Nice pics, thanks for sharing.  Tough to beat a 4spd M code, AKA the Boss 351's baby brother.  They only made 4491 M codes with a 4 speed.

In my case, I did have factory AC.  I just went ahead and removed it all.  Motor, housing, etc.  Based on the instructions it appears the stock defrost vent is just about the only thing retained from the stock system.

In stock form, the heater box and blower are separate.  So when you pull the box, it separates from the blower, which under the dash.  Classic Auto Air does have them paired together however.

To those that have installed Classic Auto Air, did you end up removing the factory blower motor?  I know it's not needed, since the Classic Auto Air has it's own blower.  Just wondering if the factory blower needs to be removed for space, or if it's just left in place. Thank you

Yes, those are the ones.  But they don't install on the floor, as they indicate in the picture.  They install between the seat and seat tracks, so they basically just allow the seat to move further back without altering where the tracks mount to the floor.

I noticed the same issue when I did mine. If I remember right, the issue was more pronounced on the front end. You could slide in a couple of washers. But I decided to just go for it and tighten the tracks down. I had a spare set of tracks on hand, so I figured if anything went wrong, I was...

Pictures would help, and more so if you pull the carpet back.  Does the car have AC?  If so, the driver's side floor is probably in better shape, since there is no cowl vent hat on the driver's side of AC cars to rot out and let water in.

Before you consider having the floor pans fixed, realize the reason the floor rusted out in the first place is due to your cowl.  The floor pan literally rusts from the inside out from all the water leaking onto to it over the years from the cowl.  Having said that, if you don't plan to garage...

I must also say, their customer service is great. I asked Ted (the owner) about acquiring and additional male cap so I could swap my plugs over. I originally ordered my distributor with a female cap. He sent me one free of charge. Jeff, would anything prevent you from simply removing the...

They actually offer both types, HEI with the coil built in, or small cap utilizing an external coil.  I obviously went with the small cap/external coil option knowing I wanted to keep my Ram Air setup.

Here you go: I went with the female cap option, since it fit my current setup.  However by default it comes with a male cap.  Not sure if the male cap would provide any more or less clearance.  Either way, you can see I'm right up against it as far as space goes with the ram air cleaner.

I didn't take any detailed pictures of the install itself.  I mean, it's a distributor, nothing fancy about the installation process.  I can snap a picture of what it looks like installed a bit later if you like.

I got around to installing and the unit this weekend.  For reference, I have a 1971 Mach 1, 351C 4V, with a 4 speed toploader.  The installation was simple and straightforward.  Drop in the distributor, connect the vacuum line, then wire it up.  As far as wiring, there are only 3 wires to...

I actually downloaded the app via Google Play and played around with it a bit before making the decision to purchase.  They have an offline mode you can enter without connecting to the distributor itself.  This enables you to play around with the parameters and generate timing tables.  Once you...

I've been running a Duraspark I (red) setup for several years. I have the distributor recurved with a 10L reluctor, softer springs, and 10 degrees of vacuum advance, 16 degrees of initial timing Honestly, the setup has been flawless and the engine runs great. But after debating the idea for...

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/d/san-ramon-1973-ford-mustang-convertible/7123468540.html Dang, $50K for this one?  I wonder if the claims are true.  For certain the side stripes are wrong, and the engine bay looks a bit rough for a car with only 3k miles.

Hey Greg, Curious, how did the extension brackets mount up to the rear holes?  Or did you simply shim the rear to account for the space?  I just can't envision the brackets doing anything on the rear mounts, since they are perpendicular on the seat platform.

Black paint in and of itself is pretty rare, but even more so on a Boss 351.  The fact that it has Red Boss Decor is amazing.  I'd love to see some pictures of it.
