I did that swap as well. From a 2000 Explorer Sport Trac with 4.10s and LSD. It all mostly worked well. Brakes were simple and even the parking brake worked using some adapters. I used these perches https://www.ebay.com/itm/143192608713 The one issue I had and actually still have is the offset...

Not sure if this is relevant here, but I recently ran into another local '72 owner that installed a simple drop for the shoulder harness and just installed one myself. Basically just using a bolt in seatbelt extender connected up at the roof and then screw this to the top connector on the...

Yes, 100% just talking about cosmetic stuff. Drive around with it looking like a rusty mess or do what you can to make it look a little better and maybe slow down the inevitable if doing a proper repair just isn't an option. There are plenty of places on a car where things can rust out and won't...

I'll just reiterate that I agree this is a garbage repair and won't last etc. etc. All I was getting at is some cars aren't worth the time or money to do any kind of restoration. And some people don't have the skills or the money to do it right. And sometimes people are stuck driving that car...

While this is pretty hacky, I think there's a place for this kind of thing. If it's old beater you're planning on keeping and just want to make it look less crappy and don't want to spend a lot of money, why not? If you go into it knowing that you'll be doing the same thing in a few years but in...

OK thanks. Yes, my shifter is round so I'll take a look at those. It's a T56 Magnum and is covered well already. Really looking at more cosmetics at this point.

Here's something you don't see ever day and I'm grateful for that.... The Camaro Trike. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/667969765528319/? In case the add goes down: Seller's Description Valkyrie reverse Trike 68 Camero. needs finishing. Don't ask if still available. Will remove when...

Thanks Chuck. Would it be something like this? https://www.npdlink.com/product/boot-transmission-gear-shift-lever/105728? If so, I think (can't find the part #) that I have that installed to keep the bottom sealed, but it's very low profile and sits down below mini console. I'm sort of hoping...

I have one of those TMI center console / arm rests. Since reworking the interior and installing new cut pile carpet, I just the console sitting in there. It of course move around all over the place when getting in and out of the car so it always looks like I just tossed it in there, because I...

Not without really modifying the dash. The "din" thing is referring to the space it takes in the dash. A regular radio like these things have is a single din. A newer car with built in nav and a bigger screen will be double din. I've seen people larger stereos up in the top part of the dash is...

Yes, the description was mostly to talk about these single din units with smaller screens. There are other single din head units but until recently they all had very large screens which beside looking more out of place I don't think would work in that stock location. On the easy to install...

I hesitate to point to this device specifically as I have a high tolerance for weirdness if the device is cheap enough as this isn't something I care to spend much on for this car and mostly wanted to point out the form factor. Having said that, this is the device...

I know this isn't for everyone, but when my $14 vintage looking ebay stereo died thought it was finally time to try and get navigation in the car. I don't love having a phone propped up or mounted in this car, so really wanted something permanent. On Black Friday I picked up a little 6.9"...

Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried this one but a bunch of other similar products, some decent and some bad so good to know of a good one. In the end I keep going back to Penetrol for stuff like this. I've been using it for years and it works wonders on all sorts of plastic parts. Once I got...

While I don't like this thing at all, I do appreciate anything someone put a lot of time and energy into. Looks like he was going for some kind of '05 Mustang mashup. Clearly this guy had a vision (nightmare?) and it didn't work out. But he had an idea and tried to execute and I respect that...

FYI - Coverking has their Cyber Monday sale going right now with covers 25% off. Not sure how these stack up against others like Covercraft, but the one I have is so far holding up pretty well to the so cal sun. It's custom made to fit the car for about $200 for a basic cover. Thinking of...

Well started this thread looking for some validation on the idea of swapping out something that works. Now reading your comments, sounds like I ought to just stick with what works for now and see what I can do about cleaning up the wiring so I don't cringe every time I open the hood. Not sure...

I don't have any experience with MSD, but of course see it used everywhere then when you look at reviews I see a lot of people complaining. So I'm sure there's a lot of good and some bad to go along with that. When I worked at Super Shops Mallory was religion and I swore by the stuff and I'm...

Thanks, I'll have a look at the HEI at Summit. I have a basic Fitech EFI that doesn't control timing. So all it really needs to work is a tach signal.

When I got my car a few years ago, it had a Mallory Unilite distributor and a Hyfire ignition box. It all works fine so far, but a couple things make me think about swapping it out and with black Friday sales about to start trying to see if it makes sense to do that. First, the wiring from the...
