I ended up using the stainless steel ties. Thanks fellas. Appreciate it.
See attached pictures. Had to remove radiator fan and in doing so one of the mounting studs broke off so upon reinstalling I resorted to using zip...
That's a stock photo on the Summit website. Part of the reason I made the purchase was because the photo showed the nubs. Also the caps I...
I don't know. I would much rather find a way to put the moon caps on the rear though than anything else. That'd be the best.
Bought the pictured smoothie wheels from US Wheel. The rear wheels (different size at 15x12) do NOT have the nubs for moon caps. They only...
I managed to find a pdf file Ford service manual (1968) which calls for 4 Pints (2 Quarts) for an 8"
What is FSM? Factory Service Manual?
So got the new 8" third member installed but something strange happened when adding the oil. It's supposed to take 2.5 quarts but when adding the...
No literature. Built by Quick Performance using new parts. Just arrived today. I did reach out to them but haven't heard back. Just thought I'd...
Ford 302/C4/8" 3.25 with Posi Will be installing the new center section with posi soon. Any recommendations for gear oil? Weight, capacity, etc?...
Oh geez. Now this thread is drawing blood!
No. I'm sorry. I've been busy. I will post the results. I measured temps over a 5 hour period on many parts of the engine. I used the "cold"...
Will there be a noticeable difference in torque/acceleration with just the 3.00?
29 Ford/302/C4/29" Rear Tires Getting a new center section. Current one is 8" 2.79. Never had it on a dyno so not sure how much HP I actually...
Not sure if it's happening when accelerating as the engine would drown out the noise. As soon as you let off the gas the engine itself naturally...

As requested by several of you I conducted a little experiment using a laser thermometer on various parts of the engine to track the temperature...
Alternatively, you could just not participate.
You hear anything about Lucas Oil Hot Rod & Classic? Might use that next time in 10W40 or 10W30. Not sure if it's any good though. Just want...
Haha. Just want to go to a lighter oil that still is zincified! Not sure if anyone has used Lucas.
I think next oil change I'll go with a high zinc 10W40. Does anyone know if the Lucas Oil Hot Rod & Classic is good? [ATTACH]
Haha. In all seriousness how hot would you say the oil gets?
I will do that. Laser thermometer arrives in a couple of days.
Nothing. I'm trying to determine if something abnormal is causing it or if it's nothing abnormal.
I will do that for sure.
Wow, thank you for going the extra mile to do that experiment for me!
It's an open engine. No hood to contain heat.
Haha no. Just me here.
