Yes, that part number is correct. Hope it works for you as well as it did for me. Patience at you feed it through the hole. I suppose most...
I'm happy to report that there are no leaks after filling the tank. The tank has been full for the last 10 days testing the new sending unit...
I modified an inexpensive universal sending unit today and got it all working. I'll have to test for leaks soon. Pretty confident with the outer...
I had thought about that concept. Thought about making something like that. Didn't know they existed. I ultimately decided to go electric.
Absolutely, I just recieved the sender tonight, opened it up and it looks promising. Modifying the sender shaft and grinding down the plate...
This is what I was hoping to hear. Knowing that sender will fit is promising. Thanks for the idea, I ordered a similar (cheaper $20) one to...

This shows the current set up with the original gauge back a ways (2" tunnel, red painted pvc). The little light shown in the torn apart pic is...
That looks really nice! I like the instrument panel you used. Mine certainly works as is, its just deep in the current set up (hard to view). I...
Ned, thanks ffg or your reply. The original is mechanical already. Plus I am hoping to use the existing side mount hole (vertical wall)....
Has anyone updated the fuel gauge on a Model A using the existing fuel tank? I scoured the HAMB and the internet to find something that would...
So the roller cam blocks are found in explorers and mountaineers? What years? Along with the gt40p heads? Can a 79 block be machined to host a...
Thanks for your reply. Love to hear about someone that has these and is happy with them. Good to know what your combination is that works well...
I agree, no chinese junk! I looked a little for gt40 heads since the reply's on here. If I got used ones from a junk yard, I think I would be...
Mainly around town cruiser, however last year I was fearful of longer cruises to car shows over 20 miles. Hoping this rebuild will allow those...
Thanks, the avatar pic is this car from 1989 when my dad and I pulled it from my grandfathers barn. He bought it in 54 from a junk yard for $50....
Yes, I have noticed the long lead times/availability on the trick flow heads. Still considering the gt40 heads as an option for sure. Good to...
Thanks Mike, yes not optimum combination, I agree. As I mentioned I would like to keep the 8" rear end, mainly because having to find and change...
Thanks for the info. I think 300hp is adequate for what I'm looking for. No need to spend beyond that for this cruiser.
This is what I needed to hear. What is considered an early set of 302 heads? Years?
Well said. As much as I would like to upgrade the heads, its always good to hear this to keep myself in check and not overthink it.
I must say, I have been looking at crate engines as an option. My fear is that I know what I have now fits and will fit again if I have it...
So the duraspark should be fine then? Sounds like the MSD would be a good upgrade?
I haven't ruled out the gt40 heads as an option, just thought I would ask if anyone had good experience with the trick flow heads or top end kit....
So im struggling with the decision on heads for the sbf 302. I'm having the block (1979) rebuilt by a local machine shop and leaning towards new...
I actually got the 302 from a friend for my dad at the time. I don't remember where my dad got the the others. I was building a 460 Bronco at...
Yes, nice observation 28phonebooth. Andy dodge has it correct. It's a bracket for the pan hard bar. I can see that if the bolts holding the...
Liking the idea of keeping the transmission as well. It slips a little between second and third. Knowing it needs some love and after reading...
Thanks squirrel, I was able to find a little more info now knowing it's a 6.75. Still struggling to find other gear options available. I agree...
