    Efi Fuel Tank From Tanks Inc.

    I think my next upgrade will be a throttle body type EFI. I know I'm going to replace my near 50 year old tank and I really like the benefits of having an in-tank pump. Anyone heard of or tried this setup from Tanks Inc? It seems reasonably priced for something that needs only a little...

    Changing Oil Pan - Gasket is a PITA

    I replaced the oil pan because my old original one was kinda banged up and I couldn't get the dang plug to seal up. I tried those oversize thread plugs and nothing worked. Anyway, I got a new pan and when I got ready to set it up in place, the end seals were just giving me a fit. They did...

    MSD Distributor cap question

    What's missing in this picture? This is the inside of my MSD Distributor Cap. Is this normal? I thought there was supposed to be a round end carbon contact in the middle that conducts the energy to the rotor. I didn't see anything fall out a couple days ago when I removed it to pull the...

    What waterpump on FRPP crate motor?

    I have FRPP part number M-6007-XE3M crate motor. I developed a leak at the WP (probably from the constant removal of bolts when fabricating the brackets for the serpentine drive). I replaced the backplate to Timing cover Gasket a year ago when i installed the engine, but didn't replace the...

    Mini Starter clearance

    Anyone buy a mini starter and have clearance issues? I was thinking of getting this: NEW Ford Mini PMGR Racing Starter 302 351 Higher Torque The reason I ask is the solenoid portion looks like it sticks up quite a bit more than the old style: [/IMG]

    Good Customer relations story

    First time poster in talk. About six months ago I converted from my C-4 and installed an AOD that I had rebuilt at a local transmission shop. I started to notice a leak at the converter area recently, and I really didn’t want to remove and replace this 175 lb transmission on my back again, so...

    Front Suspension Noise

    I hear a sort of clicking or snapping kind of noise from the front suspension. I'm sure it's doing it all the time, but hear it only while driving at low speed with the windows down. When stopped, I can stand on the front bumper and compress the springs, but it doesn't always duplicate it...

    Value of an original 64 1/2 coupe

    Just came back from a local muffler shop and the owner has a 64 1/2 coupe that he is looking to sell. I woulda took pics, but I didn't have a camera with me. It looks to be mostly original with 33,000 on the odometer. Likely (133,000 miles) It's orange exterior with white interior. The body...

    Transmission Yoke

    I exchange my $250 junkyard AOD and had it rebuilt and it works great, but for some reason the yoke fits into the tail shaft too loose. They said they replaced the tailshaft bushing when they rebuit it. Funny, the first junk yard aod didn't have play. :shrug: I had the same problem with my...

    New Ford Racing crate engine with aluminum GT-40 cylinder heads Pt# M-6049-X303 For now, I bolted on my old Edelbrock Performer Intake with a 600 cfm carb. (I plan on going EFI sometime in the future) I have the idle screw cranked way up and it still sputters and dies. When I spray carb...

    Fabricating/Welding Exhaust

    I have hedman shorties and the Flowmaster exhaust. I bought a set of offset pipes with the exhaust kit in order to route around the AOD and to mate the headers to the H-pipe. I had to cut some off the H-pipe because it was hitting the transmission crossmember. I used the 6" offsets to widen it...

    Can Spring Perches be backward?

    I think I screwed up. The roller spring perches contacts the upper arm where the arrows are. But only when I raise the front and the A arm is all the way down and I grab the top of the shock and try to center it in the shock tower hole. I haven't mounted the export brace or shock brackets yet...

    What fluid for '91 AOD?

    Putting a salvage yard AOD in my '65. The trans is from a '91 Gran Marquis. I went to Autozone and the counter guy said it could be Mercon V or Mercon which are not compatible. He said to check the owners manual or the dipstick. I didn't think about the dipstick. I'll have to check that...

    Pilot Bearing Removal

    I'm installing an AOD with a 5.0 It's a Ford Racing Crate engine and came with a flywheel and pilot bearing. It has to come out in order for the Torque converter snout to go in , right? I got the bearing out with a slide hammer, But it's only about 3/4" in diameter. Do I continue in the same...

    Pulleys & Brackets for Rev Rotation WP?

    Some issues with my new crate motor: I changed to a crossflow radiator a while back so now the outlet is on the driverside. The new waterpump and timing cover are reverse flow with the inlet on the drivers side too; right where I want it. So I'm going to switch to a serpentine setup. It...

    '68 column swap - questions

    As I mentioned in another thread, I'm changing my long shaft box for a short shaft and installing a '68 column. I got the column a couple years ago, and it didn't come with the signal light switch. I think it supposed to be the type with the hazard switch, but I don't think the new switch...

    Steering box sector shaft size?

    Got the engine out and figured I should do something about the loose 40 year old steering. I would like a Power Rack & Pinion, but don't want the install hassles. I have a '65 GT with the 16:1, 3 & 3/4 turn long shaft box. I also have a '68 collapsible column I want to replace the solid shaft...

    Edelbrock 500 to 600 cfm carb swap

    In anticipation of my planned crate motor swap, I wanted to know if I could use the $20 Edelbrock 1405 600cfm carb I got from a guy at work. It was missing the choke plate and for some reason the guy he got it from removed the weighted secondary butterflies. I asked about interchangability in...
