Re: Early Ford V8 COE help

My 42 has rectangular gages. I am told 41/42 have no window frames, whereas 47 has framing around the door windows. I do have the bar type grill.

Re: Am I missing anything?

Looking at Mike's pictures, it looks to me someone has replaced the rear center section and reused the original 57 yoke. I have two 57's here with that batwing style of yoke on them. One is a Ranch...

The factory Lincoln rear disc's used 1/2 T-bolts, big bearings and the ends are twisted slightly. The Mustang is probably 3/8 T-blolts and may use a smaller bearing. So In my mind the short answer is...

65/66 Mustangs were still single cylinder masters, you will need to look for 67/68 for dual master cylinders.

Re: 1967 ford fairlane, underbody paint

Most of the time it was red oxide primer. The factory did not tape up at the rockers, so the under floor area will be over spray of whatever body color they were painted. Some of the plants in later...

Re: Questions on Ford 427 side oiler

My understanding was that cammers had an extra drain back oil passage from the deck to the crank case. I have never worked on one, but I thought the front of the block was the same.

Re: Questions on Ford 427 side oiler

There were different blocks, center oilers, side oilers, and cammer blocks. Two bolt and four bolt engine mounts, but all were the same bore and stroke.

You should be looking for a 12127 number, and I would think it would have a "J" in it. Part number should look something like C8JE 12127 XX. J being a marine designation and most industrial...
