FE Technical Forum / Re: remote mount for oil pressure sending unit
« on: October 08, 2026, 05:11:26 PM »
Sorry, I didn't say what car it is for, the 1966 Cyclone GT. The Boss 302 Cougar is using the factory relocation parts with Auto Meter sender to a real gauge. I'm not trying to keep the idiot light. I've had too many failures with 1/8" copper or plastic lines. I may try using CuNi brake line tubing and some sort of home made bracket. That corner of the engine is very busy with power steering. Please keep the input coming. Chuck

Has someone come up with a good way to remote mount an electrical oil pressure sending unit? The sender will not fit on top of the oil filter adapter. Thanks Chuck

I just want to add some results so that future users have more information about this particular carb. It works very well on the Dyno. 656 HP @ 6400 RPM, 615 TQ @ 5200 RPM. 10.4 CR, TFS ported heads, RPM ported intake, Lykins solid roller cam. We'll see how it does on the street when I finish the car.

FE Technical Forum / Hurst shifter boot compatability 1966 Cyclone
« on: August 15, 2026, 03:24:49 PM »
Car is 1966 Cyclone, shifter is Hurst comp plus. I now have the correct tunnel hump from Auto Metal Direct. Will the Hurst shifter boot be to long and wide to work with the factory console shifter bezel opening, or is the opening too small? If the opening is too small, can it be trimmed to fit without looking hacked up? All responses will be appreciated. Thanks, Chuck

Thank you all for the replies. It is good to know I have the correct parts. I will wait until the engine and headers are installed to see where I can add extra bracing. Thanks, Chuck

FE Technical Forum / 1966 Cyclone Z bar question
« on: June 24, 2026, 03:36:45 PM »
I removed the equalizer bar from my 1966 Cyclone 390 car. The width is spring loaded and adjustable. The frame side has a .990 ball and the block side has a .630 ball. I'm hoping some of the Fairlane and Comet members can tell me if this is correct for the car. The listed reproduction at Auto Krafters is not adjustable. The site doesn't like my photo extension for some reason. Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks, Chuck

FE Technical Forum / Toploader questions
« on: May 31, 2026, 12:10:37 PM »
I have a RUG M3 wide ratio from a 1969 Mustang/Cougar 390 that I need to go through. Casting date on the C8 main case is 02/06/1969. I've looked on David Kee's site and have the book he sells. The question is, would this transmission have type 3 or type 4 detents and springs? Second question, are the 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 shift rails the same or slightly different? The problem I'm trying to fix is, it really doesn't want up shift into 3rd gear but will. But it will not downshift from 3rd into 2nd gear. Any input will be appreciated. Chuck

I used PM 9406 on the Dyno and it worked fine.Engine not yet installed. After reading Jay's post I'm questioning by choice. Chuck

Thanks for the link. The work you did is very cool but, way past my fabrication skill level. Chuck

Does anyone have experience with sub-frame connectors for 66/67 Comet/Fairlane? What works well for under the floor connectors. My primary concern is not bending the car if it ever hooks up. Thanks in advance. Chuck
