    Hi everyone. Driving my '68 XR7 with original 302 recently, it started stalling out when I step on the gas. I realize there could be a number of issues behind this so let me give you some back story. The car was running fine when it went into paint. It has a recently rebuilt 2bbl carburator...

    I'm a younger guy and I'm not very familiar with the points and condenser system on the distributor so.....I went and bought some 9mm ford racing plug wires for my 302 and got them home to realize my distributor cap has female receivers that don't fit. (Coil doesn't fit either). Is a modern...

Now, I know procomp isn't the best...

    After a drive I parked the Cougar for about 5 minutes. I went out to start it again and it started then stalled. I tried again and the engine went clunk, (stopped dead) and smoke started to rise from wiring cooking. Have not got under the car yet to see where the wires were going. They smoke...

    Installed a new Autolite distributor, cap and rotor while installing a Pertronix Igniter III today. After setting the timing to 10* BTDC I hooked the outer diaghram of the vacuum advance to the carb port and plugged the inner diaghram since i'm missing the valve near the thermostat housing that...

    Hi. I've got a '68 standard and am trying to identifiy a couple of wires that I think were disconnected by a previous owner. There is a flat, 3-wire trailer-hitch style connector under the hood right in front of the firewall on the driver's side. One of the wires runs to the coil so that's...
