I have the upper mount alternator brackets. Would like to put it lower. I’m on Long Island does anybody have a lower mounting brackets for sale. Or maybe bring them to the beaver we’re i can buy them from someone.

What are the most common bearing clearances for  street/strip  on a 482. Mostly street maybe 400 miles a year, 2 or 3 times a year to the track. About 600 horsepower.

So was thinking about buying a tranny.  Looking at Broader,, performance automatic,, and a place called mikes performance trannys. Unless of course you build them yourself who’s everybody using.
Thank. I have used TCI with good luck but thinking about getting something a little beefier. Maybe rollerized to save a little horsepower.

So I have a TCI super street fighter C-6 3000 stall converter that I no longer need
Because I changed camshafts and put a different converter in. Last I looked they are 800 new
Would like to get 300 or message me an offer.

Also have a set of Richmond gears 4.11s that were just to much on the street for me
With a small 26 inch tire. They have somewhere between 3 and 500 street miles. They really look perfect. Would like to get 150 or message me an offer.

I will be at the FE reunion next week I could bring them there.

I do also have my camshaft that I took out for the only reason of putting a different one in.
It is a solid cam.   280/288  and 621/624 lift on a 112 lobe. Very streetable and is broken in already.
I know it could still be a crap shoot but if it starts right up should be good.
150 cam and lifters.

Not sure if if it was here somebody was talking about it but the MSD pickups that are always bad are they a Ford pickup that you can get from the part store.

Well I’ve been playing with the front carb on Friday I took the 5.5 power valve and exchanged it with a 6.5 and it had 70 and 71 jets in front so I put the 71 were the 70 was and a 72 were the 71 was and now at a steady speed on parkway it feels better less like it’s holding back. I actually think I need either air bleed change or PVCR a little bigger. After all this I adjusted mixture screws and it wasn’t to bad. But that’s not why I’m writing.

I’ve got the motor back with NGK iridium plugs and I wanted to put Autolite in there because I’m chasing an intermittent runs rough and I’ve been thinking it’s carburation.  So today I figured I would start from scratch and go over everything before I changed the plugs so I was letting it warm up and it started to run a rough. So I figured screw it let me pull plugs and of course the last one #8 is wet.  So I put the new plug in start it up and it’s still missing I check for spark and it has spark although it did seem to miss once or twice out of 10 times. So I pulled the brand new plug and it was wet. So I got my compression gauge and I pulled 6,7,an8 of course my compression gauge wasn’t working I think the Schroeder valve was bad so I went to the shop and got another and they were all between 170 and 175. So took an old plug put it in #8 and swapped #4 and #8 wires to see if the miss would follow it didn’t so I put the wires back the way they were. The wife called it was dinner time so I figured sausage and peppers would stop me from being aggravated.
So when I finished I went out and started it up and it seemed like it was running ok so I took it for a ride around the block and brought it back pulled #8 plug and it was clean.  It still has the original problem carb wise but not missing so I cleaned up and called it a night till I get more time to play with it.
Now being the way it was with the plug being wet then not I was thinking maybe I have a pickup starting to go bad. I did have a extended cranking no start even at the reunion so I guess it’s possible. I had put one in already like 3 years ago with the old motor and it can’t have more than 300 miles or so on it. So I guess I’m gonna try one. Of course it’s a MSD I think it’s really a ford pickup so maybe I can get one from the part store?? I have an 8594 ditributor.
Or is someone thinking something else I’m all ears.

Yes I know this has been talked about buuuut. So I have a 180 thermostat and a fan switch that comes on at 190 and will shut off at 175. I would like it to run cooler but if I was to put a 160 thermostat in there I think the fan will come on and never shut off being that an FE jammed 8n a mustang engine compartment just will never see anything under 160. As it is anything over 85 degrees and my fan stays running like I have it now. So what I’m asking is what cooling combinations are people using and are the working like they are supposed to and I mean fan on and off and then cycle again

So of course now that Im ready to put my car together I cant find my tranny dipstick and tube and also the flexplate ring
with the holes in it. I have been there and looked for a couple of minutes but will begoing there tommorrow and if I cant find
them will be needing them ASAP. So if anybody has something please let me know. Let me know what you got.  THANKS.
Oh c-6 automatic
