Thank you for the tip. I took my existing filter to NAPA. The manager called Wix on my behalf. But no joy. But NAPA itself had just what I needed. Perfect fit for my 429 SCJ.
The manager at NAPA (Crystal) really knew her stuff. She is a credit to NAPA.
Looking for an air filter that fits my 429 SCJ. Ram Air set up.
Two inches high--cannot be any higher--and just shy of 14 inches in diameter.
Current filter has no manufacturer's name on it.
K&N does not make one. Neither does FRAM.
Auto parts stores no help.
Who has a similar-sized filter?
Does anyone know for sure which numbered fuse in the 1971 Mach 1 fuse panel governs the two horns? The photo from my 1971 Car Shop Manual, Volume Three, Electrical, 34-30-02, does not indicate any fuse for the horn.
Today is 19December. On 19th of December 1924, the final copy of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was sold. Today, it is valued at £37 million. The RR Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce’s claim of making the “best car in the world” – a phrase that was originally coined by Autocar magazine in...
I use a classic car (a 1979 Ford Thunderbird) as a daily driver, and drive my 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ, 2-3 times per week. So, consequently, I have had to find non-ethanol fuel for both. Wawa sells ethanol-free fuel for my 1979 Thunderbird.
But I found a local oil company that sells 101 octane...
Does anyone have a diagram or picture of the various locations where the body-bushings on the 1971 Mach 1 are located? Thanks for any help you can provide.
This Gold-Glow, 1972 Mach 1, Q Code, 351-4v, 37,000 miles, one of my former ponies, is quite similar: but this one did have the 1/2 black vinyl top, along with Hurst 4-speed, Black deluxe interior, AC, etc.
Your restorations are worth every penny you ask. No one better or takes it more seriously in the 71-73 business than you, Kevin. Perhaps, waiting for the right person who has an eye for quality work will spot your low-mileage pony and pull the trigger?
I live in mid-Pinellas County. I have two classic Fords. 1979 Thunderbird, daily driver; and 1971 Mach 1 Mustang, 429 SCJ.
Both my carburetors (Holley 750 in the Mach 1) were rebuilt by a specialist known to Tony at Will's Starter and Alternator Shop. Tony sent them out to be rebuilt and they...
Thanks for the question. I mis-spoke on the car cover for my 1971 Mach 1, which is stored indoors only. I use the one pictured from CarCovers.com. Much cheaper than Cover-craft versions. Easy to put on and take off. Keeps all dust off the car. Shields car from all moisture and water, but it is...
