Yep, but the carb was mounted facing forward like on a V8 so it worked better. The Poncho motor had more horse power too. The engine was offered...

Casting number is: 3987746 this I have found as a 1968 casting. Stamped in numbers are: 19w467646 and V04I2AJ. I'm guessing the number breaks...
I have a 2GC on my car and it's too much. Can't go around corners as it floods. MPG sucks. Can't get it lean enough. I'm going to the Pinto card....
Brakes are in need of replacement on the wife's 46 Ford Sedan. Figured it's a good time to switch to front disc. Speedway has a kit for the front,...

Does anyone know the Gates belt number for a 46 Ford V8 with a Edlebrock 2x2 intake. I can't seem to get a belt with the right angle and length. I...
The wife and I just bought a 1955 Pleasure Craft Canned Ham. Trying to find a forum like this to ask questions on stuff. Anyone know of an active...

Was just told by a V8 Ford club guy that Edelbrock recommends only copper gaskets. Just didn't say why. A friend is on the Edelbrock tech line,...
