Here's a quick tip for using a larger oil filter on Ford V8s: If you currently use the standard FL1-A1 1 quart oil filter, you can also use the larger 'truck' filter that Ford used on the '89 F700 429 truck engine. The FL1-A1 is ~4.75" long the truck filter is ~6.4". The truck filter has the...

This applies to the 'accessory' gauges: OIL, FUEL, TEMP.  It does not apply to speedometers, tachometers or warning (*****) lights.  I wrote it in plain, simple English so you don't need to be an Electrical Engineer to understand it.  It is a basic overview, not a technical bible.  Ford kept...

Summit carb and Duraspark ignition. Use the small cap if you want the distributor to look stock.

Sure, that's no problem.

Are you grounding the spark plug when attached to coil center post?

I've been after one from Lake Motors in Salt Lake City for 20 years.  I'm wondering if they even had them - it's cool that you have a picture of one.  Will keep my eyes open for yours as well.

Yes, please.  Do you need me to PM my address to you?

Sure do.  All I need is the warning light assembly but if it's easier to send the whole thing that's fine too.  These pics are a clock, but they show the backing plate and front faceplate that I need.

If it has warning lights or a clock I'd be interested in either of those.

I stand corrected.  I was thinking of activating a relay or soft switch like the MSD box, not  a constant power source.

Depending on the solenoid it is hot during run or when the A/C is on, but not during start. The wire midlife directed you to meets both requirements.  You can also tap off the I post of the starter solenoid (same circuit, same function, different place).

Ford used the STA (stator) post on the alternator for a reason.  The choke is supposed to open as the engine warms up. If you use a switched source then the choke is heating and opening as long as the key is on.  If the engine stalls while warming up it still opens, making the choke useless...

Disconnect the factory wire and run a wire from the battery  positive post to the horn.  If the horn works correctly you have a low voltage issue, consider adding a relay. (insert shameless plug here: ) https://www.rccinnovations.com/index.php?show=menu-relays#horn ...

Sounds like the self resetting circuit breaker in the headlight switch is going out.  Change the headlight switch.

Looks good. Nice job.

Last I knew WCCC was buying their boosters from 'Mr Vacuum' up in Canada. I'd be willing to bet they're not married to him. Might be worth a call.

Which parts specifically? I have a ton of old cluster hardware.

Definitely go with Midlife.

A lot of Cougar guys tried them out years ago. They do not have a good reputation, but SD may have fixed the quality issues by now. Last I knew WCCC refused to carry them anymore. You're better off finding a used Ford truck switch and box.
