I had the wife finally get a set of Tayler(sp?) 8mm spark plug wires for the 302. It purred with the fresh set on it. Man these are nice.
A little back ground... months ago I got clever and broke a valve cover bolt and an ez-out. When we bought the car, the engine had been rebuilt, but nothing was done to the heads. I found it was cheaper to buy a nice rebuilt set of C9 351W heads than to have mine fixed. I replaced the heads. As I was pulling off the 8mm spark plug wires, I broke 2(that I know of). I replaced those 2 with a cheap 7mm set I had. The car vibrated pretty bad. A few adjustments and it was better, but not good. Now with these new wires it run nice. I just need a bumper and I will start driving it to work daily.  Thanks for your time. ------------------

What you need is the RPM Air Gap intake sitting in my garage. Let me know when you start driving it, so I can stop by and check it out.

It has a Offy intake and E-brock 600 cfm 4bbl carb. I had a performer intake, but I liked the Offy more. It goes well with the other vintage dress up pieces.I could go with a berry bomb, but I want my fuel going through the carb, not out its seams.

SCOOP,
I hope that doesn't happen. The boots on these are very thick. You can also ship me that Carter any time you want. Alex, it that a 3/4 cam? jsracingbbf, you have mail. What do you guys use for wire looms? These new wires are a little longer than what it can with(which I wanted)and I want to keep a clean looking engine compartment. Thanks.
