  1. Heard about resistance wires both for the tach and ignition. What happens if I don't do anything about them ? have a tach but I did put a duraspark/mad 6a box on my 351W.
  2. Wow, yes it's a factory A/C car. I'll clean it up and reinstall it.
  3. Replaced the fuse. Disconnected the horns. Fuse still good. Took the first horn and cleaned the mounting pad of rust. Connected it, fuse still good. Cleaned the second one of rust on it's mounting surface, still good. There was a metal piece that the drivers side horn mounted to that was in between the horn and the rad support that I removed it as well. No idea what it did. Thanks for your help.
  4. Just finished installing a hi flow water pump. Along with replacing all the rubber hoses.
  5. On my 70 every time I blow the horn a fuse blows. Curious what to look for ? How do I determine a bad horn. Probably need to rethink grounding issues ?
  6. Where do want the wheel to sit in the wheel well ? Hardtop or Sportsroof ?
  7. Hard to say without pics and more details.
  8. I used a Tomato juice can. Even left the label markings on it. If you look closely you'll laugh.
  9. Just finished routing the battery cable that runs from the trunk under the dash, through the firewall. Bolted to the solenoid.
  10. Ran the cable up through the A-pillar. Out under the dash into the firewall. Through the wheel well into the hole left from my old vacuum canister. Bolting the dash back together now. Thanks for for all the help !!!
  11. It runs vertical between the round vent and where the cable comes out of.
  12. Nice project. Where you run your battery cables through the pass. side A-pillar will this interfere with the dash installation? I ran my power cable throught the channel in the rocker up to the A-pillar but I'm encountering a wall just inside it that's preventing me from going further.
  13. So i have the cable running up to the A pillar. Just inside the pillar about 4-5 inches in is a metal wall blocking further progress. After talking with others I found I maybe the only one with this piece. My car has A/C if that helps. This "wall" has no holes and its in a spot where I cant drill it.
  14. Got it. Except where it heads outside under the fender. Is that heater area accessible with the door and fender on ? My car is completely together. Thanks !
  15. I'm putting the battery in the trunk of my '70. Mounted the battery and box in the trunk. Now I'm curious where is the best place to route the positive cable to the solenoid in the stock location ?
  16. I get them whenever the next swap meet happens. There's bound to be one in your area.
  17. Anyone using these from Drake ? : SD-1142-RFB
  18. how does one hookup back up lights using a T5 trans ?
  19. I'm curious why you used the Ranger master cylinder ?
  20. After noticing my cars rear end is sagging Im taking out the lowering blocks. Replacing the master cylinder and bleeding the brakes. Haven't driven it in a while.
  21. No, the master worked after the change. The question is, is there an upgraded or better master cylinder to use in my situation ?
  22. While ago I put in a Lincoln Versailles rear end with disc brakes in my 70. Didn't change the master from the power disc unit I originally had on it. Brake pedal is going to the floor leading me to think the master cylinder is shot. Looking into getting a new one but I'm curious if there are any upgraded ones I can use ? Bigger or smaller bore, etc ?
