    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Hi Jim, That part is the constant voltage regulator for your instrument cluster. Basically what it does is reduce the 12V input to around 6V, which is what all the stock gauges run off of. Your feed line will attach on one end and the other end will split between the fuel gauge, oil pressure...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Actually yes, however I have been insanely busy and haven't had the time to put the thought into a good post. I do have a good bit of pictures though. Once I finish I'm going to do a thorough write up. One thing I've found with this kit is that while it is an excellent product, it requires some...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Just letting everyone know I'm still alive, haven't electrocuted myself yet. :lol: Anyway, up until this weekend I haven't made much progress because of other things that got in the way of working on the car. Right now I'm try to battle through some very vague and ambiguous instructions by...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Routing the Harness - Part II After routing Circuits 1 and 2 (Engine and Front Lighting) I was left with this, which is how I originally was planning on routing the under dash stuff. This would actually be a good time to wrap the wires if you started with the wires like this, otherwise...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Routing the Harness - Part I One of the shortcomings of the AAW instructions is the rather poor harness routing diagram. It leaves much to interpretation. After trying to do what I saw indicated in the instructions for about 2 weekends I had pretty much given up on it and decided to do it my...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Yes I'm putting this in with my engine still in the car. It shouldn't make it any harder with the engine in. Not much harder anyway. There is one hole that needs to be drilled in the center of the firewall that is a little tricky with a standard drill. It would be easier with either the engine...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    I don't know if there would be room on the other side or not. There are certainly more things on the left side that might cause problems. (Fresh air vent, dimmer switch, clutch if you have a manual, windshield wiper foot pedal). Like I said before it doesn't look like access is going to be a...

    Future Project

    Hi and welcome to the forums! Are you looking to pretty much exclusively import parts from the US? What kind of support does New Zealand have for classic mustangs? I don't know myself but I think Australia has a few old mustangs running around there might be some vendors there.

    Alternative Fusebox Mounting Locations - For folks stuck with In-Dash A/C As you all know I ran into some issue mounting the fusebox because of interference with the in-dash A/C blower motor. I spent the day trying to solve this in the easiest possible way. Turns out it wasn't too bad. So you...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Question: Does anyone know if the pink wire in the engine bay harness, named "Ignition Feed - coil" can be used to supply the switched 12V power source to a MSD box? It says in the description "...or be used as the ignition power source for an aftermarket ignition module such as MSD or...

    Opinions Please.

    I've never used it for anything particular so I wouldn't have a problem sticking something permanent in there. My plan of action though is to see if I can relocate it higher up on the firewall near the cowl, perhaps mounting it sideways. If that doesn't work I may see how feasible a console...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    Thanks for the heads up. I want to try it myself in order to save money but it's something I'd like to avoid either way!

    Opinions Please.

    I was thinking about it some more and I'd rather not mount it on the kick panel because if I depart too much from the original location I'm afraid I might run into problems with the wire lengths. That and the possibility of damaging it. I think over the weekend I'm going to try and see if I...

    CHEAP 302 Doner Car?

    I would think the explorer would have the most amount of sellable parts. Off the top of my head -Driveshaft -Rear axle -Intake -Heads (if you weren't going to keep them) There are probably more things you could sell. As far as the cheapest donor car, I would think the Grand Marquis would fit...

    Opinions Please.

    Horseballz - I actually don't know too much about the vintage/classic auto air systems. That certainly sounds like a problem where you are and to an extent where I am. Luckily I'm not a smoker though. Are there any other systems out there? The heat doesn't bother me too much, I daily drove this...

    Opinions Please.

    Ah ok. I'm glad you're finding the thread helpful :) Once I get this figured out, progress should pick up. I'm wondering where else I could put this thing before I talk to AAW. Throw out some suggestions if you want to participate :lol: - Driver's Kick Panel - Engine bay (firewall area...

    Opinions Please.

    In dash, under dash, I always mix up the two. Either way, the literature on my system seems to be few and far between. The blower motor on mine sticks out right above the accelerator pedal. If that was actually what you were wondering about. I don't think that getting to the fuses is...

    Opinions Please.

    I am in the midst of installing an AAW modified chassis harness into my 67 Mustang. Everything has been going well and I am very satisfied with the kit so far. That said, I've run into a bit of a problem. AAW specifies that the fuse box is to be mounted in roughly the same position as the old...

    Rewiring a Classic Mustang

    First Problem Well guys and gals, I've run into the first road block. It should have dawned on me earlier but because I have a factory in dash A/C the mounting location AAW specifies for the fuse box is not going to work. The blower motor will not be able to clear the fuse box. So I'm sort...
