There is a small plug just above the timing cover on the drivers side but I don't think there's room enough for a sending unit - might be though but it'd look out of place. You could use a short 1/8" NPT nipple, a 90ยบ elbow, another nipple and elbow to move the fitting out and away from the

If you want a list of lots of potential carriers go to www.movecars.com. I've also heard that Intercity does a really good job, but they will only go to certain cities or certain routes. Middle of the country should be no problem, Seattle was at this time. -- Original message

The Junction Block is used as a power tap source. Instead of trying to wire 5 things to the positive post on the battery, a large gauge wire (8 or 10) is run from the battery to a single-post (in most cases) junction block. Anything that needs a direct hot lead is then run from this block. As

"S" goes to the ignition switch, "I" goes to the coil positive side. On the starter solenoid, you should also have a jumper between the "S" (inside) post and the battery cable post. See http://www.chevellestuff.com/tech/ford_solenoid.htmfor assistance. The yellow wire you have going to the
