Lots, but the most recurring one is 'I don't have the money for the wheels I want'

Coil packs arrived today along with new external badging. The airbox should be here by the end of the week.

I paid $270 thru work (Autobarn) so I'm reasonably happy with that.

msd or demons?

69.95US ea for MSD, so by my rough calculations for 2 - $140US plus $25US for P&H. Convertion about should work out around $190Aus. Or have I missed something?

99US for Demons

bundy >> the postage was more than that.

AUIIPURSUIT >> I'm leaning towards locally made ICE leads.

As far as I am aware you can't actually buy MSD leads 'off the shelf' to suit windsors.

Just scored a T3 cluster fascia too. Got to stop spending on this car!

Few things I've got though them in the past have summit brand polished thottle body and EGR spacer, 1/2 inch theromlite spacer between upper and lower manifolds (must have bonnet buldge or you'll have to use the 1/4 one)
rocker covers and gaskets to suit the lot. Nomally I look at gear for the mustang in the late 80 and early 90s to suit, thats until the coil pack in this thread which as listed applications for the 4.6 Modular V8 which throw me a bit left of centre.

The reason I'm looking at the Demon coil packs is because they are all black and the MSD red ones would need a paint before I put them in my engine bay, hence trying to find out info on voltage ouputs of the stand variety which I may have to call ford about since I still can't find an answer online.

Hoads thanks for the info, the last couple times I've been charged $25US.

Sorry to hijack your thread b2tf.

Very nice ride, and a good thread, ive already gotten a couple of ideas! If i can get my whole "courrier smashed my Carbon bulge bonnet situation resolved" i will have space to play with and can think about inlet manifold bits and pieces etc.

Not to nit pick but that "Falcon" badge on the tailgate doesn't belong there, it's not meant to be on a XR8 of any sort other than the AU1's.

Every AU falcon XR ute had it, not just series 1's. It is going anyway.

PANUP, I think one may have a crack from a stone hitting it but I do have everything else, I will check and let you know.
