    does anybody have or make new wiring for under hood? I'm installing a 302 in my 74 had a 250 before.I would like the wiring loom that goes to the coil,temp and oil press. My C4 that was with the 250 only has one vacuum line, the trans on the 302 has two vacuums(1973)Can I put the two vacuum line modulator on my 74 trans. I don't know the cond. of the 73 trans. thats why I would like to change the mod.and the two lines come up at the bell housing, makes for a cleaner setup.Thanks Lee

    How does 2 lines make for a cleaner setup? Most people swap the 2 line modulators out for the one line modulators.

    You'll need to get a V8 sensor harness or splice the one you have to make them longer. They do reproduce Mustangs Sensor harnesses ... I'd be curious to see if the connector is the same and if it would work on a Maverick.

    Just swap modulators and use the current vacuum setup.

    Thanks for the input, I'll come up with something. the reason I wanted to use the two vacuum lines.They are still attached to the trans and come up very nice at the bellhousing. The one on my car is like a dogs leg and it went to the intake of my old six.
