by topher5150I have a mid-80s 351w that I put in my 47 Ford. The issue that I'm having is, I think it's a 351 bracket, which puts the pump too far out.
I found this 302 bracket D80C-3C511-AA and wondering if this would bring the pump in closer?

by wrndlnI have a question about the proper assembly of drum taillight parts. I am attaching some pictures of the three parts I have now - the nickel plated housing, the lense and the metal STOP plate. However after looking at Bratton's catalog, it shows two additional parts for drum taillights. The first is a lense gasket in the second picture and 2 small cork looking gaskets in the third picture.

by Buck HowardI'm still trying to find a good wiring schematic. There's one power wire running to the passenger side seat the little one I'm missing may just be for the seats that come with the memory function which I don't have. I tore more of the truck apart to find a connection break but had no such luck seems it's connected to the dash harness.

I joined the local car club in the early 70's and we had several drives and picnics and car shows in local parking lots every year.
No trophies or entry fees, just got together and had fun like a large family outing.
Now the club is mostly hot rods and corvettes and you have to pay a entry fee for everything that they do.
The club is no longer a fun family group, it...Today, 10:26 AM -

Reply to Good morning threadby copgibGood morning everyone. I had my electrican come out and check my building fans that are not working as they used too.

So, I will be replacing my ceiling fans and switches with new updated ones and while I am at it I will replace my old overhead lights with LED's. Have a good day! Hoote...Today, 10:19 AM

Reply to TIRE GAUGESDon,
I'm looking for a Schrader tire gauge, with a Ford script, but where the units are in kg (kilograms).
I have one, but it is very warn on the outside. Stamped on the end of the plunger is "1 to 4 kg" and on the side of the barrel, under the Ford script, is stamped "RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE, KILOGRAMMES 2.500".

Reply to EVR questionby L JonesThat looks like one of Toms for the long generator.
The ones for the powerhouse were different.
If you are using a diode cutout you will need to cut a wire.

So far they have all been sanded off.

by wrndlnI bought an EVR (Electronic Voltage Regulator) at MARC swap meet a few years ago. I got a pretty good deal on it. I think it is one made by the late Tom Wesenberg.

I am not sure if Tom's regulators work on both powerhouse and long generators or he made different ones for each style generator. My question is: Will this EVR...Today, 12:04 AM

Reply to Installing distributor bushingsby Bill GI just pressed a pair in on Friday from each end. I pressed them in with a friend's press, and he fortunately has the reamer too. Everything went well. On the top one, I had heard of cracking it, but I made sure it started absolutely straight and put some oil on it to keep it from binding. Maybe I should have used the vise to press them in, but all did go well with the press.Yesterday, 08:29 PM
