Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Someone on here probably knows from memory on here on what to do. I rebuilt the exact same ones (PCM) on the 76 where it looked exactly the same. I stipped them down completely because mine rusted solid where I couldnt adjust them. I then sandblasted them, painted, and reinstalled. I do recall the snap ring that is on the adj screw that rusted off. If no one responds, then I will make a point to look at my old 302 to jog my memory. I am developing a case lately of CRS for those of you who know what that means!!

If you loosen the nut (9/16 wrench I think) on the part near the engine and tap it with a mallet, it will free up the stud. This will then release the part of the mount thats the "pin" so to speak that allows the engine to be moved side to side. The nut you loosen is nothing more than a round stud thats ground down so when you tighten it, it wedges the large "pin", locking it in place.
    To adj. up and down, loosen the large jam nut inside the mount (bigger than 1 inch wrench) and then turn the top of the threaded verical screw (where your rubber is in the pic). I found it easier to jack up the engine and take the whole mount out if its rusted and wont move.
    By the way, loosening the 9/16 head nut, will allow the "pin" to be slid directly out of the engine bracket.
Hope this helps!!!????           Jeff....

I'm missing the washer and the snap ring on the mount shown in the picture. The mount on the other side (not shown) has all of its parts.

Thanks! I'm going to call around tomorrow and see where I can get that snap ring. Do I also need to replace the stud?

I called Vince at SkiDIM, and he called an old buddy who used to work at Waukesha, and guess what! SkiDIM has the snap ring in stock. $1.34, including postage. Vince threw in a catalog and an alignment guide - he said the violent shudder when I throttle back is probably a result of my mount issues.

Meanwhile, I loosened up the nut that locks the mount in position and got the isolater back where it belongs. When the snap ring shows up, I'll align stuff and finish the job.

Any hints on alignment would be sweet.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeff! I'm going to work on this next weekend. I'm just glad I found the part. I had no luck finding something like that on the internet, unless I wanted to buy 500...

Well, I don't know if it's going to be "sweet" by this summer, but it's definitely going to run nice!

Incidentally, I'm going to build my own pylon. I'll post another thread about it when I get ready to start.

Let me take a look at it. I'll email you in a minute.

    No, havent gotten it yet, its pretty slow sometimes!!

    Yes, they are longer. I edited a post, then clicked on the hyperlink icon, then copied it, and pasted it on the signature profile screen. It seemed to work, but too long I guess. So what do I do with what you have?? Copy and paste again?? Thanx

You could copy and paste, or you could just delete everything after the four digit ID (ID=1074, etc). If that doesn't make it short enough, you might have to take out Mustang Country, but I'd just try removing everything after the ID number first.

You don't need the email now. I've posted everything in it.

Jeff: you got it! Thanks to dchris! Gotta love these computers!
