Private Classifieds / New never used Sniper fuel injection system
« on: August 03, 2026, 12:25:48 PM »
Since I can no longer work on my cars I have decided to sell the parts in my parts room.
Brand new, never used , I did take the throttle body unit out and set it on my Track heat intake to check the fit when I first got it.
This is the complete kit with the wiring, fuel pump kit etc.
I also have the progressive linkage kit that I will include with it and Earls vapor lock fuel line.
$1550 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.
Please add 2 % if paying with Pay Pal.
Thanks

FE Technical Forum / Re: Loose bearing clearances
« on: June 10, 2026, 09:20:13 AM »
Showing my age here but in the 60's and 70's it was common practice for us to run our circle track engine's with looser rod and main clearance.
The theory was the looser clearance allowed more rpm and faster run up coming out of the corner's.
Also note we normally rebuilt our engines 2 or 3 times a year unless they blew up.

And don't forget the amp rating of your wires. That is the reason I decided against it.
I didn't want to replace all my power wire's with 10 AWG wire which is only rated for 30 amp's.

Another thing to consider is the amp draw on these.
I researched them while replacing the AC unit in my 71 Ranchero and found the smallest draw was 80 amp's continous.
I though that was way to much draw on my electrical system.

After 50 years as an off and on mechanic that is the reason I have no engineer friends including my cousin who is a GM design engineer.

that is one hell of a good looking engine.
I hope you have the #5 rod fixed and wish I was a little younger and had a boatload of money so I could still work on these type of engine's.
Good luck with it.
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

My e mail host since 99 has decided to stop hosting e mail accounts and stopped everything on the 17th.
I can't find out how to change it in the profile folder.
How do I change it.

Private Classifieds / Doug Nash C-6 overdrive with pictures added.
« on: April 07, 2026, 07:22:33 AM »
Still cleaning out my shop and found a complete OD unit.
The only thing it needs is a main shaft bearing which is the same as the top loader main shaft bearing. It turn's good but I noticed a catch while hand turning it.
Has the C-6 tail shaft and stubby drive shaft.
The only thing I don't have is the under dash mounted  cable control which you can buy at any truck supply storeand the speedo cable broke in half but will include the old one so you can make a new one..
$650.00 plus shipping.
If any interest I will post picture's.
The pictures with the case cracked open I took not wanting to break it open but decided to open it up for another inspection.
It will need some bolt's that have been lost and 1 washer under one of the gear set's.
I do have somewhere all the assembly manuals and part's numbers you will need to assemble.

My last balance was from 0 to 1 gram on the machine.
If i remember right GM considers 30 grams as good and Ford want's 16 grams so I all ways thought that anything under 5 grams was good enough for the FE engine considering the rpm limit's of the engine.
I all ways wondered if the weight of the oil made any difference ie does 0-5 weight weigh less then straight 30 W.

Private Classifieds / 1963 2 door Boxtop- little rust. Pictures.
« on: February 11, 2026, 01:46:41 PM »
I have my 63 back after the buyer's wife said no.
Anyway it is in primer [thin] and I was going to replace the body bushings so it is stripped. i have removed about everything but the dash is still installed. Very nice floor and trunk
It will need a new windshield thanks to the neighbors kid's rock throwing practice. Front clip disassembled and in primer sealer.
New gas tank. New rear shock's.
Factory console with shifter. I think I have all chrome for it. Car did not come with console.No hole in floor for shifter.
Buckets have been sold.
Rear seat is ragged but can be recovered.
Will need normal repair for a over 60 year old car but the work is started.Bolts are another matter.
I have all exterior and interior chrome for the car.
Well Have to be picked up in Oklahoma.
Inspecting the car It has developed some surface rust and I did find some pinhole rust under the gas pedal and a small [3 inch] rust though in the trunk.
That is what happens when you leave a car to sit in the shop for 10 year's. To much sickness in the family to keep up with it.
Will post more pictures tomorrow or the next day as I am not sure how many this forum will allow in one download. I have about 20 more. If any interest I will post the rest of them .
$3500.00 Cash. Very Firm on price.
Thanks
