I previously remembered the rebuild on my 390 dist being unbelievably low as it was a dual point and included all internal parts and was just a whopping $125.00. I almost fell out of my chair at how low it was, and was just as surprised to find today that service is still just $129.00, AND comes with a warranty! As I did before, Craig said to just box it up with a letter stating your rebuild desires and contact info.

Thanks for the info reid! After a sonic cleaning the guts look a lot better, but for 129 that will be my next stop

That cracked me up, as did the series of follow-ups

Poly Glow?

It is RR. It has a 71C.    The cap and rotor are available at NAPA.

after lunch hopefully the oil line

Bruce,

Yep, you can't get away with anything on this forum. You have to be proud (of the buffing, leaves, and siding)!!!

Todd

what a find

Thanks Todd, very excited to find a project that doesn't need much and will look respectable after some elbow grease.

We will see how it runs first but no plans to build up a 352.

Spent a few hours last weekend buffing and am pretty happy with the results.

That looks like a nice boat Bruce and sons!

The Ford - rated at 250 HP is that a 4 bbl carb? When did they make the shift from 352 Interceptor to 351? Thoughts on adding power, or stock will be more than enough for you?

Nice find Bruce.Pretty soon you will not be able to use them because your lake will be full of moored boats! Workman and I are going to have to come up with a plan if any more of you Easterners come this way poaching our game

Todd, No way will we ever approach the numbers in the BFNs. I don't think there's enough old boats left out there even if we tried!

This is the first boat we've found without the help of CCF. All the others have come from the Diaries or with our friend's on the site help. This boat presented itself and David jumped on it. We really weren't looking for another old boat to fix up, but this one caught our eye.

That's a great looking boat. If the outside cleans up as good as the inside looks, it will be one sharp ride.

Great work Bruce! Get the boy's onto another project!!

MAN OH MAN, that is one heck of a find. That is a beautiful boat.

Tim, what about that yellow Cuda down the street? That thing has potential if you like to tinker!
