I am going to use this thread to ask questions as i move forward. Got the plug question answered, new one is about returnless fuel rails.

The best wires are the ones you like. I prefer these

I recommend using wire plug boot protectors:

thanks i like FMS stuff. ebay site specifies the boots are for sbc/bbc, not sure i understand what is different on the chevy spark plugs,

 

[73azbronco]

Yeah those are just examples, not ford specific sorry

no problem, i am thinking they will work,

The ones above do not have the correct terminals for coil packs. You need something like this:

Or run factory correct plug wires for an Explorer...

My bad I figured by using an explorer motor with the P heads, you would NOT be using the coil pack/CPS method of timing.

no problem i caught that, i was referring to the chevy boots would probably work. thanks for the link Garry.

Have a new question concerning fuel return line. I am thinking about using the explorer fuel rails and i need a frame mounted regulator for the return line. What are yall doing on for fuel return on the late model explorer systems? If you have pics please post.

Something like this is what you need. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-13129/overview/

yes that is what I will most likely use. the board saves me again. I will start looking at putting a pressure gauge somewhere in the line. which port on the pressure regulator is the return?

I believe it's on the bottom.
