Re: part number for 1950 exhaust headers
That's what I get for believing Speedway's ads.:mad: They say they are genuine Fenton's. I'll bet you can make 'em fit though.
I really believe in them; I installed them in 1987, and when I...

Re: part number for 1950 exhaust headers
What are you looking for? Ford made a driver side manifold for police use that provided for a dual exhaust. They weren't really headers just one specialized manifold. I don't know the part number,...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
A few years ago, "Charlie NY" sent me a whole box of 8BA headbolts. If you can send me a list of the lengths you need and how many, I could probably fix you up for the cost of shipping.

Re: change to hydraulic brakes on a -36
I believe the O/P would be well served by spending some time reviewing the myriad of posts on this subject on the forum. It would serve him well to at least understand the difference between Bendix...

Re: change to hydraulic brakes on a -36
$649.95? In 1960, I put a '39-'48 master cylinder into my '36 with stock pedals with $.50 worth of angle iron and some spare bolts. It worked very well, but probably didn't look quite as good as the...

Re: 8BA Flathead Fuel Pump Rod Groove
I put a "Charlie NY" rebuilt on the '51 Merc engine I installed in my coupe in 2016. Hasn't missed a beat since.
I removed the electric pump at the same time.

Re: 8ba cooling question
I checked my car several years ago and also found the left bank ran hotter than the right. I have Fenton headers on the car, so I don't believe the exhaust had any influence on it. I don't remember...

Re: Condenser
Gary, I agree with these gentlemen that if the magneto condensers will fit in the stock location, they would probably be a better choice. (And they're cheaper than mine.)

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
They're all pretty much the same. The important part is that any heads need to be custom fitted to the particular engine to obtain optimum quench. See the thread By "GB Sisson" entitled "276 stroker...

Re: What is this ?
Good eye, "Kube". I completely missed that. Another example of your attention to detail.

Re: engine stumbles under load
I had a MSD "Ready to Run" distributor on an 8BA and it had too much advance (Chevy Curve). I went back to a mechanical only Mallory and have been very satisfied. Although the major car manufacturers...

Re: Oil Pump?
I don't believe any of that for a minute. Did you know that the factory specification for oil pressure for an 8BA was 57psi at speed. Even the early engines ran a lot more than 10-15 psi unless they...
