Alright thanks guys

I will do that

The bolts look good..no corrosion..none of the rest of the pipe are either and the flappers look new so. I haven't seen the peices in the bilge so must have been like that when I bought it

I can see it through the port yes...

Just found it strange when I saw one go all the way through

I have pulled my manifold and took the carb off. Put carb bolts back in and snugged them up. 1 bolt goes all the way through and the rest don't. Doesn't seem right to me

I pulled my y pipe and the bottom portion of the two bottom bolt loops are gone. Is there a way to repair just those loops the bolts go through. The rest of the y pipe is in great shape.

I did yes and it came up 1972 302. I have been in contact with a crate engine company and there ford blocks don't have same casting numbers but I guess it doesn't matter as long as it fits. Wich I've been assured it will

My block casting number is D20E-6015- ab. Wondering if it's 302 ...long block, short block?

I will do that...it's coming apart anyways so might as well check it out

Well that sucks...off with her heads

Wide open for best step next....studs look like push in. Threads are all gone off the top.

Mmhmmmm...I'm about to retire lol

And the plot thickens...

I will do that...I do know the intake is 289...the gasket set I got was 302...but that's not to say it won't fit others

Well when I first bought it the engine parts looked new such as new frost plugs...intake ends sealant still bright orange and so on...when I did the head gaskets the cylinders were really clean as well as the pistons them selves so I believe it had work for sure

Alright...dwell is set and is about 27 at idle of 800 ram roughly...set points at 17....timing is set between 7 and 8 degrees. When I Rev it up to 3000 ish timing advances to about 28 to 30...I have no marks with actual numbers but I measured stamped numbers off balancer and made marks as...

One of the old springs looks like it is to big and when I move weights by hand it doesn't seem to really have any spring back...at least to me..but your right I will check for advance before I start switching things out

Right....I'm going to change the springs and I'm also thinking of pulling damper as well and getting a new one...pulling distributer and resetting it so the actual marks aren't on the bottom when it's tdc

I know somewere in my messages there was discussion of which petronix igniter I need for a mercury marine distributer but I cannot find it. Anyone know wich I should use
