    ticking...

    Hi there again! Any thoughts why when I start my 351C when it is hot, there is a ticking noise sounds like it is from lifters for about 3-5 seconds until everything quiets down? It doesnt do it cold, only when hot,

    PCV... to be or not to be

    I used my original PCV on passenger side, plumbed to carb. and then plumbed oil breather cap to air cleaner base. I even made a linkage extension yesterday for my kick-down rod! I was on a roll. Now hopefully all is as it should be...

    PCV... to be or not to be

    I have nice Ford racing valve covers on my 351 C. after my rebuild, here is my latest query. On the passenger side rear valve cover there is a plastic elbow that was on the original valve covers I took off, so I plumbed that to my breather. Now on the front drivers side, there is a nice Ford...

    Orange peel

    Well guys, I have buffed and waxed boats before without going through gelcoat,so I am going for it, I have this 3m stuff in the 4 litre container that is fairly agressive, so I will start with wet 1200 and then use the 3M compound and then wax with buffer. I am going to try, the worst I can do...

    Timing, where are you?

    Hi there, I am running my electronic HEI 14 degrees before TDC on my 73 351 C. Where does everyone else run there timing at? 14 seems to be where it likes to run. Will it do any damage to engine running at 14? I THINK it is supposed to be at 10?

    working great and then.. BAM!

    Hi, it is a new carb. (prior to the backfires),

    working great and then.. BAM!

    Yes, I had to change the balancer on the front of the crank upon close inspection, apparantly I ruined it by using the wrong puller to remove it during the rebuild(live and learn). Now I reset the timing, (I learned how and bought a timing light), it seems to like 14 degrees best. But once...

    working great and then.. BAM!

    Hello again, so my 351 C was working like a top after taking it to garage and having timing set and carb set up. Now only one week later it is back to back firing through the carb, which I guess is technically not a backfire, but I still call it that due to the hair loss on one side of my head...

    351 C no start ..... help

    Thank you, yes the cam does make it want to go into higher rpms so easily! I will replace springs and valves before too long, all I wanted to see was if the stock 2V heads would work well for me, as there are many opinions on that subject. I didnt want to spend a lot of money or time on the...

    351 C no start ..... help

    Problem solved! I set the timing to 14 degrees and adjusted the fuel-air mixture screws on the Holley and wham! the car works like a top. It idles good, starts good and seems to work well on the road. It seems to have lots of power even with the 2V heads. I may sell these Cobra Jet heads and cam...

    351 C no start ..... help

    I have no problem trying a 750 on there as I have one in the garage, I was very scared of over carburating as the car I had previous was way too much (twin 750 s). Do you think it would do any good advancing timing a few degrees? Or do you think it is strictly a fuel issue? I suspect it is fuel...

    351 C no start ..... help

    Yes this is the cam, I put a 600 cfm Holley on it, yes I checked pushrod length, and no I did not change valve springs and no I did not change rear end gears yet, nor did I change torque convertor. Would the timing of 10 degrees cause the engine to act like this upon acceleration? I will go out...

    Dizzy's making me dizzy

    I put an HEI system from summit on my car and here is my thoughts on that install. Firstly, it hits my rad hose so I have to modify that which really is no big deal I suppose. I think I can cut maybe 1.5 inches off the hose to allow it to sit down farther which should clear the dizzy. Secondly I...
