Anyone have concerns with their injection units lately ?

Taken in small steps with a clear plan it will be done in due course.

[MSD ignition box]

Drove my car last night for the first time in a while. Now that I've got  a tach installed I found out my car runs like crap after about 3800 rpm. Ordered a new distributer  #8578 so my shaker will clear.

But I'm wondering if MSD boxes degrade with age ?

[1970 underdash wiring help]

Thanks. Tapped into the red/green wire for power and lights. Connected to the terminal on the MSD box.

Works great !

[1970 underdash wiring help]

Installing an Autometer tach on the column. Need a wire to tap into for switched power. Another for lights.

thanks

So you don’t need a carburetor after all. 

 

Nice !

[Relocating battery to the trunk]

Does the battery have to be enclosed if its in the trunk ? Want to put mine just behind the seat above the axle. 

[Putting the battery in the trunk]

Want to put the battery in the trunk. I want to put it between the wheels above the axle. Doing so means I cant enclose it with a battery box due to accessibility issues. Don't have a fold down seat so it will fit nicely.

 

What are the pros and cons of not enclosing it within the trunk area ?

The tbird is in pretty decent shape.  It just turns out its a little too nice and "rare" for me.  It has so many options.  On paper, it checks a lot of cool boxes.  In reality, its a lot more to maintain and a lot of parts that are hard to find replacements for.  50yr old switches and relays that you can't easily replace. Arm rests on the doors crack and new ones run $350 per side.  I'd rather have the mustang that has better aftermarket support.

The tbird is a cool cruiser.  Very smooth ride and super yuuuuuge trunk.  I just want something more roudy and raw.

Leave it as is and drive it.

Just things to work on while you're riding in comfort with that Thunderbird.

Whats is wrong with the T bird ? I'd be more inclined to get that mobile.

Curious about the Lentech myself.

[1969 -70 hood ,with 1971 -73 top]

Awesome,

Can I get one ?

[Engine lowering options?]

I have heard that about Fox body convertibles. Nothing about our years. Nor have I seen any different part numbers for each model...

[1970 Mustang Retromod - Boss 351]

Sounds interesting. Always wondered why when Chevy used the 350 Lt-1 in 1970 Ford stayed with the 302.

[Just cant win ,or even break even !]

Put a carburetor on it

[New gen starter wiring]

Read all about wiring in a new generation starter using the existing solenoid.

 

But has any one gotten rid of that and used just the terminals on the new starter. I'm using one out of an 1995 5.0L That way the fenderwell will be cleaner.

[Heater core removal]

Want to remove the whole assembly. Dont need the heat.

[Heater core removal]

What is involved in removing the heater / AC box assembly under the dash on my 1970?

Core was leaking years ago so I unhooked it. Thinking I will just remove the whole assembly and be done with it.

What shape would you be in ?

[Carburetor problem]

Pulled this carb from the garage hoping it install it on an engine I have been working on. But the throttle plates are seized stuck.

Any ideas on what I can do ?

[Power Steering conversion]

Went with a flaming river unit when I replaced mine. Back before I knew about this site.

[1-wire alt conversion: what to do with external voltage regulator?]

I did the 3G conversion. Just wrapped up the wires afterwards.
