    shock tower chop in a 66

    Attached is what I've done so far. I got TCP UCAs with the drop arms and flipped them so the bolt holes would be lower. I had to cut holes for the heim joints to fit. I'll post more pics when I get paint on them. I've also got some pics of the header clearance before I did this, will post...

    Motor Mounts

    I used a screw driver and a BFH and my headers moved. I've since pulled the motor and ground on the steering box.

    shelby drop w/ TCP UCA, flipping the mount '66

    Mine are on the way, I have a neighbor with a set. I borrowed them last night. I made holes 2" below the stock ones and checked the position of the arm. It ends up in the same spot. I'll post pics up once complete.

    shelby drop w/ TCP UCA, flipping the mount '66

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. The TCP drop arms have a 1" drop built into them. They did this so you would not have to drill holes to get the 1" drop. Rather than put them in the stock holes I was going to flip the mounting bar upside down and drill holes 2" below the stock holes. This would put...

    shelby drop w/ TCP UCA, flipping the mount '66

    I am shaving my shock towers, and want to drop the bolt holes as low as possible. What I was going to do was use the standard TCP arms for '66 and their template. That would drop the bolt holes down 1". Rather than do that I am thinking about getting the TCP UCAs that already have the drop...

    One Wire Alternator with MSD Ignition

    I've got a 150 amp fuze. From my 1/0 welding wire in the trunk it runs to a post in the engine compartment. Everything in the front of the car runs to ground at the post. MSD goes directly to it. Some of the interior stuff goes to bus that goes back to the post. The engine has a 1/0 wire...

    One Wire Alternator with MSD Ignition

    I have a 1-wire powermaster, and no issues yet. However, only got 400 miles on it due to clutch, TOB, tranny, issues, and now a freeze plug. I do run 1/0 cable up to the front of the car and have a + & - post that I wired my MSD to. Starter gets juice from the same post. My alternator goes...

    Water Pump Inlet for 408W in 67 Mustang

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GRI-1-55242-X/ I use this with a standard flow passenger side inlet pump. I did some mods in my 66 to get it to fit, but it might be easier in the 67 to fit. I used a moroso bracket for my alt, it can be set up for any location on the motor. I do run a serp...

    Vacuum Pump Recommendations

    If you don't mind the noise and having the plumbing I'd say it is worth it. I like the power assist, but never tried manual with 4 wheel disc. I would keep your canister in series.

    Self-disconnecting window regulators

    Yep, if no clips on the plastic rollers they will not stay on. The fitting that the roller slides on has a recess that the clip rides in keeping the roller on. The rollers are cheap, I'd buy extra in case you break a couple in the fitting process.

    Vacuum Pump Recommendations

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SSB-28146/?rtype=10 ( I think it was that one) I've got it in the trunk along with a canister. I don't pull any vacuum from the motor. It is kind of loud, but they all are loud. I can't hear it with the car running (but my car is loud). It is nice having...

    Self-disconnecting window regulators

    I had the same problems as I had changed some things up in the rear windows. I did two things to solve the problem. One was reshape the clips to apply more pressure, needle nose vise grips and some patience. 2nd was I rebent the arms to slightly different angles to apply less pressure to the...

    408W Fuel System

    I've got an electric aeromotive. I wish I had a mech, the electric is very loud. However not sure if a mech would keep up. I think with yours it would.

    Which Distributor?

    mine did worse starting with timing pulled. Not that I have the same build. I'd spend the money and get the MSD.

    Which Distributor?

    mech adv, or lock it out. I've got a little more cam and head and run 34 degrees locked out. I have a programmable 6 box and tried running an advance program and the motor did much better locked out than with a ramp.
