• Hard starting 1406 Carb new problem.
  I have a had a 1406 Edlebrock carb on my car for about 6 years with no issues. Lately the car is becoming hard to start. It does not seem to be getting fuel. I have to keep pumping the gas petal for a long time to get fuel. Once it starts it runs fine […]
• Hello, from NYC. 73 Mach 1
  Bought a 73 Q code, 4 speed manual a month ago. Been wanting a 71-73 for over 20 years. This one is very clean overall, but not idling great. Coughs through the carb sometimes, has done a few loud backfires while driving, sometimes will die at idle on its own, has done a little bit […]

  Well, since my 73 Coupe burned, I've been working on getting another project. I was able to find a 73 Mach 1, and last weekend, my wife and I drove to eastern Tennessee and picked it up. Yesterday, I was able to clean it out, and vacuum the trash from the floor to see just […]
• Big sale? on AC systems at CJPonyParts

• Leaky front crank seal.
  After replacing the front main seal on my boss, it continues to leak. I’ve changed it twice. I’ve sleeved it with a kit. Still leaks a drop or so after running. Any secret to installing the damper? I’ve used plenty of lube, SLOWLY seated it on the crank, no other way due to the snug […]
• Anything AVOCADO!
  Hello members. I have a 73 mach 1 with an avocado interior. i've been able to source some of the interior parts such as carpet and headliner.

  Well, I'm getting started on my 5-speed swap. Since there are no documented C-6 to T-5 swaps that I can find on the net i figured why not post my exploits here. My parts selection may be unique to this particular swap but there is a reason for their selection... so here it goes. The […]
