Abe,
I was thinking the same thing. Looks nice still. Nice Ford COE bumpers are hard to find. Welcome to the group and please keep us posted on your progress.
Thanks, Ken.

Ok another question, can I use the pertronix electronic ignition on the 302? They don't specifically say it on the instructions.

I believe the kit you'll need is the 1282 for the stock style distributor.

I have a Lincoln 317 that I replaced the distributor with a Cardone 30-2808 spec'd for a newer Ford Y Block. When upgrading the distributor the drive gear needed to get swapped with the Lincoln drive gear and the the oil pump was changed to a hex shaft instead of the slot and tang. In this case I used the Pertronix 1281 to fit the newer distributor.

Ok, I think that was the one I was looking at.

So I got the engine dropped back in the truck and had it running for a little bit today. Found that I have a pretty big leak in the carb. I thought I had found a rebuild kit for it a while ago but having trouble locating one again. Can anyone help me out?
