    On summit you can narrow the search to the vehicle and then it will give you the right part number if you Cant find it ill post a linkage when i get to my computer using my phone at the moment

    if i may ask why are you getting the III series Only difference really between the II series and III series is a rev limiter for daily driving or a mild built engine the II is great thats what i had and is a bit cheaper just my opinion thou

    No all you would need is the II system and the coil to go with it and if you still have the stock plug wires you need to upgrade to at a higher mm i got 8mm wires

    there is a kit through mustangs unlimited that has everything for cheap.

    You dont need a 2 step period. Im guessing you just want to do it for show. Itll be better if you just get a flamethrower kit.

    The II step up just takes out the points and replaces them with magnets to have a more modern electric spark with no needing to adjust it and is much easier to start you Cant tell from the outside of the dist cap that its not stock so i Cant see why he would want to do it for show but its much better for the engine and its a cheap up grade its a must needed in my opinion

    Read his second post again. He asks about running a 2step by that he wasnt refering to the ignitor II module he was refering to a 2 step. And since im guessing you dont know what it is, ill tell you :) A 2 step cuts off the ignition at a given RPM to certain cylinders, a lot of guys just get them so they can make the popping sound. The popping sounds comes from the raw fuel in the mix. If your running a turbo i can see why you would need it, it helps spool up the turbine due to the increased heat. In a manual transmission you can use it as a second rev limiter. Now alot of guys who run these just do it to make the sound..... Thats just for show.

    im going to be draging the car so i figured 2 step is great for launch's but if it doesnt help without the turbo then eh i wont bother. i will probably just get the II and buy a diff dizzy cap so i can run 8.5mm im running 7.5mm right now.
