A buffalo’s first bowtie

Ya gotta love a bowtie that looks that nice.

Thanks MM...never look under my cover so I forgot how nice my motor looks.

If you guys look close you can see I am grinning...thats because the guys made me hold that tool for the pictue. And eric...I know perfectly well that it is a Ford engine (motor)...it say so somewhere.

Tried to sneak one past ya Greg...didn't know if you were watching this thread.

Gottaski I think you might be working off old info, I just got this off of the msd support forum from a support tech.

"As long as they are a "spiral wound" or "radio suppression" type, they'll work just fine. Do not use a straight solid core wire. These emitt too much RF interference which can have a negative affect on any electrical component on the vehicle including the MSD."

Nah, he was just combing his hair in the reflection of the valve covers. At least he has hair to comb!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you guys about your questions, but I had to go look up the answers.

Joe, as far as cost for the MSD setup, if you were to pay retail, that setup would probably run you about $450-$500 including the coil. I know that parts can be acquired for a lot less than retail if you know where to look or if you know someone.

MM, the spark plug wires are Accell 8.8MM 300+ Ferro-Spiral race wires. Came highly recommended from a gearhead friend that builds race engines (who is the one that recommended the MSD setup too). I must admit that they are nice. They look and feel exactly the same today as they did eight years ago, meaning that they are still very soft and flexible with no signs of cracks, melting or hardening of the wires or the boots.

Check out this Bad Boy!

joe..now all you need is a clear motor box, so you can see your clear cap at night!

Here is the Clear DUI installed for comparison.

I should be flogged anyway for getting Joe worked up after his gracious help on this thread!   LMAO

The 2 leaks go in the dain bramage file. I had a plug in place of the oil pressure sending unit for painting...but only finger tight. The other was the cap on my drain line...again, only finger tight. I only lost a few drops and I expect everything to grow back.

FWIW-The proform priming tool on the bench didn't give near the push of the modified distributer that I borrowed from Sherman(in pic).

Only 2 leaks.

I'm sold!

Joe, I think you have a fine looking engine as well. As far as details, I'll agree - you missed removing the Glastron tags from the manifolds!! Did you have to buy a old Glastron to get them?

[QUOTE=MaddMarxx] Joe...what is that thing with the yellow sicker on it, on the top left corner of your motor?

Thats the flux capacitor... actually just the perfect pass actuator.
