My 400 Ford mains plastiguaged at .003 on all five. I stopped right there and have obtained another crank. .003 is out of spec and unacceptable to me for a newly purchased reground crank. It has kep

If out of the car & oil pan is off - block crank rotation with wood. I used a 3/4" drive breaker bar with socket on mine. I don't usually advocate beating on tools, but I have used Frank's special se

So how many RPMs am I turning with a 4.22 and 185/70R-13 tires during an 80mph commute to work on I-94 (tach is off (reads 6500), but have calculated MPH by the mile markers)? Really would like to kn

Wouldn't my car at 80 mph with 185s be: 4624 * (4.22/3.7) * .947 = 4994 rpm Then my car at 80 mph with 145s would be: 4624 * (4.22/3.7) * 1 = 5273 rpm hmmm.....not as big a difference as I thought.

I bet the 95 mph top speed for 67 MKIVs was rev limited, not power limited. 5273 * 95/80 = 6262 rpm for stock 67 Sprite with 145s and 4.22 Isn't 6250 the redline? My car is in Nebraska for the winter

Maybe we should say quickest of the bunch instead of fastest, then. :-) I don't doubt that a lower geared 1500 could have a higher top end than a 67 with 4.22 gears. Anyone know the published quarter

185/70-13 is the widest that will fit under a square arch wheel well. Whether or not the offset on the rims in question is right for this is trial and error. I have 185/70-13 on stock disk wheels on

The collar numbered "one" goes on the wire to #1 cylinder and so on. Cylinders are 1,2,3,4 from front to rear. If you change the plugs, you can then easily put the wires back on the right spark plug
