Is Todd Oelerich (sp?) still selling that nice on-engine valve spring compressor? Can't find mine, and need to install some inner springs. Or a similar one? Thanks

Anyone used the Mahle valve cover gaskets? Wondering how thick they are? Been using the Mr Gasket 275's with good results, decent thickness, but the price is a little stiff. Thanks!

Got lucky, after shaking the dice- ran across this for sale, and also some PIE heads, which I have a couple sets of. Wondered/hoped maybe this was made for them. Seller was very helpful with some port measurements that seemed to match, so I bought it- and is is indeed made for the PIE ports. Price was reasonable too- happier than a two-dicked dog in a fire hydrant factory!

    Just picked this up on a swap for FE parts. 64 F100 shortbed stepside, very solid and straight, bed wood has been replaced at some point. Lowered a bit, and I have my eye on a set of Torque Thrust clones in the right bolt pattern. '69 390/C6 runs great, has headers and a Champion alum radiator, B&M ratchet shifter and an Autometer 5" tach w/ shift light. Runs n drives well, clean paper/ non op. Thinking about that 3+1 OD toploader for a little mileage, maybe a Streetmaster and small Holley or a 4100. Always figured that my 97 Exploder would go south someday, and I would find a home for the 5.0 with GT40 heads, AOD and 8.8 posi/ disc brakes- but it won't die... would be sweet in this thing. Just have to think IT RUNS- LEAVE IT BE...
    It also comes with cherry front & rear Jag suspensions......

OK, looking for hard facts from the experienced FE builders, not "I think- I read- I heard" please. Are the "steel" gears supplied with the MSD #85941 distributors compatible with steel solid roller cams from Comp etc? MSD advertises them for use with hydraulic roller cams, no mention of solid rollers. This gear is also sold as #85813. I called the tech line this morning for clarification, and the response  seemed very CYA, that they could not recommend the gear for use with aftermarket cams as they had no control over the type of material the cams were made from, contact the cam manufacturer blah blah, so a non-answer. He did state that the gears were "melonized steel". So, is this gear compatible with the steel solid rollers, and if not, what do the knowledgable builders use with the MSD distributors with the larger shaft and solid rollers? The Crane 34970-1 is (was?) for the stock Ford shaft size, and comes up as "not available" where I have looked

Nice solid 1957 Ranchero- has already been a hot rod, was taken apart for paint and never finished. Set up for FE and 4-spd, had a 390 / T10 in it- can supply FE engine mild or wild and transmission. Has tilt column and front disc brakes, and is pretty complete. Has stainless trim and some chrome has been replated. Slot mags can be included, negotiable. No seats, but I have purchased a good windshield for it

Planned on putting an FE in this one, just have too many, something has to go. Chopped 1951 Ford Shoebox, chop is well done, nice alignments all around. Has S10 front frame clip installed, and comes with a new 4-link rear suspension kit. Car is very complete with lots of spares, nice grille and dash, seat frames, bumpers etc. Hard work is done, car will be sweet when completed. Interesting trades/ FE engine stuff possibly considered- no junk! $3600  94558

Not looking for expert opinions or lowball offers from flippers, just  good condition rare parts. $600 shipped with insurance to the lower 48
