I get Low Lead 100 at my reginal airport for about $6 a gallon.

Sounds like I'll be calling Eric on Monday. Thanks for the info on pricing.

Just FYI - Finley at Blue Oval wants $350 a set. Was interested, but not at that price.

Mach 1 clock delete plates that actually look original.

I'd find a local shop that works on classics of any kind over going to a Ford dealer. There isn't a person in that Ford dealership that's familiar with these old cars.

When I when to a Blue Thunder intake that was an inch taller, I needed to drop the engine in order to keep my Ram Air setup. I ended up using the shorter 73 pedistals and used the 71-72 style mounts. Lowered my engine 5/8". Worked perfect. I've also heard that others have tried that and it...

I've found tons on eBay.

Here's the Mexican GT-351 decal but like said above, your VIN is USA.

Why not just take the heavy 73 urathane bumper off, take a lighter standard 73 chrome bumper and strip it and paint it body color? I assume that would bolt right up and work with the 73 fenders, would it not?

I need to replace the rear axle bearings on my 9" and I see that there are a couple of sizes/styles of bearings and seals out there. What am I looking for on my 73 so I can make sure I've got the right parts ordered ahead of time? Thanks!!

I just had to come back and say that as silly as this sounds, putting the Vibra Tite vc-3 on the idle screw is one of the best things I've done to that carb. After quite a bit of driving, my idle stays right were it needs to be, and the throttle response is always exactly where I expect it to be...

In my opinion, the body and the VIN are worth that.

2 more to go. 1 Thursday, 1 Saturday. I'm walking the show all day Friday and will be checking these out in person.
