Bored and Stroked is common in the old Ford lingo. In the interest of preserving the incredible knowledge in our Members history, I inquire; can you share your experience with square/oversquare vs. just stroked vs. just bored? I know Ol' Ron will have something here as well as many others. I...

Jim Linder (Bubba) as most of us now know is retired...a great resource and icon. Wish him well with his health challenges. I have a Mallory I need tuned in for my '51 8BA...I can dismantle, ultrasonically and manually clean...but then there is the question of mechanical advance benching. I...

Been driving the car for a year, and now really have the hang of using my '51's Borg Warner O/D transmission...what a pleasure to drive with. It's my first, and I can't imagine a better setup for the Custom sedan. Any comments or advice on how to keep this gem in top shape? Changing gear lube...

Can I do it...(fairly handy) or should I send it off...and who do you recommend? I'm in Massachusetts. Thanks!

Available from a bunch of sources all claim to be the best, and the price varies somewhat. I suspect these are being made by only one or two manufacturers and being retailed by many providers. Anyone have suggestions or comments? The seals are beginning to weep on my originals...so I am getting...

Sometimes they still test fine...sometimes they don't. Can you cut the cans open, dig out the old material and solder in a Sprague Orange Drop cap with the right mF and fill with silicone and reassemble? They are such great looking relics that shouldn't be thrown away unnecessarily.

I have a stash...and Bubba if you're reading this, they'll end up at your shop...including the coveted brown...which seems sound, but has the typical oxidation. Any tips how to bring back the beauty? Also...can you replace the carbons with the new Mallory parts available? I have a couple with...

This thing I know isn't a "94"...but...the throttle bores and base match an AA-1 type, and this match is in the fuel bowl bores as well. The 1.0625" (1-1/16ths) venturi pinch would clearly change flow characteristics, but offer (depending on source) CFM closer to the theoretical needs of a stock...
