Mk1 Capri stereo install

Hi folks, I’ve been thinking about fitting a stereo to my Mk1. I’m not big into listening to music but sometimes it could be nice to have something to listen to in the background on long drives when the conversation runs out. My problem is I refuse to cut the dash to fit the head unit or cut any met...

Re: Ashley 4-2-1 pinto manifold

Thanks for those.

Thanks,

Kev

Ashley 4-2-1 pinto manifold

Hi, Can anyone running an Ashley 4-2-1 manifold on a pinto engined Capri please post up some pictures to show me the routing of the manifold. Does the manifold run on the inside or outside of the steering shaft? I want to buy a 4-2-1 manifold for my Mk1 but my Capri is LHD. This is fine as I don't h...

Re: Mk1 Capri alternator upgrade.

Thanks for the info.

Do you know the part number and what your alternator can off?

The biggest alternators I can find are for a Mk3 2L transit at 100 amps.

Thanks.

Mk1 Capri alternator upgrade.

Hi, I'd like to fit a bigger alternator to my Capri but I'm not sure how to go about it. Am I right in thinking that old fords had an external regulator? If so is this it? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a306/Kev_Ush/8502F520-7FCA-4B51-B121-9B1764DF46C0.png And a new alternator will have a built i...
