    Help in bypassing wiper parking function.

    I'm not sure which manufacturer a SPF uses however if I was looking at this issue I would start by looking at the wiring connection on the wiper motor. My motor has three wires. One is hot all the time, this is the park wire, one for low speed and one for the high speed. In my case all I have...

    Air leaks with slip fit collectors and EFI causing rich A/F?

    The 298.45 should be from the ground to the center of the wheel as should the 323.85 in the rear. Not noted on your sketch, the front sill is 339.7 and you have the back correct at 358.7.

    Part 2 of Don's Mk IV Build

    Last weekend I installed a glass rear windshield and I'm very happy about the results. The old plexi glass just looked like a plexiglass window. Thought I would share a few quick photos I took in the garage. Always nice to make improvements to the car.

    Gear ratios for the GT40 Mark IV?

    Ian, You may want to find a copy of SAE paper 670071. This was the paper written about the Ford dyno setup they used to simulate the Le Mans Circuit. Drive shafts were connected to the dyno so no tire growth in these numbers. When building my Mk IV I worked the numbers until I got a gear...

    Gold colour P1016 Help please

    Morten, Maybe you are looking for Gold and not one of the Ford colors used in the early 60's. Just looking at paint codes the one that looks like your Gold is the 1961 Ford color Algiers Bronze, I attached a car painted in that color or it could be the 1966 Ford color Antique Bronze Poly...
