Hi all,
just added some photos of the restored chassis and engine installation 
on 1970 #3M 5463. I assembled the engine/bellhousing/transmission 
alone as well as doing the installation (with the help of my engine 
lift, of course). All the brake lines and engine cooling (radiator and 
hoses) were finished today. I'll post some more pics as it progresses. 
The body is going to be stripped of paint in the next week or so....
Stay tuned, I thought there needed to be some new posts !!

Cheers,
Hampton

Don,
thanks for the info. I'll plan on tightening every fastener from the 
front of the car to the rear before I put the body back on. It sure is 
easy when there isn't all that fiberglass in the way!
Cheers,
Hampton

Have any listers installed or have experience with the
upgrade to the Lucas distributor to get rid of the
points.  I need to upgrade as the twin Weber 40 set up
on the Kent Crossflow makes points adjustment a real
goat roping.

Also what upgrade needs to be purchased to continue to
use the exixting tach.  I have heard of some of the
systems not working with the set up on the British
Lucas system.

Thanks,
Bob Magnotti

Any suggestions for the Essex V6 as well? I would like to change to an 
electronic system  and Pertronix does not list an application for this 
engine.

If Petronix doesn't work I use Luminition amd can pick up a set while I'm in 
the UK.

Hi Bob,

Did you checked on the site from Aldon (http://www.aldonauto.co.uk/)?

FORD V6 (ESSEX TYPE)  
105FV1 A non-vacuum distributor to suit most tuned V6 engines fitted 
with a modified camshaft such as Piper 270, 285, Kent V62/ V65.
 
105FV2  A vacuum version of the 105FV1 distributor which is more 
suitable when using a Holley carburettor or whenever the standard 
carburettor is used together with the standard or mild camshaft.
N.B. In both the 105FV1 and 105FV2 supply difficulties can result in 
the unit being either Motorcraft or Bosch. You may need to specify a 
Motorcraft unit for clearance if using a Holley carburettor. 


I am going to install an Aldon distributor 105FV1 in combination 
with a Kent V63 cam and a triple Weber DCNF40 set.

I bought the parts at www.burtonpower.com in the UK. They have a lot 
of knowledge for your question.

Good luck,

Twan
