In Reply to: Question on horn piece posted by John LaRouche on December 30, 1998 at 15:32:21:
It should run great with only 96,000 miles on it. Unless you want more power in which case I'd reccomend swapping in a 302. My '73 has 177,000 miles on it and it's ready for a rebuild. My method is to start with the interior (mine is cherry), then the mechanical (engine, tranny, suspension) and save the body/paint for last. That way you won't screw up the body/paint while doing the mechanical stuff...
: I am in need of some info on the horn piece on a 71 maverick grabber. The horn itself is okay.
: I need the piece that goes on the middle of the steering wheel. Anyone know what this piece is called and how to connect it?
: Also just to mention that I have recently found this site. Its great to find other Maverick owners.
: I have a 1971 grabber. Six cylinder. Bought it in 1981.
: Its now ready to be painted and rebuilt. Used to be a work car for me. Has the grabber hood. Another question is about the engine. It has over 96,000 on it.
: Should I replace the motor or should I have it rebuilt.
: Then its time to work on the body!
: Anyhow, thanks for any info.
