Thanks Julian, Sold!

Still available!

Available again, trades for small block ford parts entertained.

Offering a Redline Weber package for 351Windsor Ford motor. These items are used about 3 years. They have been cleaned and inspected and are in perfect working condition. I will include all jets, emulsion tubes, holders, air correctors and related tuning items I have acquired over the years...

Hey Sam, The car looks like it is coming along great. How is the drivetrain advancing?

Jac Mac, Yes, this intake does have a 3/8 hole in each runner connected to a common vacuum plenum. The Redline intake that I had installed also had the common plenum set-up machine into the casting. The basic difference between the two is the size and position of the runners. The Pro-Comp intake...

Hello Tim, The exhaust jets were the only mechanical change. I had initially set the floats on the car. I am guessing that because of the pitch of the motor in the chassis I had some slight variations in all the settings. Setting them dry on the bench, I was able to match each one exactly. I...

Hello All, This winter has really been hampering my time in the drivers seat. But, after spending many hours grinding and fitting the new Pro-comp intake. Going through each carb with a thorough cleaning, installing a #30 pump exhaust, and double checking all my float settings. I have been able...

Thanks Rick, I am going to try a 30 or 35 pump exhaust. While I have the carbs off the motor for an intake change, I'll give them a thorough cleaning. Then, I'll tune the whole set-up again.

Sam, I was able to purchase a use GT40 bell from Dennis Quella (Pantera Performance). I did have to modify it slightly to get adequate clearance. At the time, the parts to run a Windsor with a ZF in the CAV chassis weren't readily available. So, I fabbed all the trans mounts, modified the motor...

Best of luck with the build Sam. If you need any input or advice on the final assembly just give me a shout.

Hello Tim, I do have good heat separation, an insulated pan and wrapped headers. I am almost certain the fuel is not boiling, only expanding. The temp of the intake at the base of the carbs never goes above 130deg F, the temp of the carb bodies never registers more than 120deg F. I spoke with...

Hello All, I am running 48 IDAs on a 408 Windsor in my CAV. I have a good handle on the tuning. No problems with popping or leaking. I'm using an A/F meter so my mixture is right around the 12 range throughout. I have 38 deg. of total timing at 17deg. of initial advance. No excessive heat in the...

Thanks Cliff, I will give them a call.

Hello all, I am trying to track down a better option for CV joint boots. I have CAV chassis 169. It is a later chassis with a ZF trans axle. The angle to the stub axles is a little steeper than the standard trans(gtrag,G60). I have replaced the stock boots(both outsides failed after 2600 miles)...

CAV 169 is Guardsmen Blue with 4" wimbleton White stripes

Hello All, After doing some research. It turns out that CAI(Smith's) gauges use the European Standard for fuel gauge demands. 10 ohms at empty and 180 ohms full. At this point I am going to have custom solid state senders made. The accuracy factor won't be an issue and they make a version...

All good points, I am going to Radio Shack to find out exactly what I have for sender output and gauge demands. The senders are the cylindrical style with an internal linear movement( no way to adjust or bend). The correction will most likely have to be electrical. This will be Sunday's chore...

Hello Allen, I will do some reaserch and find out the parameters for both senders and the gauge itself. The mods to the sender are to slightly shorten the cylinder shaped body only to safely fit inside the fuel bladder(no pics,sorry). another note....the board you put together for the one wire...

Hello all, my chassis is a newer mono number 169. Issue is simple I need to correct the ohms reeding the gauge gets from the senders. I was given modified VDO sending units to run my original style Smith's fuel gauge. The gauge reads no more the 3/4 when the tanks are full and it reads emty when...
