll look into the shifter tomorrow to see if that’s where it’s hopefully located. My Mustang is a 1973 and came with the 351 two barrel carburetor.

On the lower part of the fender towards the front of the fender bolt hole directly behind the wheel I cannot find anything to bolt the fender to. I'm sure there's something missing. I could Google it and search for days and days but I know somebody here could tell me exactly what it is. The...

Hello, I am looking for a used 1973 Mach One grille assembly with all the moldings, emblem, lamps and headlamp trim. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can email pics to [email protected] or post them here. Thanks.

Finally figured it out. Thanks for all the advice. I couldn’t have done it without you!

Well I went out this morning thinking the ignition switch was faulty and replaced it with a known good one. It started just fine but when I tried to shut the car off it continued to run with the key out. Here’s a few pictures of my solenoid, distributor and where I spliced into the red with blue...

Sorry, I meant the big yellow wire from the factory harness (has a fusible link) is connected to the battery side of the solenoid. I have the wire coming from the distributor connected to the S terminal of the solenoid. Sorry, I’m horrible with wiring.

Thank you Don, you’ve been very helpful. I will try and study the tutorial. Somebody on another post said the starter solenoid using HEI distributor should be wired like this which is the way I wired mine. Big solid yellow wire - front stud of starter solenoid, along with BATT (+) cable Light...

Another problem arose. The car started fine from the key cylinder but when I went to turn it off the car kept running...with the ignition off and the keys out. I disconnected the battery and it continued to run. I finally had to disconnect the main lead to the distributor. I know there has to be...

I thought that too so I dropped the steering column and disconnected the rod then manually controlled the ignition switch by hand just to be absolutely sure.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I tapped into the wire and now I can start the car using the key. Now I just need to figure out how to incorporate a NSS to the C6 transmission ?

I checked and one of the red wires with blue stripes will light up only in the crank position. I hope this is a good thing.

I just tried that and still nothing. When I turn my key in the on position I don’t even hear the electric fuel pump running. The way I wired my solenoid is the big yellow wire and battery cable goes to the left (front) big post on the solenoid and the rear big post to the starter wire. The red...

Hey guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted. My Mustang project was put on hold for a few years and I just finally got started back on it. The good news is I got the engine running and boy it runs great. I’m having problems cranking the engine from the key switch. I can start the car by jumping...

Thank you HemiKiller....that’s exactly what I needed. The red, yellow and black are actually coming from the HEI distributor so I’m still a little confused on where those go. I’m assuming the yellow with go to the big yellow terminal, the red to the battery and the black to ground.

After looking over the wiring diagram and a picture of the distributor I’m still lost. Is there anybody that could look on their wiring harness and see where the wires go? I know some goes to the solenoid some goes to the distributor and some goes to the alternator but I’m just not sure and I...
