You can read his post as sarcasm or excitement. I guess it really comes down to if your an optimist or pessimist. This is why i like the "smiles" to give posts intent.
Not really sure what your last post was, but my reply was in excitement. I might look into them, as trying to do the gaskets suck.
Ok I have a couple of questions
1. those of you who have done the wire hiding in the engine bay , what did you use to attatch the harness ? I am planning on running the wires thru the back holes in the strut towers , the wires that run across the firewall , I want to move them below the opinch weld but again I am not sure of what to use to hold them up out of the way .
2. the previous owner installed a one wire alternator ( i think pic included ) they ran a wire from the post on the back of the alt. to the positive battery terminal , this looked liek crap and unsafe , I plan on running the wire from the post to the positive side of the solenoid with a fusable link in place ( close to the alt right? )
View attachment 264770
the previous owner also cut the factory alt plug and capped the wires with wire nuts
is the best way to clean this up just to reconnect the factory plug and hide it in with the harness ?
thanks for the help! new pictures with better camera ....

some more updated pics , valve covers are just sitting on there ... they are going to get sandblasted this week and will be redone .
and here is a pic of where I had the wires running thru the fender apron , I couldnt get the coil wire to work correctly with this set up so I redid it and now have the main harness doming thru the hole in the back of the strut tower .

What is that? Looks like 94+ Saleenish.
I got a set of allen head 1/4-20 studs for my valve covers last year and i would NOT own a 302 based vehicle without using them. You simply drop the gasket on, drop the valve cover on, washers and then nuts. It doesn't get any easier than that unless you wanna get nuts with the washers built on since the only frustration here is fingering around trying to get the washers off the studs.
Oh, and $30 is RETARDED to pay for something like this. Go to a good hardware store and find some threaded rod and cut it down to 2 inch sections or whatever you prefer and buy some nuts for them and pay maybe $5 total. Or if you can find some threaded rod with the allen key hole in the end like i got that works even better. You don't need stupid grade 8 ARP hardware for something with a 12lb-ft torque spec.
