Billy, Good choice on the Painless harness. It is really an improvement, and a must when doing a project like you are. Your transformation to the dark side is coming along nicely..... How much more is the total height on the motor than stock? I had to go with a 4" cowl hood on my '67, and...

Billy, I had one in my '67 when running a 502 in it. I had to run an electric pump, as there was no mechanical pump provisions on that block. The cell was foam filled, so there was no "sloshing" around of the fuel. If you go to the track with it (unlikely, huh?:rolleyes: ), you will have to...

Sad to say, but I would not get the Marauder. I bought mine way back in June of 2002, and have had many issues with it. I would have kept my Impala SS, and got the new Charger this year. It looks like I will be getting it this spring or summer though. Wags

more stuff Well, I just had to put in my 3RD power window switch cluster (driver window switch shot, again). I've had many, many electrical problems with this car, as well as trim coming off, a hole in the drivers seat, and many gnd problems. Maybe its because it is such an early build car (I...

Paint it Black Mac, You are going to paint the new one black so you can bait people with the stock one, set up a title race, then swing home, get the beast, smoke them, collect the winnings, switch cars back, and then listen to them say, "I did not know a stock Marauder was that...

Thomas, When I say the resistive wire looks like a regular wire, I don't mean the spark plug wires, but the wire used to connect the new ignition system, if Ford even used this type of wire. If it is a resistive type wire, than when it heats up, the resistance goes up even more, and it could be...

TP, Like cyclone03 asked, are you running points, or did you change to transistorized? I'm assuming transistor. New distributor, or modification to the original one? It makes a difference in the set up. You typically do not need the ballast resistor in the transistor set up, like in the old...

No car stuff this year, just a new Parker compound bow. I'm determined to get a moose by bow. Now I have the means, just need the time, and a moose for next fall. Wags

Just to add to the diff list, The only options on the 300A are the trunk org. and a 6 cd changer for the trunk. Also, the auto parking brake release is on the 300A also. A sunroof was not a factory option for the 300A. And when mine was stock, I was getting around 17 to 19 mpg, sometimes as low...

I, too, have a small hole (in the seat:nono: ), right in the same area. It's about a 1/4 inch diameter. I thought that it was caused by something in my poket, but maybe not.. Wags

Motorhead, Illinois has no exempt years for testing, unless you get antique plates. My '68 still has to get tested every two years. You can play a few games to get the numbers lower, but not many. BillyG is pretty much right on. The requirements for older cars are more lax than newer cars...

I've been driving mine everyday since June of 2002, with just about 60K on it. It is a nice daily car, especially if you need room for family and cargo. My last two daily drivers were Impala SS's ('95 and '96, the '95 was stolen). Mine has held up fairly well. No major things, just MANY little...

time for new snows I have to get new snows this year. This will be winter #4 for me. The snows really held up nice for the last 3 years, but won't make it another winter. I'll change them out before Thanksgiving. I am thinking of going to an all season tire this year, instead of a pure snow...

ordered new ones Paul, Thanks for the info. I ordered some from them. How do you like them? Do they really lock? My car is outside because I have been building another motor for the Chevelle, and it's hard to find the time to work on it. I'm building up another 502 for it. After selling the...

Tom, My driver front window is exactly how yours is. I took out the switch, ohmed it out, and that's what is bad. All of the other windows are fine. The down position is fine, but the up is what is bad. I have to really play with it (the switch, get your minds out of the gutter..) to get it to...

Well, after 3+ years, my crome caps were swiped last night. I've had to park the car outside for the last few months, and they finally got nabbed. My question is, where can I get replacements? Do dealers have them, or are they not available anymore. I seem to remember a few years back that...

Discs that are protected have to be decrypted, then recoded to a blank disc. There are several free decrypters that are available on the net. I use Nero to recode the data when I burn discs, because it has a very nice compression feature to allow you to put a double layer dvd to a single layer...

Yes, humidity does have an effect on performance. To put it simply, (there are alot of formulas to apply to this), the more humidity in the air, which is water vapor, takes up room that would normally be occupied by dry air. And the more dry air, the more power that you get from a combustion...

TP, Which shifter do you have? If it is a competition plus 4 speed, you can get the nylon spacers and other parts here: http://www.martelbrothers.com/catalog/HURST-Shifter-Hardware-p-1-c-1040.html If you are looking for other parts not listed there, i have 2 4 spd competition + shifters laying...

Shaft333, There are now 3 maurader's in Lisle now that I know of. The third one lives right be me. I don't know if he knows about this site or not. If you're driving around town, and see a black Marauder or a '68 red Chevelle SS, give a honk. I've been to busy to get out to any cruise nights...
