If it was my Mustang I would keep searching for the 1101. If you can find one in good shape even if needs rebuilt it will look stock and the linkage should be the same. Keep checking ebay and some other Falcon, Maverick and Mustang sites.
Slobin3d":29mzlpf6 said:Here's where I'm at. I picked up a reman Fairmont dizzy, a recurve spring kit, and a falcon6handbook. Picked up a blue strain control box and everything minus a harness to make it work. I rebuilt the 1100 scv carb and did the scv elimination mods.
The carb was severely off, which is surprising since it was one of those $300 send in your core and we'll ship you a rebuilt carbs. The PO had it installed and it never ran, but considering the vacuum pot on the dizzy was bad, and the hard line broke, no wonder.
So I got it all ready to hook up, I'm thinking I should start at 5* initial, and get the carb tuned as best I can, then start tuning the curve on the dizzy. It has the 10/15 plate and is currently set to 10. I replaced the lighter spring with one of the heavier springs in the kit I have. Mine came w/ 6. 2 sets of 3, of varying tension.
First question, is there a simple diagram or instructions to splice in the duraspark box into the existing harness?
Second, is initial 5* correct? Everything I've read says start where your currently at, but mine runs so poorly that doesn't sound like a good baseline.
Third, best way to verify tdc, seeing as its common for the balancers to slip over time., and if it is, how to accurately recalibrate it. Or is a new balancer a must.
Fourth, is there anything I've missed, or flaw in my plans?
Btw. Car is an auto and has power steering
