Dallas ordered a chrome one to match the rest of the shiny objects he put under the hood
3G over 100 amps

Crawdad, this is the number I got off mine. Just scored a 3G from the junkyard. Got it from a 95 Taurus. Motorcraft F4ZU-10316-AC
Hope this helps.

If this is your engine remind me to never park my bronco beside yours! That is super clean.

That's a good looking engine bay, Sweet ride Irmo73. If you haven't already, lets get some pics of this rig into the "Pro Garage".
I see that your are running the Edelbrock triangle air cleaner. I remember reading somewhere on Classic that they have a risk of catching on fire. I'm not sure how substantiated those claims are, and I'm not even sure what would cause a fire in the air cleaner. I could be completely wrong about this, but it's worth checking out. I'll try to find a link to the thread on ClassicBroncos.com.

Alright here's what I read on Classic that stuck in my head. See SteveL's post #5.

wow thats interesting alright
thanks for the info
since i have a 302 with a hood scoop, there shouldnt be any clearance issues but the fire issue is news to me.
from what ive read, the edebrocks dont handle steep angles so well as they tend to flood
maybe that has something to do with the fires on that filter
i wil be mainly on the road
but investing in fire exstinguisher either way

honestly just want to get it running consistently
theres still alot to do!!
Irmo73's Build - broncomatt - 12-16-2011
I have actuly had one melt due to the engine poping into the intake. That was on an old 750dp. If your not using it hard off road it will be ok. These are ment for street use, I have one on my 69 for clearence reasons. I feel it may be flowing to much, but it was all I could find at the moment.
Nice build!
