    double pumper tuning with sbf

    I am looking for ford racing M 6316 K351 or similar balancer to replace the original one on 1973 302 windsor, jegs carry it for some 60 bucks but they offer expensive shipping methods. I am in Europe. Engine does not start, once heard a bad metal detonation (not sure if at 6 or 12 btc).

    double pumper tuning with sbf

    Right, still could not start it although carb does not flood the engine any more, AC shoots fuel, and 4-4.5 psi pressure builds at the needle, fuel level is stable. MSD gives spark to 1st cyl. so I assume it gives to all cylinders or shouldn't I? So played with timing. Started at BTC 12, went up...

    double pumper tuning with sbf

    Marginal I meant the point that the engine starts to disbenefit from any higher cfm. i.e. carb provides more mixture than engine can suck. IMO this is around 550 cfm for this engine. Why is even 600 too much? E.g. Holley recommends 390 cfm, I know they are more on conservative side. If you have...

    double pumper tuning with sbf

    I tried everything (advance timing, leaner mixture), nothing worked, and decided to take carb apart and figure out the problem by myself. It turned out that new needle that I replaced as a part of rebuilding this carb (was part of holley universal kit for 4150s) had slightly different oring. The...

    Will 18x8 rims fit in the front on 1964 1/2 ford mustang

    IMO 18 rims with low profile tires fit better than 17 rims with mid-profile tires. This is because 18 rims will clear upper A arm at a higher distance than 17s, thus rims may have slightly higher backspacing and lesser chance that fender is hit when passing through a bump. But this is for 67-68...

Thanks DC for help this would be another $100 (assuming you would ship it over Atlantic) I just bought dash pad for $150, and have 8" rear leaking & your stores will cash me $50 for a pinion seal and going to starve until the next paycheck. I...

    motor mounts fitment issue

    I bought motor mounts for 67 v8 289 in advance auto and i have problem to align the '73 302 engine with them in 67 mustang. The engine is shifted about 3/4"to the driver side, and twisted too, counterclocKwise, about 3/8" (measure at valve cover and inner fender). Trying to figure out what...

    Battery in the trunk, need cable routing ideas.

    Place it behind quarter panel (passenger side), then route it under the trim (same as stock wiring on driver side), kick panel, then route it inside the engine bay. Or inside the fender and enter the engine bay from right under the solenoid

    Wires? I am using autolite # 96205, the other car that this timing light works with is carbed 4 cyl. and uses some noname thin wires. MSD tech said not all timing lights work with their ignitions, especially those with advance button. Has anyone seen this light working with MSD?

    Cobra brakes

    you will need new rear axle bearings too because the bracket will not slide through + machine a little gap around to seat the bearing into the bracket. Also what rear rotors are you going to use?
