You guys are really good. This is the place to go to get really good advice. My problem was fuel. The car has a new fuel tank and the copper tubing line to the engine runs on the passenger side. I added another electric fuel pump in line and the car runs great. I will reposition the proper size...

An additional picture of a grey wire with a spade connector on it going nowhere and it comes out of the distributor.

Thanks for all the great information. I should have posted originally that it has a modern Holley carb, pointless distributor, electric fuel pump. I have posted some pictures as additional information. I am thinking again it is fuel delivery. I installed a clear view fuel filter and watched as I...

I have a 1955 Tbird with 292ci, 3 speed trans, that won't keep running. It starts great, idles fine but when you drive it or just rev it up it will die within 30 to 45 seconds. It has a new Holley (4R203). I have adjusted the floats, air/fuel screw. The fuel filter is clear and I even removed it...

Great stuff. It may take me 10 rereads to try and digest all these good comments. I am currently thinking a world-class T5 out of a mustang (1985-1996).There are a few mustangs in my local wrecking yard to check out. Thanks to all who commented.

Hi All, I have a '48 (59 block) coming out of the machine shop soon and am trying to decide on the transmission. I have found several late 80's Ford Ranger manual trans at my local junk yard and would like to know anyone's opinion of them for my build. The Ranger transmissions range in vintage...

Thanks for the great replies.

Thanks JSeery and 51 Merc-CT. The block and parts are off to the Machine Shop next week.

Good Morning, I am new to the Barn and would like to get some thoughts regarding my new project to put together a street rod. I have '30 Vic with a later model flathead. The bore measures 3.22 and bell housing has a "59" with a stamp "D163 X".
