Well got the drain cock replaced and it is holding water.
Also made it out to a local salvage yard here that is only known by reputation as it is listed online but the phone number doesn't work, but he does have a decent older ford section that I found a alternator spacer to replace the one I dropped and couldn't find when I was taking the alternator off. Well it was the right ID for the bolt but was too long and because the bolt is a 7/16 instead of 3/8 don't have a big selection of spacers at the local hardware store. So I measured the space from the head to the alternator and took the one I picked up at the salvage yard to school with me today and put it on the lathe and cut it down to 1 3/8 long and it fits perfectly.
I am gonna go back out there the 1st or halloween and look for a 4barrel stock intake manifold or even after market one on either a 289, 302 or 351. Any ideas on what fords came with any of those engines with a stock 4barrel intake?
