70Mach03

Been running a Pertronix in my M-code 351C now for 10 years with ZERO problems. The only issue is for folks who stick with a stock coil. The Pertronix is a much hotter spark and will eventually burnout a stock type coil. :smile:

I saw this great looking 1970 Mustang Fastback body sitting on top of a stretched 1997 Mustang Cobra chassis. Fantastic job the owner did.:thumbup1: More pic's here:

I actually bought something from a JC Whitney catalog back in the late 70's I thought was an intermittent setup but it was more of an "interrupter Gear" setup like on WWI fighter planes. It would intermittently stop the wipers at the top of the travel or mid-window at times. (LOL) :001_rolleyes:

I don't remember it being an option on 1969's. Not saying it wasn't just don't remember it. I had it on a 1970 Convertible I had years ago and somewhere I've got most of the parts I took off a wrecked 1970 Cougar about 5 years ago that had the option.

Is that for the intermittent wipers?

Or at least a 24 hour wait period until membership can be approved. :crying:

Probably cheaper than a locksmith too. (LOL)

Don't worry about it. I still wonder around the house looking for my reading glasses and have my wife tell me there on top of my head. But my worst was looking for my car keys the other day and after 5 minutes realizing they were in my other hand. :sad:

Just a suggestion, but can't you just remove the door lock and take it to a locksmith? Won't that be the same as the ignition switch?

Pak, the spam clowns are back with a vengeance. What can we the members do to help you eradicate this "rust" off the website? Report the posts or the user? Let us know, even a couple of "Cop/delete" only admins might help. :death:

Yeah, pretty stupid stuff but I'm sure our admins are trying. I guess deleting and blocking isn't good enough to get rid of them. :(

I feel your pain and know how you feel. Been there, done that. :redface:

I drove my 2014 Shelby GT-500 and got 25.5 mpg on one tank. Even going through the mountains and maintaining 70+ mph still got 23+. I compute my mpg manually. The "MPG" gauge in both my last two GT-500's always showed me using about 10% slightly more fuel than the pump. Here's a link to a Carlisle Album of pictures I took while up there. Got there a day early and went with a group to the Carlisle Military Museum and went shooting with some other friends who live in the area on the last day. Had a blast, again as usual, and tried to get pictures of most of the 1969-70 Mustangs in attendance.

Well one man's trash can be another man's treasure (and vice versa). Interesting concept with the chiseled home made front-end look. Probably wouldn't take a lot to return the front-end to a stock look. Personally I'd go with a 1969 Shelby GT-350/500 front-end and look. It does look home made to me so I'd give the guy a little credit for trying. :rolleyes:

Good luck, I chased a NOS switch for several years and saw prices climb over $200 on e-Bay and the likes. Finally went to CJ Pony Parts for a repo part for $50. https://www.google.com/#q=1970+Mach+1+Sport+Light+Switch&tbm=shop&spd=4742335572711528877

I gone every year since the beginning of this century (LOL). Okay this will make my 15th year in a row. A little too far to drive my '70 Mach so I'll take the newer Shelby. Always a blast and lot's to see and many small parts and pieces to buy too. :)

Wow, you guys sound like you have economy cars compared to my old 1970 428 SCJ with Factory Drag Pack and 4.30 gears. It was an auto and I got 5 to 7 mpg around town and 10 on the highway if I stayed under 60 mph. This was in the early to mid-70's. I sold it in 1977 when gasoline hit .75 a gallon. It was costing me nearly $15 to fill the tank. It was basically stock with F70x14 Goodyear Polyglass tires. As a side note my daily driver today is a 2014 Shelby GT-500. The 5.8 Supercharged motor is rated at 662 net hp and the EPA fuel economy rating says 15 to 24 mpg. I don't normally drive it that hard and get 17 mpg in my normal commutes and recently got 25.5 mpg on a 200 mile all interstate trip by driving 70 mph (not as easy as it sounds, LOL).

Jeff Ford's a hoot. Saw him at Charlotte and got him to pose for me wearing a "Where's Jim Smart button".

Based on your expected usage, don't bother. Enjoy your ride.

I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted plus Saturday was a washout, literarily, but I was the official photographer for "Team Mustang Girls" and missed a lot of other shots as I was trying to get picture so her and other folks. Team Mustang Girls:

The calypso coral 1970 convertible in the background is a former car of mine. It is a W-code 428 SCJ car I sold back in 1977 and helped the present owner track it down a few years ago. It's featured in Jerry Heasley's newest Ford and Mustangs Rare finds book.

Lot of great 1969/70 Mustangs there. Here's a link to some of the pic's I took:

The 71 is not the same although it looks similar. Mine went out a few years back and I chased them on e-bay up to around $200 before dropping out. Finely found a complete 1970 steering column at Carlisle for $50. I then asked the vendor if I could borrow a wrench to remove just the switch. He said, "If that's all you want I got a whole box of them over here." He then brought over a cardboard box that had about a dozen in it for $10 each. I bought two. When I got back home, I took out some electronic tuner cleaner and cleaned up both of them good plus my original switch. I got them so clean, I wasn't sure which was my original. However, whichever one I picked and put back in worked great. You might want to try that with your original switch. Spray it real good and work the mechanism back and forth. It may work for you.

Here's a link to some of mine:

Cool! When does the show debut?
