    1966 Rearend and Front Spindles

    Thanks for that. Since my original was an I6, and the V8 from drum assembly is a complete unit, what do you think I will need to change for suspension and steering.

    1966 Rearend and Front Spindles

    That is good news. Now all I have to do is get the replacement parts for the front end for the 5 lug spindles and save up for some wheels and tires. If I put in new SS lines from the front to the rear, what should I need.

    Successful 302 Swap

    It was not really hard work, but it cost me around 2000 for the engine, tranny, and miscellanous parts. I did almost everything myself with some help from my brother. Seeing that I could not get everything all at once it took me almost a year to get it were I wanted it. I have everything for...

    Successful 302 Swap

    Its been a long time coming, but my I6 to 302 swap finally came true tonight. I was finally able to drive it down the road a few miles with no incidence. It has been a good and bad learning experience. I love the new found horsepower under the hood and the sound of dual exhaust is just great...

    Exhaust Leak?????

    When my 66 289 is sitting at idle or excelerating while driving I hear what sounds like an exhaust leak from the passengers side. When at a steady speed it seems to go away. The best I can tell is that is seems to be comming from the where the exhaust and manifold meet. The drivers side seems...

    Timing Chain Issue????

    I'd guess you have compression, remove the spark plugs and see if it helps.

    Engine sluggish to crank

    Finally figured it out. It appeared that since the engine had been sitting for while, that a layer of surface rust was inside of the cylinder walls. I sprayed a little WD40 into the plugged ports and let it set for couple of minutes. After about 10 minutes we hit the inigtion and it turned...

    Engine sluggish to crank

    I took the engine out of a running 1984 F-150 with about 50k miles original on it. Where is the best place to put the battery ground and engine to body ground?

    Engine sluggish to crank

    Ok, I have loosened the rockers, taken out the spark plugs, replace the starter, coil, solenoid, ground and positive cables along with the battery. The engine will crank, but it is still very sluggish in turning over. I can see oil pumping via the pump into the heads. I have a completely...

    Engine sluggish to crank

    I am referring to tightening the rocker nuts too much. I don't have the coil connected. I am just try to turn it over to prime the fuel pump. When i turn it over it turns slowly.

    Engine sluggish to crank

    I have a 1984 302 in my 1966. When I try to crank the car it appears to turn very slowly even with a new battery, starter and cables. With a solid lifters can they have too much tension on them from tightening.

    Fuel Line

    Can anybody tell me what size fitting I need to go from the output of my fuel pump to the carb. I don't want to run metal line and need to know what size and type fitting I need. The pump is already mounted and I would rather not take it off. It is a standard fuel pump for a 1966 289.

    Carb Question Needed Quickly

    I just purchased a Holley 4V 4160 Electric Choke 600cfm carb. I have it mounted on a 1983 Ford intake. When I mount it the way I think it is supposed to go, looking from the front of the car toward the transmission, the electic choke is on the left side, the throttle will not open up all the...
