What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

What year is your car that you did the drop and was it with the original style upper control arms? Was it the reinforcement plate that angles from shock tower to frame rail that you had to trim? Could you post a couple of pictures of where you had to trim the brace? Thanks!

cleaned up a little wiring under the hood and ran a new temp sensor wire to move the sensor to the other head. wiring isn't one of my favorite things...

 

I'll post a quick write up on the drop and some pics in the technical board.

 

Today my friend and I worked on installing tachs in our Comet instrument clusters his is a early one (pictured) mine is a late cluster with a early speedometer conversion (pictures to come).

 

Today I finally got around to scuffing up my new Hoosier's for autocross to get ready for test n tune day in a few weeks

 

got the wiring done and fired it up...that was a surprise being all the wires I took out and shortened or ran new...LOL

 

What wiring changes you make, why u made them?

 

I reinstalled the pulley nut on alternator that I found in driveway this morning. Yep just when you think you've seen it all, a new one comes along. I disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and detailed the alt when I installed 306, that was over four years ago.

 

Those damned reverse rotation pulley systems!

 

I got a newer updated control box for the ignition... (MSD 60143)
then my buddy cut about 5' out of the harness so it would be a little neater in the engine bay.
this box has a tach wire that runs from it to the MSD Atomic EFI and from it to the Dakota Digital control box then to the Tach.
also found out that the Dakota Digital control box has a shift light hookup to run to a relay to shut off the compressor at a set RPM......

 

Removed seats/carpet to clean up the floor and prepare for new carpet.

 

Work in the c4 tranny

 

Worked on the Comet instrument clusters again.

The red ones my buddies early cluster sporting a new tach, speedo rolled back to 0, 65-66 Mustang fuel gauge and LED bulbs, all tested and ready to install.


The blue ones for my 75, sporting a new tach, 71-73 Mustang fuel gauge, early speedo and late needles. I still have to purchase some LED’s & test all the lights for proper operation.

Here’s the link to the tach kit.
