1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: Windage Tray in a 428 COBRA JET oil pan
« on: October 07, 2023, 08:00:03 AM »
I think the idea of adding the windage tray comes from Ford's recommendation that these engines run an additional quart of oil.  Apparently, Ford thought that the extra oil level could interfere with the crankshaft, thus the windage tray.  I always ran the extra oil and a tray.


I share the concern about drainback, especially since the FE engines have a reputation for retaining a lot of oil in the upper part of the engine.  I drill drainback holes aligned over the main caps (where they are hidden from oil slinging from the rods) to hopefully improve drainback.  Might help and I don't think it hurts.  See picture.

The Lounge / Re: Sarasota Car Museum being forced to relocate
« on: August 21, 2023, 07:28:32 AM »
Sorry to learn that.  I'm so old, I remember when it opened. My folks started going down to Sarasota on vacations back in 1951 and eventually retired there. Back then, it was  Ringling Bros. Summer camp and I remember sitting in the stands as they filmed "The Greatest Show on Earth".  Sarasota was just a nice, sleepy little town on the TAMIAMI Trail. Now, it's "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous".


And this museum was "Hornes Cars of Yesterday" as I recall.

I'm not asking about the ignition wire  ::)   The lead wire from coil to distributor.  Not the wire from distributor cap to coil.

Bob - no, I am asking about the 90 degree black boot on the threaded coil post on the end of the lead wire to the distributor.

Interesting to see the black booted wire; does anyone reproduce this style?  Also, the cap clips look like they are zinc plated - is this the norm?

Dynomax Super Turbo were perfect on my old 428 CJ Torino.  Not loud or droning at cruise but nice sound on throttle.

If it is making a racket, it is unlikely to be a bearing.  Internal pump issue.  Thanks Pete for recommending me.

There were two of these at Mecum Kissimmee if you want to look up the sale price.  Very pretty color in person.

The Lounge / Re: What's the cheapest gas price you remember ?
« on: November 01, 2022, 09:22:33 PM »
19 cents a gallon in Perry, FL, which always had some sort of gas war going on.  This would have been early '60's.  When I was in school in Florida in early 70's, price for Amoco Premium shot up to 50 cents or so per gallon and I could no longer afford to make the 40 or 50 mile trip from Tampa to Sarasota on the weekends.

1969-1970 Boss 302/429 / Re: 1969 Boss 429 Temperature
« on: July 02, 2022, 07:42:06 AM »
I have notes from 10 years ago that the Echlin TS6628 will bring the temperature gauge back into range.  I know I installed one with success on my SCJ car.
