Feeling left out on all the good junkyard scores on here lately, I decided to drop by the Pull-A-Part today. While walking down a row of 50's - 70's trucks, I came across this old F100: Took a peak inside, and hey... what's that? Hurst shifter! Got it for 20 bucks! Will work great on my Fiat to replace the cheap, barely working POS shifter on it. And after I swap it over to T5 later, I can still use the handle. I also scored, not one, but three of these relatively rare Ford "tripminder" clocks for $4.50 each. I've seen these go upwards of $50 on ebay. These were optional upgrade to the standard dash clocks on Crown Vics and Grand Marquis in the 80's, and will work with any OBD-I Ford computer. May work with OBD-II as well, not sure. They provide day, date, time and elapsed time on the clock side of it, and total mileage, average MPH, current MPG, average MPG and total gallons of fuel used. Could be a neat little add on to any Mav that's already been converted to EFI using factory Ford stuff.
Nice scores! That tripminder thing is pretty neat, I've never seen anyting like that. So they will work on any OBD1 Ford, such as my '90 F150?
"Should" work fine. Real simple to wire up, just need a ground, constantly hot and switched wires, and then a wire to the VSS and a wire to pin 34 on the computer. I'm trying to determine if it'll work on OBD II cars as well, my dad wants to put one in his '95 Mustang. and then when they look through your tool bag at the counter, as they do with everybody's tool boxes and bags, you'll be asked to pay for it anyway, and likely get patted down by the cop that's always on duty, to see if you're trying to steal anything else.
