I am currently repainting my engine compartment, working on painting the grill.  Thanks for the information concerning the Duplicolor Ford Charcoal Grey Metallic paint to use around the head lights.  I noticed that it was not Semi Black or Slop Grey as most of the other parts.  I also plan to...

I installed a similar kit from GPS yesterday and I was wondering if you have experienced any problem with your flexible brake line connection I had to remove the last screw holding my stock hard line to the frame on each side to get the end of the provided flex line to connect. The connection...

71 convertible "F" code, C4

I wish I had known that before I wired mine to the fuse box. But I guess it is never too late to go back and change it.

Problem solved! - I found a black elbow that fits on the PCV (Dorman 46017) with an opening for a 3/8" ID. I also bought a 3/8" to 3/8" barb to use with the 3 feet of 3/8" PCV/fuel line. This will allow me to use my stock cap and make a clean connection to the front of the 1403 Edelbrock...

I am still waiting on parts for my new carburetor project for my stock 302 - but I can see the PCV is going to be a problem.  The smaller PCV on the Edelbrock 1403 is in the front and uses a 3/8 ID - (I think that's the correct term for the inner dimensions for the hose).  I fuel line fits...

Change of mind on the spacer.  The 1403 will fit without the spacer - but it will be tight on the throttle side since I had to order and add the Ford 1483 throttle kit for my kickdown for the tranny.  So I did my measurements with the play dough and had about 2&1/4 inches to the hood - and I...

Maybe I can handle this intake by myself - I always had to call in help with the stock one.

And I am still trying to figure out exactly how to reduce the size of the hose on my stock PVC hose to the smaller size of the PVC in the front or the back.
