Re: Rock Auto cam bearings a little tight

Thanks for all the advice, gentlemen. Looks like I will have to get a better tool to install the next set.

Re: Rock Auto cam bearings a little tight

I'm not concerned so much that the cam may not be running true. That might be the case if the cam had gone farther than 3/4 inch into the first bearing.

Angry Rock Auto cam bearings a little tight

With the weather finally starting to warm up a little, I decided to start re-assembling the 8BA for my 1950 Ford. I had bought the cam bearings from Rock Auto and installed them months ago, but...

Re: 50 Ford Caster and Camber bushing tools 3089-N, 3046-N

My uppers measure about 1.3"
The lowers are about 1.2"

Of course, YMMV.

Re: Shoebox Front Suspension Control Arms

Thanks!
I was worried I'd have to redo a bunch of work!

Now I need to find or make one of those spiffy tools.

Re: Ford/Holley 94 tear down and reassembly!

Thank you for this and all the details you included!

I will surely be referring back to this when I get near the end of my engine build.

Shoebox Front Suspension Control Arms

How close to centered should the control arms be attached to the inner support shafts? I just realized that when I reinstalled them, they are off center about 1/8".

Or am I just overthinking this?

Shoebox Front Shocks

Does anyone have recommendations for front shock absorbers on a 1950 Ford V8 Sedan?

The cheapies on Rock Auto don't appear to have all the bushings needed.

Re: 1950 Ford Overdrive problem

Re: 1950 Ford Overdrive problem

I have tried twisting against it as hard as I dare, back and forth with second and reverse locking the gears up.
I have tried hammering with a brass rod at multiple points around the circumference....

Re: 1950 Ford Overdrive problem
