Well after a year or so of the house remodel I needed to get back to my falcon..so what can one do to a fuel injection motor? change spark plugs or just look at it..so I decided to remove all of it and put a 4-bbl on it with a good old distributor in it..and it runs great, also roger made a drill bit to drill the spot welds on the tower to fire wall braces, what a job that was,a little welding and some bondo it's looking good,now I can see the master cyl. now.... I know...it's next...the fuel injection was on it for 14 years..how time fly's.....john h

Looks good John. I'm actually working on gathering EFI stuff now. I'm going to go with a MegaSquirt setup with EDIS-8 ignition. The rack and pinion swap is first though.

What tower brace did you go with? It looks like it fits well.

Hi John, now that I can see that master cylinder... WOW! I was surprised to see it is still the single. Don't make me tell my horror story again.

The rest looks great. What is the little blue baggie taped to the front of the passenger shock tower?

My winter project is installing a t-5..
I'm in the final assymbly process now..
Problem is I had a CRS momement and for some stupid reason I used a hole saw to cut the 3" hole for the shifter.. Looks great until you realize that unles you bolt the shifter to the tranny before installing the tranny in the car, this isnt going to work..

Why couldn't I remember this before I went through the trouble of buying a 3" hole saw??

Well its been a while since I responded but yes the winter project is almost complete. Motor / T5 are in. Everything to this point is going well. have about 75 miles on the new motor. Just recently swapped out the restrictive stock linkage for a Lokar mustang pedal throttle cable set up .. Carbs are openning WOT now

Here is avideo clip link.. Just running the stock manifold with a 2" / flowmaster 40 series. Headers are going on next week and I will switch to a Dual out 2.25" with Flomaster super 44's.

Here are a few sites to get you started. The last one is for the EDIS setup.

I already have the MegaSquirt computer built and tested. I also have the 36-1 reluctor wheel, and the cam position sensor to replace my distributor.

The tower brace is from total control products, it's a nice kit ,fit well and the rods are removeable for access to things [ master cyl. comes to mind ] it was 239. john
