You're missing the point . Those are formulas for a gas engine that carries fuel in the air . Even if this was an injected or TPI engine , it carries fuel . Fuel helps to cool the air mixture and by being injected into the air , it helps to breakup the mixture . Injector placement is critical ...

Someone just posted a vid of Darin on the Yellow Bullet in the NA section

I would question the theory or where it came from . If you are talking about gas , with the fuel in the air , then yes . We don't have that with the IDI so it is basically a " dry " intake . Swirl , tumble , etc all come into play with gas engines along with the " wet flow " benches . The fuel...

That was a good read by Darin . One of the items I wrestle with is comparing gas to diesel boost numbers and the resulting gains or losses from boost . Not really impressed with turbo numbers as I could put one on a weedeater and make power . More of a NA guy but I don't overlook the results...

Interesting that you made the statement about atmospheric pressure " pushing " air into the engine . Most think it " sucks " in air . As far as boost is boost , most people think that way . I do not . 15 lbs of boost on a smaller turbo vs larger turbo will have a much higher IAT and the...

My heads are in the 230-240 range . Crane regrind is 198 /202 and .440/.450 lift . The stock dual plane intake is about 20 cfm down from the single which is about 200 cfm . I think what Chris said is true but for the 1% that want to push it , heads and cam work will be on order .

So what are we looking at here ? Almost 15 degrees of advance at 3400 RPM ? Different fuel outputs with the same RPM ?

I had the Rhoads lifters in a BBC a long time ago . They were interesting to adjust and sounded like a solid lifter .

Better check the cam specs . I had to play with mine when I put the other cam in .

Stock cam ? No gear drive ?

Years ago the company I worked for had Ford 555 backhoes that were heated using a dipstick heater . Pull the dipstick out , insert heater and plug in . They worked pretty good for what they were . I think Napa had them .

Dremel . Chuck it in the lathe , stick the cord out the back and run it as fast as you can . Combined speed of the lathe and the Dremel has to be a billizion RPMs . You are welcome !:happy: But seriously isn't there a small grinding stone on the other end of the grinder ? Don't remember if it...

Does this have a height sensing valve ?

Most of them should ohm around .8 or .9 .

You don't need to remove all the parts . 90 degree crank and #1 on TDC , rotate about 45 degrees and the pistons should be down in the bores enough to rotate the cam if needed .

Nate , does that crimper do both sides at the same time ?

Are you able to fabricate ? Could you make a bracket that mounts onto the starter , where the bolts go into the starter , and wraps around to one of the trans bolts ?

Yes , that looks right . You should be able to find that on your truck . See if you can remove the old one .

That's not what they are talking about . Go up a couple of lines . See the black oval connector with the springs on the back ? Those are different resistors for the various speeds . Should be on the heater box under the hood .

No need to explain it . You got it right . My cam card is a little different but only by a degree or two at a few points . Do you have any lift numbers ? Mine is showing around .440 and .450 for intake and exhaust with the 1.5 rockers .
