The "MSD" sticker on the ignition box screams add-on. It was an over the counter Ford performance part, but not factory installed.

Here's mine about 5 years ago. Still looks about the same... I hate that dealer "Super Seal" that you see on the hood and inner fenders, and along the whole underneath of the truck... It's rubber and begining to peel now.

I need to remember to save these photos when I get home. I'd like to add A/C to my 460 one of these days.
I know what you mean about spaghetti - ESPECIALLY the damned float bowl vent tubes. What a mess.
Do you think the dynamat on the firewall helped anything?

I had a piece of dynamat laying around, stuck it on the firewall and didn't notice a difference.........it was removed a while back.

That engine was rebuilt after my son blew it on the way to Tucson so I thought it was a good time to give it some love.
Hadn't thought of the Petty colors but your right. lol I was going to do Ford Blue with all Black accessories but my son wanted a "Superman" engine.
Its Ford Blue and Chrysler red. I just hope the Chrysler paint doesnt make it break down or ask me to give it lots of money.

What kind of options does it give you? Never seen one of those, It doesn't appear to be the old Ford Racing module that has the rev limiter.
