1969 Grande Upgrades

[Mr. Austin]

So I just landed a job at Checker Auto Parts down the street!!

Now i am looking into some stuff that has been needing to be done for a very long time now on my car.
I want to know in opinions and experience where the best bang for the buck is.Different types? Ones to stay away from? Anything will help. This is in order from what is on my mustang to do list in the garage. Not in order from what needs to get done soonest. I am still on a budget but I can save up for things I really want
1. Aluminum Radiator
(302 If possible aluminum with tranny cooler if not ill buy a separate one.)
2. Both front and back brake systems. (New Disks in the front and drum in the back)
3. Suspension rebuild.
Needs all new seals and everything. But don't need shocks as shocks are about a year old.
here is what i found:

4. Want to get separate hood for scoop (whats a good hood/scoop to invest in Boss,mach 1, NASA?)

5. Chin spoiler/Trunk spoiler (Whats Better Plastic or Fiberglass?)

6. Electronic Ignition (Tired of points)
7. Need to get my tires aligned and all that jazz
8. LED Tail lights. Non Sequential just replacement bulb.

[Mr. Austin]

Anything? Someone here has had to of gotten body work done before

for the electronic ignition.. the pertronix deal isn't bad.. or you can use a distributor of a 84 mustang and then wire it in to a msd 6a or a ford durasprk box..

[Mr. Austin]

Any Power gains or anything? I have heard MSD is the best and never heard the 84 mustang thing. Do the cam gears all line up? Junk yard stuff that sounds like!

[SloSVO]

power gains minimal.. just reliable.. the msd set up would be the most expensive.. the 84 thing is second as far as expense unless you junkyard everything.. a rebuit dizzy is probably 45 bux at you job..

the pertronix runs on its own.. no module needed..

I think Mustang Monthly may have an article on this... have you checked their website?

Hey Austin, here's a thought...."save your money for a while". You never know when you could have a break down or get a ticket lol. Uncle Rick

[Mr. Austin]

Haha i will be saving my money like i said in the first post this will not be an instant thing. this will be over time. but i want to know ahead of time whats the best and where is the best. I do want electronic ignition asap though.

[Mr. Austin]

What one of the better aluminum radiators? How many cores should i go with?

Congrats on the job, I know you were wanting that one pretty bad.
