The more accurate temp guns have adjustable emissivity so you can setup the gun for the type of material you are pointing it at, but they aren't cheap. I agree with the others, a wired probe hooked to a meter is your best bet. To improve your accuracy, try taping the probe tip to the block then...

Thanks for the heads up. Anybody know what channel Overhaulin is on? This sounds good, I'd love to record it.

Everything you mentioned sounds normal to me, if I am reading your mesage right. Are you just concerned about the spark or is there a problem with the battery draining?

Just replace the bolt and torque to 65# Don't forget to lubricate the threads and the underside of the bolt head or nut.

I'll take two. Thank you very much.

Those numbers are a little higher than average but not scarry high. You should be able to tell a high volume oil pump by the part number stamped on the metal tag bolted to the pump. All of the high volume pumps I have seen had a HV at the end of the part number. To compare them side by side , a...

I had a freeze plug leak once on my 72. I was in high school at the time, with no money and no idea how to replace it. I looked it over very carefully for any indication that it may fall out. It apeared to be seated in the hole properly. I dropped a bottle of barrs leak in the radiator and...

In my opinion, the limited slip is a good choice for you. I don't know where you wheel, but in the mud it will definitely help. Scotch

Thanks for all the replies. This is real helpful. Unfortunately my concrete guys can't help me. The floor has been poured for three months and already has an oil spot from a sub-contractor's air compressor :mad: . It looks like a 2 part epoxy might be the way to go. I have an account at...

I am building a new house and am excited to have my first garage. I want to apply some kind of sealer on the floor to prevent spills from soaking into the concrete. I can't decide if I should find some kind of floor paint or just spray Thompsons water sealer on it. I work in a machine shop with...

Listen to Trips. He has obviously been there before. Broken easy outs and broken taps will usually break apart with a smart blow from a punch. Another option is a die grinder and carbide. I only do this as a last resort and only with a well used carbide as it will break a few edges on it. Good...

Factory ford repair manual is the best reference I have found. It had all the info I needed when I did mine. Check out the book reviews on this site. I think it is the most recomended book there. I had to buy my set used because they have been out of print for many years. Good Luck Ryan

Hey if you don't want to drop over $1K for heads, talk to your local automotive machine shop. Some shops will give you common castings like these if you pay them for the machine work done to them.

I personally would only use a high volume oil pump if there is a known problem with a lack of oil pressure due to excessive oil clearance. HV pumps are only really needed in high rpm race-only engines and as a band aid in severely worn engines. If you want to use one, it should be fine. There...

I don't have any pics to give. but when I built mine I used a Motors manual that covered late 60s and 70s trucks. It was a dark green hard cover book that many libraries have. It had step by step assembly procedures and good pictures and diagrams. Good luck.

Another thing to consider is altitude. I don't know how high you are in MI, but as you go up the readings will go down.

The stamped "grooves" you are asking about face down against the heads and the raised surface that they create, face up against the manifold

I have a long cold winter ahead of me and no garage. I can't start any major modifications. I am headed to the boneyard to find some small projects to keep me busy. I'll be on the lookout for: rearview mirrors side mirrors headlight relays seatbelts radio antennas auxillary heaters rear seats...

There is only one Bronco in this world for me. :) Too bad its so damned ugly. :-U I bought a second one but it just wasn't the same so I sold it. I wish I would have grown attached to something with paint on it :)<br><br>Ryan
