I would call Duff's to see what the measurement should be. It sounds like they may have made a mistake. Tom

is the ground totally level? have you put the rear of the frame on jack stands to remove any impact from the rear end? how does it sit with the driver in the seat. Tom

Serp belts will give you much less trouble. A single v-belt can't reliably handle more than 65 amps. I'm sure there will be some on here that are using single v-belts with bigger alternators, but Ford didn't ship any cars with big alternators and a single v-belt for a reason. Probably...

Right, I forgot about the ARBs. In that case, I suggest a small tank, the actual volume required by the ARB is very small. The ARB compressor has a small ( pint? size) tank. Tom

There are several writeups on the web. The basic system just takes an A/C compressor that fits the engine you are working with ( I used the mustang A/C pump on mine), then add a pressure cut off switch and some fittings. A tank is optional, but can help with running power tools and seating...

In my experience, the opposite is true. A 35x15x12 tire has about 30 gallons of air in it. The typical 2 gallon tank at 125 PSI, is enough air to raise the pressure in one tire by about 8 psi. Then it adds even 2 gallons to the volume that has to be pressurized for each of the remaining 3...

In my opinion the best option for OBA is an engine driven compressor. They are fast, can run power tools and air up you and your freinds quickly. If you can't do that then next best is probably a combination of a C02 tank and a good electric pump. The tank can seat beads or run tools for a...

Either the thermostat is stuck open, or the heater is on ( or bypassed with no valve) Tom

I was emissions exempt, so I never had it tested ( 67 and prior out of state are "not emissions controled"). I think my problem had to do with the hegos being way down in the collector on my headers. Smelled really bad with the hegos hooked up. Tom

Are you using single pump or dual pump/ accumulator set up? hot fuel in the accumulator or in a filter in front of the hp pump could cause this. fuel can boil in the filter and then the gas bubbles can get circulated through the fuel rail until everything cools down. Btw i had similar issues...

I used single stand copper wire. They sell it at home depot for wiring houses. Wire tie one end, compress the shock, then wire tie the other end. Just cut the wire after the install. Tom

There aren't any specific rules about working in the driveway-- just nothing that is an " unreasonable nuisance" can be done on the lot. Tom

They also require a current inspection sticker, but 35 year old vehicle are exempt from a safety inspection, so that seems ok. The rules do indicate you can't have "partial" vehicles, so I think anything like a frame off is out of the question. Tom

Moving to a new house with HOA rules in Jan ( all the way to Apex NC);D The new place has HOA rules that don't allow you to have a non-running or non-registered car on the property. How do you guys with similar rules manage to build EBs? Tom If I ever find a job, I plan to start a new EB...

Have you inspected the plugs? If they aren't firing it should be obvious. If they are then the timing light isn't accurate. The other option is bad plugs or wires. Tom Sent from my PD_Novel using Tapatalk

Someone did it a few years back, the down side is that you have to reverse the rear shackle to make it work. If you haven't noticed, the rear shackle pointing up, provides for better articulation than hanging down ( at least as far as I can tell). Another important thing to consider that...

I would be surprised if Danny ever put more than 15 psi in those tires. He knows how to wheel it, and he lives up there. If he got it stuck, then it was stuck. Tom

With a 3 1/2 inch lift you will want the shock mount as close to the inner fender as you can get it. This will keep you from bottoming the shock. You can mount it lower if you install lowered bump stops. To confirm, determine the distance between the two mounts assuming the suspension is...

My guess is you are hearing a rocker tap on a valve as it winds down. If the fuel is orange in the fuel rail, it could be rusty inside. I had that problem and the rust was getting into injectors causing them to stick open ( sound familiar?) BTW, if you unplug the MAF the ECU will fall back to...
