If we are talking about what I call a "short nose" or "long nose" Autolite, my Sept. 1965 small block car has a short nose so the change was certainly earlier.

Adding a few items members here might be interested in.


I have 3 Stumpys engine cradles.  I think there is one of each design; standard, tall and kicked out.  Your choice $50 each at Carlisle.  The standard one has casters.


FE rocker setup complete (rockers, shaft, etc.) with the discontinued Crane iron adjustable rockers.  Very nice.  $150


Holley jets - very complete set with pairs and some multiples.  Also a lot of miscellaneous Holley parts; two new throttle plates, new hardware for throttle plates, metering blocks, etc.  $200 which I think is a bargain if you can use most of it but will negotiate if you want just parts of the assortment.


Ford Carlisle space A46.

I will bring these parts to Carlisle if anyone shows interest in buying.


Virgin 390 crankshaft; standard - had FoMoCo bearings on it when disassembled.  $75 / offer
C7AE CJ connecting rods, 3 sets, used takeoffs from running engines.  $100/set
NOS LeMans connecting rods, in the box.  Might be the early tall capscrew but you are going to replace the capscrews with ARP fasteners, right?  How about $400 for the set.


I no longer have any FEs so am clearing out my stuff in hopes others can use.


Space A46.  I am taking a lot of engine building miscellaneous like head bolts, crank bolts, windage trays, etc.

Yes, 4.25 Scat crank.  Here is a picture of my modifications which I think will improve drainback. 

Can't go wrong with Drew.  These people did a couple of the needle/seat thread repairs for me prior to Drew being an option:

I happen to have .010" stainless shim stock which works well.

The bolt you have is correct; 3/4" long bolt, .62" to the split washer.  AMK sells an identical bolt with the same head marking in 5/8" length.  AMK p/n B-12314 for a package of 4 or B-10192 for a package of 17 (because it is also used for the oil pan on FE without the windage tray).

I agree with 66FAIRLANE.  Look more closely at the distributor gear and the pin.  I had one shear and then lock in a new position on the shaft.  Same symptoms.
