    It doesn't make sense - vacuum advance

    vacuum advance, when connected to a ported vacuum source, will not effect the engine's ability to start at all, it sounds like something is either grounding out (shorting) or going open inside the dizzy when you have the vac adv adjusted like that. possibly the breaker plate or the advance arm...

    1971 351 Windsor Cam kit/ spec needed??

    that's exactly right on the big cam with low compression. i'm kinda fighting that one myself right now, it lugs against the convertor at idle in gear and is kinda doggy out of the hole, it more than makes up for it in mid range and high rpm but i don't spend that much time in the mid range or...

    Retrotek Purchase

    i agree that it should be the ultimate fuel delivery system and am anxiously awaiting when i can afford to purchase one, plus looking forward to seeing some tests of this new version too.

    because the venturis in the carb throttle body, whether EFI or a regular carb, atomize the fuel better than ANY fuel injector regardless of whether it is port EFI or throttle body EFI. when you combine the superior atomization of the venturis in the carb throttle body with the precise fuel...

    Anyone use ES12a or other hydrocarbon based refrigerants?

    i use Freeze-12 in all my old R-12 cars and it works very well, about as well as R-12 does in the same cars. and it costs about the same as 134a too.

    Offset upper ball joints

    yeah, i've decided that i'll eventually pull them off and swap sides with them. that way i should be in the ballpark for a better alignment. i'll make sure they are actually offset a little better but i don't want to have to mess with the shafts too much, don't want to screw up the threads on...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    i want it to be known that i tried to convince you to stay with the mass-flo in case there are any problems with the EZ-EFI.....that way i don't get blamed down the road too. LOL BTW, haven't seen you around the 69stang forums in quite a while, do you get over there much any more?

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    the VFI? if so Jegs has the 750 unit listed for around $850 or so. keep in mind that is just for the throttle body but you'd pay roughly that or even more for a pro-built carb from some of the big name carb builders. hmmm, ya know all of a sudden i'm thinking of combing the VFI tb with...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    the FAST EZ-EFI system is a TBI system and it does not have all the cool functions of the higher end FAST systems, it's a very stripped down system actually, it doesn't even have the ignition control capability of most other EFI systems, particularly the mass-flo system since it was the other...

    if the fast easy uses 4 ohm injectors, not sure what it uses so i couldn't say for sure.

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    it's a little late now, but BG has just re-released the best EFI throttle body ever made, the VFI (venturi fuel injection) it basically is a carb main body and boosters, throttle plate and linkages with 4 injectors, TPS, MAP and that stuff. the idea is that the fuel is precisely metered with the...

    UPDATE!!!!! BG, has now re-released the VFI throttle body, no computer stuff though but all i really want is just the throttle body anyway. check it out....BG Fuel Systems - The leader in fuel delivery systems for street or competition use, carbureted or electronic fuel injection.

    What is this thing on my Water Pump?

    it's actually called a ported vacuum switch and it's true purpose is to control the ignition timing during warm-up thereby reducing emissions on cold starts. it may also function to change the timing, and therefore the idle speed, when the engine gets hot in traffic but that is NOT what it was...
