    So I'm looking to do alot to my car in the next month or so before the winter season is over. I am looking to replace my wiring harness, I am replacing the 200 with a 351 Windsor and converting from auto to manual. So I've got my work cut out for me. If anyone has any suggestions for wiring harnesses I would be interested I intend on fuel injecting it and also wondered if anyone has had luck with any of the kits from Holley etc. Also want to do something more modern with steering. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it along with any links of parts you might have had luck with.
    Thanks

    The pedal frame under your dash to the firewall is the same auto or manual - you just need the clutch and brake pedals for the manual set up - pull your auto brake pedal out of the frame and replace it with all of the manual pedals and related parts - everything fits in the same space - that is the way I converted mine :thumbs2:

    I was at the West End Fair Grounds last year hanging with Jean & Dale :)

    Dale is painting more of my parts and hope to pick them up from him at the end of the month

    ive been working on my wiring harness and im trying to locate my revese light switch

    Currently have a automatic and the neutral safety switch is only two wires. I'm assuming that the reverse switch has to be located separately am I correct in saying this?
