UPDATE-- I got the Boss 302 with screwin freese plugs but it only has an Edelbrock 650 4 bbl. If I just do a basic swap with my C-4 tranny an 9" 273 rear end will it work? Improve performance?

Thanks all, the reason I asked: I did a favor for someone and he offered me this Boss 302. He built it for someone else and they reneged on the deal so my friend reclaimed the engine. (the engine was paid for) Supposedly the engine was Dinoed and driven for approx 500 mi.

If I install a Boss 302 with dual quads in my standard basic 73 convert with a C-4 tran with a 9" 273 rear end. Will it work or will I blow everything out?

do you know what the two electrical connections on the passenger side of the octopus are for one appears to be yellow and the other light green

Well...... I blew it all out, checked all the actuatiors checked the incoming vacuume off the manifold (ok) and stil no change. It still won't shut off in the off position (goes to defrost) slight heat through all the vents with the slector in the "cold " Position, A/C blowing "cool" air...

What a great response. thank you so much it'll be awhile before I can reply I've got a lot of testing you give lol.

Hi all; I have a 73 Convert with a 302 and A/C. Problem: when I turn the selector to off, the air is directed up through the defrost. (And seems stronger) Also I have no vacuume on the Biack & purple line coming out of the firewall to the "dohicky"on the heater hose. I also feel heat...

Hi Guys, I have a 1973 Convertible that I drive almost every day. The car jumps and I almost loose control when I hit a bad pothole Should I get all four done at the same time? I really only think I need the fronts. There a so many choices out there I am having a hard time deciding what to buy...

The values I gave were indeed TEMPERATURE readings . I took them with an infered temp gun and pointed it at the wires at the end of the spark plug. I really dont know why I took them I just did on a lark I have no idea what they mean. OK back to the timing, I did some testing today, I ran the...

Hey all thanks for the reply, I checked the timing marks against the tdc on the compression stroke of #1, and found that the pointer showed aprox 6-8* after tdc. about the same spot I have the timing set now (No ping) I would guess that the balancer had shifted huh? Additional clues: I...

Hey everyone, a new problem has occured with my 302 2v that I have never heard of. I had a problem with overheating and a "Ping" when the engin got hot. I fixed the overheating prob by changing out the radiator and putting in a 190* thermostat. My timing was set at 8-10* BTC and the car would...

A repo trunk Lid at CJ Pony, is $135 and that includes shipping. Saves alot of time and effort

First let me thank all of you who have offered suggestions on the Overheating prob on my 73 Vert v2. I had tried self flushing the radiator, changing thermostats, re-tuneing, and my last hope was to pull the heads and change the head gaskets. On a lark I called our local radiator shop to check...

OK guys, I talked with a radiator guy today and we pulled the radiator for purging and redoing. I hope this fixes both the overheating and the pre-ignition problem, I will let you all know

I guess that is a very real possiblity, the guy that put it in for me is an "OLD" shade tree mech. He has rebuilt many engines esp Mustangs. who knows??????? Thanks Chuck and everyone else that has replied Ted

Hey Chuck I Just rechecked the timing and it is set on 10btc Hey, No butterfly , headers
