Hello...I'm new to the forum but not new to owning a Cougar. I've got a '68 XR-7 that's been in my family since the cars birth. I've owned it since I was 14 so it's been 9 years now and I haven't been able to do anything special to it accept keep it running.
But now, the time has come for me to give this car what it deserves.
It has 105,000 original miles on it and I drive it 5 days a week to/from work at 36 miles a day.
It's a standard 302 2V and like I said, nothing special added on.
I'm looking to basically keep it my daily driver but I want to make it a little more fun but not lose too much in the gas mileage arena (right now I average 16 mpg).
My dad said I should put in an electronic ignition and open up the exhaust which would help me out some...but I hear there's quite a bit of knowledge in this forum to be gained and so I want to know what you guys think and where I might be able to find an electronic ignition.
Oh, and since I'm new I'm wondering where we post pix of our cars and see everyone elses.
