    Custom Auto Sound Alternative?

    You list gobs of stuff we don't really want to know about your car but you forgot to mention whether you have a floor console or not. :shrug: This makes a difference. If you have a console in very nice shape I understand your desire not to cut it. In that case something like "Secret Audio"...

    AODE questions

    Try poking around here for a guy named "Hoosierbuddy" has had one in his car for quite some time. Despite a few teething problems he has been very pleased with it . A search should turn up some of his posts about the whole thing. Keywords like "4R70W" and "Baumann Engineering" should also be...

    granada parts on my 66`

    You can indeed use the Duraspark, a nice upgrade I think. Plus if it gives you any trouble replacement parts are to be had at any parts store. I've done more than a few of these upgrades myself and have always been pleased with the results. You'll want to get the distributor, the coil, the...

    upgraded ignition

    I'm rather fond of the 70's Ford Duraspark II setup. You can buy a rebuilt distributor at most parts stores, likewise the ignition box. You can work without out it, but it's nice to have the OEM harness the connects the coil, distributor, and box. A pretty simple upgrade as you can just hook...

    Ok, so the rack&pinions suck... What are we gonna do about it?

    Err, apologies for completely overlooking the prior mention of the Sigma box before I posted. Sorry guys. And I can't believe nobody poked me with a stick for doing so. Anyway, has anybody dealt with these guys?Maval Judging by the order forms, if you knew what to ask for it would be possible...

    Ok, so the rack&pinions suck... What are we gonna do about it?

    Looks like a good time to kick in an off the wall idea. I (and some others) tracked down a rumor of a shop in New Zealand that fitted a power box out of something called a "Sigma" (IIRC) into a classic Mustang. A Google search will turn up evidence of this. One guy emailed them about it and they...

    Where to put CD player ?

    67 and 68 cars are the easiest to install CD players into. I found a used bezel at a swap meet that had been patially hacked to apparently fit som older cassette player. Got it really cheap and it was no big deal to grind and file it out some more to fit my Kenwood Excelon. I did have to sand...

    Anyone put a rollbar in a 67 coupe???

    Yes. Just finished putting in the $169 Competition Engineering "kit" into mine. Be aware the "kit" consists of a main hoop that pretty well fits your car and a box of generic "rest of it". Bars vaguely cut to size, the 6" plates, some reinforcement brackets, and some generic instructions. All...

    How Do These Power Window Kits Work?

    I read this and thought "well, one of us is stupid" DOH! It's me. I was looking at the "Buy It Now" stuff in the Ebay link from the first post and neglected to notice that for $40 you can get a power LOCK kit. My bad. As mine were given to me, I never paid attention to what they sold for. Still...

    Negative Wedge Kits for 67?

    I might be wrong, but I get the impression the "the "special" ball joint that pro-motorsports uses" is a standard replacement balljoint. They take it out of the box, enlarge the mounting holes to fit the bolts in the "kit" and toss it back in the box. Since I haven't (nor will I)actually...

    How Do These Power Window Kits Work?

    OK, since you didn't do all those posts on purpose... A friend gave me a pair of these to play with and I did. I had completely redone my regulator and all on my 67's pass. side door, so it would crank up and down with two fingers. I got the SPAL fitted and it zipped up and down nicely. I tried...

    MTV's Pimp My ride

    Yeah, the floorpans bothered me a bit. They estimated they spent $30,000 on the crappy Ranger they did before the Mustang and they couldn't be bothered with putting in at least repop floor pans? Sheez. Then the rims. That caught my ear really quick. "No rims available" for that particular car...

    Negative Wedge Kits for 67?

    No. That's why I'm not copying them. And I didn't print out the specs and part numbers. Pay no attention to those bearings on my workbench next to the replacement lower arms, doesn't mean a thing. Nope, not me.

    Negative Wedge Kits for 67?

    John, kind of what I saw when I mocked up my four-bolt. Except that my "wedge" wasn't gaping open on the outside. I agree, that particular 3 bolt setup doesn't "look" good at all. On mine with a Granada spindle and a 7 inch wide 15" aluminum rim I was fooling with for mockup purposes, the rim...

    has anyone ever thought about running 2 alternatures, if so any ideas on how to wire?

    I know they used to do this with plow trucks, but nowadays you can just get a replacement alternator for a 92-3 Taurus with the 3.8 engine. It's rated for 130 amps. It's larger than you alternator but usually is a straight bolt in unless you have the "short" lower adjuster bracket. It uses a...

    Negative Wedge Kits for 67?

    The "Shelby drop" is just as valid an upgrade for your 67 as for earlier cars. Though the suspension was upgraded a bit, the actual design remained just about the same. Ford knew well that about 98% of their customers were not particularly skilled drivers and had no interest in roadracing...

    Recomend a 1-Wire Alt + More

    There's a simpler alternative unless you are dead set on going with a "1 wire". 86 F150's with the 460 engine came with a 100 amp alternator. This alternator is larger but usually will bolt right on to your existing brackets. There is a difference in wiring, instead of separate wires on the...
