Ok this is my first car and its a 1970 Maverick. It has a dent on the passenger side were getting it fixed. My dad and I are working on it. It has a straight/in-line 6 250 motor. Any suggestions to make it better? Its basically all original. I want to make it better and i need advice plz help.
jilly... welcome! in my opinion, all you really need to do is make sure everything is good. like ball joints shocks, steering... stuff like that. unless you are wanting to hotrod it, i suggest that you just do the drum brake to disc brake conversion. disc brakes up front that is. a 250 has plenty of pep for a new driver. good luck and ask any and all questions. we are all here to help.
jilly, welcome to the board. :bananaman :bananaman if you have points dist. you might want to put a pertronix set up in . cost about $65 bucks and about 10 min. to install. we love pics...before...during...and after. the after pic. could be after you put in a set of plugs, after you change the oil or after you wash the car. it doesn't mean after you get through with the car...frank...
I reccomend Electronic ignition and disc brake conversions in addition to replacing whatever's worn-out on the car...
Welocome to the board Jilly. I agree with what has been said above. The Pertronix can be bought at any auto parts store, & it's less than a $100.00. It's great not having to worry about points anymore. And it's a simple 15 minute install. You won't be sorry.....pictures, we love pictures....
