Been researching the Duraspark vs. GM HEI.

Anyway, good luck. Nothing like a project to keep you on your ...

thanks for h the reply! The old bearing was in the flywheel, or at least the outer shell. The machine shop drove it out when they surfaced the flywheel. But the one with the kit that goes in the flywheel is to big. Just to make sure, I mocked up the flywheel, pressure plate and input shaft, and the ...

more fm146 questions- help

Ok guru's! Put a new clutch in my 89. (see previous post). My problem- the pilot bearing for the flywheel that came with the kit is too big. All the parts houses around here are stumped, and say that is the correct one. The iron collar and the needle rollers are too big. I have the Ford number and ...

I agree, most people mess up on cam selection. There is more to it than that "bumpity" sound. It has to be a combination of intake, cam, exhaust, etc. Also, a little compression increase never hurts either. But with todays fuels, that can be to much of a good thing, also. I guess the ideal would be ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I should have thought about the distributorless ignition before I posted. Guess I was not thinking. :confused: Anyway, it appears I need to do some more research before I jump in too deep. I completely rebuilt my transmission a few years ago, so that is why I am ...

98 4.0 questions

I know I have read that around 94 is the best donor year due to similar harness routing, etc. Has anyone tried one of the later model ...
