Hello from NE PA

[Don61]

Hello my name is Don and I am from Northeast PA. To make a long story short, my wife and I recently purchased a 1973 Mach 1, Q code at Carlisle. While sitting in the car, and thinking about making an offer, she looked at me and said, "I feel like a teenager again." (Note: I used to drive a 73 Gold Glow Mach 1 when we dated thirty years ago.) Well that sounded like a vote of approval to me. Now the car is sitting in the garage.

So, now it is time to get used to a 40 year old car that needs a little TLC. It only has 29k miles and almost no rust thanks to thick Ziebart, Rusty Jones, or something else on the car. A friend thinks it was dealer applied. The car was sold by Whally Ford Sales in Windber, PA.

Any advice on setting up an Autolite 4300?

Happy 4th of July to the 71-73 Community!

Welcome from coastal Alabama! I have an all original PA Mach 1 but it has been driven in PA and it shows.

The best way to set up a 4300 is to set it up on a shelf. Many of us have tried and I think all have went with either Holly Street Avenger or an Eddlebrock. I did both of those and I like the Street Avenger. The 770 is the perfect size.

Welcome from Oklahoma.

I have a friend with a 71 Sportsroof that was originally sold in PA. It is fairly solid and has had the Ziebart treatment. I think it was applied by the dealer.

Welcome to the site from Virginia! That's a great looking Mach 1. My 73 Convertible had the Ziebart treatment and it's amazing how rust free it is. Looking forward to seeing more pictures.
