I have a 1970 Mach 1. Looking to get rid of the stock steering and upgrade to a rack and pinion. What in your opinion is the best choice? Theres so many I have no idea. Looking for something that's straight forward to install with no major modification.

Hi all! I have a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351W and a FMX Trans. I have owned this car for about 30 years and drive it fairly often in the summer months. My problem is there has been a slow leak coming from the front of the bellhousing when I park the car. It drips a few after parking then stops. I...

I lowered my 1970 Mach 1 by getting 2inch drop coils and 2inch lowering blocks. My question is "do I need to be concerned with drive shaft angle? How would I adjust if needed? Should I shim up the tranny some? Would this be enough to help? Any advice is appreciated.

Got a 70 Mach 1 Was riding it the other night and the headlights suddenly went out. Dash lights and markers stayed on. Just the headlights. They went back on in a couple of seconds but went off a couple of seconds later. I then hit the brights and they came back on but only to go out a...

I have a 70 Mach I w/ a 351w and a FMX trans. I put it away for winter a couple of months ago and the other day I noticed a fairly large leak. It was dripping from the bellhousing of the trans. Is it the seal on the input shaft? Or is it somthing to do with the torque converter? It is a...

My 16yr old nephew has a stock 2 barrel 289 automatic 68 mustang. Him and his dad want to "hop it up". I recommended a carb, cam, manifold and a set of headers. Is there anyone that can recomend a good package or combination for this engine? With these parts will they be able to feel a...

Quick question on my tranny tailshaft. I was trying to find a vibration I've been having and I took my driveshaft off to inspect it. When I did this I noticed that with the driveshaft off I am able to wiggle the tailshaft of the tranny around pretty easily with my fingers. Is this normal or...

I have a 70 Mach 1. I recently bought and installed a 3.70 trac loc geared chunk . I love the acceleration difference between the 2.90 gear I had before. Theres a massive deceleration whine now though. Is there anything I can do about that? Or is it just from aftermarket gears? I believe...

I have a 1970 Mach 1. This is the second post but the first post didn't fix the problem. I installed LED's in my instrument cluster. When I got done everything worked except the Fuel, oil and Temp gauges. The gauges worked fine before installing the LED's. First thought was the IVR. Bought...

Do I have this right? If I connect 12v to one terminal of the IVR and a grounded test light to the other terminal, should the test light blink? Which terminal should get the 12v? When I connect the 12v to the terminal that is towards the center of the cluster and the grounded test light to...

I have a 16 year old nephew with mustang on his brain. We found a 1968 coupe that looks good for him. The only concern I have is it is originally a 6 cylinder car that the guy put a 289 in. He did nothing else to the car besides put the engine in. What should be my worries when looking at...

I have a 1970 Mach 1. I had some dash lights out and decided to replace all of them. Went fairly smooth replacing the bulbs. Got the connector and speedo cable back in. Checked to see if the lights all worked and success!! They worked. That was a few weeks ago. It finally got nice here...

This may be a question dependent on taste but I thought I would ask your opinions. I recently put a dual exhaust valance on my 70 Mach 1. I got some stock style chrome tips for it but was wondering how far they should stick out of the rear valance. What do you guys think? Pics would be...

This is the first time I have removed my center section from my 70 Mach 1. It is a nine inch. I removed the axles and the ten nuts around the center section. The thing does not even budge. I put a floor jack under it and lifted the whole car up. Still did not budge. Since this is my...

Im getting a new center section for my 9 inch. What type of fluid should I use? What type and how much "friction modifier" should be used? What size speedo gear should I use in a FMX tranny with 3.70 Gears? My stock gear had 19 teeth. Is there any kind of break in when running...

A magazine I receive did an article on LED dash lights. I looked at the web site and thought it looked like a pretty neat system. Went to order them and they wanted 12 bucks to ship the light bulbs. I know I'm cheap, but I thought that was crazy to pay that for shipping some little light...

I have a 70 Mach 1 with a fmx trans, 351w with holley 600 aluminum intake, headers all mild hop up stuff. Presently have 2.90 rear gears in it. Im going to be buying a posi and gears. What would you suggest for a fun weekend cruiser? Want to be able to feel the difference. My gut says...

Maybe someone here can give me some info. I have a 70 Mach 1 with a 351w and FMX tranny. I have a nine inch with an open diff w/ 3.00 gears. I would like some better gears like 3.70 and obviously a posi. I have someone that will sell me a 28 spline 4 pinion Trac loc with the small...
