Thread: FFR 33 Ford Hot Rod

We tried an 8.3 Cummins head from China once, that cost us and the customer a lot of money. It was on for one year and the valves went through the seats and the guides were junk. We ended up buying a used Cummins head and rebuilt that one and throwing the China one away.

Got her to the Dr's office Friday, aside from some pretty bad bruising and a broken nose she is okay. After 70, falling is a terrifying thing, probably one of the biggest killers.

I need to get a bigger monitor, totally missed this. So sorry she was hurt. As all have said family is first! Thoughts and prayers for her speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear about the wife. Hope she's on the mend... And you're right, the car don't mean a thing if someone in the family is hurting.

She refused to go to the hospital which made for a long evening.

I hope it was a freak thing and nothing serious. I don't understand the not going to the hospital part until I look back on my life and remember all the things I've " walked off ". We people can be stubborn.

I'm the same. One of the hardest things I've done is to dial 911 for my wife. In my situation it was for the best, because she ended up in ICU. It's not a fun situation, and every case is unique.

Most EFI systems use distributor set up many degrees in advance-they then can control the timing by retarding the spark with the unit--------no way to make it fire sooner than where its actually set but it can be electronily retarded

Also-----please put a double return spring on your throttle cable-- in a system that has a cable, there is no back up for the return in case of any malfuntion
I like those double ones where small diameter coil is inside the larger one----

Love the front suspension!!!!!!!!!!!!
