Your gas pedal linkage, mounted on the firewall, looks to be the same as what I have on the Mustang. Do you have a kick down cable for the trans?

My question is if the nut on the bracket loosens won't the bracket turn on the stud? Yea I know I'm a worry wart but I have seen things go wrong before. If your bracket were longer toward the rear it couldn't torn even if loose. Just want you around to pick on for a bit longer.LOL
Ken, I haven't had the ?ability? to check for a kick down cable but when my son comes over to help me fix the oil pan drain plug we'll have it up on jack stands and take a look. I'm kinda limited right now as far as contortion goes. hahaha
Charlie, I am studying on a way to make sure that bracket can't turn and I've got a few ideas but nothing firm yet, however, I too would like for me to stay around for you to pick on. hahaha
This is what the one on the Mustang looks likeAttachment 58049
Thanks, my son used to be shop manager for Aamco and also a Privately owned Transmission shop so hopefully he will know. I remember he helped set my kick down on my '55 one time.
Got the electric choke wired today and now I need to google and see how to set it before trying to crank it again.
As evident in the picture below, my plug wires on the MSD need majoring cleaning up and, since I received a good report from my eye doctor, I have a plan as to how I want it to look. I'm also thinking that I need to get the type of wires that you make up yourself and cut to the proper length. The wires that are currently on there are at least 2 times too long so there's not a way to make them look and work good.
I'm also assuming that MSD wires and regular Distributor Ignition wires are the same except for maybe their quality ?right? A friend of mine has offered me the use of his "super crimping pliers" which he says is a must use to do this correctly. Does anyone have any particular brand of wire that they can recommend? Price is important but not the only consideration for me. TAA Meller

For the street, I use Taylor wires. Good quality and a decent price!
Em, I used MSD's universal wires, and they have a nifty vice clamp to crimp the terminals in place. Their clamping tool is also a cutting gauge to get the rubber cut back from the center conductor right, and then crimps the terminals exactly right in the vice. I'd buy them again - in fact I DID buy them again, because I cooked the first set with a tuning snafu that overheated my headers and melted two or three wires.
Are these what you're talking about Roger?

I like the Ford Motorsport wires.. And alot of guys on SBF Tech use the same set. Summit lists them.

I like these too and they come in different colors. MSD is nice, a little overpriced for the street. I have Moroso on the Mustang.
Same one's I use Ken!!!! Never had any problems with them, dang good for the price!
These are the ones I used, Em, and it shows the vise terminal clamp in the picture, too - http://www.msdignition.com/Products/...2%B0_Plug.aspx I didn't remember them being so expensive but I needed the universal as opposed to pre-fit.
thanks gents, decision decisions decisions
