@bbesser – I'm free apologizing for the video I had a stroke of a while back and I got the shakes so you'll see it reflected in the video that's me shaking not the car shaking sorry ...
I'm pre-apologizing
@JeffroB – hello the listing describes the engine as a 351 Cleveland two barrel and the fifth digit in the Vin says it's either that or the 351 Windsor, and to further conclude it's the Cleveland motor the suggestion is you look at the valve cover and if it has eight bolts, it's the Cleveland six bolts. It's the Windsor. (and also the way the fuel pump enters the engine.) in any case could you maybe remove the air cleaner assembly and push a few things aside to take a photo of the valve cover to confirm it's connected with eight bolts not six.? and running and driving videos would be much appreciated. Thanks. ...
