You'll need new wires for that dist. cap unless you're already running female end wires. You'll also need to fab a throttle rod unless you're already running a 4bbl. Are you using a phenolic carb spacer?
Tax refunds are really benefitting mustangs lately, we helped a new '66 owner redo his 4wh. drum brakes and change a leaking wp yesterday. There went $300 of his refund...but his car is much safer and fun to drive.

You can add a spacer to the seat tracks to move the seat rearward, when I swapped in my foxbody seats I moved the seat rearward ~2" and it gave me a lot more leg room. I'm only 6'1" and I don't even move the seat all the way back now, of course I also have tilt now that helps too.

I'm already running hei so I have the female plugs, I also am running a 4bbl setup. It's just my intake is a little cracked, so I decided to get a new one.

1" drop coils, full coil cut, shelby drop, 2" drop blocks in the rear. Everything else is all original suspension wise except for the 1 1/8" sway bar.

Front wheels 15x7 w/ 205/50R15 tire
Rear wheels 15x8 w/225/50R15 tire

Front wheels have 4.25 backspacing while the rear have 4.5

I've got about 3 weeks until this stuff gets installed. I don't have the time to install with school and work, have to wait until spring break.
