It's the 3.5 inch hand held screen that came with the sniper. I slapped together a magnetic mount, that way I can remove it and stick it in the glove box. It was not going to be a permeant solution, but's it worked out well, and I have not come up better solution! Being magnetic, I can angle it, and move it around easily. I used a round magnet that sticks to a round disc (from a old cell phone mount) and a Keeper MG hand gun magnet from Amazon.

PSA - I took a chance on some ebay floor mats from Turkey. They turned out much better than expected, and arrived with in a week. They are actually cut to correct shape, not a universal shape like my ACC mats. (Acc is the one on the right. ) He also said he can do custom shapes, I need one for my trunk.

Test fitting the matching Dakota Digital controls.

It was 70° this morning after I got home from work, so I figured I would get in some Mustang time. I pulled the valve covers, distributor & spark plugs. I used a cordless drill long 1/4" drive extension & small socket to prime the engine with oil. Timed the engine, re-installed the spark plugs, valve covers & the distributor.

I hate a$$holes who knowingly sell damaged goods with disclosure. My motor runs best at 18° base timing. I never told anyone cuz it was so high, but reading online about other's timing it is quite common.

I did the same for my Sniper handheld. Made up a steel bracket so I can hang my phone off there as well and hung it under the HVAC controls (No console in my poverty pack). Used an old phone mount and the stick on magnet on the handheld. Helps with getting it away from the sun glare during the day. There's some folks making a column mount for the Sniper,

That is clever and slick! Well done! Consider that idea STOLEN! LOL

I saw your pictures and just ordered a set myself. Thank you for the PSA. I have always been disappointed in every set of carpet mats I have bought. These look nice in your car. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134916462214?_nkw=mach+1+floor+mats&itmmeta=01J7EBN007MN66P4HMF2EG50AE&hash=item1f69a5d686:g:5QsAAOSwWVZlu~Eg&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnBWHB9EDpykXUN0s9HVlLbdv8CS%2Bu7JYFCmECejuTbXq4QLqZ2lKNsaakoTvtfTZw5Z60b4sttYkUFuGwf3jUn6rQCfFFPDQX68TRiS1OL9qB4sA3MfYX3LGRRoFlWBG0gMGVhGrArSHGo%2Fi3MKYnwyp3vxPWpJRxlNsapB4x%2FG9tBzwxy34jimvNhkhVKbn8BUk2vEGUC35aD1iXTc%2BaXJzFRQxlQSFvMUsz45sac5WnSLoJiTMqA14baUCIkOoro8F1gwVFP7ZCmAJTBh3UB%2FqFkbpYIvAzS5dW3ZvZ0lQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6CA1Mu7ZA

Looks great! Anymore detail on your Holley handheld mount in front of the shifter? Very tidy!

Less than a week remains to get your Mustang Steve Bash T-shirts ordered. Some of y'all are gonna end up waiting to long and miss out on an award winning design. https://www.customink.com/g/pdx0-00cw-c4v9

Two days ago, I refurbished my 1000th underdash harness! I started the business on March 22, 2008, so it has taken some time to get to this point! Most of the work has been on harnesses, but there have been 53 Cougars, a smattering of Torinos, Montegos, and Falcons, but no trucks. My first truck was yesterday, # 1001! I would have reached this point earlier, but I've had 2 back surgeries, one hip replacement, and a Cat5 hurricane that interrupted work. Based upon the number of Mustangs produced, I was expecting more 65/66's than later years, but that's not the case. Clearly, 69 and 70's are the most popular, with 68 close behind, with all three accounting for 50% of my work. Part of this may be due to the costs and availability of reproductions (there are no 71-73 repros).

Hey Ed, my lower mounting screw is right at the bottom edge of area that your door trim panel is located. No reason it couldn't be mounted a quarter inch higher and be behind the trim panel.

The MCA East Coast national show is in Savannah Ga on October 12 and 13th. These shows are great opportunity to see lots of cars and also to look over high-level and Concours restorations. I’m taking my 1970 convertible there, it will be its debut at a car show. I’ve entered into the modified class. Rich Ackermann and I will be trailing our cars down there together, he’s bringing his ‘73 Mach 1 October is a great time of year to be there, the weather will be beautiful, the car show is in the convention center, which is on the river across from the old city, so all the cars will be indoors.

It's Hammer dyno time! The story so far. Engine in, all systems go but still having issues with the tune. I tried a few changes, emailed back and forwards to my man in the US but I realised I was wasting my time. So I made a booking with a tuner that had previously tuned a carb'd car years ago and he got results. Not cheap but - $1,350 AUD which would be about $1,000 USD. First up he checked the settings, then spent about an hour running the engine and playing with the ignition and fuel maps. Really not much to see, just sitting on the dyno running at light loads. Finally, the time came to do power runs. I had decided to put a 6,500 rev limit on as I wasn't sure how much revs the standard roller block could take. I'd been told 6,500, 7,000 and 7,500 but none of them were going to pay for a blowed up motor, so 6,500 it was. Another factor was the cam was rated to 6,600 for power. First run: 325 hp at the treads. He made a total of 8 runs, with all but one increasing power as he tweaked tables and numbers. The final run gave up 355 hp and about 330 ft/lb at the wheels. But more importantly, it had a fat flat torque curve and the fuelling was much cleaner. Driving it revealed it was back to how it was without the timing and fuel management and basically drove like a modern car - no snatch out of third gear corners and 1,200 rpm, hauled the mail when it needed to. And the idle has come down about 100rpm and it is much cleaner. Hopefully now I just drive it and don't worry about it not starting, idling, or going. Yesterday was 37° C or about 98 F° and the engine temp stayed steady at 90-91°C (195) in traffic and came quickly back down to 84° C (184) whilst driving. Have to be happy about that. IMG_1910.MOV
