I was talking with a member about taking the 3 speed trans off a 383 that's going to another member, and they suggested intake some pictures of the process. The FSM lays it out, and it's straightforward and simple. Unbolt the transmission from the bell housing. 4 bolts, 3/8" rachet, 12"...

I need a harmonic balancer/damper/dampener/whatever you want to call it for my 383, rebuilt to stock specs from the two second conversation I had with the seller. Any recommendations as what to buy what to stay away from? Ai know there's Fluidamper amongst others, don't know what is better, or...

Some water got in the 413 I picked up to use as a set up engine for my Dart. The crappy part about having a tiny garage, full storage and a host needing a fluid swap. The back story, the engine was built, assembly lube used judiciously, break in oil with zinc additive, started and ran for a...

Driving the Polara the last few times I noticed a drop in oil pressure when I ran through the gears hard, and once when I too a left turn quickly. Pressure came back up right away and with my exhaust leak I didn't hear anything and it felt fine, no obvious signs of having no pressure. I thought...

In trying to figure out the best gap for my plugs on the Polara. I'm running Champion #71 plugs, RC12YC, since I had a stockpile from when I ran 440source heads. I've been gapping th plugs at factory .030" the FSM calls for. I guess I can go up to .050" with the MSD. Does it matter? Should I be...

I'm looking for a running 440 to set up my Dart, and my girlfriend posts a wanted ad on Facebook. Get a couple people telling me about a 440 in an RV. That's good but one guy has a rebuilt 63 413 out of a New Yorker he wants to get rid of. Block and heads pressure checked and magnafluxed, crank...

The 1956 Mercury Medalist I'm working on didn't have a thermostat in it when I took off the housing. It also didn't have coolant in the radiator. Should I put a thermostat back in? I got the premium (yeah sure) stat but there isn't the breather in the flat part, or a hole. The housing has a...

I need to replace my throttle cable in my 66 Polara, as mine has decide to break (the u shape bracket that attached to the throttle linkage on the carb). I can't remember where I got one 10 years ago. I'll hunt for one but if anyone knows offhand where to get one, let me know. Thanks!
