So I'm in need of some help. Due to a lost key, my pops had to be creative to get the car running. Unfortunately this left me in a tougher spot, I need to get a full set up to replace from the wires to the key to start the car. I tried to find it/order it but all I found on CJpony was the key/cylinder and I need the black piece that goes behind it. Does anyone know of where I can get this? On the other hand I had the idea to try to retrofit with a RF Fob / push button start - I did a search and found the "has anyone tried this" thread. Unfortunately all the links were dead and no one said if they had any success. Has anyone tried this? Any kit you'd recommend?

Anyone have a set for sale?

The car is "Dual Mode" (my concept behind it) .. the SMALL primaries on the spreadbore carb with the offenhauser intake (literally 2 intakes in 1) one for the VERY small primaries and and one for the very LARGE secondaries.

Thanks for the compliments ... and I would have preferred a 911 (even if they are fake backseats) but the price tag was too good on this to skip (12k and it has 71k miles). I ended up not going with the Turbo straight 6 unfortunately. I still kinda wish I did, but I just didn't have enough experience or friends with experience to do the job. I ended up doing a complete swap - 302 (AFR heads, Offenhauser Intake, Spreadbore carb (Quadroject style), Hooker Long Tube Headers, 8" rear, 5 speed). The car ended up amazing as a daily driver (how I used it for the past few years. Can you believe I actually average around 30mpg in that thing if I'm nice to it?!!

Still have my baby (1969 Mustang) but got a "beater" to use as a daily driver to and from work. Let me know what you think! 2000 Porsche Boxster S

the car is a street car, with an 8" in now. It may make 350 hp on a VERY good day. I always like the idea of reducing weight over adding power (faster, better handling, better gas mileage, better braking etc etc.)

Some Key figures taken from the article: 0-60 - 4.3 seconds 1/4 Mile -12.8 Dyno Test! 2011 Mustang 5.0 (4th gear pull, 15% powertrain loss) Claimed horsepower: 412 hp @ 6500 rpm Claimed torque: 390 lb-ft @ 4250 rpm Actual horsepower: 435 hp 6500 rpm Actual torque: 404 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm Both its lateral acceleration (0.94 g) and figure-eight time (25.3 seconds at 0.75 g) are superior to those of the our best SS (0.90, 25.8 at 0.80) and SRT-8 (0.87, 26.74 at 0.679). http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/112_1003_2011_ford_mustang_gt_premium_test/acceleration_performance.html

http://www.cjponyparts.com/currie-3rd-member-complete-with-posi-4-spider-gear-set-up-8-1965-1973/p/CE325/ Does anyone have any reviews on this unit? Or know of anywhere else that sells a quality pre-assembled unit? I am looking for 3.55 gears with some type of Limited Slip Rear (95% street use). I saw Currie sells an aluminum 3rd member as well, but I havent seen it in a pre-assembled kit.

Limited Slip/Posi and Gear Ratios ... HELP
69stang replied to 69stang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
What is a name of a good STREET limited slip rear? Also what parts are necessary to do the swap/install (spell out as much as you can). Thank you guys for the help! -
Fox body style and fiero seats are two strong options

Limited Slip/Posi and Gear Ratios ... HELP
69stang replied to 69stang's topic in 1969-70 Technical Forum
Just a follow up, I also would like first gear to be usable .. I don't know how to determine this, but it seems like higher gears can all but deem 1st gear as worthless -
So I officially decided I want to swap the gears in my 8" rear. I have a 302, AFR 165's, spreadbore carb, offenhauser dual port intake, long tube hooker headers and 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust. The trans is a T-5 with .63 OD. The car is a daily driver with gas mileage being a concern. It currently has 2.79 gears, which with the .63 OD really seems to HATE doing 60-65 mph (the speed limit) because the rpm's are so low. I also would like more "seat in the pants" launching strength. I don't know a lot about either topic, but what are the positives and negatives of a posi/limited slip type rear (and what is needed to do the change?). How would I determine if 3.55's or 3.80 would be a better fit? My tire size I believe is 225/65/15 but I will be confirming that.
