Small Projects

Here are some pictures of  the small projects.

I'm using my old Center Lines and tires I had on my Falcon.

Removed all the BS under the hood including the vacuum operated duct valve, The Transmission Regulated Spark Control System, Coolant Spark Control, Cold Temperature Activated Vacuum System, EGR valve.

The timing chain and gears was replaced with pre-emission timing gear for more aggressive valve timing and low end torque.

I replaced the worn out rear shocks with KYB GR2 , axle bearings and seals.

I replaced the U-joints at this time also.

New alternator, Optima Red Top battery and brake light switch.

Replaced front coil springs with heavy duty Moog 8304 after I cut one coil and KYB GR2 shocks are now on all 4 corners.

The '74 4-door seatbelts I got from the junkyard didn't want to act right on a 2-door. With the seat all the way back the belt buckle would not reach though the back seat cushion.

Replacing the wiper motor wasn't as hard as I was lead to believe. 3 bolts and a clip had the old motor in the scrap pile. I did remove the instrument cluster and package tray to get better assess.

I bead blasted and painting the smaller '71 vacuum canister and found a like new fuel vapor purge line.

I found a filler neck to trunk pan seal at the Junkyard that wasn't torn. WD40 and Gojo got it looking new again.

I replaced the turn signal switch with an aftermarket switch. To wire my shift selector light to the connector plug the red retainer was removed to get access to the pin lock.

I helped a friend replace his gear ratio from a 3.00 to a 3.55. After we were done and looking at the gear, I decided the 3.00 would be better than the 2.79 gear I have under my Maverick. To my surprise this made more difference than I was expecting. The car feels lighter on it's feet and mpg didn't suffer.
