    Internal Selonoid

    I have installed a new starter that has a solenoid attached to the starter. I ran the "S" terminal wire to the starter solenoid and ran positive battery post to starter. I ran a small jumper from positive to accessories as before. What do I run the "I" terminal wire to as it was on the old solenoid?

    Drivetrain Cable Clutch

    I'm doing an automatic to T5 conversion. I have yet to install the clutch pedal. Would it be easier to install the cable bracket mechanism on the clutch pedal now or should I install it after I put the clutch pedal in?

    Drivetrain Spacer Plate

    I'm doing a AOD to T5 conversion on my 68 coupe with 351W. Will the AOD spacer plate work with the T5? It appears all the holes line up with the exception of the starter bolts. Will I need a new starter? Do I really need a spacer plate?

    Drivetrain Transmission Support Brace

    I originally had a C4 in my 68 with 351W and changed that out to an 89 Grand Marquis AOD (using the stock Torque convertor :doh:). I pulled out my AOD last night getting prepped for a T5 conversion. Does anyone know if I can use the modified transmission brace from the AOD for the T5 conversion?

    Adjusting Master Cylinder rod

    How do you and how much do/can you adjust the MC rod that goes from the power brake booster to the MC? My pedal bottoms out too soon and I'm guessing I can adjust this rod so that brakes work a little sooner in their travels.

Does someone have a diagram or picture...
