Re: Changing Intakes and Carb
Yeah, I've seen those "trick set-ups" years ago. They didn't work very well as the accel pump wasn't rich enough, or timed well enough to have a smooth transition to 4 barrel operation. (read, bog)...

Re: 1957 Ford Wiper Transmission Cable routing
Why oh why are you messing with that old obsolete stuff? It didn't work all that well when it was new, and now it's over fifty years old! Just get a new electric set-up, install it, and forget the...

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
I agree on that, the tags are often gone. However, with some detective work, you can narrow it down pretty close. The type and shape of the base, the shape of the accel arm, the casting #s on the air...

Re: Edelbrock 500 for 292?
You know, it would help to provide the number of the WCFB carb. At least then, a better decision could be made. Some of them are worth money, depending on the condition. WCFB carbs can be...

Re: Replacement radiator fan for 292
If everything bolts up as it should, it's the water pump. Don't use a flex fan, or one of those aftermarket "wonders". www.flex-a-lite.com (http://www.flex-a-lite.com) has an endless amount of new...

Re: Lincoln Y-Block 318 Problems
Guys, the y-block and Lincoln distributors interchange. All you need to do is switch the gears. Plus, if you do that you will have to upgrade to a later hex-drive oil pump as well.

Re: flathead to ohv engine swap
Tie rod clearance is the problem with using a rear sump engine in this chassis, which is most engines. The dropped tie rod setup is the common cure, but not the best. The drop makes them weaker. The...

Re: flathead to ohv engine swap
Yeah, those were the days. Caddy or Olds, or a couple of other weirder motors. I wish I was still there, but now 4 cylinders rule, and sometimes a 6 cylinder. Pfhoey!

Re: flathead to ohv engine swap
You are going to get a lot of "expert" help on this. Okay, first, your MANUAL trans will bolt to a y-block bell housing. However, your trans is a little wimpy so try to find a later one. The input...

Re: Wire Wheel Tires with Radisl tires
I shouldn't jump in this, but, you know, there are radial tubes. You also need rim strips with tubes. The question I ask is why do you insist on radial tires in the first place? Bias tires would...

You might also want to make sure the distributor is functioning as it should. Everyone forgets that distributors need periodic attention as well. Also keep in mind, not all "rebuilds" are done well,...

Re: tick tick tick tick
It's a low oil pressure issue. You MAY be able to stave it off for a bit with an aftermarket high volume oil pump, but it won't fix a worn out engine.

Re: 2012 f150 5.0 motor
The noise you hear is the valve train, resulting from low oil pressure. It would run a long time like that if necessary. There are lots of things to oil on an overhead cam system, and a convoluted...
