Back in a Mach

After two years of missing my red Mach 1 I finally got another, this time a really clean azure blue just thought I’d say hello

Re: Back in a Mach

Sweet!! Welcome back! I recently just got back into an azure blue one after I sold my screaming yellow. What are your plans for her?

Thank you, for now just fixing some odds and ends on it. Then eventually continue the plan I had for my torch red Mach which was install a supercharger.

Re: Back in a Mach

Yeah that’s my plan as well. Do you know which route you’re going to go? I’m struggling between centri and positive displacement. Never had a centri so I don’t know what to expect and I had a KB 3.6 on my GT500 and loved it.

I’m planning on a procharger, I like the way it looks under the hood. The main difference with the two is the way the power comes in, the centri blower is a gradual increase in boost through the powerband and the roots style is pretty instant from what I’ve gathered. I’ve driven a few cobras but never a car with a centri blower so I’m on the same boat as you

Here’s another pic for fun

Thank you, I did and regret it, I tried to buy it back but it didn’t work out. The cobra cams you sold me are still on there and running strong, this Mach is going to get a built engine, I already have the crank, block, rods and heads

Back in a Mach

Note to self, always thoroughly check out cars you buy, decided on some plugs for the Mach today


Bank 1 looked good




Bank 2 looked good except for cylinder #8

Re: Back in a Mach

honestly not the end of the world. Looks like the coil cover gasket needs replacing or wasnt put back on correctly and got some water in that tube

Agreed, it cleaned right up but would have eventually took out the coil if it went on unaddressed

Re: Back in a Mach

My first visit to the plugs was the same for the rear drivers side. I was worried too, but it hasn't had any issues since. Because the plugs I took out were OEM, I believe it was from bathtime fun over the years getting on the coil covers. I'm betting yours is the same. I gotta say, I've never owned a car with easier plugs to change lol.
