Getting rid of it sounds easy TYVM . So just hook up what the 302 had and I should be good to go ok I can do this.


Thanks again

No emissions testing here. Both vans have no cat.

NFLDFORD RockAuto Parts Catalog Has the correct flexplate.

PIONEER brand Part # FRA205 - $40.79.
or an

ATP brand Part # Z105 - $41.79.


or if you want to find a Ford part the #'s are: C5AZ6375T or E0AZ6375A.
Thanks for helping out with these part #s I ordered my flexplate today. I had no luck finding a donor crown vic from 1980 .

I got most of the wires figured out. I used the small wiring harness from the original 302. I am having trouble with the vacuum lines. I want to hook up only the necessary lines.

Help!

I got my flexplate but can't figure out the vacuum hoses. I am not sure where to hook up the distributor vacuum line to the carb. There are so many vacuum ports on this intake, I don't know what to hook up or where.

There are a bunch of ports plugged off with hoses and screws.

How does the vacuum line to the exhaust hookup? Is it straight vacuum or controlled by a valve somewhere?

Can't really help on that one. It's hard to see exactly what it hooks up to. I haven't seen one of those in that spot on any of my engines.
