    Can't get my engine to quit "pinging".

    Interesting, perhaps my cyl rings or intake.... hardly any miles on it. It does seem to be a bit oily in the cylinders and plugs when pulled a couple. I went in with a snake camera and saw more oil than I thought I should... Didn't realize that could make it ping. I may just start breaking it in...

    Can't get my engine to quit "pinging".

    Oh no, The only time I hear it pinging is under a hard load at higher rpm's

    Can't get my engine to quit "pinging".

    I told my builder I was going to use my factory D2ZX- damper so to build it for that. He did however put a different aftermarket balancer on it which I need to check I guess since I pulled the aftermarket off and replaced it with my factory one. If it is neutral or even incorrectly balanced for...

    Engine Code Differences 351CJ and 351HO

    10 to 1 comp. Running non ethanol premium 92 oct. Closed chambered 4V stock iron heads with small dish pistons. Pretty good-sized cam which you would think bleeds some comp off... I'm going to take it out of storage and play with it some more... I could list cam specs if you like.

    Can't get my engine to quit "pinging".

    Great info. I have an R code Mach that I had to build an engine for. It's a roller stroker 408 now with 10 to 1 compression. I found a D2ZX- dampener for it but didn't realize it had it's own timing pointer. I can't seem to get a "ping" to go away while tuning it. Is it possible my stock pointer...

    Ignition Upgrade or Not

    Speaking of Pertronix I put them on pretty much ALL of my more or less stock engined cars if the original distributor is fairly tight and the advance is working properly. You get the factory look AND electronic ign. plus the factory advance curve that Ford designed for that engine...

    Ignition Upgrade or Not

    If it were me I'd just put a Good aftermarket coil on it. A Blaster 2 or other high energy coil would help the Unilite realize it's potential. Unless you need to rev limit the engine I don't really see the need for the box....jmo

    4 barrel carburetor

    Probably not your problem but when I bought my 72 'Q' code convertible it had a 600 cfm Holley carb on it. The car seemed pretty weak so I pulled the Holley.....HA! It had a spread bore intake and the Holley was a square bore.... The secondary throttle plates couldn't open! I eventually found a...

    Engine Stumbles

    Does it have a rebuilt distributor? I've had really bad luck with stock rebuilds. Same thing, stumbles as soon as the vacuum advance kicks in. Try disconnecting the vacuum and see what happens.

    Rusted gas tank...

    I tried the nuts and bolts once....ONCE! You're not going anywhere with the acid and motorcycle crap and it's not cheap! If you're trying to cheap it put on a really GOOD inline BIG filter.... the fuel injection ones work well. Hell, put on TWO....the final one should be clear so you can see...

    Hi from the UK

    Hi, welcome from WA state. It doesn't need to handle like a "wheelbarrow"! First put some performance coils up front and big sway bars front and rear. Then get subframe connectors w the X brace installed. The body flex on converts is horrible without it.....You'll be amazed at the difference...
