I have no idea, but that engine sure looks good .
It's a '74.
'73s already have the small bumper in the rear. The front is not extremely big, and is a one year only item. As mentioned, that is not a '73.
Pretty scary. That is a strut rod you're talking about, and you don't want that coming off while you're going down the road. If you get KYB...
Yeah, I should have mentioned the steering box as well. It could have play after 45+ years. It is adjustable to a certain extent.
I should add that you'll need to remove the master cylinder to get the old rod out. As suggested, you may want to just buy a new master cylinder...
Yeah, the adjustable rod is for non-power brakes.

Changing to an adjustable push-rod will solve your problem. There is no brake pedal that you can swap to improve the situation. What are you...
As for your power (lack of) issue, we need more information. Does your car retain all the original emission controls? What type of exhaust system...
I doubt the shop would have aligned it if any of the steering components were loose. You could try stiffer shocks like KYB Gas-A-Just (monotube)....
Huh??? :huh:
Mavericks never handled great from the factory, but as old as it is, your shocks may be worn out, and your stablizer bar bushings are likely shot....
I did it. You have to drill 4 extra holes in the floor pan.
Your vacuum advance should not be engaging at idle unless it is connected to a full manifold vacuum source. Not sure why yours is.
Do whatever looks best to you. Your '70 was black from the factory.
The earliest Mavericks had black engine compartments like '60s Mustangs until '71 or '72 when they were all body color from there on. Your '70 was...
I wouldn't let that stop me from buying the car.
Or in my case, it's been so long since I've worked on this stuff, I start second-guessing myself.
No '73 Maverick had disc brakes from the factory. I converted mine to '75 disc brakes from a Mercury Comet. The factory 11 inch discs are not up...
