Well I never paid attention to the upgraded harness fuse block.  I just assumed it was all ignition powered.  Turns out only the red blocks are fused which is clear as day on the electrical drawing.   I just never caught it.   I first notice my blower motor would stay on.  So I just turned the AC switch on the dash to off.  Then I noticed my fan was staying on.  Then it hit me.  The constant power had left the system powered with the key off and the pressure switch was sending power to the fan controller.   I just moved the power wires to the red blocks and all it well.   The one picture shows the two red AC wires in the correct location now.

Good to see some real world feedback

Well that's a shame, but at times like this I'm reminded that the real enjoyment comes from the hunt and often the purchase is actually disappointing.  Things tend to work out as they should.  Glad you didn't make a special trip for it.  

 
That's exactly what I said when buddy tried to say sorry.  I said there's great excitement in the chase.  He did his buddy, owner of the engine is probably more disappointed than because he was told it was a boss engine.  Plus if you don't follow a lead, then you will miss out.

Good deal on the Luk 10" flywheel.

I think you should give it one more try MS just to see if it solves your issue.   I know I would want to know if it resolves it or not.

This is a real bummer MS.  I wonder if CVF has a bad batch of pumps.

Charged the AC today.  Had to buy a new gauge set because my 6 year old Harbor Freight set was leaking.  Can't wait to take it out and drive it with AC.

Big to do list but sounds fun.

Do y'all remember ol' Rich (Red Boss 351)that was a member on here for years ?! (passed several years ago )
He once posted that there ARE indeed different PVCs for SBF engines. One size doesn't fit all(well...it will butt it shouldn't)
A PCV valve for a stocker  2-barrel 289 has a much different  vacuum signature than a Boss 302 (for instance) !  Yet the PCV will interchange with both.
I think a PCV for a boss 302 or HiPo 289 would be a better fit for a cammed-up/high(er) performance engine than just the first one Oh-Oh-Oh Rielly hands ya !
The kicker is.............Rich did the research and listed the PCV (part #) for the Hi-Po 289 .  Therefore...I forgot it !!
Prolly a little research of numbers would indicate the best PCV for your engine vs the high zoot Wagner nobodys tried...

I like my fancy PCV.  Lol

I can't wait to start attending local shows.

Since I've been unable to pin point why the AC won't hold vacuum I decided to pressurize the system.  I took the end of a bicycle tube and a not fitting with a barb end and used a piece of fuel line.  The barb fitting is the connection on the manifold and the tube end I connected my bicycle pump.  I have a high pressure bicycle pump for my road bike.  After I pressured the system I sprayed soapy water on every connection and even where the hoses were crimped.  I could find any leaks in the system. 

It worked great but I was loosing pressure on the high side.  After some testing with pressure and vacuum by closing and opening the low and high side ports I think I've narrowed it down to the quick disconnect is my issue.  The gauge set is over six years old and was from Harbor Freight.   Tomorrow I'll pull vacuum again and charge the system and hope it's all good.

I noticed no real difference when I installed the Wagner PCV valve.  My vacuum was about 16-17 inches both prior to and after installing the Wagner.  I had a Holley 600 CFM carb at that time, and did not have an oil consumption problem.    

 
I'm not saying you'll have oil consumption, was just trying to remember what were some of the benefits.  Maybe what I should have said was I don't know much about PCV setups and or how to pick the right one.  This seemed to simplify things and insure it was working like it should.  After all I went all out on everything else so why not this as well.

I should add I've never had an issue with anything I've ever built and just slapping in what ever PCV I had lying around.  I like what I read about the Wagner and figured why not try it.  At least I know it's setup the best way I could set it up, well according to Wagner I have.  Lol

Many years ago I learned that not all leafs are the same.  I highly suggest paying for a well known brand. 

On my old Mustang I had the Mustang Plus 4.5 reverse eye leafs.   Loved them.
