    What did you do to your car today?

    Yesterday morning I went to go fill her up (13 gals @ 8.5 smiles/gal) after I went through $40/day last 🇺🇸 weekend. I then took a cruise into N IL to check on a picket line and make sure the guys had plenty of water and check their temps… I also decided I was going to try to not drive her like...

    351 engine tear down

    Looking good. Did you put a dab of silicone on the ends of the seals before you put the bearing cap on?

    It's a GASSS

    To me it’s zero for my carb/engine set up. I can’t speak for anyone else but where I live we “currently” have those options. Bouncing between premium UL and corn fed will always perform differently agree?

    One of those days

    You are right on point with a 2V and torque is adequate for one wheel peels in 1st gear, so your next question is what are your desires in driving the car? How fast do you want it to go divided by how much cabbage are you willing to drop + how fast do you want to drop the cash = your own...

    It's a GASSS

    This morning in SE WI: 87 w/10% @ 4.89 / 88 w/15% @ 4.85 / 91 no eth @ 5.46 / 93 no eth @ 5.85. I don’t really notice a big diff between 91 or 93, but have never put any corn in my tank because it will affect jetting and of course, timing in a carb’d set up.

    351 Cleveland harmonic balancer slipped photos

    Either because a “made in china” tappet cam washed out the #2 exhaust valve lobe, or the damper just decided to cash it in and enough was enough. To me there were no obvious signs of degradation with the “old one” when the previous engine build was going together as it went on as normal and...

    New problem, engine randomly dies, no spark

    Glad to hear that you found the gremlin. I went through a similar situation a few years ago and mine was the connection on the I post of the starter relay as they are M/F socket connectors and for some reason were worn out and loose enough for intermittent contact.

    Update: Fuel issue

    * And also no more guns for thee, only me says king t. Sharpen those EDC spoons as it may be your last line of defense!

    Tracking down old owners?

    As for mine, I don’t want to romanticize it’s history because I wasn’t around and didn’t have anything to do with the previous life. As I see it, that would be like being interested in all the previous guys my wife “spent time with”. After we met, hearing about the most recent guy is inevitable...

    Oil pressure sending unit

    My bad on that carb, here is who I used for the 2V.

    Oil pressure sending unit

    I would not use them. I used the “Carburetor Shop” out of MS back when my 2V was in the car and it was literally plug and play even with the electric choke.

    Had a tire explode today

    There has been alot of recent thread/posts on that subject since March so start searching. I roll on 15x8 M500’s.

    Had a tire explode today

    Wow, thankfully you felt the vibe and whoa-ed down before disaster and that you stayed safe! That type of failure across the entire tread face is rare but did happen to my wife when she hit a very large pothole and broke the bands. Upon pulling up to save my damsel in distress I zipped my lips...

    351c 2v Engine on Craigslist

    @all… I just borrowed momma’s flatbread pizza sized Iphone 20 or whatever it is and yes its a *2 and not an optical illusion (for me). I still love my Iphone 5 even she she lets me down once in a while.

    Living with Vette instead of Stang

    The Turks with pointed boots should have some souped up Manza’s still remaining over there as well.

    351c 2v Engine on Craigslist

    On the pic of the head’s upper right corner see a *4 on my Iphone screen expanded out as clear as I can go. Whatever, $400 is a good deal if the guy guaranties the engine and all bolt ons are rebuildable.

    Findings in my Oil-Pan

    With the pan off is a great time to inspect the rear main seal and see if it is the rope one (I would then replace regardless and sh-t can the index pin) or if it’s not, decide if it looks sketchy and needs replacement.
