Has any one used one of these on a fe 2x4 intake with 4160 carbs and factory style progressive linkage any info would be a great help.

I am pretty sure my c6 transmission failed today wile I was on my way to an event. I was cruising at 60mph slight bang then it sounded like the tailshaft fell out did not get any vibration it did snuff my engine out by the time I got it pulled up on the side of the highway. Got the car towed home did not have much battery left once I got home engine seems to turn over fine nothing sounds bad I will start the car tomorrow and check every thing is ok there but I think everything is fine with the engine car rolled and moved fine loading and unloading it no fluids leaking from any parts oils all look good and clean and smell normal.

once I work out what failed if it is the gear box I was going to pull it apart not sure if there are places I should look first inside the trans. The trans has done no work since rebuild and worked great the place that built it for me is no longer around after 30years of building transmissions sadly when I got a donner box I got an early one 1966. I will upgrade to a later model case this time.

Has anyone had a failure like that?

What I would like to know is a comp cam's camshaft spec card is lash listed cold or hot? I have always set mine cold and never had a problem as it is quite a job to remove my valve covers and the other things I need to do to set lash even when cold. But I would like to know how comp cams wants you to do it.

I am looking for a 66 67 fairlane heater blower motor switch with A/C from a factory A/C fairlane.

If anyone knows any good places or people to try to find one any help would be great

I need a 5 pin A/C switch

My engine has be in my car now for just over 2 years now and has well over 5000miles but less then 7k on it engine is a solid roller bbm block and heads and intake and it has been flawless. I was thinking of pulling the engine soon and doing a check of lifters and pull a few main and rod caps just to see how everything looks. Am I crazy for thinking about it? when would be a good time to think about it?.

It has had a pretty easy life so far no strip runs just street driving and a skid once and a wile and lots of highway miles

Second half of this post has to do with oil temps and highway driving I have always had a concern about my oil temp when highway driving not really a problem @65mph @3000rpm sits at about 200 might get to 220 on a hot day and 70mph for 30min to an hour. Last weekend I gave the car a bit of a hard run on the way to a local car show ran at 75/80mph for around 30min at 3500 3600rpms engine oil temp hit 230@60/65psi. Oil temp is stable and it came right back down 190 200 as soon as I had to slow down for built up area's 40/50mph speed zones. I do run an oil cooler I am not sure if I should change oil type at the moment I am running Penrite HPR 30 20w/60 https://penriteoil.com.au/products/hpr-30-20w-60-mineral Every oil change has looked great nothing abnormal in the oil filter. Would the BBM block being cast solid below the water plugs be why? everything else is great water temp will only get to 200 on the hottest of days the day before I went to another local event and sat in bumper to bumper traffic for 2 hours to do a 2 lap cruise of the main streets of the town near me with about 1000+ other cars water temp sat at 165 to 180 engine oil sat at 180/190@40/45psi at idle trans temp sat at 180/190 the entire time it was a cooler night 26 deg C. Any thoughts on oils I can't get some of the oils you can get in the USA here in Australia but I thinking of switching to a synthetic oil.

Thoughts? Cheers JB.
