Transcribed from my blog: 1973 Ford Maverick... Six Months Later [IMG] I haven't made much mention around here of my quirky little daily...
It's been quite a while since I've gotten on the board here, so I figured I'd update how the Maverick is coming along: it's not! lol I've actually...
My '73 out in the county
That's a pretty huge leap in displacement! And engines are definitely about the tuning. An old hot rod building buddy of mine told me the other...
Wow, I didn't realize that the GT had such a small powerplant
It's got a 302 in it. Weren't the originals 427s?

So the only issue with the entire system seems to be the alternator light, itself. The car runs and starts just fine. It'll run off just the...

I would be interested in them, actually. PM me a pic of them. They made several different styles and I want to make sure they're the ones I have...
I like that, looks pretty slick. Has anyone run lower profile rings that show more of the wheel behind them? Also: if I get the collared lug nuts...
Anyone have a pic with a Mav or Comet running steel wheels with beauty rings and center caps?
How do I go about doing that? I feel like I'm asking questions with obvious answers, but automotive wiring is new to me and I want to know how...
Something is draining the battery in my Maverick when the car is shut off. The alternator is charging a new battery. When the car is off for short...
I've noticed that the lights behind my gauges are very dim. When the sun starts to go down, it's too dark to see the gauges, but too bright for...
Thanks for the tip. I've searched a bit for them on my phone but it just turned up groups that were all in Spanish.
Has anyone made an official Facebook group for the Maverick/Comet Forum?
