    No chance unless you shave your shock towers even then it would be a tight fit. Hedman 88400 fit but will need some fitment help at the collector , you can do a search on here about shorty headers , others have used Doug Thorleys and had good luck with them for fitment

    Fox body, 5.0 Mustang headers.

    Those have far more clearance to strut tower, won't fit Mav/Comet.

    Casted my kicker panels and fitted them for jl 5 1/4 speakers. The speakers only stick out about 1 1/2 inches. Will wrapped these in black vinyl to match my other panels.

    Under hood, AFAIK there isn't one.

    The power feed to coil can be used to drive a 12v relay that switches battery power. How my Comet is wired.

    Thanks, I had a bad starter solenoid which caused a bunch of mysterious wiring gremlins. Like the ignition wiring (red w/green tracer) to act funky. New solenoid corrected it.

    removed all my temp wires with alligator clips and wire nuts from under the hood. Soldered and heat shrinked it all up.

    I had that happen on my Cobra, would have to smack solenoid to shut it off.

    Saw this on FB market place this morning, drove over and picked it up for $50. Internals looks good, needs a new input shaft and rebuild and it will be good to go! 01AD3B0A-3446-401F-9A6F-11A0CFD255FD.jpeg 62A85C69-8A72-4A2F-9497-25184DA6655A.jpeg

    Good score, the bellhousing alone is worth twice that or more.:thumbs2:
    What’s wrong with the input?

    Couple of chips on one of the input gears. All the other gears are in fantastic shape though. The main shaft will need to be replaced as it has some damage to the rear splines but It came with a replacement. I probably won’t even end up using that bellhousing as I have an early one to run my z bar set up.
