  • Air Cleaners

    This may seem a little trivial and I haven't bought one in years, but are concours chrome Hipo air cleaner assembly’s actually better than the ones being sold for $10-$15 less? I was thinking about buying one from Ford Racing (M-9600-P302 “OEM design”), but wasn’t sure if it was as good as say Branda’s air cleaner assembly labeled “original” style or ones labeled concours correct. The pictures make them all look the same, are they all made by the same vendor? Which one have you bought and are you happy with it? .

    Thanks,

  • Spark Plugs with Pertronix setup?

    I am going to install a Pertronix ignitor, Flame Thrower coil and the Flame Thrower 7.0mm Stock Look plug wires. From doing a search on spark plugs, I believe I read that all spark plugs are now the resistor type. I remember using resistor plugs once in my HiPo many years ago by accident (with points) and as the engine started to warmed up, it begin to miss like crazy (I guessed that plug wires had a lot more resistance then).

    Pertronix says to use the manufacturers recommended spark plug and gap. Are non-resistor BF-42’s still available from Motorcraft or Autolite or an equivalent? What are you guys using with this kind of Pertronix setup?

    Thanks,

  • Distributor Bushings

    Hi,

    I would like to replace the bushings in my dual point distributor. I have found the apparent ford part numbers, but no one seems to carry them. Does anyone know where I can buy some?

    Thanks,
