1971 mark iii

Howdy; For the first time today I've started noticing a very fast "tick tick tick tick" behind the dash of my 71 Mark III. Are the Cartier clocks in these known for being fairly noisy? I've changed nothing recently, the noise just started and I'll say it is very prominent. It ticks...

Howdy; Anyone have a good source or recommendation for sound deadening material? I'm pulling the rear seats out of my 71 to fix the quarter windows and the insulation behind/under them is cracked and worn. Figure I may as well replace it while I'm back there. Recommendations? Have you...

Happy Saturday! I'm thinking I have a few months of winter remaining when I won't be able to drive my Mark III and am considering getting to those rear quarter windows and repairing them. When I was shopping for a car almost all of them said the rear windows were inoperable which makes...

Happy holidays all! I noticed today that when I have the ignition turned on, but the engine not running, that the heater/ac fan does not turn on. Is this normal? The fan does turn on when I select the Defog or De-ice options without the engine running. Reading through the manual it looks...

Howdy; Was looking at the trunk in my 71 and the felts, while all there, are looking pretty ragged. The felts are all pretty basic and look like they could be made with a minimum of sewing/molding so I'm thinking of just buying some felt and making them from scratch (I'm not doing a...

Good evening; I've been looking at the radio wiring for my 71 Mark III with the AM/FM Stereo radio option and noticed that it looks like the speakers share a common ground (the is only one speaker ground wire coming out of the radio). I can imagine this is how they were configured at the...

Happy Holidays! The vanity mirror in my 71 Mark III looks like a picture, taken through a kaleidoscope, of McGyver exploding a bomb. The glass is not cracked, but the mirror backing appears to have disintegrated. Does the mirror just pop-out of the visor? Or is the visor/mirror a single...

Happy Saturday; I'm cleaning the power seat mechanism in my 71 Mark III and it looks like the screw mechanism that moves the seat forward/backward is not lubricated at all (it looks like it's never seen any grease or oil). Would you apply grease/oil to that screw? Or do you think that...

Any tricks to removing the AM/FM stereo radio from a 1971 Mark III? I have been able to remove all of the mounting hardware and disconnect the antenna and wires but I cannot find any way to get the chassis out from behind the dash. There simply is not enough space between the lower dash...

Hi; Anyone know the name of the plastic piece that pops into the front and rear window guides and keeps the window from rattling as it slides up and down on the guide rods? I have 1 that is missing and would like to replace but not sure what to call it or refer to it. Thanks - Stovebolt

Good evening; Looking for advice on repairing the interior drivers side door panel on my 1971 Mark III. The panel is cracked horizontally at the weakest points behind the armrest. The two pieces have not completely separated but they're complete at only a few points. I was thinking I...
