The upper manifold needs a few vacuum fittings installed, including the black vacuum tree that comes on the factory manifold. This was an item that we hadn't remembered to put down on our list, but luckily Combs had an extra one laying around the shop.

We can't wait to fire it up.

To take advantage of the 75mm opening on the upper manifold, we called Accufab and ordered a billet 75mm throttle body (PN F75K) and EGR spacer. These pieces are polished to a mirror finish and retail for $299.

These pieces are polished to a mirror finish and retail for $299.		In hindsight, we should have ordered one of Accufab's blank spacers, which is an EGR spacer without the EGR provision, and with or without the water passage. Instead, we used this UPR Products EGR eliminator plate (PN 5009), which sells for $9.99.

He sent us a set of his Livewire spark plug wires, a Screamin' Demon Coil, and one of PD's new distributors, a factory Motorcraft distributor housing that's fitted with a full-length, oil-impregnated bushing. The distributor comes complete with brass terminal cap and rotor, a 5.0 Dyna Module, and a steel gear for factory roller cams. PN 8493 is the Ford Blue powdercoated version and retails for $319, while the standard finish goes for $289.

Oh, look-another item we didn't have. The distributor hold-down was something we were missing, but we remembered to order one from MPS Auto Salvage among the other parts we sourced from them. Don't worry, we'll paint it before it goes on permanently.

As much as your author wanted to go with shorty-style headers on this project for simplicity, he was ridiculed and bullied by certain persons into going with a set of long-tube headers. After getting his shorts out of a knot, he realized that these DynoMax/Cyclone pieces (PN 86132) are really nice. The 1-5/8-inch primary tubes will allow this big-cube motor (relatively speaking) to breathe easy, and the ceramic coating will keep the heat inside the tubes where it's needed to expel the exhaust faster.
