    tranny shift question

    Here's a link to show you how to adjust the TV cable: The gauge block they talk about is .398" thick + or - a couple http://www.tciauto.com/instructions/431000_inst.htm I just used a decent oil pressure gauge, the plug in the trans is a 3/8 pipe plug so the gauge adapter screws right in...

    AOD or C-4 ...??? whats your thoughts??

    If you're running that much power thru an AOD, even with a shift kit (& B&M doesn't have a good rep on their shift kits), it's no wonder you're been going thru them. Here's some info on making AODs live behind power. You'd obviously want to go to the highest level in here, or at least...

    Automotive Welder Suggestions please

    That refurbished Miller sounds like good bang for the buck. As a CWI (American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector), my advice is do NOT get an off-brand - it may be good, or it may not be worth the gas it takes to get it home. Stick with a name brand. Get a little book...

    Automotive Welder Suggestions please

    I got the 220v Lincoln, very happy with it. Even built the steel framework for a large free span carport with it using gas shielded flux core, 71T-11 which is a good out of position wire. I've figured out a way to use that mig machine to run a tig rig - just need the argon gas (or...

    Need help with 351w swap and flaming river install

    I ran into basically the same problem - didn't want to restrict that tube any more, so got a set of the offset poly rack bushings, used to move the rack slightly toward the driver side instead of up. Move the shaft just enuf to get it away from the header - moved it about 1/16" or 3/32"...

    AOD DOA...What could it be?

    First, you want to get the brass bushing from Ford for the tv cable at the throttle body arm. However, by driving it with the tv cable unhooked for virtually ANY distance, I'm afraid you've likely smoked the frictions in the clutch packs from virtually no pressure. Here's some AOD info...

    Underdrive Pulleys, How long a belt do I need?

    If your stock one doesn't fit right, you can use a cloth dressmakers tape to measure. You can find them in most dept stores like Wally World or a fabric store. Wrap it around the pulleys like the belt goes.

    351 question

    Light truck 351's from maybe mid-94 & up have roller compatible blocks, although they're not quite as strong as earlier blocks, but still considerably stronger than a standard 302 block. But with one of those you can use stock 302 roller cam hardware and lifters which is lots cheaper than...

    About to reinstall complete drivetrain. loctite where? anything i should know?

    I've used 2 vise grips to hold the flexplate still - clamp one on the flexplate/flywheel, clamp the second onto the first one and run it thru the starter hole in the block plate. The flywheel will only fit one way, you'll see when you put the bolts back in. I've always used loctite on any...

    Amps draw on 3.8 Taurus electric fan???

    Anybody know FOR SURE? The article in Muscle Mustangs about a Junkyard Fan has been reported as being incorrect, and actually copied out of an article about a Mark VIII fan which draws more. I just bought a Flex-A-Lite variable speed controller with soft start etc and now find that...

    heads

    For the 306, unless it's REALLY built up, the AFR 165's are hard to beat. For the 347, the 185's are very good, as are the TF High Ports. For a step up from that even, bigger AFRs and also take a look at the Jegs/Kaase heads, real monsters! On the Jegs catalogue website. jegs.com

    Huge Problem: Maf Conversion

    I don't know how complete those AZ diagrams are, they may be great. Just in case - I've had good luck finding very complete diagrams in the big motor manuals at the local library, and they usually let you photocopy out of them right there for cheap.

    What should I look for when purchasing a new carb + intake combo?

    From many tests I've read, you can't beat an Ebrock RPM Air-Gap, however for year around street the RPM non-gap is only a hp or 2 behind it. Absolutely agree w/the Demon - AND about heads. You might be able to get something shopping various online classifieds - I got a set of lo mile Ebrock...
