I have a pair of bare heads 4G23 and 4H3. I have had them magnafluxed and a set of ARP rocker studs and plates machined and installed at Crackaway in Sacramento. Looking for a set of 5K for trade or plus cash if heads are complete.
Thanks

I own a 65 mustang fastback (resto-mod), 66 k car coupe, 32 ford coupe, 37 chevrolet pick-up, 42 gmc pick-up, 70 Jensen Interceptor,
and a Harley Davidson motor cycle. I always get a Xmas card from my car insurance agent but never from my life insurance agent.

First, you fail to mention how many miles on engine. Regardless here area few suggestions. Check connection at oil pressure switch for looseness, if loose, will cause fluctuation. Same holds true for oil pressure gauge. If all checks ok, add oil to the full mark and remove oil pressure sending unit. Install manual gauge to check oil pressure. Oil pressure on a cold engine will generally be higher than when at operating temp. Look for 25-50 psi on average. If oil pressure is lower ( 20 psi or less) on hot engine you have an internal wear problem (i.e.worn main bearings). Possible oil pump but not likely. As to what weight oil add 30 weight for test. This is when mileage may be in a factor in determining what oil to use.
Hope this helps,

Need help in identifying the correct timing cover (front cover) on a 12/65 Kar. The timing pointer is cast and has a C4OE 6059 A casting number. The water pump area is the early style and is aluminum. Has corrosion and will need to replace. Verifying the correct cast. Cannot find in Mannell or Gregory books.
Thanks,
Rick

In my quest for restoration I need some information on the camshaft and lifters. Which manufacturer has the correct grind and kit.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Motor mount is collapsed on my 66 k car. Right side mount, should probably replace both. Any recommendations and is this as number sensitive as the 65?

Thank you for your assistance. My library is building at a rapid pace.

Recently disassembled my 66 K car for the restoration process. The quarter glass windows were a bit of a challenge but they are out. Upon re-assembly I need more information. Where is the best source for this information?
Thanks
