    What is the right version of Pertronix Ignitor II for a 351 Cleveland 2V

    I had a spare new cap that I wanted to use and that one had an alignment slot as well that did not allow correct fitting around the advance screw. Old one only has a few miles on it so all is good now. Thanks. Tom

    What is the right version of Pertronix Ignitor II for a 351 Cleveland 2V

    Thanks Hemi, yea I knew that and had it aligned but the cap was not sitting properly. Late last night I tried the original cap and it fit perfectly. Looked like the notch that you pointed out was not cut as deep when I compared the two afterwards. Thanks for the help, as always much appreciated...

    What is the right version of Pertronix Ignitor II for a 351 Cleveland 2V

    Good evening everyone, I recently purchased the Pertronix Ignitor II for my 351 Cleveland 2V, model number 91281 from Summit. The description and "check fit" option says that it works for a 1971-73 Mustang 351 Cleveland. But when I install it, the cap wobbles and is not tight. Because of this...

    Power Brake Assist is weak

    I think the paper clip goes on the rod under the "cap" for the vacuum secondaries. Place the clip as high as you can on the rod and go for a ride. When you get back, check to see if the clip is lower, if it is, the secondaries have opened. As far as the vacuum gauge reading jumping around, I...

    FMX Linkage diagram

    Sorry for not posting updates last night, I got tied up after adjusting the linkage. Well after adjustment, I have Park again as well as going into and engaging all of the gears, so that is definitely a Win in my book. However, I still need to play with the adjustment some more because the...

    A few exhaust system questions

    I feel your pain Steve, I have a Summit 2 1/2 inch header back system as well. My mufflers did not go all the way back to reach the hangers and I had to relocate them more forward. I also had to cut the hanger down as you did. My driver's side comes out lined up with the valence cutout but the...

    FMX Linkage diagram

    Thanks 71 ProjectJunk and 71coop, I will be getting back under it again tonight and hopefully report good results afterwards. Shifter has been rebuilt with new bushings a few months ago, so I have no slop at all right now. I kind of knew this would take a lot of fiddling with and adjusting but...

    FMX Linkage diagram

    Thanks Steve, that's the same as the one that I have now, the instructions are the "2 clicks from the rear" on the trans linkage for Drive. If that's the proper procedures and no one has any additional advice, I will have to try it again. Thanks and I appreciate the help. Tom

    FMX Linkage diagram

    Does anyone have a diagram for a FMX automatic transmission shifter linkage and can post a pic here? My FMX is out of a 1972 Mustang (as far as I know) and when following the linkage directions that I found on here, it says "loosen linkage nut under the car, place the shifter in the Drive...

    TMI one piece headliner install help

    Great advice and instructions on installing the sail panels. When I was doing mine and realized that I still had to remove the rear windshield to install the sail panels, I called TMI directly because the instructions said it was not necessary. They said one of their engineers would call me back...

    Stronger/tighter throttle return springs

    Thank you for the pic, that setup looks great. I will get mine leveled out. Hemi, I don't see any other springs on your setup, do you have return springs or is it removed for in the picture. Thanks. Tom
