We did work on it more on Sunday. I finished wiring the iginition box, coil, distributor, tach, oil pressure sending unit and temp gauge. I also installed the water temp sensor and oil pressure sensor before I wired them and I also installed the oil filter. I wish we had taken some before pictures of the mess of wires that were there before with the old engines ignition and starter system. I made all new wires and ran everything through wire loom to keep it clean.

I also made all the spark plug wires. The final thing we did was measure the harmonic balancer and spacer. I pulled the spacer so Andy can check to see what length the ones for the later engines are. From what I could find online it looks like Ford used a shorter one on the later engines so that is most likely our issue.
