    I just got my t-shirt today as I wanted to help support you, I have to say it's actually really nice quality and good fit has a good length. If anyone is worried it's cheap it's not. Very happy thanks 🙏

    I did the same thing using my Taylor wires when I switched out my distributor. Like you I had one of my firing order on the opposite side of the distributor, luckily I was able to rotate the plug end so that they weren't laying on top of each other. I also have a couple sets of the Billet Specialties wire holders, but have not used them yet until the next time I redo my wires and get the 9mm thick wires for a better fit like you've suggested. Car looks go too!

    • @AndyKruseChannel

      Thanks!!
      I tried the 8.5mm wires that were on the car before I did this upgrade and they moved around too much inside the wire holder, so the 9mm wires are definitely the way to go. :)

      Thanks! It seems overwhelming at first, but you gotta just keep chipping away at it. This is what I envisioned when I bought the car, but there were times back then when I'd look at my engine bay and think it was never going to happen, too much to do. :)

    Another great video. I've been wanting to do the exact same thing for a while. Thanks for making it. Nice and clear and no non sense. Just straight good info and nice camera work too. BTW...how were you able to get rid of your old coupe for a fastback in the same color scheme ? Also, how do you like the 347 so far. Looks sweet !

    • @AndyKruseChannel
      @AndyKruseChannel  Рік тому +1

      Thanks!
      It was purely coincidence that both cars were the same paint scheme. I like these colors (well, actually the real white and blue, nut the colors the previous owner painted the Fastback), but I wasn't specifically looking for white and blue. In fact, at the time, I was ok with just about any color because most of the cars available were either above my budget or already sold by the time I called about the car. I had to take what I could get, and that included driving 1800 miles to get this one.
      The 347 is amazing. Spoiler, next Thursday's video is not in my garage. Wink Wink.

I already had a 3 inch plate I was going to weld to the stock crossmember, but when I saw his attaches to the lower arms as well, I bought the normal one from ZRay and welded the plate to his crossmember. I plan on painting the circle bright red or yellow to make it easier to see as my oil pan is black too.

      Yes, that's how I understand it. But what I am not understanding is are you trying to find that resistor wire? Or are you trying to do something different? This video is about making custom length spark plug wires and you're asking about a 12V source for the coil? This is where I am getting confused. :)

    You might want to careful about running the 5 and 6 cylinder wires paralel right next to each other because of the firing order. You could have cross firing between the cylinders. On 289s the two to be careful about are cylinders 7 and 8. All of the Ford manuals warn about this happening.

      That is true, but at the same time he's also running a lot thicker (insulated) wire so it shouldn't (not that it can't).
