FE Technical Forum / Rear main sealing
« on: November 26, 2018, 09:57:14 AM »
I have been told by people in the seal business that a small percentage of rear main lip seal conversion leaks are caused by variance in the seal cavity. It is said that since a rope style seal was to be used the tolerance for the cavity was not held particularly close as it would not matter with the rope seal. I believe the number was around 8%. Does this theory hold water,or oil,sorry.

FE Technical Forum / lip seal rear main

Are there any good lip seal rear main products for the FE on the market? I have had good luck with Best Gasket seals on other type engines.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Sidewinder fuel distribution

Thanks everyone for the response. The 390 seemed to like the sidewinder intake along with a ford c/sa cheater cam adjustable rockers adjusted to the top of travel and about .080 off the heads. Would run 13.90 at 101 with stock exhaust. Beat every 396 chevelle in town!

FE Technical Forum / Sidewinder fuel distribution
« on: November 18, 2018, 12:56:41 PM »
Hello all, I am new here so this post may not be quite up to speed. I have been reading Jay Brown's intake comparo book with great interest. In regard to the sidewinder intake fuel distribution problem; in 1967 I put one of these manifolds on my 390 mustang. At the time the word was that the carb. offset to the left was done to equalize fuel mixture on the NASCAR tracks where centrifugal force from turning left caused the right hand cylinders to run rich. I figure I might be just old enough that maybe others never heard this theory. Any comments?
