So if you have a 68 or 69+ distributor that has a mechanical advance, you can keep your current distributor. If not, you'll have to change it. You...
Does anyone know whatever happened with this? Is it finished? Almost finished? I got really into this, just spent the last 2 hours reading all of...
Is there a way you can find a part on that PDF near 3300 cc or 200ci? When i look at the jets for the 32/36 DGV its much smaller all the way...
So my proportion thing im talking about is for stock engine to stock engine. I understand cam/compression/atmosphere/etc all has to do with it....
So let me get this straight, if it has absolutely nothing to do with engine size, then I should be able to take that 170 V6 Holley and slap it on...
Hey man! What do you know?! Haha. Yeah the car runs great and i cant seem to get the idle mixture screw in more than about 3.75-4 turns out....
So like for my case, what differences should be for the 170 carb and my 200 carb? So how do I know if my jet sizes are correct-ish without a wideband?
[ATTACH] Howdy guys, I'm working with my Ford 200 L6 and i got a weber 32/36 on it. It smells kinda gassy at idle. I had an extra Holley 5200...
Yes I got one from NAPA for about $40. I have it at the stock 3lbs that the regulator starts at. Should I maybe dial it back slightly to see if...
Alright, thanks a lot man. Also I think you're the one that helped me with my weber 32/36 on my car by telling em the jet sizes and all. Just to...
The block plate on there now is super thin like less than .125". Ok my biggest fear here is that the plate will hit the flywheel, thats no bueno...
I love the engine too. Real peppy and so much potential. But would there be a clearance problem between the flywheel and the plate? Just curious
But wait, wouldn't the flywheel be pretty close to the plate unless there was a spacer for the flywheel?
HOLY CRAP I DIDNT THINK ABOUT HAVING A BIT OF THE BELL SHAVED! That's genius! I was thinking of having to have a spacer and stuff for the flywheel...
I do have a small bell but its made to the 2 speed tranny I have. Could that be used as a guide for the small hole setup?
Yes but what I'm getting at is that someone jerry riged a 9" setup on a block that only takes a 8.5" setup and I need a solution. I am thinking of...
I have the one on the right, the blue one
[IMG] [IMG] Can you see the differences in where the highest bolt pattern is? The top pic is a 60-early 65 bolt pattern. The bottom pic is the...
Yes that is the bell that is on the car, and the transmission I have fits that. The 2 top bolt holes at the top of the bell go into nothing except...
Until early 65 they were all 8.5" After mid 65 they went to the dual drilled until 1967 or 68 Then after 67 or 68 they went to only 9" Trust me...
Howdy guys, I recently started a clutch job on my 65 Ranchero and found that someone monkeyed this thing to work. They put a Ford 3.03 toploader...
So i just replaced my clutch with the old 3 finger design since the diaphram style was eating TO bearings. So this is right after first fire up,...
Im actually flying to Oakland this summer to see Electric Light Orchestra but im flying not driving. Using air miles anf all we're flying for $12...

Dude im interested. Im in the Seattle area. You csn never have too many of these
Howdy guys, I got a 61 Lark OHV 6 that im resurrecting from the dead. I replaced the water pump and T-stat as well as paint it all to look nice....
I feel exactly the same man. Nothing like a crazy needle at 60. It adds more to the thrill and laughs of an old car
Yeah man. That takes the fun out of it, haha. There ain't nothing like cracking out the old pad and paper and figuring crap like this out.
It used to be pretty dead on before so I'm not too worried. Thanks for the input man!
