New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #63 – February 13, 2012, 08:06:12 PM Haha! I'm a pen 15ehead because I work fast? I need to get the car done ASAP. Me and my wife have only one car right now and it's a PITA taking her and picking her up from work. It would be driving now had I not opted to change the cam and convert to 5-lug brakes, though.

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #70 – February 17, 2012, 07:24:07 PM Getting the motor/trans in and modding the trans x-member was about all I got done today due to rain. Hoping to hit the ground running tomorrow. Some new headers showed up today. Ford racing stainless for "P" heads. After getting them in I see the column shift linkage is going to need some re-engineering or I need to find a floor shifter. I'm not even sure if a tbird/cougar linkage would work. The other day I modified the gauge cluster with a mech water temp gauge. It fit perfectly where the factory buttstuffog clock was! I also added a mech oil pressure gauge on the bezel. Quote Selected
New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #71 – February 17, 2012, 10:48:23 PM Nice work on the cluster. If you need to get a floor shifter, you're easiest find would be a '79-86 Mustang with a 4 or V6. Those all had C3s or C5s so it would be PRND21. Quote Selected

If the top stud on the passenger side ishiznitting the linkage just replace it with a bolt and nut. I have the same headers on my T-bird (column shifter) and that's what I did. It worked like a charm. Quote Selected
