That's cool. My back-up lights are similar, but mounted in the bumper. They're not noticeable when not on, so people assume I have no back-up...
The light install itself was a lot of work (would have been easy on a Coment due to the flat tail light panel) but the sequential flashers...

I run KYB on the rear. They are high quality and a decent price. They are just the stock replacement type (Excel-G), not the high pressure racing...
Spring towers will have to be cut back (or removed, which would require after-market suspension), stock spring rate will not handle the weight,...
Well unless you also have a lot of money to work with, it's gonna be a nightmare...
If it's a '78, it's a South American model, and would have small bumpers and no side marker lights (pictures would help). '77 was the last year...
The rollers are much better. That little bit of rubber on the stock ones is not cushioning much of anything...
It's insane. Re-pops are available but the company rapes you on shipping...
The '73 bumper fits '74-'77 models. 'Might look a bit off with the lack of a front valance (not sure). A buddy of mine had a '74 bumper on the...
'Looks like you intend to make some power with that car. I'd suggest some CalTracs. Oh, and don't forget a Grabber spoiler... :bigsmile:
Cool... :Welcome:
Okay, that makes sense...
I'd throw that boat anchor in the scrap pile and get a 4-barrel manifold made of aluminum. You're already going to all the trouble of removing...
"Period Correct" would be 14-inch wheels. The O.P. stated he would like 15s, which is still nothing "modern" today. Obviously he needs to go with...
A 205/60 is pretty short. It'll work, but doesn't look all that great. A 215/60 is 25 inches in diameter. Which is pretty ideal for the front (25"...
If you want good handling, you're not gonna get off cheap. That 50 year-old suspension probably needs completely rebuilt. Do not use polyurethane...
I'd set it to 14°, then back your idle speed off to 800 in Neutral. Will run even better...
I don't know about the back-plates, but Granada drums would work if you had a '74-'77 Maverick axle housing with the larger axle stub. I don't...
Still really no ideal way (that I've seen) to route the hoses with the spring towers in these cars...
