My hat is off to you, great write up and photos. I installed a Gearvendor in my Starliner, more work than I had expected, and I have a hoist! Attaching a photo showing how I rerouted my emergency brake cables around the overdrive.

Thanks for responding Doug, '60 is gold anodize aluminum, '61 is chrome, probably pot metal. I have found one on ebay with broken mounting studs for a reasonable cost. Broken studs no problem as I'm going to use two sided tape to attach. Fenders were never drilled, came off a station wagon parts car. Never liked the look of gold anodize aluminum so I will have them gold plated as I did the trunk script, looks like jewellery!

Could have been miss boxed. I worked at a parts store years ago and when the store would change brands a crew would come in and re box the parts, of course they didn't always get it right.

Yes standard dist. I'll need to take some advance out as 12 initial nets 38 at this time. Will I have cooler running with some vacuum advance added? None vacuum at this time.

FE Technical Forum / Re: Distributor Gear Roll Pin Broke
« on: May 31, 2022, 07:22:10 AM »They are both the same.I should have said, "I believe Ford used coil pins".
It is probably not a good idea to change what the distributor came with. If you use a stronger pin, instead of breaking the pin you may break the gear or cause further damage such as the cam gear.

Would someone elaborate on the difference between a roll pin and a spring pin? I believe ford used roll pins.

PRW stands will fit Harland Sharp rockers and shafts. I believe that I removed a small amount of shim under the stands because the rockers have slightly different architecture. Every setup is different so you must check. If you are able, install two ten lb. springs install two rockers and roll the engine through the valve event to check geometry. Something that I forgot to mention is you may need to change to a shorter pushrod length (as I did). Also you don't want the adjusters in the rockers to extend more than a few threads. Just go step by step.

I pulled the PRW rockers out before they gave trouble. Replaced the rockers & shafts with Harland Sharp parts and used the PRW stands and shims (they do have shaft end supports). You may need to re shim your rocker stands to acquire correct rocker geometry. This is cost effective.

Yes, that does seem to be the conciseness.

Pretty much what I figured. Just weighing my options, found black magnetic matter on magnet drain plug, sort of like graphite in texture, haven't opened filter yet.
Fresh engine, solid flat tappet, low pressure springs, zinc, proper brake in RPM, all I could think of. If I have lobe-lifter degradation will I find larger particles in the filter? Will check tappet lash for extra clearance indicating wear.

Can a solid roller lifter run in a solid lifter 427 block? How about a bushed lifter?
