The best way (IMO) to CYA, especially with a high ramp cam/strong valve springs is to use a dedicated break-in oil (and break-in springs - no...
It should be fine for what you are trying to do (IMO). It is a H-4160 short bowl. Ford used them in that period (1970's) as a replacement carb for...
HI-ZINC was removed to prevent convertor damage on the newer emissions designs. When this transpired, HI-ZINC oils were discontinued as an owner...
That is their escape/limited liability clause. Now that is good. BTW - It is CONFUSEDOUS.
This is what I am thinking. There was no excessive pressure on the hinge pins on closing before as the gasket was defective. The new gasket...
You might want to remove the springs and adjust. If adjust OK and after adding springs it stands up, it would most likely be the hinges worn. Is...
Correct. If you fill (soak) a hyd lifter (or prime it), it will act as a solid lifter until first fire oil pressure reaches the lifter and allows...
You removed the deck lid when you had the interior cut in? Have you tried adjusting the deck lid hinges? That is where the problem is. Or the...
It depends on how they were assembled, either with brake assembly lube or brake fluid. The brake fluid will of course draw moisture from the air...
Maybe This Will Help, Maybe Not ... - 1300HP MERC COMET BRAKE FAILURE -...
Just can't leave well enough alone and keeping rattling cages ... The MC you showed is for HYDRO-BOOST. That is why the bolt-on pattern. Most...
Really? Where? Well, actually there are. Well, not really. Enough. Somebody needs to break out a brake theory/text book, especially...
OK, let me try it this way - Why does OEM use a larger reservoir? How much fluid is needed to push a wheel end caliper piston over a wheel...
Post below describes using the TAAM-7505-B (CASTING ID NO.) on a 292 w/ T-5 conversion. Maybe it will help. Thread Here -...
No big deal. If I don't get it on forums, I get it at the house ...
KLUTZ ... ??? GOD Will Get You For That Mikee ... The SERVICE PN you want is B8Y 7505-A (292 - T-98). This is from the 1957-63 TRUCK MPC. The PN...
Well, here comes another food fight. A DRUM/DRUM MC is not designed to operate FOUR WHEEL DISC. The reservoirs are not large enough and the bore...
I like the fortune cookies they put in the white boxes ... BTW - COMP absorbed CRANE and now COMP is part of EDELBROCK.
No problem. Let us know how it goes.
It was at this point I should have realized the single piston MC had an internal #10 RPV (even rebuilt as the kit will come with it). Do me a...
Are any of the components next to a heat source such as the exhaust?
Well, actually... they were advertising them in the fifties - FORD began using them around 1972. I am a FORD FREAK so am not as keen/interested on...
DENNIS CARPENTER has the FAA 13067-A (1952/53). 1A 13058-A (1952/54) are showing on EvilBay.
The manifolds were designed for the H-4150/4160 and F-4100. The trouble with using the 4100 will be finding a good core ($$$).
You're correct. With the CHI-COM junk being sold today, you have no idea what you are getting. This will also dictate what period master cylinder...
... hmmm ... GOOD VALID POINT!
No we don't, but I can guarantee it is part of the problem. It has no business being there, period. Kindly explain to me how residual line...
You need a phenolic spacer (or insulted mounting gasket) between the carb and intake to insulate the carb from engine heat. It can also have...
The H-4010/4011 was originally released by HOLLEY. They did not catch on so HOLLEY dropped the design and destroyed the tooling. It was a cross...
