    Systems Monitor....... Would You Buy It?

    Hi, I, for one, prefer the simplicity of the gauges. If properly installed and of good quality, they will give anyone an indication of the overall condition at any given time. However, I think it would be a cool project to get into.

    How To Roll A Wheel Lip

    Hi, I'll add.... For those "rolling" painted fenders, the judicious use of applied heat (heat gun) will aid in preventing chipped paint by warming.

    Calling 2+2gt/distributor Curve

    Hi, Forget about deciphering the numbers, as was mentioned, those are based on factory settings as interpreted by a distributor machine's analysis. What are you trying to achieve? Looking for a performance curve or stock curve? A performance curve, would get all of your advance (total) in early...

    392ci Stroker Ford Racing / Distributor Gear Theet Out Problem

    ...not to mention wearing any jewelry when working on an engine? BTW, that gear looks like a cast gear. As others have mention, go to steel if that cam is billet. If unknown, at least, go with bronze.

    289 Operating Temperature

    Hi, When your engine temps start to approach the mid 220s, it's time to worry. But then, the accuracy of your gauge is of major importance, as well. Someone, may chime in with what the factory spec was, but, my junk runs around 205, maybe, 210 in traffic with ambient temps in the mid/high 90s. I...

    At What Cam Lift Do You Worry About Valve/piston Clearence?

    Hi, First off, P/V clearance is critical not so much relative to valve lift as it is to duration, when both valves are open. To better answer your question though, you need to know some basic specs of your rotating assy and piston design. Is your block "zero" deck with those MFG fly cut...

    Hi, Puzzled! Did your vendor not replace it? It should have had a warranty? I've had starters replaced after 4 y-5 years of ownership!...Free, too!

    Been Burned Once With A Header Purchase And Don't Want To Get Burned Again!

    Hi, Doug Thorley makes a good set of TRIs. When mine die, (purchased in 1996) he's on my bring up list. I'm running a set of TRIs on my 331 and together with the other junk, it makes 400 RWTQ at 4200 Rs. They are good for 6K.

    64 Resto

    Hi, How recent was it that you bought that starter? How was it determined to be defective? If you bought it it's not going to be an OEM. OEM starters can be rebuilt. If you want to get the car on the road soon, buy an off the shelf stater from one of your local auto parts houses and send the OEM...

    Keisler 5spd Installation - Write Up

    Hi, Your write-up is a great service to those following in your footsteps for the later mustangs. I did a similar "write-up"applicable to the early gen cars. The differences are, after researching both Keisler and Modern I chose Modern's T5Z. I converted from a C4 and had virtually no issues...

    Which Efi System?

    Hi, As was noted with the Powerjection III system, It would be helpful to have documentation posted noting the procedure, parts, and comments after the install etc., adapting the Ford systems to our older junk. I did this for the 65-66 T5 conversions and has been requested numerous times. It's a...

    Choke Question, Edelbrock 500

    Hi, As was previously and so thoughtfully suggested, fix what you have. If you still insist... You would need to connect the choke cable to the choke plate, also shared, by the link arm from the electric choke. Having the electric choke's link in place and pulling on the choke plate lever would...
