Not saying that it does. Just speculation on what the machinist MIGHT have meant…..

I wonder if the machine shop guy meant offsetting the ring gaps so they don’t line up.

Howdee and willkomen from Texas USA! I figured you meant in-line 6. A very very reliable engine!

You can get 600+HP with a more aggressive build but it will certainly co$t you. Realize that 600 hp in a 50year old car that was not designed for that kind of power is dangerous. The modern vehicles nowadays have computer controlled traction and suspension to better keep the car stabilized...

With a moderate Comp Cams cam, i am pulling 475 HP and 476 lbs of torque. That was with the Edelbrock 1411, 750 cfm carb. Now running the Holley Sniper. I also ditched the OEM distributor that had a Pertronix ignitor. I went with a dual sync Holley/MSD distributor. Those figures were on the...

I ended up going to three different machine shops to get my build done and dyno’d. I acquired a 351c block in excellent condition and picked up the 393 stroker rotating assembly from CNC Motor Sports and a pair of Trick Flow aluminum heads from Summit Racing with 72 cc chambers that gave me a...

All the inner and outer tie rod ends and the idler arm have been replaced along with the lower control arms and all the ball joints. The upper half of the rag joint is ancient but it fits the D end of the tilt shaft. The lower rag joint is new and fits nicely to the box spline shaft. The rag...

With all this steering talk going on, I have a question. I had my steering column rebuilt in 2019. Also replaced the power steering gearbox and a frankenjoint to adapt the tilt column to the box. The steering is still a little sloppy. I fine tuned the adjustment on the box but no effect...

I had a 1406 on my 72. Ran great until it didn’t. Bought a new one but not much better. After my stroker build, I purchased a 1411 750 CFM. Ran great till it didn’t. I stopped cheaping out and got a Holley Sniper and a dual sync distributor. Now I’m happy because my Stang starts and runs...

Last weekend I finally got the Holley Sniper and the Holley dual sync distributor up and running. Have been fighting back issues and knee problems now since June. I’m not much better but things gotta get done. I got fed up with the unreliable carburetor issues since my build. When I started...

Well…..in the Houston area, we get about 2 weeks of winter….about one or two day increments here and there starting in mid or late December and then thru the beginning of February. So there really is no hibernation needed. Global warming has been present here since I can remember. That means...

Sounds like you need to replace your fuel pump!

Welcome from Texas! She looks great! I’ll echo the earlier post. What parts are you seeking? Body? Engine? Brakes? Steering Cooling? etc.

There are two more of these holding the HVAC plenum to the firewall inside the cab.

Most young men have the attention span of a two year old. Even if he did train them they would forget everything learned in two weeks or find another job.

You can always go to Discount Tire for any questions regarding tire age and ask for interpretation of the serial number.

Welcome fellow Houstonian! I grew up in H Town but moved to League City 3 years ago. You can get a replacement dash pad in black from CJ Pony and the floor pans from near most vendors. All that is required for your restoration is $$$! For your engine, do you plan a build or getting a crate...

A Big Howdee from Texas and welcome aboard! Very slick survivor you have.
