    Ignition Box and Coil Location

    I will take a new picture tomorrow. It was the only one I had and it really looks a lot worse than it does in that pic. Was trying to sort out wiring at that time.

    Newbie with 1972 Boss 351 clone H code

    Sounds like a great project. I like drivers. Not sure any of my cars will be clean enough to show.

    New Wheels and Tires Ordered

    Just curious, why 45's up front and 40's rear. I would put them on both ends to soften the ride up a hair. I have 225/40's on 17x8 and 245/40's on 17x10's and the hard bumps will rattle your teeth.

    lowering front end

    Bought lowering springs but decided to cut a full round out of my springs first and see if I liked it. Came down about 3 inches and it was perfect. The springs were new and that was why I cut since they were still nice and stiff and new. Nothing rubs with my 17 inch wheels with 225 40 tires...

    Lets discuss Red for a moment

    I had my Sportster in Orange and black and it looked great. Bike was also close to the green my car is only it was pearl metallic which would be nice on my car. Have only seen 1 7173 Mustang in Burnt orange and it was fabulous.

    Lets discuss Red for a moment

    Burnt orange is red isn't it? I love that color more than life itself. I love a wine red candy metallic as well but that would look better in a two tone. If I went red it would be like this car. Now this is a beautiful color...

    Question about speedo and FMX tranny

    I was able to open the spreadsheet. Just need to know what 6,7, or 8T drive gear. I have with an FMX. Any idea what the number goes with the T. I know I have 350 gears. That was confirmed when I had my rear seals removed.

    How much should this work cost?

    Well., I have finally figured out the trick to starting this car first time. Running good but little stuff. They did not get the lower radiator hose on quite right and the power steering best eventually cut a pin hole in it. Changed to new hose today and life is good until the next problem.

    Speedometer Gears

    I was able to open the spreadsheet. Just need to know what 6,7, or 8T drive gear. I have with an FMX. Any idea what the number goes with the T. I know I have 350 gears. That was confirmed when I had my rear seals removed. Adjust the bands looks like fun, will check out the instructions a...

    Question about speedo and FMX tranny

    Two questions actually question 1 Can bands be adjusted on an FMX. I think mine is slipping during hard acceleration and I want to know I rebuild or adjustment is likely solution. question 2 PO put in 350 gears in back instead of 275 original gears but did not calibrate speedo. Do I need a...

    Car in the shop for motor issues- cams and lifters

    Gasket set is felpro but not with tray from what I can tell. Looks like heads got new valves and I have a six month warranty.

    Car in the shop for motor issues- cams and lifters

    The shop did say they had to buy a special Felpro gasket set to get it to seal properly. I will call and ask in the morning. The boiling was in my glass filter that was resting on the manifold with the radiator hose on tod of it.

    are these original seats?

    I would hope you could post some better pics. Might be able to ID if we could tell what they looked like other than the outline.

    Car in the shop for motor issues- cams and lifters

    Here are a couple of pictures of my car now that it is lowered. It looks much better now that the wheel wells are not empty. I will eventually deal with the green sticking out of under the door and put my stripe kit on. That will make it perfect. I did drive to work today and the car ran...

    Car in the shop for motor issues- cams and lifters

    What is the advantage of the 4 hole spacer(like pictured above) versus a wide open one? I have a spacer very similar to the one above in my tool box. Used the 1 inch because it seemed like a good idea. What foes the spacer do?
