Here's a photo of the C4 lines on my '67 240/C4. This is the front section only. I bent the lines myself and tried to keep them looking like what I took out,...
Frank and Jay, thanks for the follow-up explanations and ideas. I get it! Before I open up the carb to get at the metering rod, then, I'll work the idle...
Hey Brian, you won't need to remove the weight to drop the tank. Here's a hint if you haven't dropped a tank before: The two strap bolts in the back only need...
Joe, Remember that the idle mixture screw only effects idle mixture and, although I'm not very familiar with the YF carbs, the main fuel control system ...
Thanks Jim. I was looking under the carpet in my van last night and I don't see the bolt heads for the weight, so I'm thinking my van probably doesn't have a...
Wow, that's pretty substantial. I pulled up my carpet last night and I don't see any bolt heads, so I'm thinking my van doesn't have the weight ('66...
Does anyone know of a good supplier for engine bolt kits for the small 6? Seems like there should be someone who caters to Mustang builders but I can't find...
Hey Jay, Jeffrey, Joe, you guys are first class! Thanks! Armed with your information, I'll feel capable enough to bend up new tubes and make this work. Joe,...
Why new bolts? Jim G Cushing, WI Remember this , Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive, well...
I'm curious mostly but then some of the exterior engine bolts (like water pump, timing cover) on the 200 are not correct and it is nice to have the right bolts...
Frank, I used MadDog Racing(east coast company) for my 240 parts, they are on ebay and sell a ton of kits. They were good to deal with -- mixed and matched...
My way of getting bolts is to go to the hardware store and match up what I need other then the head bolts nothing is to critical besides you do not need...
Thanks John. I'm not sure if I will be doing a tear down or not yet. It depends on what I see after I get a little deeper. If the cylinders look good and mic...
You're right Jim but I like to be picky about these things sometimes. It is a hobby after all, this is not my primary transport. I work on the old cars for...
if you take a late 200/250 head and deck it and install it on the early engine it will give you bigger valves and intake ports.i did this on my 66 170 and it...

The screen on the sender unit in the 67 8-door was plastic and it flaked away. I plan to reuse the existing sender unit. What can I use to replace the...
Yesterday, my wife and I took a ride down to Fred's place in R.I. to pickup my seat. It's beautiful! He welded and painted the frame, put in new springs,...
Hi . Have a Ford part numer D1AZ-9A01-A sender filter . float number C0AZ-9202-B . Don't remember if that number is for the metal or the plastic filters . ...
Jim, I would put in a bunch of marbles and rock and roll the tank to knock it all loose also chain works. Jim G Cushing, WI Remember this , Life should not be...
Those that didn't make the MidSouth meet...You missed a great time! Three days of camping with friends and family. We had great group meals, conversations,...
Frank, actually I've found that the main jet is still working at idle, and the effect of the mixture screw(s) will give a fair indication of whether the main...
Brian, you're correct - the Supervans (extended vans) didn't come with a ballast weight. Sorry for the confusion; thought I had mentioned that. Jay in CA ... I...
Jim, I don't know of a source for new metal screens. I pull them from used senders at the junkyard. Most of the Fords from the sixties use the same screen as...
Ok, can't argue with those experiences. This is contrary to carb operation theory by published literature, at least for Weber and Holley type carbs. Typically...
Quickly looking at some of the books I've used for tuning, they all imply that the main circuit is not in effect until ~2500 RPM (actually there is some...

Hi Jim, I put some rocks in the tank today and they all stuck to the tar. I'll give it another go in the morning, I think I got all the tar out. Jim in...
Thanks Jay, I've been thinking... ouch... and I believe my local hardware store carries some fine mesh screen. I think for now I will just bag the framed...
