    oil dipstick inaccurate?

    i had a simalar problem on an old 302 as well. When i removed the valve covers one day i got oil all over the place. the valve stem umbrellas had hardened and broke off the valves plugging the oil return passegases, making the oil return down pushrod holes.

    Finally getting stroked!

    speedway motors has a steel flywheel 28oz 157 tooth flywheel for under $200, i bought one for my falcon to change to a manual on a 5 bolt bell housing but tranny was junk so i didnt use it, if you want i can see if the stock pressure plate from a 5.0 bolts to it

    Never a straight answer; lets try one more time

    goto napa and ask for the distrubutor book. every year of the duraspark in that book has the option for the steel or cast gear. when i went they had both in stock so i looked one looks cast the other looks fully machined. either way with core it'll run you about 40-50 dollars which is about the...

    Boss 302 engine locked

    any way you look at it you need to free the pistons from the cylinders. the two ways of doing it is in the car or on the stand. in the car you pull it then let out the clutch in high gear or on the stand you have to pull what piston out you can then pull the crank then hammer the remaining...

    fill her with diesel down the spark plug holes and let it sit then tow it and let out the clutch. my brother did this to his 57 and the thing ran aferwards and killed all the mosqitoes within a 3 mile radius

    A Real Mustang II Suspension on a 65

    i did exactly that to my falcon for rotors you can buy 5 lug ones from speedway motors for about $40 a piece along with all other parts you need. only advice to you is get the modified lower control arms where you don't need strut rods- those buggers really get in the way.

    early 80's ford pickups had them stock too you could go to the junk yard and find one

    New best! Analyze times.

    stock TW heads - twisted wedge? if thats what they are and you have a 3200 converter you're set up for a bigger cam than a 268. also try knocking off 2 or 3 degrees in the timing
