Honestly....when you said it was fixed I was puzzled by your description of the "fix". I was thinking what you described would have most likely made for a wandering misfire...not specific to a particular cylinder. When I made my suggestions I wasn't really thinking/realizing that most people...

Come on guys.....I kinda like it. My Mach had a receiver hitch when I first got it. Looked tough. Definitely a 70's look. Now if that's all metal and not bondo....I like it even better! 429cj engine...Hoo Ha, I bid on it

That's good to know as mine is leaking a little but still tight and the variable ratio also. I didn't like the idea of replacing it.

You left out a 70/71 429 s/cj block: DOVE-A, this is the casting #, some, not all, were 4-bolt main. This is for Torino....not sure of the other marques. The D5TE block# is incorrect obviously....that is a 1975 460" truck block

Glad you got it figured out. Grant

That's impressive knowledge. You forgot to mention it's one of the FASTEST arthropods also! :D

I have a 70 Torino Cobra 429 drag pac that everyone thought was a charger. It had the Dukes of Hazard wheels when I first got it and hideaway headlights I put on it. (since removed) I got a lot of "Nice Charger!" comments. Ha ha It outran all the Ford muscle of the day (even the Bosses) and...

Is it idling off the center carb only? If so, has it gotten a little colder weather wise lately? You might need to change jets in that one and I'd Definitely put a choke on the center carb. If it's idling off all three you could try the above and a different distributor and coil as well. Coil...

What they said, I almost always pull and install the engine/tranny together. As far as not making a mess.....I have several old driveline yokes that I stuff in the end of the tranny so no fluid coming out. You can get plastic versions as well.....

I bought an MSD dist and then decided not to use it for that very reason. I ended up using a Pertronix and flame thrower coil with my stock distributor. NO complaints....

My shop manual gives three positions for the balancer to be in...TDC, rotated 180 deg clockwise, and rotated 270 deg or 3/4 turn, and the appropriate valves to adjust in each position. I usually rotate the push rods with my fingers while tightening the rocker until the pushrod quits rotating...

I am also a SCI FI nut, if only because I am also an ALIEN....and it's interesting to see humans imagining the way things are out there... :D I think the opening scene in 2001 kinda lets the audience know what it's about. An ancient alien race which nurtures and helps "lower" life forms "grow"...

I have some D3ZE heads that had the small valves.... Pretty sure they came off a 74 GT Ranchero. I put the BIG valves in with some pocket work. Still have them fresh from machine shop....

Probably the spread bore? If so, I've decided to go square bore Holley flange.....so...unless it was fairly cheap....I'd only be interested because of the numbers and the fact that my car came with it. Grant

No, it could be almost any color, but it Would need the "options" to be truly exceptional,...... On the other hand, a plain "Jane" can be very rewarding. Especially if you are capable of "unconditional love". They ALL get you there....just in varying degrees of style.

Not with that car...unless you can remove a cross member....which that car does not, a removable one have.... I suppose you could lift it WAY up w a cherry picker.

No, "W" would be a C-4, "X" is an FMX...strong tranny

Did you look at all the pics?? That car is terminally twisted!
