Yep, that was me. Still have a bunch of parts for sale. :wink: I can't give you a pic of the harness portion. I sold my car, so don't have a reference any more. If you could find a matching plug with a pigtail, you could always solder it back on to the harness, but soldering 50 year old wire can...

Does this help? Steve

Without seeing it in person, I'll hazard a few opinions. With it that far disassembled, non matching engine, possibly tranny as well, and needing an engine and probably tranny rebuild, value will suffer. It takes a certain person to want to buy a project and rebuild it. To get it to "100 point"...

Next time Rob, I've got a guy here in my town that can do it. Mail it to me and I'll get it taken care of for you. Or better yet, bring it with you when you come to visit! :wink: Steve

Fords of that era didn't use external ballast resistors. Dodge liked using the external resistor in their ignitions. Arlie is correct that the wire to the coil is a resistance wire, and serves the same purpose. The wire from NPD is probably a replacement if yours is cut or damaged. I can't...

I wish it would have worked out that I could have done the car for you Donna. Sorry it's been such a hassle. On another note, I didn't forget about you and the fog light pedestals. I picked up another winter/temp job and all of a sudden it's become 60 hour weeks, so projects all got moved to the...

I like Marty's picks, although I would have to substitute my Sunbeam Tiger for the VW. If I was to go with "strictly common" I would go for a '58 Vette. Almost bought one as a kid, but it didn't work out. Steve

Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one, even with the rain. Steve

And we do have stairs! She's pretty much stuck to the top floor and I have to keep reminding her that I work better when asked instead of ordered. :rolleyes: Steve

I definitely have new respect for people that choose to be caregivers as a career. Steve

Unfortunately, I've been hanging out at home playing nurse, because Deb fell and broke her ankle in two places. Needed surgery to install a plate and 7 screws. Steve

I found reference to assembly plant "M" being in Mexico. They did start producing cars in 1970, so it could be a Mexican block 302 from 1970. Steve

The first thing I would do is pull out the Pertronix and put standard points in, just to eliminate that as a possibility. Since you've cut the resistor wire to the coil, if you use a standard coil, you'll need to install a ballast resistor. The carb backfiring leads me to think of a fuel...

Geez Rob, I wish I had something that this would fit in! That car was such a blast to drive. The intake would never fit under the hood of my Tiger, and it would probably twist the frame in half anyway. Steve

Arlie, I've looked at houses with tandem garages, and the thing that always strikes me is that you would have to play musical cars to get to the one in the back. Since you'd be building 3 walls anyway, and pouring a new foundation and floor for the addition, can I suggest just building a small...

And under the hood looks just as nice! :thumb: Steve

Looks good. Congrats on tackling it and finishing without loss of life or limb. :grin: Steve

I agree. I bought a repop from one of the suppliers once and the frame was actually twisted so the knob wouldn't line up. I had to take it back out and tweak it to get it to work. Steve

Which is why the correct 4300 for a Boss 351 is so hard to find, and expensive. Everyone took them off, threw them away and installed Holley 750's. Steve
