SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Koni shocks; reset to lowest setting
« on: March 03, 2023, 01:24:26 PM »
 I've have a set of Konis that I removed from my 67 GT 350 years ago.  I do not remember where the setting was, so, before I mess something up I want to know if there is a way to tell when to stop turning the shock while setting the stiffness.
  Thanks

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / 428 camshaft selection, part II
« on: December 20, 2022, 05:46:55 PM »
 12/20/2022
  Recall that post from back in August of this year about cams for a 428?
 Just last Saturday I received the special ground hydraulic roller camshaft for my 428 CJ build.  It is going into my 67 Tribute car.
    I used Brent Lykins motorsports to order the cam.  He must have ordered it through Competition cams as that is the box it came in.  Street grind with hydraulic roller lifters.
  Ordered it back in August.  And it seems there were no cam "blanks" to be had.  This is why the extra time was required.  Happy building is about to start.

   I'm a little surprised this hasn't been posted already.
   This year's MCACN will feature a invitational Shelby display of 6 out of the 10 built 65 GT 350's known as the "Prototype Street Cars" according to MCACN's pre-event magazine. Car #10 and #13 will be displayed along with 4 other 65 Shelby prototypes.
   Chuck Cantwell is also to be at the display.

   More information can be found at www.MCACN.com

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Fair warning: Melling 57-HV oil pump
« on: October 03, 2022, 01:00:01 PM »
  Ran into this a few weeks back.  If you have received a Melling 57HV (big block Ford FE 352-390-406-427-428) oil pump, look at the plug that holds the pressure relief parts in.  IF it has a hole in the end, that hole will suck air in.  It is a defective oil pump.  I got this from a posting on the Ford FE forum.
  The good plug is blank - NO hole.

  The pump I returned to Rock Auto had this hole and had a date code of July 2022, the box stated "made in Mexico".

  Melling did not give me any date range of defective pumps.
 
  Just posting this so if you are having issues, look there first.  Luckily for me, I was not past the part where this would have been inside the engine already.
  By the way, this pump at this time has been dropped off the list of available pumps at Rock Auto.  Good move eh?

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Something missing on my shifter
« on: September 03, 2022, 02:42:51 PM »
  Check out the photos.
    I bought this shifter handle a few years back to install on my tribute car.  But, the handle you depress is not there, and, if you look at the photo of the Ford shifter, the Fomoco piece is not going to fit inside the new cool handle.
   So, is there an additional piece I can buy?  Any help is appreciated.

  Note: Unlike like my camshaft question a month ago, lets keep this "ON TOPIC" please.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Paxton carb box question
« on: July 22, 2022, 07:35:59 PM »
  I'll ask here before looking elsewhere:  Anyone know if a fuel injection type carb will fit inside our favorite "Cobra" Paxton carb box without a pile of cutting and welding?

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / 428 Camshaft selection
« on: July 22, 2022, 07:33:47 PM »
  7/22/2020
   Within a month or so I will be building a 428 for my tribute car.  The question is, what cam to order?
 the criteria:
   428 CJ block.  Stock stroke Scat crank, H beam rods, Trick Flow aluminum heads, Harlan sharp roller rocker are shafts. Forged 10:1 pistons
   Single 4 bbl Fuel injection carb.  This does not have to be the fastest car in town. Smooth idle desired.  The car has power brakes so vacuum to run that.  Likely 3:50 or 3:77 rear gears with automatic trans.
  The easy thing would be to run the 67 GT 390 cam like Tasca Ford used back then, BUT, I'd like to use a roller cam.
  So, any advice will be welcome.  Thanks
