Push rod length checker DIY.



A important thing is lenght of the push rods. A lenght checker isnt expensive.
I didnt had one in hand so i made my own.

Cut the old push rod in two half, cut off another inch or two from one of the halves.
Make threads in both halves with a tap. I used M6 and i think that 5/16 should work.
Take a threaded rod and 2 nuts to lock the threads. Simple and perfect and almost free.

Electronic ignition installation true 12 volt.

When installing electronic ignition on a Ford its important that you get 12 volt to the ignition feed.
Originally the Ford ignition runs with a lower voltage ~6 volt. Therefore you have to connect to a true 12 volt source. Here is "by the book" the right place to connect. Behind the instrument cluster to the tachometer wiring before the pink resistance wire.

Its important that you have the power feed from a source that is hot only when you turn the ignition on.
If you have 12 volt constantly to the ignitor it will break.
If you dont have true 12 volt to the ignitor or your modern electronic ignition it will break also.

Electric headlight door conversion, Mercury Cougar XR7 -70



A pretty easy conversion that costs about $90 to do, not more.
I bought a used Mazda Miata headlight door actuator from a scrapyard for about $70.
A adjustable rod i stainless steel for about $11.
A relay for $5. Wiring, bolts, fuse and a small piece of sheet metal i had in my garage.
