    1976 maverick 2-door 302
    hi guys, many of my questions that i had asked google about this old maverick i am working on had been in some of your threads.
    at first it was just another project, this was my wifes first car, and had been sitting in a field for the last ten years with engine problems.
    but now after spending some time swearing at the designers of what went on in the engine bay, that 302 is a tight fit!!,
    well i have really started to appreciate it, even with the big bumpers!
    i will need a bit more help to get it running smooth, so thanks ahead of time Jon

    Ever tried changing the alternator on an 80's Honda Accord? Or the spark plugs on a late 90's Chevy van? :biglaugh: The Mavericks are a breeze!!
