Thanks for the help, Odometer show 60k miles on the car. Based on condition/age, I expect it has 16ok miles on it, though 260k is possible. I...
We had to remove the pinion nut, etc. so we could renew a leaking seal. I assume a complete tear down of the diff and setting all pre loads is not...
Hey all, We put a new bearing spacer in the rear. I don’t have a Maverick service manual. I assume I should tighten the nut on the pinion shaft...
Hey all, We installed a new front seal, water pump, timing set etc. on the front of the engine and all went reasonably well. We got the rear...
Things went reasonably well coming apart and the seal definitely needed replaced. How much slack should we see in the timing change? 1/2” is about...
Thanks fellas, I’ll let you know what we find. Chris & Gabe
Hey all, My son’s car is leaking quite bad, but we’re not ready to rebuild. I think it looks like the worst is from the front of the engine (not...
Thanks fellas, We will be safe, here is a pick of a “poor man’s” press we put together. Hopefully it will do the u-joint job. [ATTACH] Chris &...

Hey all, The brakes on the 76’ (power) Maverick are laying down. It’s losing fluid between the M/C and booster. Even when you pump the brakes, it...
Thanks fellas.
Hey all, The heater core was tied back on itself when we purchased the car, so I have always assumed the core leaked. My son removed the heater...
Hey all, We've got one of the AE339 radiators on the way from George. Nice fellow, is apparently the son of Cid's good friend who was in...
Yellow, That is the EC339 which is the standard 2-row. I am looking at the AE339 which is still 2-row but has 1" tubes and is about $15 more....
Hey all, From a little study, Champion seems like it can be a little bit of a fitment issue, but we can handle that. They do not currently have...
Update, I don’t see anything too bad. Needs a new radiator and possibly fan blade (can you straighten a bent blade?). Grill and hood are toast,...
Unfortunately, the fan has few blades today than it did yesterday! Is there a reasonable consensus on the electric fans with the older cars. I...
