I have a 292. Guess I'll have to work a C4 or AOD.

I would like to upgrade my 59 Ranger's transmission from the Mile-o-matic to something more current. All suggestions will be appreciated.

Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s I've been running a 1958 Carter WCFB 4bbl on my 8ba for the last 75K miles. It sets on a Offy 4bbl intake. I put it and a MSD 8573 ready to run dizzy on the motor when I rebuilt it & have never had ANY problems.

Prayers for you and your family.

Just bought one @ O'reilly's for $14.95 including tax & the button on the bottom:).

Well Rand I hope you & Big Mike don't ever have any serious disabilities like arthritis that prevent you from horsing that big ole wheel around. Otherwise I guess you'd just give up driving. I on the other hand installed a power box & I've put about 30k miles on the 49 since then. I know of...

Glad to find this post. I'm getting ready to do this to a 59 Edsel Ranger.

ladies & gents here is the answer to your dreaded vapor Lock. This is the Davis Rods Vapor Lock Eliminator kit & is available for one easy installment of $19.95 + S&H. What you get is 8 clothes pins made from the finest Brazilian hardwood & instructions on how to attach them to your fuel line.

By the way, I'm running that setup w/o a booster & find no need for one. Also have Davis Rod front discs. They work great.
