A friend of mine’s uncle worked at the ford proving grounds when they came out with the efi 460 3/4 an 1 tons, they had to put the restrictions in the intake hoses and inlet to keep the rear winds from blowing up, they had the unrestricted truck running around the proving grounds at over 135 mph, an they got 25 mile to the gallon on the highway
ever run into a thermactor tube? My 460 EFI has this connected to my Passenger side manifold and has rusted out. Is there a fix for this thermactor tube that no one knows what the hell it is? Thanks.
My old freind has an original Shelby Cobra. He said he kept it only a short time and traded it in. It was very uncomfortable and extremely hot in the cabin with the side exhaust pipes.
A couple years ago I bouhgt an 88 F350 with 460. He had just installed a new long block but when he went to put the top end back toether he couldn't remember how all the injection stuff was supposed to go so he put an Edelbraock carb on it. It has a weird problem. If I set the timing at factory specs it over heats on the highway and doesnt have much power. if I add 4 degrees it runs like a raped ape, doesn't over heat but once warmed up it doesn't want to start. Its firing way to early in the stroke so the started quits turning. It has the OEM ignition on it so my guess is It's missing a sensor somewhere that tells the to retard. If I hope out and move the distributor closer to TDC it starts just fine. Anyone have an idea?
My dream car. Learn to drive it! I got behind the wheel once and was reminded of what it’s like to try and tame a bull. Lucky nothing bad happened but I was very aware that the second I thought I knew what I was doing, I would destroy it.
