For the record guys these blocks were used excusively in the millions of Ford Pickups sold all through the 1970's. They got the heavier Maincaps and were almost a clone of the original HP 289 block except for two raised bumps on the fronts of the block near the water pump inlets. I use one in my...

Peugeot in Disguise

Yes, Rich. Malcom it is the exact same casting. Look at it closely. The cutter in the mill was taken all the way down the the flat surface outside the choke horn. I left 4 small sections of the air filter housing rgister at 90 degree intervals to locate the air cleaner. Then radius the edges...

Here is a 650 that has got the "Full Monte" done to it, drop leg boosters, thin throttle plates, Choke tower removed, all edges radiused and flowed, removable air bleeds, 4 corner idle, different linkage and resized idle feed restrictor, 650 DP is very fat at idle...

Chris: The MSD boxes do not like vibration. If you have not already done so, seek out on the MSD site the rubber isolators that mount on each corner. (available other places too) They are round and about 3/4" long , and use a 10-32 stud and similar attaching screws. 22 years on MSD 6T without a...

Maybe they are cheaper to ship?? DOH!

Brett: I'm sure this is not something you want to hear at this point BUT The best pump currently available for 289/302/351 is made by Melling. Their redesign of the High performance pump is made of cast iron (as are all i've seen) but has a fitted bottom plate that has a length of shafting...

If you do decide to use paint, use a semi gloss and go sparingly. Do not put the paint on to heavily on the core & fins. Motorcycle shops have a good paint that is often used to "touch up" scratched engine cases and barrels.

Drag racers who are real sharp on carburetion have a portable Weather Station in the trailer or hanging on the trailer door. It will not only tell them the fluctuating changes between runs in Temprature but also Barometric Pressure (Air Density) and Humidity. For those in the know, all of these...

Your'e after my heart Craig. These are great items. I have a couple, 1 for a 302 and another for 351. The tach head is geared correctly for your application, all you need is a cable. Find a shop that does speedometer work and they will most likely be able to make one any length you want. Some of...

Dean are you using High Quality Rod ends that are "Tight", the ones with Teflon liner? It looks like you have high angularity rod ends currently. Perhaps standard ones would be better. With one belt is it possible the pulses are being transmitted from you A/C compressor, maybe you need to...

The wire that wraps the field coil is a very very small and if one strand fractures you will have an open circuit creating the infinate OHM reading you obtained. However overall they are quite reliable. That's the reason they use them in the primary circuit instead of points, along with the fact...

A 1965 block wil be a 5 bolt bellhousing. In mid 1966 the bellhousing was changed to 6 bolt.

Chuck: I had a similar problem and struggled with it for several months. I replaced nipple adapters, hose, hose ends, retightened fittings on the hose and even replaced fittings with the same design, to no avail. Finally I traced it to the type of fitting being used, and I was using the...
