Thanks,

More proof from the Ford MPC showing the early hipo cam gear was 13/32”, not the chain. This would be true for late parts (post L7) as well, as the hipo gear and chain width never changed.

Wanting to confirm with the community the actual width of the hipo timing chain. Tony Gregory’s book, incorrectly I believe, states it is 13/32” (0.406”) wide and the regular chain is 1/2” (0.500) wide, meaning OUTSIDE width.

When I measure my NOS Ford hipo timing chain (C3OZ-6268-A) still in the box, it is .630” at the widest point, which is at the pins.

When I measure an original regular early 289 chain, it is 0.720” wide at the pins.

Can someone confirm these measurements are correct, and also there is no such thing as a 13/32” wide hipo chain? That number is actually the hipo gear tooth width, and thus the INNER measurement on the chain.

Thanks

Looking for the motor and trans for 5F07K399138.

May be in the Florida area.

Thanks,

Rich

I have a few of these I’m selling.

$105 shipped to lower 48.

NORS 63-67 Hipo 289 timing crank gear sprocket
New Old Replacement Stock in the box.
Made in USA

Out of Production hipo timing crank gear for use with the hipo hachet counterweight.
New in the box gears, made by Republic Parts of Michigan in the 70s.
Steel, 21 teeth, 0.7” thick. Thinner than a regular 289 crank gear.
Comes with a new roll pin.

Picture is representative of the part but may not be your actual one. Item coloration and stamped numbers vary slightly. Some have bits of cosmoline still on them.

If you have questions please ask

Looking for opinions. I have a 65 hipo block that has some external rust and has been painted brown of all things. It also has the original reddish paint marks on the back where the bellhousing mounts. Was going to have it baked and blasted by the local machine shop, but wondered what to do with the original reddish paint marks on the back of the block?

Would you:

- blast it all clean and call it a day?

- blast it and recreate the reddish paint marks? Think it was sprayed

- protect the paint makes by bolting on the spacer plate or something?

Thanks

Rich

Stillwellsobsolete back at it again.

- Big Block arm

- no 2nd spring

- made in Canada body

Looks to be a different body than the “Carter” above

Hey, as long as you can make money it’s ok right?

Sad to see

Rich

With the fixed pivot top and your foot on bottom, I'm thinking the lower the hole is, the harder to press and longer the travel.

Imagining a really long 8 foot pedal with the master cylinder rod connected at the very bottom by your foot would be the hardest to push, attached next to the top pivot would make the longest lever and therefore easiest to push. ?

Who did the restoration?

I have often thought a board to point out misrepresentations would be good, even repeat offender sellers. The second part opens up a whole can of worms tho, but the first part would be good resource at least.

Thanks Fred

Saw this pump from Stillwellsobsolete advertised as a remanufactured Hipo 289 fuel pump.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404440109692

#1 - Isn’t that a big block arm and won’t work on a 289?

#2 - looks like a 7S for the remaining part number, so not a hipo number of 3939S or 4201S. Assuming it could be a 4567S body reused during rebuild with other parts?

#3 - also, hard to tell from the pictures, but looks like a 3/8” inlet. Hipos we’re 5/16” correct?

Thanks

Compare the pics above to an actual NOS breaker plate in unopened pacakge. Looks more like something that has been sitting on a shelf forever, and surface is smooth and has what looks like a bit of storage grease on it.

Breaker plate pics from the sellers ad. You can see the clean, media blasted look of the surface.

I believe these breaker plates being sold by Ebay member "mysunshine302" are NOT NOS.

I purchased one a couple of years ago, and upon inspection, the breaker plate looks brand new. It looks as if it has been media blasted vs what I would expect a NOS finish to look like, smooth with some patina.

Also, the seller didn't want to give up the original packaging, which is a bad sign, but he had inadvertently stated it in the ad, so I got it.

In this ad, the seller is selling the plates and what looks like a photocopy of an original Motorcraft instruction sheet. He notes that the original packaging, which is hard to reproduce, is not included.

I could be wrong, but certainly seems like these are reproductions. Just be aware if anyone decides to buy one....

Fred maybe you can confirm, but doesn't look like a hipo. No second spring and looks like the fuel pump arm is for a big block.

Seller claiming it is a Hipo in the ad title and description:

"NOS OEM Ford R/M 1965 1966 1967 289 HiPo Fuel Pump"

"Up for auction is a NOS Remanufactured button top style fuel pump for a 1965-1967 289 HiPo motor...."
