that is worth a look. I primarily just need the wiring for ignition and computer and all the fuel rails and such components that make it run. I can wire the turn signals and headlights and all that auxiliary stuff separately. By the way do these things require O2 sensors and all that...

Thanks, that was actually extremely helpfull. I emailed painless about the wiring issues to see if they had a product tailored to fairlanes and have yet to get a reply so this should be fun.

Do they make these kits for fairlanes? I have been trying to convert from carb to efi for a while now and don't know where to begin with the wiring. I have all the parts (upper/lower intake, fuel rails, speed density computer etc.) but have yet to find wiring diagrams for both setups so I can...

another idea. Do you guys run power steering or is manual easier to keep tight. I'm still looking into this rack and pinnion setup my friend's been telling me about as well. So many options and i dont know which way to go right now.

well the 40 year old springs is a given. This car has lived within 2 blocks of its current location since it came from the dealer. So everything that has been upgraded, i did. I guarantee nothing has ever been touched on steering or suspension except for trying out some steering boxes from...

i need help figuring out what i need first. lol. Suspension and steering i have very little if any experience with. At the moment i'm building a rear end and i gotta get this project out of the way first. Sucks working on a car that's in texas when you're in virginia. i hate being in the...

I think they look good matched. my baby was in an accident and when we repainted the new door (somehow only the one door was harmed) we werent paying attention and painted the inside not realizing the other doors werent like that(still green interior body is black now). personally i like how...

depends on if you wanna go steel or billet and make it look nice. I got the billet ones 1" pair for like $75 i think. its been a few years since i bought them. It was from a company called texas mustang. i can find a website if you want it. or just google it im sure itl pop up. I know they...

anybody know where i can find suspension parts that fit a 69 fairlane. I'm having the same issues but all i ever see on websites is "fits such and such mustang" never anything saying it fits a fairlane. We're starting with alignment and new tires first off since treadwear is obvious and they...

yeah like i said everybody has their own preferences. Mine are hooker comp something or other i got used for like $75 for the pair. i thought i wanted to build a drag car back then and they suited me just fine. unfortunately i put em on a basically stock 302 and i think i actually lost torque...

yeah straight pipes and cherry bombs will just annoy you and you'l end up upgrading anyway so just save for what you want. Only make sure if you plan on doing anything with the suspension such as sub frame connectors, sway bars, or whatever that might interfere with the routing of your exaust...

sorry guys, its been a whlie, ive had a busy last couple of weeks. anyways thanks for all the help. It turns out i have a good chance of getting stationed back in texas (where my car is) in a few months. So i'l have much more time to play with some of this stuff. So it'l be a few months but...

cool, well they do sound like theyl be an important upgrade, i'l definitely look into those. but its been a long week of late flights and i gotta get some sleep so il get back with you guys on this later. thanks for the advice though.

sub frame connectors just scare me, im not sure how much il have to cut and weld, if theyl interfere with my exaust cause thats custom and i dont wanna spend that money again. i have brand new seats and upholstry in there too and i don't know where the connectors will come through at. my whole...

whats up with the air ride stuff? I heard about em on one of those tnn shows where they upgrade random stuff, Lift trucks, performance mods, etc... anywho they said the setup was pretty nice but i dont know much about em.

thanx, this is gonna cost me more than i thought, but what parts absolutely have to be done first so i dont have to keep takin stuff apart to upgrade the rest? i cant do it all at once, but im plannin on doin it all, short of the subframes. its not gonna be an all out drag car, more of a half...

ok, i know this is a mustang site, but i was hoping some of you classic guys knew about fairlanes as well. Anyhow, i've had this car for a good 10 years now, it's 35 years old on top of that, and it's high time i put some suspension components on this thing. Okay first off its a 69 fairlane...

maybe its just me but you ever have to look at HID headlights from oncoming traffic at night? even on low beam they still blind you. You find out real quick how bright the high beam is when you flash them and they flash back. Their nice for your vision, but personally i wouldn't like to see...

thanks for the imput guys, obviously it's pretty common to put these things on classic stangs cuz they just look good. I didn't know what they'd look like on a 4 door, and i didnt even like em much at first, but every time i walk past that car I want to keep them. I think i will buy these...

okay lets see if i can make the poll work. never tried one. anyways i put some new wheels on my fairlane. We finally got the bullitt wheels on there, and for any that remember my first post about that wheel spacers were necessary on the midsize cars. so heres the deal, i put the bullitts...
