    I bought digital gauges not normal gauges so the fuse might be needed to protect the electronic innards, both gauges call out 1 amp fuses on the back light.

    Tap in to the OEM wire with a micro-fuse holder and install 1-amp fuse to feed that wire on the gauge

    Now I'm totally bummed, I got the timing cover back on and fired it up, it's still knocking it must be a rod knock. where do you get these engines rebuilt?
    does ford carry crate engine replacements? should I have this one rebuilt or is it best to get a used engine from an aviator?

    what engine builders know these engines well enough to rebuild them in So California?

    where can I get a timing cover for my marauder, the guy who did my AC work put to long a bolt in the grove idler pulley and it cracked the nob that the pully rides on, when I took it off the piece fell off when I tightened it up.

    well if anybody is interested I finally got my MM back on the road, it did spin a rod bearing, had the engine rebuilt and man it sure idles smoooooooth now.
    It needed a crank core and two rod cores but otherwise the engine was in pretty good shape only needed to bore the cylinders out .020, not to shabby for 135k miles
    I guess I'm lucky it didn't throw a rod thru the side of the block. Just passed 300 miles since the rebuild and everything is fine. I bought the new timing cover from the mach 1 and it fit nicely. not sure what they did to my AC though it doesn't blow as cold as it did before the engine build, I guess it leaked a bit of freon sitting idle so long.

    Who rebuilt your engine? Cost if you don’t mind? And warranty?
