Re: Bought '61 Falcon V8/5speed/ 5lug
The little cars of the early 60s had similar designs for a lot of this stuff. If it's already a resto-mod then just find matching stuff that can be made to work. Falcon, Mustang, Fairlane, Meteor, or Comet stuff is all similar in ways.

Re: Bought '61 Falcon V8/5speed/ 5lug
not a bad little car, buy if it were mine I would lose that chev. HEI style of dist. don't get me wrong they work great, but to me they look way out of place in a Ford, a little on the ugly side to me, but that is just my opinion. I am just glad that these cars are being saved

Re: Bought '61 Falcon V8/5speed/ 5lug
The distributor does look disproportionately large, but the camera might exaggerate it. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. However, if the car is parked on level ground in the photos, I would raise the front. Personally, I think raising the front would look better than dropping the rear.

Still need the little plastic circle clips for the trim installation. Come in three sizes and the middle one is sold out at the Mustang shop. Newc
