Thanks

Well after a month of taking everything apart and replacing everything I finally threw up my hands up and hit the street today. Without a thermostat at 50 MPH I can burry the temp gauge on COLD. I am...

Thanks for your ideas, I can tell the difference when I use the fan pushing or pulling. The fan is as big as the radiator and when I run the engine I turn on the fan and still it heats up. I will...

Where do I...

Dave, Thanks for the reply. Where are you located? I have a Vintage Trailer being repaired in Kelso and will have to pick it up in the next few weeks so this could work out great. Thank you so much...

My 61 Ranchero acording to the VIn came with 3.23 to 1 gears. It has been swapped out with 4.11 to 1. Does anyone have 3.23 or 3.50 to sell me? I just dropped in the new 170 tonite, the stupid head...

I put on my 144 a new Weber Carb. I ordered it for another 2.4-L engine as a Ford I-6 was not part of their choises. It is running to lean and I need to fatten it up.

What size jets should I...

I have pulled my 144 and about to rebuild a 170. Are the blocks exactly the same? I may want to put the 170 crank in my 144 block to save a repair needed on the 170 Block.

Any one know?

Thanks for the info. I spent some time bending the ear of our local classic Mustang Parts House. He mentioned the Maveric 8" has 4-Lug and will have gears available.

Question on the C-4... High...
