I have several early 70s 1F carburetors. They all need rebuilds. DM me if interested.

why not just repair your stock gauges? Your issue is probably a single wire connection, the wiring for your year is super simple. How about we help you diagnose and get them working here on the forum

Sitting in the garage in the dark due to a power outage.....figured I'd swap out brake pedals.

Rain gauge from Friday-this morning. 5.4” from Saturday night through the end of the storm. So 28.1” at my house since July 15th. Crazy…

Switched gears today and removed the old crappy window tint from the passenger side door. Turned out pretty good and wasn't too bad to scrap off. I then took a razor to the rest of the windows and removed all the overspray. Applied some RainX...

Pinion seal has been replaced. Removed old transmission cooler lines. Got the new cooler mounted. Wasted one section of 5/16 tube trying to make a line. Gave up for the day. There's beer to drink......lol :beer:

Got most of my supplies. Hopefully it all goes together nicely and I stay motivated to get all this done....lol It cool and rainy this weekend, so it will very pleasant in the garage.

Now that it's not oven like outside.......I can cruise my no ac vehicles in comfort. I took the Mustang for a cruise last night and tonight. Tonight I drove it longer than ever before. The current setup and tach shows I am only going 45 mph...

I got the stainless steel channels installed then tucked the weather strip into the groove. Turned out pretty good. Now I need to get the windows to cooperate. New regulators might be needed.

Nobody ever uses the FAQs... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/intake-manifold-variations-faq.74943/

Pretty sure there's a intake manifold comparison in the FAQ at the top of the page.

Since I got home early from wheeling. I wire wheeled then painted the upper door jam areas. There's a stainless steel c channel piece that screw in this area and holds the weather strip. Will add that after the paint dries.

The clouds and the green desert were a refreshing sight. Fun little day trip. Stopped and had a burger at the bar on the way home.

Spotted this guy checking out my truck. After that, Pat did some needed body work after the flex test with new tires.

Took the fake 45 up to the Big Reef Mill. It's about a 90 round trip from my house. My friend Pat took his newly acquired GX470 out to test it off road for the first time. Weather was perfect. Got rained on alittle on the way to the bar...

I removed the side view mirrors cause they were kinda floppy. I redid the nut inserts for the mounts. Then cleaned and painted everything in that area. I got new gaskets for under the mirror bases. All back together now.

Glued and screwed the door weather strip in place. Next I need to fix and or adjust the window regulators. Then install the upper rubber. Then hopefully........no more door rattles.

Morning test drive was successful. It never went above 180. Drove it farther than before. My cheesy overflow catch can broke, so I need a new one. I'll go cruising some more and see if it stays good.

Thanks for the info. I flushed out the radiator again. There was no debris behind the thermostat housing either. Reassembled everything and waiting for my rtv to set up before I fill it back up. Ultimately I will probably rework the core...

I thought that was a new radiator. Even though I'm also in AZ, you guys are even hotter where you live. I played with electric fans on a few vehicles (Chevy, Ford and Toyota) but, none of them ever worked for me. I always ended up going back to...

Drove to the local gas station last night. Probably the first time for this car in over 25 years. Radiator is still clogged up. It's fine a slow speeds and idling in the garage. Driving over say 30 mph and the motor creeps up to 230 degrees...

Then at about 3pm Saturday they line up all the cars entered in the Battle of the Beaters. Then interview and judge the cars if they should be let in or not with the crowds applause level. The judges were not approving of the 1969 Mustang...

Saturday was good. Lots of people, burn out pit going, all the stuff. Made those 2 passes earlier and was feeling pretty good.

The Mustang survived the weekend. My friend Steve with his 383 sbc 55 Chevy and I went racing at the Duct Tape Drags held at Firebird just south of Phoenix. Got there Friday morning. Made it thru tech with no issues. Made 4 passes. First...

Getting some tasty BBQ on my way to the track.
