FE Technical Forum / Re: isky sohc cams
« Last post by blykins on December 13, 2025, 05:45:01 AM »A good lobe catalog will show a theoretical checking duration and a duration at the valve. With SOHC engines, the cam is degreed at the valve, not on the lobe like a traditional engine.

Private Classifieds / Selling out
« Last post by gregaba on December 12, 2025, 03:51:33 PM »Due to age and health I have decided to sell all my part's for my 63 Galaxie along with the car.
I will have to sit down and catalog all my part's 99% are new.
I have been putting these parts in my parts room for 20 year's and all most all are new with some being taken out of the box for mock up only.
The main parts are
i- Rust free 63 Galaxie 2 door box top with no rust I could find, the only rust is where the primer wore though that the last owner applied and I have not had the time to sand and respray yet. Neighborhood kids hit the windshield with a large rock and it will need replacement
It will come with all part's I received when I bought it.
1- A newly put together short block with receipts for $2000 of machine work. Has worked Edelbrock heads, new 351 intake adapter 351C track heat intake etc.
2- 6R80 with new billet Circle D torque converter ,Quick 6 computer control and Locar shifter, with Speed Gems complete 6r80to fe adapter kit to install 6r80.
New cross member kit for tyranny.
A lot more parts .
I should have put this in the for sale section but don't have a complete list or prices figured out yet.

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Re: Anyone using an A/F gauge in their car?
« Last post by 66FAIRLANE on December 11, 2025, 04:33:18 PM »Why is it that a Bosch O2 sensor will last 100k-200k miles, and probably 15+ years, in a new vehicle, but seems to fail fairly quickly in any aftermarket setup? And these cars are typically not being driven in snow and rain. It seems odd to me.
I would think it has to do with the power up protocol. I used to use an Innovate LM-1 and never lost a sensor. Used to start engine then immediately power up to avoid thermal shock.
Lost my first Sensor on my Holley Sniper a couple of months ago. I think that was thermal shock. I gave it two primes on a particularly cold day so the sensor would have been close to fully heated before I hit the key. That one lasted 8 years. I suspect the OEM's have better control on the heat/start protocol. I also suspect the OE tables are so well dialled in that unless it threw an engine light you probably wouldn't even know if you shat one.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Carter P4600HP Questions
« Last post by price5113 on December 11, 2025, 03:32:45 PM »We used on a "daily driver" 79 F150 for the better part of 6years with NO issues in a "dead head" set-up. That particular pump was a "USA" made version. I believe the current pumps are built "offshore" so I dont know how long they would last.

« Last post by MrRupp on December 11, 2025, 02:10:30 PM »We run that same pump in our 79 Foxbody Mustang race car with a 445 FE. Were running a 1050 dominator, shifting at 6300. We never have had a fuel starvation problem. Were going on 6 years of racing with the same pump. I have a thread in the dragging racing section of this site with all the specs of the engine.

« Last post by drdano on December 11, 2025, 10:23:53 AM »drdano, letting the sensor see exhaust before getting powered up is usually recommended against by the manufacturer. ( unless I’m misunderstanding your sequencing).
Correct, that is the recommendation I've also tried to follow int he past with poor results. I killed a half dozen of the old sensors trying to power up, fully heat the O2 sensors prior to even starting the engine. I assume that moisture in the system was damaging them. And yes, I have BBQ'd a sensor or two of the older type by accidentally leaving them in the exhaust unpowered. The current LSU 4.9 sensor I've been using now doesn't get powered up until the exhaust in the car/bike has been running for 15 minutes and the engine is at operating temp. I've yet to kill this 4.9 sensor and the LM-2 seems to behave more predictably using this procedure for me.
