I use that saying frequently about a number of things. If that was a real Boss 302, who ever did that should serve prison time. I'd love to have my Boss 302 back. Chuck

Excellent work and determination, well done! Chuck

A lot depends on how you intend to use the car MOST of the time. In town cruiser, highway cruiser, bracket race, or something else. The Edelbrock performer RPM intake would work for all of those uses. A good Dura-Spark style distributor, or MSD, triggering an amplifier box (dura Spark I, MSD...

They told me the max repair cost was $144.00, for my pre- Digital 6AL. It may be different for newer models or "potted" off-road or marine models. I'm glad to get the car running again for that sum. The person I dealt with is Jonathan Lowman. He called himself " low man on the totem pole". He ia...

I use Simple Green Aircraft and Precision cleaner to clean a variety of parts. Including carbs in an ultrasonic cleaner (10% cleaner the rest distilled water). I've also had good results using S-100. It is a bit pricey but can be diluted with water and still work well. Chuck

I found the MSD 6AL ignition box was causing a parasitic drain of 40-50mA. I sent it to MSD to be repaired. They fixed it for $80.55. A bargain compared to the cost of a new box. Turn-around time was about two weeks not counting shipping days. They replaced 3 transistors, two resistors, and a...

Sorry to hear that about Eaton spring and lack of customer support. I guess things have changed for the worse. Chuck

I want to see pictures of the 351C Maverick!

Assuming you got all the parts back together properly, I'd think Eaton made a mistake. Contact them, describe the problem, and send some pictures. They have a good reputation and should be able to help you resolve the problem. Chuck

I have reused when in a pinch without a problem. I have thrown away the last two sets of Fuel-Pro end seals as they were too wide front to back. Now using Victor-Reintz (sp) or Mahle depending on what is available. Good luck with the install. Chuck

Why did you need "crank spacers"? What are you using for end seals on the pan? Chuck

Yeah, i was curious about how many would know what it means. Gotta have some fun when I can. Chuck

HEI is un-needed and is "double bagger ugly". As others have said, a pertronix I will get the job done for your application. Every older car I've owned benefitted from 4-6 degrees more initial advance. Does the engine run-on now? If so, what is the idle speed? More initial advance won't stop...

Good on you! Chuck

Not to mention the four wheel drive look that many get with after market springs. I see it a lot. Chuck

The $50K is a pipe dream. $15K for the rebuilt one, if the parts are ALL correct, is within reason. Original parts for Boss 302 parts are eye watering. Prices are even higher for 1969 Boss 302 unique parts. Chuck

SEM has a system for custom mixing paint and putting it an aerosol spray can. The trick is finding a paint store that has the system. The paint code is 6 on a 1969 Mercury Cougar. Chuck

It can be done with one of these, and a handful of adapters and hose. I passed on the idea, it would be a monstrosity when assembled. Chuck...

Yes it does. How much, I don't know.

What Boilermaster said. Chuck "I would add, don't chase numbers on a timing curve unless you 100% know where TRUE TDC is, Ford balancers can and will slip as well as the pointer can be manipulated keep retarding timing until the detonation is gone (that will save your engine."
