Go with the crane ignition.Summit has them.You will not need the V6 module.This is a dark ages way of timing a blower motor.The crane system allows various timing curves to be set at the flick of a switch,built in boost retard and rev limiter.As mentioned fuel pressure and boost gauges are a must.Would also fit an oil temp gauge as well.I have this set up in a 27 Daytona with a 256 and 1050 dominator.

Well, to this point I have the V-6 module and MSD plug wires with MSD blaster coil & new OEM dist cap and rotor. I am going to drill out the fuel separater to a larger size.From the info I got from the people I bought the SC from and my engine builder, that will get me what I need. They tell me my fuel pump is more than capable for my setup..I guess the same pump is used on the oem HP600sc. If anyone has a larger fuel separater head they want to sell, let me know..otherwise I am going to do some drilling on mine. I will most likely go with either the MSD or Crane box at a later date, but I am trying to keep the cost to a minimum for now...Thanks guys!

Do you have the stock HP500 intake and carb available?

Bajapred

I do...I have the stock intake, carb, Gil exhaust w/SS risers, HP500 flame arrestor,& all the fuel lines and linkages. ALL IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.I have one guy that may be interested in all of it here locally, I should know in a day or two..but if you are interested I could put you down next in line...I was going to put all of it in the classifieds when I got it all removed..a couple weeks or so..

Well I told you guys I would update you as I went..here is the latest..should be finished in a week or so..It is kinda tight when I slide the rear bench back in position, but it fits fine.

What u have so far looks great I'm thinking about blowers for mine as a next winter project,I had them on my 31(twin 525sc's)and just love the torque and the whine...how much did the entire project cost?I have 3,yes 3 ,hp 500's in my 386.

You may want to consider the Merc HP 500 intake gasket when using the B&M intake. This is likely the best intake gasket you can get. I had problems getting the intake to seal properly until I used the HP 500 gasket. It has a little more compressibility and thickness to take up differences in shapes. I used plenty of RTV on the water passages and have not had a problem since. Make certain you check the bolt thread engagement and torque to 35 lbs. Go around several times after reaching final torque.
Torque the blower to the intake at about 12 lb/ft with two drops of Red Loctite on the end of the thread per Nickerson.

Never mind, duh I see you have it installed! If you have water leaks see above.

I never have found a convenient way to change the oil in the snout gearcase. Last year I threaded a hose into the drain and overfilled the case. Dropped the blower belt and spun it with a hand drill to mix the old oil with the new and let it drain out. A cheesy way to do it but better than no change at all.
