FE Technical Forum / 67-72 Bumpside LMC Exhaust
« on: September 01, 2025, 10:09:12 AM »
#SickofRustyHeaders

Has anyone bought the LMC Dual Exhaust Exhaust lately?

Actually Mandel Bent? Fit OK? Arrived undamaged? If you got turbo mufflers what were they?

I haven't done it in a Faiirlane but i'm with Ross. Ive done it in a truck and I would take the motor out if i had to do it again.

What Brent and kidd said.

I absolutely would not use the same lifters.

FE Technical Forum / Flat Tappet Cam Cores.
« on: August 08, 2025, 08:13:28 AM »
We heard a while back that a lot of these were going away and a lot of flat tappets for various engines went out of stock with no ETAs.

I happened to notice one of the big vendors has Howards "CJ" cams in stock after showing NLA...

Did we get a new core manufacturer and if so are they any good?

(This is purely academic, I'm not buying one.)

AGREE

More specifically based on these numbers installed as ground IVC is 61.5.

You should go look at some of brents cam videos start with the one about common mistakes in picking cams.

I think the group is going to need a definition of "well built" and "close to 10:1" to go further.

Agree with clean dan.

Also have to keep in mind with very few exceptions (like Brent and Powell) the tube of you is  entertainment...

Isn't UT the one that outed the car at Kiwis after he promised not to and got Kiwi in lukewarm water with his customer? Or at least that was the story.

I had a car (not an FE) act like that and it was the advance weights sticking.

/in that particular case when it was idling high i could bump the clutch and it would idle down.

I hear what you're saying.

I'm about 20 minutes form just putting the pro billet with the regular cap back in it.

I feel about HEI caps about like Brent feels about RED mid caps.

As to my assumption about shorter toward front and longest at back, Close... not quite though...

FE Technical Forum / Plug wire lengths.
« on: February 02, 2025, 08:51:44 PM »
OK, switched to a Dual Sync Distributor which requires HEI style Wires.

Got MSD 31323

Which list this as an application:

Make:
FORD
Model:
F-250
Submodel:
CUSTOM
Beginning Year:
1975
Ending Year:
1975
Engine Type:
V8
Liter:
5.9
CID:
360
Engine Family:
FORD BIG BLOCK FE V8 GAS
Engine Size:
5.9L/360
Engine VIN Code:
Y

And the following wire numbers lengths:

1 Cylinder 24”
2 Cylinder 23”
3 Cylinder 37”
4 Cylinder 31”
5 Cylinder 25”
6 Cylinder 37”
7 Cylinder 28”
8 Cylinder 34”

I followed this and they fit poorly, in retrospect this doesn't look right? Shouldn't  1/5 be short 2/6 longer, 3/7 longer still and 4/8 longest.

Alternately does anyone know of a good fitting set or the lengths of the factory wires?
