True but also Ford ran batches of intakes, heads ect You could very easi;y have parts with date codes 2-3 months older than the build date of the car I did read that whole article, very interest but nothing really on numbers matching Maybe you could clue me in on what numbers are supposed to match

Numbers matching is chevy talk, there is no such thing in the Ford world other than having consistent date codes. Not the same though. When I was young, I didn't think much of a 60, pretty ugly IMO. But a 60 Starliner could set in my garage anyday, Kinda like a Mustang, any coupe or...

Personally I think those heads are over rated or at least over priced. The earlier ones are not posted. I'm looking for the 58-early 59, 113 heads. Same big valves, a little less compression and all are posted. Later 59s still have the big valves but a little less compression. 60 and later all...

You can't really see the pcv, it is off the 2 big vac ports and Teed. 5.0 efi intake modified to use twin .98 2100s on my 260.

I'm running a 63 260 in my hotrod. My old valve covers are still around somewhere I think. I think the intake went to scrap because I built one. I also have a spare 64 260 on a stand. It does not have the front oil fill but there might be a plug on the timing cover for one. My 63 does not use a...

So if you disconnect the wire at the sender, does it go to empty? Touch the wire to ground and it should peg full. Pull the sender and do an ohm test full and empty positions and tell us what you get. LMC sells a lot of junk. Dennis Carpenter is first for quality.

None of those doors or panels were ever upholstered new. Also look on the bottom side of the door. This is where any rust will start. If you were here, I'd cut you a good deal on a nice set of doors. I have shipped them but that's a big task or me nowdays.

I've probably got a couple sets of the correct 15" wheels for a 59 F100. Not worth much if you drove in my yard but they do bring ok money plus shipping on ebay. Also have a set of bottle cab hubcaps that are pretty straight but need repainted. I think they are early 60s as the 59s were more smooth.

I dropped a junkyard 302 into a tourists blown up car, early 80s. Since a lot was different, I re-used his intake and other bits. Car ran like crap, backfired and opened up the muffler. After much head scratching I discovered the car was a California emissions 302 with the HO or 351 firing order...

About a year ago I needed a pump for my 59 pickup. The 3/4" shaft were unobtanium. I finally found a couple places that still had NOS and paid through the teeth for one. I must have found a dozen listings for a reman, mostly A1 Cardone but all out of stock, even A1's website.

A little off topic but I have a friend who has been putting those in Model As for years and used to sell the kit. No modifications required to stock cross member. He used a truck bell housing and built clutch linkage. I don't remember an adapter plate, just a redrill IIRC. Wishbones and drive...

I put a 332 into a 69 highboy once. I just made some plates from 1/2 stock, drilled the holes for the mounts and for the block. I did have to slot the motor mount holes in the towers a little to get the mount studs through. The engine will set a bit higher but it never seemed to be a problem

I only ever tried to flip one, on a 428 and there was enough bevel on the gear that it wouldn't let the starter drive disengage when the engine started. after that, I always just bought a new one. They are cheap.

There is a pretty complete Parklane at Jim's Auto Salvage in Sturgis
