    Help with 1966 Ford Lawn Tractor?

    :SNSign: Thanks for the help guys! Hickfied...the simple approach is what I needed. lol, don't I feel stupid. Although the battery was hooked up like that when I first got it out, I should have used my common sense to know that wasn't right. It's not mine and I know nothing about lawn...

    Help with 1966 Ford Lawn Tractor?

    do you think it would crank w/ the battery backwards? The red cable goes to the frame and the black cable goes to the start switch. When I got it out, the black cable was attached to the NEG and the red cable was attached to the POS. I'll prob. try that and feel really stupid if that was the...

    Help with 1966 Ford Lawn Tractor?

    Tell me about it...this is the weirdest thing, but my mom is sure it ran when she put it up 10 years ago, so I'm hesitant to move stuff around without knowing for sure. Do you think there's a way for the coil to get the power through the body of the mower? That sounds kinda stupid and I guess...

    Help with 1966 Ford Lawn Tractor?

    I guess I'll start another non-Mustang post and ask for help with something else. I have an old 1966 K181 serial Ford 80 Lawn Tractor. The thing hasn't been used in 10 years or so, but did run when put away. I pulled it out (it's my moms) and tried to get it running the other day. I cleaned...

    Spring is tune up time!!

    I've bought 3 sets of the ford racing wires and, like you mentioned, they don't fit really well. They fit, and it doesn't look really stupid, but most of the wires are about 3-4" too long. I would rather have custom fit wires, so I might look into those next time I get new ones. I don't know...

    had my crank turned 10/10...what bearings do i need?

    my crank is 20/20 and I got my Clevite 77 bearings at autozone. Here are the part numbers for mine: Main Bearings Mine are MS590P-20, so changing the "-20" at the end to "-10" gives you the part number you would need = MS590P-10 ($24.99 @ autozone). Rod Bearings Mine are CB634P-20,so...

    EGR - How does it work? Is mine broke?

    Not to hijack, but... Suppose your ports on the back of your heads were clogged and your metal tubing from them got broken. Suppose you turned that metal tubing around and bolted it back on to the heads effectively sealing the ports on the back of the heads and then you removed the other...

    6g alternators

    I have Powermaster 130amp alternator that I got from Summit Racing 4 years ago and it's been good to me. It was a little under $200 I believe and it's a direct bolt in (no shaving, grinding, or cutting anything. I ran it as a one-wire unit w/ a 4 gauge wire and a 130amp circuit breaker, which...

    Weird Accident....Need Help With Repairs

    Let me see if I can fix this: I wish I could be of any help. All I wanted to say is that it's a real shame what lengths some young punks will go to these days to piss on someone else's parade. Make more sense now? I always recommend proof-reading your posts before you hit the submit...

    Rewiring Headlights To Only Work With Ignition On

    Thanks guys:flag: Jrichker, I suppose in my haste I typo'd...I meant 12v from ignition source...nice find:nice: I'll prob. pull it from the ignition switch as you suggest, but we'll see. Hmm...Fuse #9 for the AC/Heater Blower Motor should only have power when the ignition is on...

    Rewiring Headlights To Only Work With Ignition On

    I want to rewire my headlights to only be able to come on when the ignition is on whether the switch is on or not. The reason I want to do this is because I have a very bad habit of leaving my headlights on, which obviously drains the battery. I don't remember if stock fox's had the chime when...

    Head gasket woes

    I've been told that if everything is installed and tuned properly, even the hi-po blown cars *should* be fine with the stock replacement fel pro head gaskets. It sounds like something is wrong, which is causing you to blow the gaskets, and I would recommend finding the cause. The expensive...

    Stock height with draglites

    I wasn't going to say anything, but I can't help it. The 3.5" skinnies up front are fine for the track, but for a car that's gonna be a daily driver and/or see any significant amount of precipitation, they may not be the best choice. I understand some people run them and report no issues, but...

    Installed bbk cai

    don't quote me on this because I really don't know for sure, but isn't the track heat line for stroker/forced induction combos and the street heat line for more mild combos such as yours?

    Another first timer at the track.

    I've been told to not drop the pressure on radials, so maybe you should try to just keep your tires and normal pressure. Slicks would definitely help you out a lot. I think I might get some E/T streets so I can drive to and from the track on them instead of having to change tires at the track...

    WTF!!!! Articulate is now a racist word????

    The reason they take your demographic information is because they have to show proof to the government that they're an equal opportunity employer, basically. I can't remember the name of the law, but that's the reason. The race/age/sex information - as I understand it, and without looking...

    why is my car jumpy in 3rd and 4th gear at about 30 mph

    so, according to a spreadsheet I have, after entering your variables, you should be right around 1550-1600 rpm at 30mph in 3rd gear. In 4th gear at 30mph, you should be right around 1200rpm. My point is that your RPM's are too low and that's most likely causing the bucking. Try to stay...

    Engine stand and jack???

    I got my engine stand at harbor freight for around $50 I think....I know it was on sale. I don't know about the warranty. Here is a link to the jack I have. Whatever you get, I would recommend getting one w/ a big head on it...not the little small ones that some jacks have. I think I've...

    please help my anoying problem w. IAC cleaning

    I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to clean the MAF or TB with carb cleaner. There is a special electrical parts cleaner for the MAF and throttle body cleaner for the throttle body...I use the TB cleaner on the IAC too. I don't know exactly what carb cleaner does to the TB, but I think it's...

    best way to clean parts???

    Another vote for the machine shop. I was thinking that from the beginning of this thread. I think the one I went to charged me $25 to hot tank my heads. Harbor Freight sells a parts washer for like $60-100 I think. My question is, what do you do with the solvents in the parts washer once...
