MooseStang - '72 Convertible Q

[MooseStang]

Hi all, thanks for the add.   Recently acquired 72 vert, 351C Q.   First time back in a stang since I was in college ( 72 Grande 302)

Moose has a few issues to work out, but overall in good shape.  I'll be poking around for info and asking questions.

Welcome from North Idaho.  Great site here.  Lots of really helpful guys.  I have learned a bunch since joining up last year!

 

[MooseStang]

I've got some play in my tilt steering. What should I be looking at to tighten it up?

Nice ride, Sherman has some nice inventory...congratulations. Did you get a Marti report? It would be interesting to see it.

 

[MooseStang]

Thanks all for the compliments. Here's the Marti and a swag pic from yesterday. 

 

[MooseStang]

So, here's what I have seen don't match with Marti or are known to be replaced.  Please let me know if you spot anything else. 

Engine - not original. Has the correct stamp, .4 heads. Edelbrock intake & carb.

Paint - not original 5H (what is it? 6B light goldenrod? Or doesn't match any code?)

Radio - am/fm/8-track. Fm?

Top - currently black, has the glass

 

[MooseStang]

Ignition cylinder won't move to Accessory position, and I can't figure out how to remove. What position do I need?

Help please?
