I was begining to worry some about what I had. Now, any suggestions on a good setup to build it? Going to be used for street, nothing radical, but want to have efficient

If the engine is fine, just put on a set of extractors ( headers ), maybe a mild cam. What sort of carby are you running? You can spend as little or as much as you want. It just depends if you are want

They are the same as a Mustang one aren't they? Flick the 2 barrel manifold and get a 4 barrel one if you don't end up supercharging the engine.

I know they sold the Falcons through Ford in South Africa so a replacement remote should not be too hard for you to get. I quite often see second had ones come up on www.ebay.com.au but I have no
