anyone know where I can get instructions for this camber-caster gage? Have searched the net but can not find anything on a 2540 gage. An alignment shop loaned one to me but it has only brief description on it's use.

So.. I watched a video and some motor garu and he said the by-pass valve in an oil filter opens... or... closes, which ever, at about 20 # and above that all the oil by-passes the filter element. If that was true, any engine that maintained oil pressure at 20# and above, at idle and above would...

well decided I'm not pulling the Fordomatic out for about the 20th time to solve the L to H delay in shifting problem. Found out if I run the car in reverse with e brake on, for about 5-8 min to get it warm, it shifts like a charm

for something to do, we took 4 laps around Watkins Glen international raceway this morning. Was a hoot! found out a '60 ford with drum brakes will never make a road race car!

So I removed the intake and heads('60 292) to do some cleaning and to check out the valves. also replaced both rocker arm shafts and 3 rockers that were galled badly. with the heads, off I cranked the engine and very little oil visible coming up thru the block. all passageways in heads and...

So after grenading our FM2 we found one out west. I cleaned the filter, installed new fluid (3 times), installed newly rebuilt torque converter and rebuilt front pump. It worked perfectly..for about 6 weeks. then started to not shift out of low without driving a block or so. has gotten...

Have a '60 ford steering box and thought I'd check the lub. Have a Ford manual that gives all info on rebuilding the box but nothing on refilling. found in lub. section to use Ford 8BA-19578A lub which I assume is long gone. What lub would work and how would it be added to the steering box ? I...

So our 2 speed Fordomatic is toast and I found a '57 3 speed complete. I see they sell the newer style flexplate to replace the riveted type. My question is, instead of buying a new flexplate IF the one I'm getting is the riveted style, can't I just redrill our F/M/2 flexplate (3 bolt converter)...

Anyone know if a 2 sp fordomatic from a 292 Y-block will fit a 352 FE engine? I'm thinking the 2 are completely different bell housing bolt patterns.

Have seen some discussion on stock/ aftermarket stromberg carbs. Check halaboutit.com for complete carbs and parts.

broke the tailshaft housing on our 1960 ford fairlane 500 fordomatic 2 speed. anyone have any leads? has to be 19" long and only a 2 speed will work, as far as I can tell

So after grenading our 1960 fordomatic , we're thinking of changing to a C-4. Adapter kits to a Y-block are available. so question is, from what I can find C-4's were used from '64-'81 in 6 cyl's and SBF. Is there a difference between a 6 cyl C-4 and a SBF C-4? bellhousing bolt pattern or...

I have a '60 292 Y-block with a 2 speed fordomatic that grenaded itself 3 days ago. I'm wondering if a 3 speed cruisomatic would work as a replacement. My ford shop manual lists 2 speed fordomatics as used with 292 y-blocks and 352. Fluid pressure settings are different between the 2 engines but...

Looking for a good or rebuildable Ford 2 speed fordomatic for my '60 ford 292 Y-block. hopefully in the NY, Pa area more or less.

Our '60 was lowered by p.o. about 4". Today I checked the U-joint angles with a laser and found that a straight line from the trans was about 2" lower than the pinion by 2 deg. The pinion angle was dead on the trans output shaft. So I figured if I put 2 deg. shim in the rear to aim the pinion up...

I have looked hi & low trying to find P/N's for Motorcraft points & condenser. I've found standard parts and off brands but no Motorcraft. Any info or recommendations if no Motorcraft available -thanks

I was looking at a ford turn signal ***'y that lists the part number as 9BA 13341A. What does the 9BA stand for? It lists for a '60 ford but I can't find any info on a ford part number that start with 9BA.

I am looking for window channel runs for my '60 Ford. Mine are 5/8" X 5/8" with stainless bead on both sides. runs I removed say Standard Products Co. but I've had no luck with them or literally a hundred auto supply houses. Anyone got any idea who would have these?

Am going to do some work on my trans and read a few articles that the fluid filter needs to be only washed out and not replaced. Any thoughts?

So I got into a discussion here about replacing the existing road draft system with a PCV set-up. Got mixed reviews as to if it would suck oil if the PCV valve was installed in the road draft position as opposed to in the valley pan as later models. Came across a pic of 1961 Ford vent system...
