Looking for someone with experience in Central Florida to rebuild a SW 240A electric fuel pump with gaskets suitable for 93 octane 10% ethanol pump gas.
I have the gaskets, but they did not come with any instructions. Any help will be appreciated. Would like someone local so I can watch and learn if all possible.

Lucas fog lights on Pittsburgh Craig's List for $800. Look like they need quite a bit of work and have a cracked lense, but if you need.

Was wondering if anyone has any first-hand knowledge of the 68 reproduction interior quarter panels that NPD sells as well as the trap door panels. Since I started removing and replacing the windshield and polishing the rear glass, I figured it is a good time to restore or replace some of the interior parts that look a little worn. My quarter vent panels are pitted and was wondering if it would be best to just replace them or replace the whole panels? It appears that to remove the original vents, it would require grinding off the studs that appear to ne peened over? Any insight would be appreciated. In addition, my trap door pannel has eight holes drilled for previous speaker installation. How are the reproduction trap door panels available?

Thanks for any help and insight as the comments are always appreciated.

Anyone have a recommendation on best 68 date coded Carlite tinted windshield supplier? I've seen ECS Automotive Concepts mentioned.

I want to be sure that the windshield is a Carlite and that the tinted with blue band is a concourse approved windshield.

Thank you.

Any 351-C experts able to help with identifying 4-V quench heads? The car I'm looking at has a 4 cast into the head next to the valve cover flange. I remember that there are two markings. One with just the 4 and another with a 4 and a dot casting. I thought the 4 with a dot are the quench heads for higher compression.

Can anyone confirm?

Thank you.

Need help / advise on issue with a 482 custom stroker crate engine tune. I'm still getting a serious bog under load. I'm using a Quick Fuels Q-Series 750 with the following current settings. They are as follows:

Primary jet #74
Secondary jet#84 with jet extensions
Primary power valve #45
Secondary power valve: plugged
Primary nozzle: #31
Secondary nozzle: #31
Accelerator pump: 30 cc primary & secondary
Pump cam: Pink #2 position

Cam is a Comp Cams solid roller
Intake: .691
Exhaust: .702
Lobe separation 112 degrees

Idle set at 950 rpm with 9" vacuum. Vacuum increases to approximately 14" at 2,000 rpm (checked with no load).

When trying to get the car moving, I'm getting a terrible bog and a slight lean backfire, so I know I need to get more initial fuel with the accelerator pump and cam as well as increasing the primary nozzle. I'm think I need to go to the green cam #2 position and increase to a #35 primary nozzle. My question is do I need to change the power valve also or? I'm lost on how to best size the power valve. The idle vacuum seems like the #45 is OK, but I don't know if I should change to a #55 or #65.

The engine dyno #'s are very good, but it was dyno'd from 4,600 rpm to 6,600 rpm, so no info on low end.

Any help or advise is greatly appreciate. The neighbor are starting to get angry with the holeshots to get the car moving.

Thank you.
