Default Getting to know my 73 Mach 1

First time ever in a forum and new owner of a 73 Mach 1. Previous owner did a lot engine work and gave these specs: 351C 4V, C6 transmission, 3.91 rear gears, engine has the four barrel open chamber heads, has been bored .030" with flat top pistons, crank ground, comp cams solid cam and lifters, harland sharp full roller rockers, MSD ignition with a Ford Dura Spark distributor, edelbrock torquer intake, Holley 3310 750 carburetor, headers, aluminum racing radiator, the C-6 transmission has been completely rebuilt with a shift kit and new converter, had new 3.91 ring and pinion installed at the time of restoration, traction bars.

None of the dashboard gauges work so I'm trying to figure out the wiring. And I found a leak where the transmission shifter linkage connects to the transmission. Otherwise she runs and sounds incredible!

Any words of advice for this newby?

Sounds like a great ride. My sister had a 73 coupe with a 351 and that thing would rip the tires off. Oops did I say that?

Sounds like a solid drivetrain but this thread needs pictures.

Welcome.
