[attachment=10964][attachment=10965][attachment=10966]I am working on my 1973 Mach 1, 351-2V, FMX, and found this site when I was looking for info on E-brake replacement. Most of mine is missing, just the front cable is there.
The car was in a farmer's field and had some rust, and the farm boys had been racing it, and smashed the driver's side fender. They cut some holes in the transmission tunnel as well. I welded up the holes (with the engine out), replaced the fender, and the floor pans, and it is starting to come together.
I took the FMX out 2 weeks ago and put in a C-4, with a higher stall convertor and shift kit. The engine got a "509" cam from Summit, as well as the steel rocker arms replacing the aluminum arms, ARP rod nuts completed the engine work. The 3.50 open gears in the 9 inch just got a Yukon replacement Trac-lok unit installed, and today I was installing a Summit ignition box.
Now I just need to get those e-brakes working so it will pass inspection. Here in Alberta Canada there is no smog check, just a basic inspection (mostly brakes and steering) for safety , on cars over 10 years old.
