Looking for C3 dual point with 3G2? or 3H1 date or something close and a 3K? one.Anybody have anything reasonable that's not beat up or modified?

Check around the western junk yards that advertise as I've seen clean no rust doors for sale like for $100 each.

From looking at the pics I would say the car is legit and is another or the same car factory screw up.I would think that Ford would have pulled the car after inspector checked car but stranger things have happened!

Seems like sometime back that same car was brought up on this forum.You may do a search to see if you can find the topic as I'm pretty sure it was the same car.Either someone else seen it or it was forsale or something like that...Good Luck!

NOS Hipo damper washer for sale and I have several and they are $100 each shipped.

Make sure also you get a bottom tap as well as you can start the threads with the standard tap but you'll need to finish with the bottom tap.Also only tap the hole back enough that the plug you use is flush with block as that's all you need for clearance and blow them out good.The top hole of the gallery that the lifter goes in be extra careful as it only takes a few threads and you can ruin that hole.Just a word of caution...Good Luck!

There is a letter missing on each number at the end as that is a universal motor mount part number?

That sure beats what most people want for the wore out originals!

I'm a dealer for the coatings and last year one company just bought all the other coating companies.I've used the coatings on all sorts of parts like intakes,pistons and headers and swear by them.Just adding longevity to already expensive parts!

Are those part numbers the bottom part of motor mount that has the two pieces welded together and stud on bottom bolts to tower bracket?

Anybody out there that has replaced the parking brake handle please give us some insight on how to get handle off and replace with new one?

A perfect example of why NOT to deal with PayPal!

When they repoped them they used the same company in the beginning that made them for Ford but have since sourced them out to China.Yours is from the 90's and you can buy them new for $89.95!

RB,where was your car built?

That is unreal as it's all scratched up and over spray on parts the least he could have done was detail car.Guess that's the BIG difference between real nice ones and so so ones but one thing for sure it doesn't have the mileage he says.If original owner bought that car and put it away to save those kind of miles it would have been garaged and to have been stored outside which is how that one looks who would do that to save a cars mileage and not the body or rest of the car for that matter??

Mr.Ford,are these old ones or newly made ones?

Getting any imput here is tough as most all these people are purist.I've drag raced for many years and personally love a solid lifter cam.Really I'ld rather have a roller but lets stay some what modest.Once you get a knowledge of the valve adjusting procedure it just another job but you need springs that are compatible with the camshaft your using.There are alot of spring choices today as they make some good ones but to answer your question take your springs and check the spring pressure on each spring and if they are compatible to the pressures needed on cam card go with them if not get new ones.The next question is easy as all you have to do is take the bottom gear in your chain set and mic your hatchet then take the gear to a machine shop and have that number surface ground off back side of gear and your set to go with chain selection!

I can tell you from experience that a Hipo rod will break at 9300rpm with a heavy piston from years of drag racing.With light pistons I've turned them well over 10,000rpm and had no problems.It's all in the parts,how you check them and assemble short block!

A guy in California is making correct housings for $599 and he has them on E-Bay also.Nothing like competition!

Really I wouldn't even post some of these so called sold at prices especially if it's on E-Bay as it's as corrupt as you could find.Cast iron 4 barrel intake is $50 just about at all the swap meets you go to but Columbus and anyone pay that kind of money for one I want to sell some.Oh but I know mine wouldn't be worth that same kind of money!
