• 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
  OK hopefully that won't come off as clickbait but just thought this was funny. Got an email from CJP about their big Memorial day sale including things like AC systems that never go on sale. On a $1,700 purchase, check out that huge discount.
• 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 […]
