    TFI / Duraspark length differences

    I have the original carbed 302 in my 79 with factory Duraspark ignition. I want to swap to a roller 5.0 block soon and want to keep the Duraspark.

    How to determine proper fuse and wire size?

    Does anyone have a link or chart that shows how many amps a given wire size can handle and how to determine proper fuse size? I'm finally getting around to doing the 3g alternator swap with one rated at 160 amps. (tested at 177 amps max) from alterstart.com. Most articles/posts I've read...

    Has anyone mounted their aftermarket fuel pressure regulator directly to the back of aluminum aftermarket fuel rails?

    Different distributor gear question

    I realize a distributor needs a certain type of gear so it won't be damaged by a steel roller cam. My question is, can a TFI style distributor be used with an older flat tappet style cam without causing any issues? Thanks.

    Where to find a deep groove V-belt pulley for 3G swap

    Does anyone know of a source for a deep groove V-belt pulley for a 3G alternator? I read somewhere that the v groove belt slips on the 3G when it gets over 100 amps. I don't really want to change over to a double groove or serpentine just yet. Just trying to cover all the bases before I begin...

    Where to find tube nuts & sleeves for steel line?

    I'm looking for a source for -6 and -8 tube nuts and sleeves for use on 37* AN flared steel line. The ones I see at Jegs and Summit appear to be used only for aluminum hard line. I've found a couple 37* flaring tools as well, rigid and parker-rolo, but they are also meant for softer copper /...

Trying to find an economical way to mate the springlock EFI fittings to the factory (carb) steel fuel line, but haven't had much luck. I'd like to use steel or stainless steel, but have been considering the...

    94/95 Mustang maf.....made in Japan???

    I just received a "stock" 94/95 mustang maf I ordered on Ebay. Just below the platform where the electronic module attaches, in a recessed area, "JAPAN" is cast on the aluminum housing. It has the factory module attaced to it (F2VF-12B579-A2A), with a "remanufactured in USA" sticker on it...

    Maf ? for those running Tmoss ported lower/Thumper combo

    Can I get away with running the stock 55mm maf with a T. Moss ported stock lower and Thumper head combo, or will I run into lean afr and driveability issues due to the additional airflow? I realize the stock maf is a restriction, and would like to go with a larger one at some point, but I've...
