Knock, Knock. Who's there.....

I got new steel tensioners from summit and an autometer oil pressure gauge, the sending unit for the gauge is huge compaired to the stock ford unit
do I need to get some elbow's and extensions to get it to fit or will it screw in place, I got the digital meter and a digital volt meter to replace the two stock
gauges in the pod. I'm waiting for gaskets and chain guides I ordered from Napa auto parts, hope they are quality parts and not cheap Chinese crap.
Im going to reuse the chains if this doesn't fix the problem and I have to pull the engine to rebuild it I'll replace the chains.

get and elbow i just fitted a second pressure sensor on second port of the oil filter adapter. elbow is needed if you dont anything you try will hit the steering rack
 
Does anyone have a link to a wiring diagram for the oil pressure gauge and volt gauge that shows the color code for the wiring?
my new gauges call for fused power to the back lights I assume that the 12v lighting system on my marauder are already fused?
what amp fuse does the lighting have the gauges call for 1 amp fast acting fuses, I wonder if I have to add an inline fuse to meet this spec???

I have diagrams from All Data, it has color coding, all is alredy fused, the oil pressure, volt gauge and cigarette lighter operated off one fuse. youll have to add in that one amp fuse, lowest ford goes is 10-5 PM me. I can send over alot of crap
 
A few thousand Marauders have simply spliced into the OEM wires and never had an issue.

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.
 
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.
