As others have noted . . . your PV's are probably not the correct ones. You cannot use regular Holley (modern) PVs. I suggest getting them from...
Thanks for putting the vid together Carl - always fun to watch!
Yep, ole' Terminal Island racing . . . and 'Big Willy' - I remember that well. Was amazing that the cops didn't show up (in the early years) -...
I like your plan with the dual Stromberg 81's (and the selected cam) - this will be a good combination. If you're putting new heads on it, make...
It would be quite easy to design a 4-bolt to Stromberg adapter . . . though I'm sure there has to be one made in the past. If you have CAD and...
Nice going! A big day to start a long-term engine project - home you had a blast!
Hey Ryan, the problem you're having is an issue with those carbs up top and no way to heat them. The hot-water version would probably help,...
The best setup is to use a generator mounted fan - and make sure it is a 32 Fan. The 32 fan is specific to the year and should be about 3/4" or...
On the pipes, you need to buy mandrel bent u-bends (different angles to work with) and then custom make the pipes to flow a bit better, hug the...
Cabriolets are an interesting deal . . . kind of a richer man's roadster back in the day. Also, a lot more usable in colder/wetter climates (with...
Does it run pretty well when it is cold and then have issues once it gets hot?
Also, it looks like the vacuum line is disconnected from the distributor - is it just lying there and sucking air or plugged off or what?...
Given that it has Brodix heads, my guess is that the rest of the engine is probably setup for some higher horsepower and hence the pretty-big...
Give us some more details on the engine (model, size, performance parts, etc), transmission, etc.. There is nothing inherently wrong with this...
Well, I'd say "kind of" . . . when you break an axle in our early Ford rear ends, the hub/wheel does "float" . . . right off of the rear end!...
A Johnny Joint is a good choice for your front mount for the rear radius rods . . . much better than a typical heim joint. Also, most of them can...
I heard that when they ran Nitro they took the jets out completely and over-bored the dump tubes. I have no idea as to how they tuned the damn...
Hell of a lot easier job that trying to graft a section in the middle and hope that you can somehow align the two ends. Given how a TT pivots in...
No kidding! I don't think I've worked on any area of a suspension project without modifications to dang hear everything that went into it. It...
Hopefully you plan on using a lot stronger material to align the TT pieces that what I see in the mockup. I would be using some 1/4" thick angle...
Here is a great guy that does all my pump rebuilds (and a lot of other stuff for guys on the Fordbarn) - including some special pumps for me - he...
Glad you solved it Richard - way to go and thanks for the roundtrip reply!
A rough guess is that you'd need $5000 - $6000 - with probably other things to purchase as well (maybe a dual sync distributor, etc).
What is the width of the housing?
That is most likely a Lincoln center section.
What a great roll of file to process . . . just some awesome pictures and history (much of it unknown) . . . and that makes it even better!...
Way to go Neal . . . Hell of a nice offer!
Yep, those "nylons" can always get a guy in trouble! LOL
Having high quality flaring tools is a must as well . . . make a huge difference - and is mandatory for brake lines.
Great post! I think exactly like you do!
