Looks like 65fastbackresto had the right feeling originally. This sucks big time!

Back in the day 15+ years ago, it was ESI next door to JBA that did my engine build. I think the guys who use to work there opened a shop up the road in Santee. Greg Grossett of Total Performance in Santee: 10133 Prospect Avenue Santee, CA 92071-4411 (619) 562-9894 Might be some $$$, but if...

I think reworking the motor with your son would be more rewarding than swapping a motor. I think your son would enjoy a motor tear down! I hear good things about the Ededlbrock kits( cam, heads,intake...) I have their heads on my motor. Welcome aboard!

If they are indeed original rims. I'd sell the original 3, and get new 'old style' to match the repop, and have money left over.

x2 I also bought mine from them. Fit was good also!

x2 Get over there, and get that car and paperwork. Before the other guy offers him more!

You could always rebuild your original with a larger amp kit. Ford Alternator upgrade & repair kits, Quick Start Rebuild Kits

I think there was a discussion of this company awhile back. Although their name says "blueprint", they are NOT 'blueprinted' motors. Just a typical rebuild. Just an FYI

Check to see if the rotor in the distributor is actually turning?

Usually, a soldering iron is the most difficult tool you'll use on rebuilding it. That kit came with instructions. And pics. Next time give it a try, any problems, ask away. You'll save $$ and see how easy it is. Like always, after rebuilding stock. You'll say, "I should have went bigger" lol

That was a lot of surface rust. It cleaned up real nice! Nice job. Thanks for the pics!

First, I would fully charge your battery with a charger. I don't think a few minutes of running, after tightening your belt, is enough to charge your battery. Your car will run w/ a bad alternator. I've had my car running down on 10v or so, before on just the weak battery. After the full charge...

Found this Small Block Ford Nostalgia Finned Valve Covers Could get them powder coated.

Know your firing order. Rotation is ccw. When you find TDC, and you drop the dizzy in. The rotor points to no.1 on the cap. There's a pic of an early ford v-8 order ford 302 firing order for distributorcap It doesn't really matter where no. 1 is located on the cap. Plug wire length might have...

Looks like a great starting point, for a car that's been sitting 30 years! Nice ride! although I am partial to 67's :) on the upside, you might just be looking at a brake job, with maybe some carb, and ignition work. And misc like tires, steering(alignment) issues. The factory manual is a good...

Shutoff by itself? As in, it was overheating and kept driving till it seized on its own? If so......early lesson learned when I was 18. As 'soon as' that temp needle moves to the red. Pullover, no matter what. Does the oil smell burnt?

on the link: Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP Go down on the right side for "image resizer" and install. Will let you resize pictures to any size you want. It's free!

Hmm...depends on the cop! Hear in Ca. No tint is legal on side windows, period. They can let you 'slide'. But at ANY time you MAY be ticketed for tinted driver's and pass windows. A fix-it, probably $20 now a days, but then you've got to put it back on later. I will say, I run 20 rear with a...
