Question, where all the 1970 mustangs fitted with the wooly engine compartment isolation or was that optional.
Is it usefull to fit it in the compartment or not ?

I saw I real nice Mach 1 with the Isolator added and was thinking of adding it myself aswell.

Does anyone have a specific brand, model number, length, etc. that they are running with? It seems that the belt fits in the alt properly, but sits to deep in the bottom pulley?? I'd love to get this resolved quickly as its too embarrassing right now to drive with this noise. I think its louder than the engine, and that's pretty loud!! Thanks again for all of your help!

I've searched the Boss 302 foryum and it appears some say that the 275 60R15's rub a bit, some say they don't. Others have said that 255 60R15 is a good "large" rear tire size with no rubbing headaches.

What is your guys input and if possible, include rear view pix.

i suspect i am missing something pretty simple but decided to leave it for th enight now. I am trying to remove the door trim from drivers side door. I have removed the remote mirror bezel and clips etc all round so the trim is loose, but I am having difficulty getting it over the door handle. Do I need to remove the handle- how? or remove the lights?
any advice overnight would be great, I will try in the morning.

Cheers

I bought seat tracks on EBAY months ago. Cleaned them up etc, and then put away. Finally got seat covers for the seats I also go on ebay.

I think the 70 Mach 1 seat tracks are 11 1/2 inches, so does anyone know what year of seat I might have? The covers were extremely ... Tech Discussion (Q&A), Problems, Fixes. etc..

I have some slack in my steering ( I know - very typical) and have rebuilt the power steering ram etc with new seals etc. My question is whether you know if the adjusting screw on top of the steering box can be used to minimse slack in th esteering box or if I would cause bigger problems adjudting this. I inderstand it is for the lash adjustment but not sure exactly what it impacts. Any mechanics on the forum?
