Well, I finally decided to go ahead and pull the 223 out today so I can start rewiring the car with the rebel kit. It went pretty quick only took about an hour and a half from start to finish to get the engine and ****** out. Buy the car looks like a g***er now with that heavy 6cyl out of it I cant wait to get my 289 in it so I can drive it again, Ive been going through DT's seeing it set there. Is there anything else I should be looking to do while I have the engine out? I know I will do the 6vt to 12 change and the rebel wiring harness. I did notice it has been changed to Negative Ground by the PO but is still set up as 6vt. Do I need to get a new Solenoid for the Fender well that the Positive post goes to or will the one it has work? Thanks
so you pulled the motor hmmmmm.....ill belive it when i see it !!wheres the pics lol arming yourself with a camrea is a must when pulling engines! when i did my 12v convert i just used the same one works just fine!!
Yes you will have to change to a 12 volt solenoid try Autozone they have a std and a heavy duty,the heavy duty is only $15,if they ask you what car you have tell them a 1967 Mustang with a 289.
Losthope, I will get a pic up today I was going to take some pics while I was doing it but forgot about it when I get to unhooking things LoL, Besides I was standing on the front of the engine compartment using the come-along and im no gazelle so I would probably be in the hospital today had I tried to do both at the same time Thanks jeff, I will grab one today.
Need to step down the gauges unless you are replacing the stock ones. and if you have a clock, step it down to 6V...
how about clean as much grunge and crud out now that you can get to it, and maybe spray bomb some of the smaller pieces just to clean it up more.
