My Model A coupe has the original four banger engine and every intake valve was stuck due to build up of carbon and varnish. i spent the day pullin the head and scrubing the ports and valve to get rid of it but for future reference does any one know of a safe additive i can put in the fuel and...

Ok we have access to a lift and probably a transmission jack so the one pice seems more apealing to me too. ill be sure we clean the strainer for sure plus make sure theirs no sludge deposits in the pan.

Looks great man. Its always nice to see some one do a good job a restoring the pickups and not make a basket case out of it so definate thumbs up! What paint brand are you using?

Hey guys my buddy asked me to help him with his F-150 with a 302 which is having a leak in the Rear Main seal. Im assuming a 2 piece seal is fine for it but i see you can get either one so im not entirely sure. we were also wondering what else a guy should get. so my questions are: should we get...

Its 95 so im assuming fuel injected with MAF sensor? what i would do is tune it up, replace the o2 sensor, clean the Mass Air Flow sensor and make sure my tires are up to correct pressure. also you can get a K&N air filter and make it breath easier but make sure you make it into a cold air...

Well im getting ready to order parts for my truck brake job and i wanted to get some nice braided stainless lines that are a bit longer then stock for my future lift kit but the ones i found say their addapters fittings are built for the F150. I was wondering are the the brake line fittings the...

Ok so i was thinking of going through napa to get the parts i need for the new brakes. are their rotors comparable to fords?

Hey guys i have a 51 ford custom with a fordomatic but im thinking of throwing a T-5 in it so i can take it long distances and not worry about that crummy automatic crapping out on me but i need to get a flywheel to replace the flex plate and i cant find a new flywheel so i was wondering if...

Ok ill follow that root and if it still gives me the same lights after im done ill look into it more and see if the valve needs to be replaced or repaired.

Hey guys I figured out what the lights my truck has been flashing mean. its actualy a total of four flashes from the anti lock break light and solid e brake light and the book says this mean RABS valve switch closed.What does that mean and what do i do to fix it. the most ive worked on for...

I have a 1990 Ford F-250 with a 460 with efi. I've been looking into various ways of replacing or modifying my trucks ECU so i can make it able to run turbos, a hotter cam, new heads and anything else i would want to add change or remove. Im looking at Tweecer RT and i like the set up of it but...

I wasnt sure if it would I figured it would be a fluid or a electric problem but I have to work on the fro t breaks anyway. Ill buy a chiltons soon so that will help too

Yeah the pads ar gone and the edge of the brakes are being ground off so if it can sence mechanical issues it would be that brake. when i get time to work on it ill replace the brakes and see if that stops the lights. is there a code reader for the brake system that i can buy?

The fluid looked fine and when i had that low a long time ago it only put on the anti lock brek light on i know my front breaks are realy realy bad but theyve been doin their self destruction for a while and i dont know if the truck would sence that problem.I noticed that some times the lights...

Just recently i got to go home for winter break and drive my 1990 F250 and its been putting up warning lights for my breaks. I didnt have time to look up what the lights stood for so if anyone here knows it would be helpful for you guys to see if you can identify the problem.When i start the...

Any one know of good websites wher i can by automotive trim (upholstry) materials?

Yeah i want to keep the EFI

So if i made a custom intake and got different headers it would theoreticly work?I guess if i could get my heads to be better and have bigger ports id be fine cause i just want more flow.

I was curious to know if a guy could put either older heads like DOVE heads on newer 460s with EFI, or even heads from edelbrock or trick flo that are noted only up to 1987 on the later engines.

yeah your probably right the only time i broke bolts or studs was on the model a i re did and it was a 30 year old engine so this engine probably hasnt even bothered the bolts. i just got done collecting screws and interior parts all i gotta do is pump gas out of the tank and put it in something...

yeah i saw at macs they were 20 to 30 bucks and then i ought to get new bolts. plus the transmission is leaking and like i said the rear end sounds bad and its realy addin up for a burger king salory like mine ha

well i got curious and checked all the bolts with a torque wrench and all except one bolt were loose in the head. im sure it was supposed to be retorqued like my model a but it didnt get more than 200 miles so it probably wasnt properly torqued from the get go. its still producing bubles at...

it has true dual glass packs and in the winter it would puff out a little white smoke. and clear water and would puff smoke longer from the passenger side. during the summer it has nothing coming out.my grandpa has the service manual for it so ill get that when i go to hot august nights.so i...

It ends up with steam being pushed out of the radiator at a pretty good rate. i pulled the cap off and it makes bubbles while idoling no froth tho. i also found out today that the cooling system isnt under any pressure (i can remove the cap at high heat after shutting the car off and not even...

sorry its the custom 4 door again with the fordomatic drive. It has the 239 flathead with 2 barrel carb

I got two questionsFirst off i just got done rewiring my 51 ford and noticed it had to water temp sending units, one is bad or sonethig so it grounds out totaly and indicates the engine is cool no matter what. ar the sendin units supposed to be exactly the same or or slightly different to make...

yeah it looks like the outer pad on the drivers side warped or something and they have no break material on the pads any more so that steel to steel contact chewd them up. i just looked and its way cheaper than i thought it would be and the part description says hub assembly so it may come as...

Well my brake pads went bad and tore up my front disc brakes so now i got to get new ones. Should i just get brand new hubs or would i be fine going to a pick and pull and getting some old ones and resurfacing them?

ill get a pic up later and i looked at it in the day light just now i think i can get it but yeah i was pretty pissed. and its at the lower part panel in the back of the ofthe truck.

So i was at my buddies and we decided to go spotlighting and we hopped in his chev cuz i was low on gas. he wasnt paying attention and hit my truck with his bumper while we backed out. i can fix it but im not sure if i can get it flawless so im thinkin of buying a new one. any one know where a...
