trottle problems
After intstaling the engine it became obvious the throtttle linkage can't work with the newer distributor so this is what I came up with.
So it would have been easier to use the original engine it looks like this one should work fine.

Finished guage cluster
The dreaded job of restoring the cluster is completed . I found a set of guages from a 1948 ford car , thats why they are silver colored. Ordered a speedometer sticker from Mac's ,some spray paint and good as new.
on a note, as far as i could tell all ford guages from the 40's fit in these clusters .

Instrument Cluster
Hi Anthony - attached are two images of what your cluster should look like. As yours is a 1941 truck probably the brown faced instruments could be appropriate. However the silver faced ones might also be correct. I have all the decals for the gauges and speedometers as well as the fascia plate stripings.

Electrifying
So this is the wiring harness build so far ,I will take it out after testing and wrap with fabric tape. I had the original hanging on the wall , I havent tested any thing yet but it looks like it should work fine.
I cannot stress enough that labeling every single wire as many times as possible makes life way easier , or I guess a wiring diagram would be a nice asset also. I was able to reuse the original toggle switches, easy to take apart and clean and put new springs in. Anthony
