Guys, Can anyone advise where the 1.3 ohm to 1.4 ohm resistor is located under the dash that goes between the ignition switch and the coil? I have a Pertronix Ignitor 1 installed and am only getting 5.5v at the coil. The coil I have is a 1.2Ohm coil so the current is low and the voltage is a bit...

Hey guys, Just thought I would share an issue I had on my 72 Mach 1. My car same factory with idiot lights in the dash. I have then added a mechanical temperature gauge, a mechanical oil pressure gauge and a volt meter. (Volt meter connected to the radio 12v feed) Some months ago I rebuilt the...

Guys, As I live in Australia, all cars, even those built as far back as the 50's on onwards, have yellow rear turn signals. The red flashing stop / tail light set up is basically an unknown thing here. I'm concerned that people (especially those new to driving and those in a hurry) will not...

As I live in Australia and our design rules require lap sash belts to be installed in the rear seats from 1972 onwards, I needed to find a solution for the install. My Mach 1 has the fold down rear seat option and I did not want to have belts laying around when the rear seat was folded down. I...
