FE Technical Forum / 2d Elect Oil Pressure guage
« on: November 10, 2018, 02:18:07 AM »
How would I install a second oil pressure gauge...I believe just connecting a second gauge to the same sensor will provided a reduced reading...but where would I install the second sensor?

I just got the thermostat housing for the larger thermostat to fit the F427 intake on the 428....but there is not a threaded hole what where I was planning on the thermocouple for the electric fan...any best solutions to where to mount the fan thermocouple....do I drill and thread into the new thermostat housing...the temp sensor hole behind the distr needs to keep the sensor....ideas?

FE Technical Forum / 428 Thermostat size
« on: November 01, 2018, 03:28:55 PM »
I am not sure what part number to get for the larger thermostat...I have 428 with a 427 Eldebrock intake...and the thermostat housing from NPD 8575-2.  The thermostat I had fit the housing...but way too small for the intake....I installed without a thermostat but suspect I need to install one before I run the engine (really?)...what is the correct part number..and why did it fit the housing and not the intake...do I have the wrong housing?  Please assist.

FE Technical Forum / Advance Timing
« on: October 28, 2018, 08:30:30 PM »
I am about to install the new cam in the 428, I have the 230 @ .050.  Should I advance the timing or go dot to dot.  i am not racing it...but there is a lot of chat on here about 4 degrees....which I believe is rotating the crank about two teeth clockwise...is it worth it...and does it just give the horsepower at a lower speed...I do not race it but still like the idea of a fast street engine...any risks...?

FE Engine Dyno Results / 428 CJ
« on: October 13, 2018, 02:16:51 AM »
I just have my 428 Cobra jet built in LA...not sure I am happy with the results....

Dyno out of car with headers, using a comp cam 33-338-4, 118/224 @ 050, 735 cfm with oversized jets and Pertonix distributor...

Torgue came in at 455 but HP never went over 355...and drops off at 5000 pretty much...

I am checking this weekend what springs he put in it...but I am concerned if the cam is wrong, too lean, or if I have another issue....
