FE Technical Forum / Re: Seeking a bit of help from the 1969 428/C6 experts concerning kick down parts.

cleandan, have you tried running through the gears without the kickdown linkage installed? Might help sort out the problem a little bit through elimination.

Thanks guys, very helpful info here. I will be looking into the oil control issue. I will say that the exhaust seat angles are still well defined and do not seem to be deteriorating. I am using press on valve seals. The heads are old C4 Big H low riser heads.

FE Technical Forum / Lead substiute
« on: June 26, 2023, 06:21:45 PM »
I'm wondering if anyone who has been using MOTOR MEDIC lead substitute and on disassembly noticed a black buildup on the back of the intake valve. At 1,000 miles an unrelated condition required heads off and that is when I noticed this. Seems sort of sticky and resists removal with a wire wheel way more than a carbon or oil buildup would. I may have overdosed because I did not actually measure fluid ounces but just took a guess (figured not too important). I'm using the stuff because my exhaust seats are factory cast iron. Also, do I really need this additive?

You can test secondary diaphram function; with the engine not running, open the primary butterflys and with an air gun blow air past the brass vacuum sensing tube in the RH venturi creating a low pressure area thus mimicking full throttle operation and the rear butterflys will pull open if everything is in order.

     Does anyone out there know of a coolant recovery cap to fit a '60-'64 FE surge tank? A P/N or application.

   My hat is off to you, great write up and photos. I installed a Gearvendor in my Starliner, more work than I had expected, and I have a hoist! Attaching a photo showing how I rerouted my emergency brake cables around the overdrive.

   Thanks for responding Doug, '60 is gold anodize aluminum, '61 is chrome, probably pot metal. I have found one on ebay with broken mounting studs for a reasonable cost. Broken studs no problem as I'm going to use two sided tape to attach. Fenders were never drilled, came off a station wagon parts car. Never liked the look of gold anodize aluminum so I will have them gold plated as I did the trunk script, looks like jewellery!

Could have been miss boxed. I worked at a parts store years ago and when the store would change brands a crew would come in and re box the parts, of course they didn't always get it right.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Distributor Gear Roll Pin Broke

They are both the same.

It is probably not a good idea to change what the distributor came with. If you use a stronger pin, instead of breaking the pin you may break the gear or cause further damage such as the cam gear.

I should have said, "I believe Ford used coil pins".

  Would someone elaborate on the difference between a roll pin and a spring pin? I believe ford used roll pins.
