Re: 390 camshaft
I think I have pictures of what you want to see.
The cylinder ridge is minimal. My finger nail barely grabs it.
The head pictured is the left side.
I don't have the measuring tool this weekend...

Re: 390 camshaft
I forgot to include the picture after I scraped the carbon off. There is still a little ridge of carbon but most is removed.

Re: 390 camshaft
The engine is a C5 not a C6. It is hard to read the casting number in the picture.
I measured the cylinders tonight also.

Re: 390 camshaft
I don't think the rockers are adjustable. I will look at them Wednesday night.
I am a auto body repairer not a mechanic. I thought this might be a fun project to do because I have never rebuilt an...

Re: 390 camshaft
The 390 was in a 1966 Thunderbird. I don't know if it was original to the car or not. The numbers on the block mean nothing to me as this is the first engine I am rebuilding

Re: 390 camshaft
Because it has the Fomoco stamp I know it is a factory camshaft. What I would like to know is the info regarding the other stampings.

390 camshaft
Why would the camshaft that I removed from my 390 be stamped like it is?

Re: Heating up a block to get stuck dizzy out
The distributor in my 390 was seized in the block. The distributor is broken where the cap goes on so I was able to be a tad rough on it to remove it. I soaked it for the past week with SeaFoam Deep...

Re: 1966 Thunderbird 390 4V
Yes you are correct.
I had that done but I can't find my paperwork. But that is how I know that it was built here in Ontario.

Re: 59 edsel shocks
Where I work we just re-arch the springs to give whatever ride height is needed. Keeps it looking original for the judged shows some owners participate in.
Might be a cheaper way doing the spring...

Re: 1966 Thunderbird 390 4V
You are correct in comparing the T-Bird grille to this one. I thought so too.
The headlight doors on mine are chrome but pictures show some were painted.
Thought about air brushed name plates. I...
