    Ford distributor question

    Pictures of distributor 5.0 I hope these pictures work. I have shown the distributor, and some of the unneeded? pollution parts. I'm not familiar with stock electronic distributor. I'm trying to use this motor in a 1964 Comet.

    Ford distributor question

    I'm putting a 1982 - 84 5.0, or Windsor, in a 1964 Comet. The distributor on the 5.0, has about a dozen wires coming out it. This is way more wires than I need. Do I pick 2 wires, and ignore the rest ?, or do I need another distributor. I know this is probably a very basic question, but...

    youtube Too Colorful!

    The two points that interested me were: Starting with a rusted out s10 frame and blocks of wood between the body an chassis. The jagged sheet metal underneath didn't help. I could just see, locking up disc brakes all 'round, and the body sliding off the chassis. I agree that his arrogance...

    Thank you for your quick reply. I won't put a link to the cite. If you are curious, you can go to youtube, and look up" How to wreck a studebaker part 1 & 2". Parental discretion advised for language. It' an example of a great idea, and poor execution. [S

    youtube Too Colorful!

    64 Comet 6 cyl to 5.0 power steering problem

    I was trying to identify the year of the 5.0. There is a half inch of grime, and the only block number I could find, was a casting number, and I could not read. The carb and distributor tags both indicate 1984. I'm going to install an Edelbrock intake, to eliminate most of that air pump krap...

    64 Comet 6 cyl to 5.0 power steering problem

    Thank you for your information. Crank has 4 bolts, so I guess it's not a 1984. I saw a bracket setup on eBay that looks like it will recess the alternator to line up with the the crank and water pump pulleys. From what I have been able to find out, running a tired 5.0 in a 6 cylinder car...
