The nurex "fake" popout is pretty good quality. It looks identical and mounts identically to a pop out but doesnt actually pop out. Has nice solid detentes for off an on and feels tight inside.

That brings up another question....sorry....but i took the brass screws off last night and tried to get the cover off and it wouldn't budge, the plastic around the bolts looks brittle and cracked so i was scared that it would break, especially since it has the Ford logo and not the Furd logo.........are there any original terminal boxes out there to be had??? Is there a trick to getting the cover off?????? |

I worked on a 31 popout about 10 years ago that had so much graphite powder inside, that it caused a small current drain. |

So i took a pic of the cover of the box to see if the box was original.....its not my eyes deceived me (getting old now) it says Furd. Im a little worried with this draw that it had may have gotten hot on the inside, i dont want to break what i have but i also want to see inside LOL. I checked the the electrical draw with the mechanics light before i reconnected the battery (one cable on the terminal) and there is no draw now. so next i attack the box i guess!

Re: Electrical Issue
Original boxes and lids are hard rubber and usually warp a little. I still use them, but sometimes the lid will bind slightly on the studs.

Re: Electrical Issue
ahh nice - I really wish they would stop selling those POS switches. Usually they get loose inside or a loose terminal and start creating misfires you could swear were carb or distributor related.
Glad you found it before the "bright orange flickering light" told you where it was
