  3. real quick e-fan q!

    ok so i have a t-bird fan already mounted and im into the wiring, i know how to wire it all EXCEPT! one thing. there are 3 wires on the fan. one is ground and the other 2 im not sure of. one is orange/blk and the other is blue (i would imagine for the 2-speeds) i would like to wire it up so the...
  4. got a gauge/ wiring question

    sounds to me like your ground is shared with something on the column. believe it or not if you share grounds with certain things it can cause them to wig out. my 78 chev did this too. run a thick guage wire from your common ground and run it to your frame or cab. then make sure your ground strap...
  5. 300efi build ?'s

    well i found out on a fordsix (a strictly /6 only forum) that the compression ratio would be roughly 10.9:1 with flat tops. they have links to all kinds of vendors and tuning companies that specialize in these motors. and would MAF from MAP really make a huge power difference? what all would...
  6. 300efi build ?'s

    Ok so i have a factory rebuilt head. replacing the head made me think, these are dished pistons! I have an extra block laying around. i was wondering if it is possible to run a true flat top piston in these motors without valve interference? what would that bring the compression ratio to...

  11. cooling system and belt problems!

    i figured it out. the belt they gave me was too long and it walked off the pulleys, i would imagine it was allowing my water pump to not turn regularly. i put a new belt on it. runs like a champ now. no coolant leak or anything. i think with the water pump not turning as it was intended caused...
