    FE motor query

    Many thanks Jac - I figured you might be along too...:thumbsup: I've been having a read up of Pat Ganahl's 'Ford Performance' which details exactly what you say about the oil galleries and outlines what's required but if we have any queries I'll drop you a PM to be sure.. Many thanks..

    R21 Solid Shifter Shaft (not cable) Problems

    That's a Roy Smart construction, or rather the rear part is for sure. I do recall him making one for Brian although to be fair all the one's he had made otherwise were RH shift versions so whether something changed in the fitment or not I don't know. As I regularly drove and competed in...

    FE motor query

    Ahhh yes - I remember Green Shield Stamps too, you used to get pages of them at a time when you shopped or got fuel. I always thought it was a bit of a con as I seem to recall that even with about 25books of stamps and each book had multiple pages, you'd get something like a toaster, or a deck...

    FE motor query

    Ok - firstly this is not GT40 related, However I'm currently helping a friend with a newly acquired 'tow car' which I picture below. The car is a 1959 Ford Country Sedan although I'm nicknaming her 'HMS HOOD' as dimensionally I think its similar in overall length! (and possibly weight!)...

    New York Telephone directory.

    Thanks Ben - I think the White pages did claim to list her but as non-residents we were unable to proceed any further. A couple of forum members have kindly offered assistance so we are hopeful we may get a link. Thanks again..

    Classic Car Show, NEC, November

    Typical 'Sledgehammer Remark' made without due thought. Car clubs are about people enthusiastic about cars and making them elitist for only one marque shows a totally blinkered, opinionated approach to things. Let's not forget that the COH Baines trophy died as it was made eligible ONLY to...

    New York Telephone directory.

    Hi all, totally non-car related but my wifa and I have been tracing her relatives recently and have discovered that some migrated from Latvia to the USA back in 1950s (possibly from Germany) and have discovered a link to a lady we believe to be related to her grandfather. The lady is living in...

    Electronics question

    Hi Bill Just came across thia whilst having a browse and i have a simple cct i've used on occasion to convert a simple magnetic ABS sensor output to a 'square-ish' wave that i've then used as inputs to an ECU for traction control. It works well up to 50khz inputs and only requires a few readily...

    Jokes anyone? -

    A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper, Guido, has cheated him out of $10,000,000.00. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that Guido would hear nothing so he would not have to testify in court. When the Godfather goes to...

    Windage tray for GTD40 (with 302 engine)

    I'm sure most people are not fully aware of what their oil pressure is actually doing. On Roy Smart's GTD40 we data loggerd the pressure and it fluctuated a lot when driving hard on track, esp when on slicks. Once a dry-sump system was installed, the problem never presented itself again...

    GTD Car Club Gone?

    An AGM is an Annual General Meeting and would be a meeting of club committee members organised to discuss club matters. It would also be publicised to any paid up membership so that they can choose to attend or not and also to be able to vote on any matters presented either by being there or by...
