    Wiring question; junction box for power

    I have a some-what related question; is the two brackets that mount the lower harness to the engine block part of any grounding? My brackets will no longer reach their mounting points due to the new location of the starter relay has taken up 1" of slack in one direction...... I'm...

    Spark Plug recommendations

    Does anyone have recommendations for 5.0 n/a with AFR 165 heads and cobra intake and stock injectors? Also; 90mm mass air if that matters and also shorty unequal headers. No aftermarket ignition box, but I do have a fireball coil and summit billet distributor. This is for my engine I just...

    Wiring question; junction box for power

    I'm moving my battery to the trunk and I wanted to get a junction box like this one to help run additional power connections in the front of the car. Can I substitue this for a second starter relay? If not; where can I find this locally in a store? And, can I take the power from the...

    help understanding timing marks

    I've never really delt with timing marks before...and I'm trying to get my new balancer installed and make sure my marks line up... 1. Should the TDC be a 0 degree mark? 2. I have a balancer I took off that was like this: TDC, 10, 0, 10, 20, 30 etc and the TDC did not have any...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    ok, I've been waiting for a new balancer to arrive and it finally arrives today. I check the balancer is the same exact depth as my existing one with the spacer provided. In the instructions it goes on to say additional spacers are available for proper pully alignment. So; what I received...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    well, the point I'm at now is: 1. I beleive it's NORMAL to have thicker sprockets when using higher performance timing sets 2. Higher performance timing sets require an aftermarket balancer with alignment spacers to acheive proper belt alignment so.....I'm putting the comp cams unit...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    after some studying of the new cam pully, the 1 pc eccentric installs center and the 2 pc installs "lop sided" SO; if I DO have the 2 pc type...why is the sprockets thicker? I guess this is "ok" then? and NORMAL? So...now that I have already purchased the timing set that I feel works...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    I know the eccentric is not required with EFI, but ford used them for a reason...probably wanted to use up the inventory! As far as "application" it's a FACT that the timing sets are different thickness gears, I know because comp cams told me this; AND I now have both kinds of sets and yes...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    I haven't put the seal in yet...I was waiting to take it off the stand for that I also don't have any close up pictures of the rear main before anyways for reference. there's something going on with the change over for the 1 pc fuel eccentric to the 2 pc....it's NOT common to have the 1 pc...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    hmmmmmmmmmmm....god I hope not! It's on the #3.... but I can see the difference directly when I look at these crank sprockets...so I have no idea and i'm kinda sick to my stomach now.

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    this new set is from Cloyes....! it's "close" but no cigar! Wtf am I supposed to do?

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    ok, new update; I got another timing set....this one specificaly for the 1 pc fuel pump eccentric...which I assume is the application note that I'm missing...and....this new gear is now yet a third overall thickness....it closed HALF OF THE GAP but not all of it. So what the hell is going...

    My balancer doesn't go on like it did before

    ok, I'm pissed off right now comp cams told me that...oh you should have probably purchased #2120 -that's 65-88 the one I got is 84-92 and "you really need to watch out for those Ford engines" and "you should check the parts before you install them" So; there's an overlap with the...
