The Wife(tm) would like to have all 3 in her 67 coupe. She's not making this easy on me. The car currently has a 289 with an auto trans. However I'll be swapping out the trans for a 4 or 5 speed manual for her. The 289 will be staying for the time being but I can see it being replaced down the road with a 251w.

Does anyone out there make or have a package that incorporates these 3 things together and is made for a manual trans? Thanks.

 

yeah, when i was working at bestbuy i used to intall that stuff. its easier then you thinkto do in a classic. and viper makes kits for it.

I am not sure how you are going to have remote start with a manual transmission unless you always put it in neutral with the parking brake on before you leave your car. The others are easy add ons to your car.

 

EFI would be best for the remote start because you can't step on the throttle so that the choke plate can close. Not going to say it won't work, but you have to have a car that starts easy without having to do anything with the throttle.

As for manual trans, I had a Honda Civic for a work car and put one on it. I had to unhook the switch at the clutch because from the factory you had to push the clutch before the starter would go. I then rigged that wiring to a switch arrangement I put on the stick. Basically the starter wouldn't run unless it was in neutral. Had to be that way every time whether using remote start or not. I then had to remember to put it in neutral and set the brake to use the remote start. I spent a lot of time getting it to work because of all the mods because it was a manual transmission.

Without those mods, itis aneasy installation. I put another one on a automatic transmission minivan we had and hooked up remote start, door locks,andhatch release and it only took a few hours.

Hope this helps

As far as the alarm, i wouldnt do it. My 66 had an alarm when i got it, and it was worthless. it was the viper unit, and it constantly malfuntioned, and even if it went off, I could still start the car and you couldnt hear the alarm over the sound of the engine... plus, nobody pays attention to car alarms these days.

 

Here's a link to the alarm and remote start system my son put in his 04 Ranger.

I would not recommend a remote start on a manual trans car due to concerns about starting it in gear.

 

Thanks for the input and links. I've seen the remote start in a few manual cars already but need to look into that a bit more before deciding on it. As for the alarm well.. it can help. Of course, if someone wants a car bad enough there really isn't anything that will stop them.[:'(]
