Vic,
On BuckeyeDemons 408 Mach 1 build he had modified his shaker assembly to fit. Here is a link to the page of the mods he did. Hope that helps.

Hi Vic,
I am planning on using the RTX gauges. I ran the 2 ground wires one from the sender & one from the fuel pump to one of the gas tank bolts.

I have one of those too, I was wondering what they are for. Couldn't you use the hook end of the drum brake spring install tool?

I say 9/16.

so how will you be driving the car?
Taking weekend drives, going to cruise ins & shows.

I am looking at getting the Summit M2008 carb. I am still undecided whether to get the 500 or 600 cfm carb for my 5.0, but I want to use the Trans Dapt 1" phenolic spacer with the rear pcv port also.

Terry, it might take a while before it is running since I am still doing the wiring, then I have to run fuel lines & decide EFI or carb.

Terry I am going to use a dual exhaust system with dual mufflers in front of the rear axle that I bought from Virginia Mustang that has turbo mufflers & has the mounting brackets welded in the proper place for stock hangers. Here is the link to the system I have. It says on the muffler Xcelerator turbo muffler & the body of the muffler is 14" long.

I have been working on the wiring in the trunk the last few weeks. I am doing a little at a time, like baby steps to get it done. Thanks to everyone who posted pics or responded to my post looking for info how to run the taillight harness so I can keep plugging along with the wiring. Today I ran the ground wires for the taillights & side lights to the ground screw on the trunk support.

Since you've been running it for three years now, do you regularly use gas with ethanol, and has it affected anything yet?
My old 2V has always stunk up the garage for 4-5 days after driving it- until the gas has dried up in the bowl. At first I thought the smell was from the lawn mower, but after we moved to a house with an attached garage it was clear it was coming from the car. My wife calls it "Old Car Smell", and won't drive in it. It must have a leak but I've never been able to find it even with long duration bench testing. My primary reasons for changing to EFI would be to get rid of the smell, easier cold starting, and self tuning. I'm a little surprised at your low gas mileage- anything special going on with the cam or compression ratio?
What would you recommend: Carb or EFI?
I am in the same situation, do I want to go EFI or a carb. My wife wants me to go EFI but I keep thinking a carb would easier.
Mach1 Driver reacted to this -
Nice work & thanks for sharing the info since this is the carb I might use.

Nice fix on the adjuster. Vic do you happen to have a link to where you bought the LED headlights?

Terry thanks for the link but it says I do not have permission to view it, Brian, thanks for the pic, & Jay thanks for the pics that is just what I needed. You guys are the best. I will post some pics once I get the harness completed.

I used Fat Mat in my Coupe. I put it on the inside of the firewall, floors, inside the doors, quarter panel area under the Coupe rear side windows, & on the interior side of the Coupe rear seat trunk divider panel. Fat Mat says the thickness is 50 mil nominal. The carpeting I used was AAC original style molded without any additional padding underneath. I purchased mine from CJ Pony Parts.
