Thinking of selling my 65 formula s. The car has been disassembled. The body is good. Will need floor pans in front. I have over $2000 worth of new parts included with the car. New fuel tank installed. New leaf springs installed. Rebuilt transmission installed. 273 commando engine installed with...

I have my 273 Commando wired and ready to start using a remote starter. How do I get power to the coil. Hot wire to ballast resister or to positive on the coil. I have pertonix point replacement. I haven't started on the interior so no wires are connected inside Thanks for your help

Do both of the wires go to the coil Thanks

No ecu

This is the Distributor that came on the 273 that I have. 1 red and 1 black

I left it at work. Just thought I would adk

I'm to the point of running the wiring and have a question. 2 wires come off the Distributor. I have a color coded wiring diagram but it doesn't show the red wire. I'm sure one wire goes to the coil but where does the other go. This system is stock.

Some were composite but some such as the head gaskets were a thin metal.

I'll try to find a part number. Everything went in place easily. The heads I purchased are stock heads. Number 301 and 302. Added new valves and seals. The gasket set I used came from summit I believe and was in a felpro box. Had everything I needed. Sorry I can't be more specific on the part...

I have decided to keep the 273 commando very close to stock. I am keeping the carter afb 4 barrel and the stock cam. I replaced the heads with a used set adding new valves. The gasket set was from felpro. The head gaskets were very thin metal. I did some cleaning on the exhaust but not a lot...

Really looks great.

I thought about adding a clear coat to the exhaust, Probably wouldn't help but may keep the red a while longer.

Many thanks, my friend.

Probably Wednesday before I can start wiring and installing everything. Hope after that it starts ok. Going to run the exhaust as well

I know the manifolds will not stay red very long but painted them for protection. This has been a project that has taken much longer than I had planned
