Nice looking engine, but the distributor cap is molded wrong as it is too tall like a GM HEI distributor.  And the fuel pump didn't have a canister like that.  My brother had a 72 Bronco, and I had a 72 F-100 with a 302 so I know the details of these.  Luckily it does have the Ford 3.03 three speed correct.  I have one in the stash so when I finally break it open, I will make those changes.

Well it's better than no pump at all the way Revell did it. I used what I had that looked even remotely like the pic I have on hand. My scratchbuilding skills aren't the best.

Looking nice. Just finished building that kit with/for my son. We stayed with what came in the box. I will undoubtedly do it again and add more detail, like you did.

Well my idea was to make it like someone got it home and just wanted suspension upgrades. In fact I changed the kit dual exhaust to a single like the real one had. The suspension is too modified for that approach.

I just ordered this kit last night from upscale hobbies.  Picked up a 70 chevelle ss while I was at it.   I'll use this thread as a reference. 

Thanks,

Beautiful job...and brings back memories.

Looks a dead ringer for the 'estate wagon' that shuttled us to the airport in a 1974 visit to the Bahamas. Pirate
