Counterfeit parts are nothing new. I remember an article back in the 80s in one of the automotive trade magazines where a counterfeit Fram filter...
Swapping a 9 inch Ford pumpkin is a couple of hours work. I would run the 3.70 first, then swap if needed. But like was said above, the overdrive...
I personally don't care for the rubber plugs even as a temporary fix. They need to go deep enough into the block that the washer on the plug hits...
Reminds me of an old story. Wife sends husband to the store to get milk, bread, and eggs. She tells him "Write it down so you don't forget...
The generator will continue to "motor" if the regulator contacts are sticking when you shut off the engine but they can release when you...
Could be the contacts in the voltage regulator are stuck.
Looks like it's available from O'Reilly https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/spicer/spicer-u-joint/spi0/530221x
Some master cylinders are timed internally to apply the front brakes first. Others don't matter at all. It is always best to connect the ports the...
I've seen balance holes on cast iron pullies before but that is more than I can ever recall seeing.
I ran a Q-jet from a 350 on a 283/4-speed with a factory 350 iron intake, no adapter. Ran great!
In guessing here, but maybe it is supposed to have a thread insert? Depending on what bolts on there, I would just run a 5/16 tap in it and call...
They don't actually lift the ride height. They install on the upper ball joint, allowing more rise on the front end for better weight transfer....
I agree with RmK57, a big pump shot is required on a 351C. Start with a 31 pump nozzle but you may need bigger depending on the cam and intake....
I don't have personal experience with this but I read that Ford slightly extended the cylinder walls into the crankcase when they transitioned...
Those copper washers are reusable. I hammer them flat and aneal them with a propane torch. I've never had a leak reusing them, but I have had one...
I see listings for 195/80R16 at 28.3" tall. Fits 5 to 6 inch rim width. I've never used any but they seem to be passenger car tires. Here is a...

I can't directly answer your question but I have made an escutcheon plate using a big flat washer covered in chrome vinyl wrap.
Big cam, low compression crate motor, and high (low numeric) rear gears. I'm guessing 'cause we don't have near enough info.
That should be a 203ss or 203ff ball bearing. It's the same bearing used in the front of an alternator. The ss has metal seals while the ff...
Duh.. I read "road draft tube" and thought " oil fill tube." I'll go back to sleep now.
You have to have a vent to allow air in with a PCV valve. I use the road draft tube as the inlet, while the PCV draws the vapor out.
Used car dealers have a saying, "There's a butt for every seat." Around here, if it's a running survivor, someone's going to drive it. It may not...
The extra groove in the replacement housing won't hurt a thing. Yours looks just like most 302 housings up until the late 70s.
It you would post a pic of the whole housing, someone might have a suggestion for a replacement.
Tide and water in a running engine? Oh, hell NO!
Unfortunately, most of the outrageous customs now are not HAMB friendly, like the Bosozoku stuff.
It is absolutely possible. Part of the blue printing process when building a high performance engine with a high lift, long duration camshaft is...
No need for reliefs in a piston on a flatly. The valves aren't over the pistons. The higher the cam lift and longer duration the more the...
Nothing interchanges between a 200 and 300 Ford 6. I doubt either would be worth the effort for a temp install in a Hudson.
Separate names with a comma.
