    1973 service manuals free

    Talk to your Post Office about sending them "Media mail". It is much cheaper. There just can't be any advertising in it. (There shouldn't be.)

    Trunk Weatherstripping install question?

    I used NPD's weatherstripping on a convertible. It has remained soft and flexible for 8 years so far. It seems to be a good product. Just make the seam near the center at the back of the car.

    1968 Ford wagon survivor

    I miss the wagons. Lots of memories riding in the "back-back" seat.

    Rear leaf spring inquiry

    I didn't change my springs, but changed the shackles, u-bolts, and bushings. Those changes raised the back of the car about 1/2", which was noticeable at the wheel arch. My rear spring bushings were totally shot.

    Garage storage during the East Coast Winter questions?

    Michigan winters here. I do the oil change, full tank of fuel with Stabil, I over inflate the tires to around 40 psi, pull the battery and put it on a tender. I put the car cover on then put it in a zippered bag with some dessicant cans inside. I use a Car Jacket brand bag. The car comes out...

    Something actually went right today!

    I would try to open the 73 with a small screwdriver. A previous owner could have removed the tumblers. I had a buddy who did that to his ignition.

    Rebuild Update

    I was lucky I guess. I only waited a month to get mine in the shop. Front suspension, rear spring bushings, water pump, carb rebuild, and a power steering leak. I can't wait to get the bill.

    Tires-what could go wrong...

    I just replaced my tires also. When I went to the shop and they checked, I had tires from 25 to over 30 years old, and they still looked great. I was driving it on the freeway, too. I don't even want to think about blowing a tire at 65 or 70 mph in that car. I felt so much better having new...

    73 convertible top problem

    Your print shows a second circuit breaker integral with the pump motor. I think that is an overtemp switch. It doesnt sound like the top was running long enough to get the motor hot enough to trip that switch, but it would be good to feel the motor to see if it is getting hot.

    Has anyone tried to use a camera snake

    I heard this tip years ago: "To identify the amount of wear in a timing chain, begin by removing all of the spark plugs and the distributor cap. With a wrench on the harmonic balancer bolt, turn the crankshaft at least two complete revolutions backward of rotation to remove any slack from the...

    Magnum 500 center cap rant

    I had used the Scott Drake caps on mine, and even though I didnt hsve the problem with them hitting the grease caps, the machining for the threads was less quality than it should have been. I had caps flying off at highway speed. Thankfully they didnt hit the paint. They were just missing...

    73 console, decent shape

    I am interested in the air ducts. Did you have a price in mind for them?

    Down the "more power is always better" rabbit hole?

    IMHO, which isn't worth much, what do we need all that power for. I sure hate to see it on the street. It just doesnt belong there. I do enjoy seeing it on the track. I have grandkids that will play near the neighbohood street, and i am always telling them not to go out there, but kids will...
