Last weekend I thought I had a coil or module acting up. Breaking up at high rpm.started checking it out today and discovered the voltage to the coil is about 3-8 but mostly 3 volts and jumping around like crazy. Alternator good at 14v. Also 14 at ballast. But the coil wire goes into a harness...

Hi everybody. Quick question. Will the orange box just die or can it break up under hard acceleration? I suspect a coil but this happened last weekend and it was pretty hot out and we were running hard. I’m asking because this has never happened before and I have a new coil. Thanks!

Doing a fuel pump today and it’s hot! Like ambient temperature hot. Put some vasoline on the fuel pump push rod and it kept sliding out. Ok, maybe a little more annnnnnd slide out again. Ok, maybe a little higher on the shaft. Annnnd slide out again. After 20 minutes in the freezer (rod and...

This is a Ford 429 BB I have at work. Machine shop checked heads and put on new double springs to match the cam we bought from them. So easy right? New cam, lifters, and check heads. Flat hydraulic tappet no adjustment. POS didn’t last 5 minutes and we can’t figure out why except crappy parts...

The RR doesn’t have a radio so I decided to put my gauges in its place on a lexan plate. Still need to paint it. Hope it turns out good.

The bird needs some new shoes. Currently have BF radials. It’s a street car but want a little more traction. The Hoosier tires say dot but the fine print says not for highway use. The M/T might be an option but look close to the BF. The car does some highway miles but mostly want to launch...

I wanted to ask you guys, from experience what brand heads do you like the most? Out of the box bolt on. Which one has the highest cfm flow? Thanks

Is there another site you guys like other tha FABO? All the ads here are **** and waaaay too many. I normally leave after about 15 minutes because I can’t read what I want to.

A friend stated his dragster would be expensive to get back running because it has sat for over 5 years. Mentioned this and that and valve springs would be no good. That made me think about my car that sat a long time. 440 aluminum head. I have vacuum flutter at idle. Should I replace my springs...

Been thinking about where and how to make and mount an oh **** handle for my 69 RR. I’ve got a bench seat and would like some more control other than just the steering wheel. Gets slippery and roudy sometimes. Somewhere for my left hand to hold on to. Has anybody done or seen this? Pics or...

Hey everybody. I need some instruction on setting ignition curve. Specifically, how do I know what my engine needs? What rpm to be all in? And then vacuum advance. A step by step in order of how to do this would be greatly appreciated. It’s a 440 with electronic ignition, not msd. And then...

So thinking about pushrod length, other than where the rocker meets the valve tip. The cam controls the amount of lift. If I have no lash is the length important? Does it depend on solid or hydraulic lifters? I think yes but buddy says no. What do you all think?

I still get a rush from driving my bird. I call it the Goose. Sometimes the adrenaline forces me to cut a drive short and just come on back home. Raw power and not too stable at 100. Wow! This car is a blast!

Hi members. I’m sure describing a noise on a post isn’t going to go to well but I will try anyway. I have a whomp whomp noise between 60-80. It doesn’t change “that much” whether on/off the throttle. But it gets loud and very rhythmic. Almost sounds like something is going to break. There is no...

I upgraded the round back to a square back on the 69 RR. I ran a 10g wire directly from the alt to the starter relay and left the existing wiring in place. I still have the 1 wire voltage regulator. I grounded one of the field terminals to the alt case. Randomly picked one. Anything else I...

Today I finally got my front disc power brake conversion completed on the 69 bird. So exciting and they work great! Then I drove to my dad’s house to put the bagger on the mower for leaf season. I was ready to leave and go find a mustang or something to embarrass but no start. Just clicking. So...

I need an education for my 69RR. My rear “passenger” size tires are dry rotted and need replacement. I think 15” but my car is not here right now. Anyway, if I choose a Mickey or whatever how is it done? I think currently I have an 8”rim and would like to keep it that size. Measure the overall...

Hey everybody. I am wondering what is the easiest or most complete kit to convert front drums to disc for a 69 Roadrunner. I would like a kit that has the master and everything. Even the proporsioning valve. I’m not interested in new knuckles and all that. I was wanting to keep this car as...

Wondering what the general consensus is on a fluid damper. Yes, they are expensive. The claim is they should be used on a modified engine but the 440 is internally balanced. Waste of $? Just want to hear the community’s opinions. Thanx

Can you guys post up some sounds of your exhaust? I am thinking of a flow master for my ride but of course can’t keep replacing mufflers to find out which one I like. Thanks.
