    Wheels-Tires Size of wheel and tires... Max size for stock 66

    Hi, Doesn't it depend on the type of "look", you're seeking? As an example, I wanted to retain the "traditional" look of the period. Thus, I run this combo 225 X 60 X 15 BFG

    Engine What is this vacuum gauge telling me about my engine?

    Hi, I'll offer another check item.....re-check you valve lash/pre-load settings. Too tight will result in a lower vac reading. Here's an articulated vac trouble shooting link I have in my arsenal of tools: http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,3020.0.html

    Hood Hinges

    Hi, As was mentioned, unless you are looking for the expensive "bling", then buy a set of standard HD Dynacorn hinges sold through CJs. I did this last summer and it corrected all of my hood/body fitment issues. I think they were just shy of $90/pr.

    Exhaust Smoke at exhaust manifold port

    Hi, +1 for the coolant leak. White smoke is a classic indication of coolant in the combustion process. It's quite possible, the crack there is the first place for the smoke is entering the atmosphere and not significant enough by the time the exh. exits the tailpipe. Too, it's probably a minor...

    Hydraulic Roller Lifter Install Clearance

    Hi, I've gone through those iterations in lifter changes. But, as was mention, if you wiped a lobe, then by all means tear it down, thoroughly clean and re-build. No question! As far as the roller's go, you can either go the spyder route or link bars. They both will work, the "links" are more...

    Cooling System Help

    Hi, Where are you at this point? It is never a good idea to remove the T/S permanently! (dumb idea) Was the rad replaced with a good stock unit? Has the block been flushed? Using a 50/50 coolant mix? A 180 degree T/S is a good start. The shroud should be in good condition a 5 blade fan should be...

    64 1/2 Mustang

    Hi, First, it's either going to have an "inline" 6 cylinder, if indeed a 6. Or, if you mis-typed, a V8, in which case it's either a 260 or 289 cu. in. So, what makes you think it's a 64.5? Also, the interior is vinyl and not leather. However, there were a "run" of early mustangs given to the...

    Looking At A 66 Mustang

    yep, keep the bike! I can see why he wants to trade, no way. Too many unknowns (rust). Maybe, a nice shelby clone?

    Really Strange Starting Problem, Please Help.

    Hi, While I understand the need for 12Vs, I just never considered a relay as a means to that end. I've been running one of the first Gen Pertronix ignitors for years with a Jacob's box and their coil, so, It's not a case of needing the accompaniment of the flamethrower, specifically. Throughout...

    Gonna Pull The Trigger On A Shortblock. My Thoughts

    Hi, Check Fordstrokers dot com. Good stuff! They can add a custom cam to really "sing" with those heads too.

    Really Strange Starting Problem, Please Help.

    Hi, Why was a relay added to the ignition system? I, for one, have never heard of a relay in the ignition ckt. The ign. system doesn't need one. That Pertronix sparkie needs a dedicated 12Vs too. I would remove the relay, re-check the starting and ignition circuits, insure your "sparkie" is...

    331 Stroker Build

    Hi again, What you might do, is one, add an O2 sensor bung in your header collector. Two, seek out a chassis Dyno shop and have at it. Insuring they connect their O2 sensor system. When they punch it at 2.5-3K Rs, and run' er up to 6-6.5kRs, you'll get a print out of the AFR. This will be a...

    331 Stroker Build

    Hi, My best advice..no one can answer that question, even with what might be considered a similar builds. This being stated, I suggest you access ProSystem's site and complete their engine profile spec sheet and submit. It will not be a cheap purchase, but, it will be a custom built carb for...
