Well, there were 5,502 people who ordered red/red (vermillion) for 1971.  It may be overkill, but certainly a logical color combo.

You can see it behind Jason Statham in the shop, shortly after they arrive in Samoa.

Just for kicks, I was looking at outliers in Kevin Marti's Mustang by the Numbers book.  Specifically for odd color combos. For example, there were 12 people in 1971 who ordered Black with a Blue interior.  One of those in Boss Decor Cloth.  Bold! There were 2 people who ordered a 71 Mustang...

I originally had the P1 and Flamethrower running through the tach/resistance/red green wire.  It worked fine and the tach functioned properly.  I've since switched to a Duraspark setup.  For this, I bypassed the resistance wire and wired the tach straight to the coil.  I've had it this way for...

I have a 71 M Code, but, it's had stock Boss 351 valve covers on it since I bought it. They are original, with the screw down wire holders. They still have the drippers installed. The Boss 351 sticker is long gone though. I'll try to throw up a pic later...

This is not a 1 man DIY job. Too many things could go wrong.

Did you guys ever consider the possibility that the spoiler was placed correctly and someone mounted the car backwards???

What is your initial timing set at?

Is your car manual or auto? If manual, put the transmission in 4th gear and e-brake on for extra insurance. That will prevent it from turning. Works every time for me. If auto, you can try leaving it in gear. Just not sure if it will work.

You didn't have to pull the heads to find a bent pushrod. Any idea how it happened?

Successfully upgraded to Duraspark from the Pertronix I I was running. Wow, what a difference! Had I known the car would run so much better, I would have done it long ago. Also, anyone debating Pertronix vs. Duraspark, Duraspark all the way. Unlike the majority on here, I went with a...

Don, Hemi, Thanks for the info. I'm going to be using a red connector Duraspark I module, since that is what I have. I know I have to swap the green and orange wires and the coil is 0.7 ohms, lower resistance than what is needed for a Duraspark II conversion. Hopefully it all works out. If...

Don, I take it you wired it up pretty much as you laid out in the second diagram here then? http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-distributor-and-ignition-info-thread?pid=110967#pid110967

Ok, so what's the verdict using the factory tach with a Duraspark conversion? After reading this entire thread multiple times, Don65Stang made a mention of it working. But how did you wire it up? Did you just leave the resistance wire connected to coil +? I currently have a Pertronix I setup...

Bf Goodrich is the only company manufacturing size 245 60 r14.

The worst part is, nobody local has stock in wide 14 inch tires. So the car will be up on jack stands all weekend. Had planned to do some serious driving this 4th of July weekend. I should have it all fixed by Tuesday. 72HCODE, interesting your blowout was the same brand as mine. Glad you...

According to date code, April 2007. No evidence of dry rot. I was going about 70mph on the highway in traffic when I felt it go. It took me another minute or so to be able to cross over to the breakdown lane and slow to a stop. That extra minute of high speed travel I'm sure contributed to...

Ugh!!!
