If i remember correctly, I was told that this combination did not need the custom length rods.

I installed the valve body and I just get stiff shifts, nothing more. I believe the rear end has a gear ratio of 3.00, if the rear end wasn’t changed out throughout the years and from what I read, need a higher stall converter because of my cam. Im sure that if I replace with better parts, I’ll...

Thank you LILCBRA. I ended up buying the performance auto valve body Saturday, we’ll see how that works. I’ll post it after the install.

Anyone try the Performance Automotive PA26302 valve body? I’ve been looking for a review by owner on a Mustang II or Cobra and I don’t see any. I’m looking for a shift kit or valve body that is driveable under normal driving then chirp the tires when needed.

Alright, thank you.

My brother helped me with the rear drums, new brake shoes. I replaced the front calipers and brakes are ok but need to replace all rubbers/bushings in the front suspension. Wants to slightly drift right/left when I press the brakes. Any suggestions as to where to get a good front end bushing kit?

I also installed another aftermarket temp gauge. So running stock and the aftermarket. Aftermarket says 190. Thank you LILCBRA

I got the temp gauge to work by installing a single connection sending unit and wiring it to the red wire with white tracer. However it runs at the half way mark on the gauge. Is that where these cars run normally? I have a new water pump, new radiator, new sending unit, fan shroud and new hoses.

Here is my plug with the three wires. I’ll get a single plug to put on the red white/tracer wire and install a temp sending unit like yours. Hopefully it will work because installing the other did not work. Thank you for your help COBRA 7.

Got the exhaust done. Flowmaster 40’s.

I tried to wire it direct - connecting the wires like you described and nothing. However, I connected the Gray black tracer, green with yellow tracer. That made the tach jump and work but as I revved, it lowered the rpms. Do the wires on the connector look to be the right colors in the right...

Cobra 7 thank you for the reply and helpful information. I haven’t had a chance to work on the car but hopefully this coming weekend.

Anyone ever see one of these? I bought this temp sender off of Ebay for the same year LTD, TBird. I bought it because it looks like the same connection that would fit for this stock Ford connector and same year. I’ll put it on this weekend to see if it works.

Nope, I haven’t been able to find what’s seems to be the correct temperature sending unit with the right connection. Can you send a picture of your temp sending unit that is on your intake? I want to see if your connector is the same as mine. Can you also take a picture of the back of the gauge...

Thanks for the information Jozse. If all else fails, I’ll try that. From what I read, I know that you have to have the same DXFZ part number for both the tach and the adapter for it to work right. What I don’t know is if you have to have the same part number for the printed circuit board for...

I have a 1978 Cobra, 302, auto. I bought the car in rough condition and have been working to get it back on the road. I rebuilt the 302 and I’m having trouble with a few things, one being the tachometer that doesn’t work. The cluster printed circuit board has the part number that starts with...

Interesting, good info. I will see about tampering with the wire to see if I get a reaction from the gauge. Thank you

Thank you for the reply. I’d like to get all of the stock gauges working properly and there is 0 information on this.
