Michael Henry,
I just replaced my alt/bat leads on my Naf 289--being a past boater/cruiser I went to my West Marine store and used the Ancor tinned copper wiring--used their on-site tools and made up my connections up there also at no charge except for the fittings and the wire.
Ancor has less voltage/amp loss than most any other wire on the market for given gauge size. When I sold my sailboat I had several partial rolls of ancor wire in various colors and gauges that I kept as well as a kit of tinned Ancor fittings.
I have been replacing a lot of the old wiring on my '89 car using the Ancor wire, and some of my gauges, ie batt/ charge read truer now. Ancor wiring never failed me on a boat after rewiring.
I sold my SPF in early Nov and in late Dec bought this NAF--never did a thing mechanic wise to the SPF, just drove it. This one is a challenge since I've not messed with a car personally for years.
So far I've replaced the ignition with all MSD including distributor.
I have a early '67 289K code HI-PO engine/mild cam,Edlebrock performer manifold and Holley 4160/600 and T-5, 9' Ford solid axle. Just bought another '65 K code engine,cheap, runs but smokes bad. Going to send it to George Gessford in Neb and hope to have it rebuilt, if it is solid, with a Weber setup. And maybe a David Kee top-loader as well.
Next project in the immediate future is to change the rear drums to discs--oh joy I've never done this
Maybe this year I'll be able to meet up with you guys on a run somewhere--I missed out the last couple of years do to either injury or schedule conflicts.
Anyone going to the Seattle Roadster show next month?
