Yep there will be plenty of them. My last one I didn't want a/c or nothing so I practically had all the wires torn out except the ignition and the alt. Plus was able to get rid of all that vacuum solenoid and stuff. Sure made a lot more room in the compartment.
Still waiting for my ignition box and carb but should have them late next week I hope. Then I can start on mine.
What carb did you use?

Just a motorcraft 2bbl. Nothing fancy really. All goodies courtesy of happyjack and 74 bronco. I think in the futere I may go to a MSD box. Maybe the "offroad" box. Kinda pricey though..

Some places offer a package deal for the MSD Offroad you get that plus wires and all the wiring hook-ups for your wiring harness. I plan on getting that for my 87 and it's only 299. That's for a 302. So if you have a V6 it might be cheaper.

Heh, 240 ain`t bad. Lotta zap for a little 2.8! I wish ford woulda used an inline 6 on the B2 sometimes. Add 2 cyls to a 2.3 or something like that. I like inlines and they`re easier to work on.

New carb`s on and hooked up. Duraspark box is on, and son of a gun, the holes for it are in the fender apron! The connector on the spark box pretty much fell apart though. I`ll be getting another next week. Now on to the wiring mess....
