What did the original valve covers on these cars look like? Did they say "powered by Ford" on them? I know they were ford blue, I just need some clarification.
Also, I decided to go for driveability and I'm rebuilding the holley that came on the car for my brother and I went with the 500cfm Edelbrock 1403 with electric choke for me(bro is buying the holley carb off me rebuilt... ). It's about the right cfm for a Ford 302 and I can richen it up if I want a little more performance out of it. But, also, I'm going with the Performer 289/302 intake to go with the carb. Should I paint it ford blue or leave it the cast color?
I just went through plugs/wires. I might install a pertronix ignitor I've had sitting around for awhile.
I'm keeping all the stock parts that came with the car, of course. Once I'm done driving it years down the road, maybe I'll return it to stock. I'm not changing anything that can't be easily changed back, but adding a little more performance never hurt anything... .
