    Rocker Arm Assembly for Edelbrock Heads?

    (Engine: 360 5.9L )I am getting the "Edelbrock Performer RPM FE 390-428 Cobra Jet Aluminum Cylinder Head for Ford FE " and searching for clarification on options on rocker arm assembly to use. In the cylinder head user manual sheet under "you will need" it says adjustable rocker arms, yet I...

    Clutch Linkage Broke While Driving, So I Mad Maxxed It (How long will she hold?)

    So that rod that goes through the floor board connecting the clutch pedal assembly to the clutch? It broke while driving. :headbang: Had to get towed, but when I got back, I found this and bolted it on top and bottom, logically seems better than the original welded pieces with cotter pins. So...

    Performance Distributor Options: What should I go for?

    They ordered me the wrong one (gear ratio and shaft were much smaller, no good), going with jeggs, see what happens then. This is the most disturbing distributor nightmare ever, going on #9 distributor (as usual, 3 days, and the dizzy quits....) not to mention there is some pretty disturbing...

    changing my distibuter

    I have used one of those hex screwdrivers, the ones that you switch the bits on, stick it down the hole and slightly turn the pump shaft and try again.

    changing my distibuter

    It happened to me earlier this year. If you knock it loose while putting a new distributor in, you will hear it drop, sounds like a tool dropping in the engine. (that's what I did). No oil pressure and over heating was also my realization that I knocked it loose. I tried to force it in, instead...

    Performance Distributor Options: What should I go for?

    The only problem with that is I would have to get the whole ignition module as well, as it was never on the truck when I got it. A previous owner must have removed it at some point and replaced the distributor with an earlier version, 1971 is what I was having to get, with the single wire, not...

    2 Questions: Rims, and Transmission

    Sorry, more questions, on a roll again with some final major work...Question 1: I am dropping transmission end of week to change the flywheel, clutch, and u-joints. I found this Eaton Transmission, 5 speed on CL (link below) from a newer ford. Will it and can it fit on my 1974 F350 with 360...

    Performance Distributor Options: What should I go for?

    Regardless, anything better than puling over on side of road and adjusting points? :P (going to run over that damn thing once it's switched... :)

    Performance Distributor Options: What should I go for?

    I am going with the Per Tronix Billet Distributor with vacuum advance - model #D130700 http://www.pertronix.com/docs/instruction-sheets/D130700.pdfThat is my max around 250 to spend on a good distributor (ordered).My next thought is the best iginition coil to use with it. I was thinking...

    Performance Distributor Options: What should I go for?

    So apparently I have been having distributor problems this whole time, and have gone through 4 of them (luckily under warranty). Been having to get ones for a 1971 360 5.9L when my engine is a 1974 360 5.9L. The 1974 has a harness for an ignition module which is non-existent in my vehicle, was...

    Replace intake & carb??

    I have the 600cfm on my 360. Intake manifold was sooooo heavy, yes two people. I used the red high temp sealant and allot of it though I did have new cork gaskets, but used lots of the sealant on bottom and top, and let sit before putting manifold back on. Didn't replace intake, just did a top...

    Help me figure out a fair selling price.

    I am not for sure what used vehicles go for in Oklahoma, but in NC I am seeing old ford trucks without any modifications going around 1000 to 2500 on CL. I got mine from someone for 1500 (talked him down), he was trying to sell it for 2000, all original parts, no repairs, no modifications, and...

    What Is Best Shifting/Driving RPM's For 4 Speed?

    Thanks again for responses. Yep, seems like around 3000RPM is best at least. Only issue still having is between 3rd and 4th. RPM drops fast and slugs on first go in 4th especially on hills then picks up, 2nd and 3rd do fine. Did this test with 1 ton of crap in the back as well, so I am getting...
