Hi Andy, in the end of the video it looks like you struggled a little to plug the coil wire on the coil, did you have any issues with this? did the wire pop off? I think I have an issue with my coil wire, i also struggle to get it to click/make a good connection, I believe its popping off while driving and causing my engine to stop running, ill usually have to put it in park and try cranking it a few times and it will start again. I recently parked the car outside and took the coil wire off for a few days as one of my anti theft devices LOL, so that why i am thinking the coil wire is the culprit.

@AndyKruseChannel Күн бұрын

Haven’t had any issues. If you have trouble starting your car and then it just starts working, and you didn’t touch the wires, I’m thinking it’s not the plug wires. 🙂

Awesome vid. Have a 66 Fairlane 390 4spd Open 8” rear not sure on my gears. How did you pick what ratio to go with? And how to pick proper Speedo gear? Im in Canada & GPS the car it’s not in Kms or MPH. Reading is off for both. Thanks for any help

@AndyKruseChannel 2 күн бұрын

Picking the gear ratio is dependent on what you're wanting from the car. If fuel economy and cruising speeds are your priority, then something below 3.00:1 is for you. If you want the car to accelerate faster, but at the cost of higher RPMs at highway speeds, then something in the 3.55:1 or 3.83:1 ratio is more for you. You need to know the tooth count of the speedo gear (inside the transmission) on the output shaft, gear ratio in your rear axle, and the tire diameter in order to calculate which speedo gear you need to buy. There are websites that can help with that too.

@@Yamadeere For the tooth count on the output shaft of the transmission, you'll want to look up the transmission you have online, it should tell you. The tooth count in the speedometer cable is a different number (although it is important too). You probably have a 7 tooth gear on the output shaft, but you'll want to confirm that. :)

You've done great. We can't all be Jay Leno. I'm slowly builing up my 2009 Mustang V6 convertible. That being said, I realize what I have, and what my max is for investment. I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible, and mechanically and structurally sound, while adding small mods... dual exhaust, front lip, side scoops, tailight bezels, black out deck lid, etc. I added strut and shock tower braces to stiffen the handling a bit. I even removed and repainted the front bumper cover in my basement. Anything I could do myself I've done to save $$$. Eventually it will need to be painted, but what I have is fine, and I don't stress if I get a scratch here and there. It's my daily driver, and I ENJOY it as such!

Advance your timing. This will also raise the vacuum. Vacuum helps atomize the fuel and keeps it suspended. It's not uncommon to have about 30 degrees of advance at idle, especially with heavy cams. This will also help the lumpyness and wanting to stall at idle.

Yeah, assuming the carb is clean, getting those idle mixture screws dialed in is a great place to start. The 1406 is identical to the performance oriented 1405, but is tailored to be emissions minded. I found using the Jets and Rods chart for the 1405 gave me more performance from the carb instead of sticking with the 1406 chart. This is a common path when tuning the 1406. I did a video about upgrading the Jets and Rods, and I talk about using that chart. Good luck, you’ve got this! 🙂

I believe a wide band really needs to be hooked to both sides of manifold. Your hooking up a single side, so this is narrow band. Not sure how to do that yet,, but your the first video i clicked..

@AndyKruseChannel 5 күн бұрын

No, a Wide Band O2 sensor is just that, it measures a wider band of the potential mixture in the exhaust stream. Reading from 8:1 (rich) to 18:1 (lean) is where most wide band sensors are reading. Narrow band sensors are not as sensitive and they only tell you if you're rich or lean compared to the ideal mixture ratio of 14.7:1. Also, on carb engines, where fuel is added up top for the whole manifold vs individual injectors (like modern engines), there's no need for two sensors as the fuel that goes to one bank of the engine is 99.99% the same as the fuel that goes to the other bank. If my engine had 8 individual injectors, then I'd want an O2 sensors on each side. :)

What do you have to pull the distributor first?

@AndyKruseChannel 6 күн бұрын

The advantage to pulling the distro first is to make sure everything is lined up on TDC for cylinder number one. From there, we would know the timing value we're reading is accurate. If someone is certain that the distro was already aligned with TDC for number one, then they would not need to remove it and can go onto the next steps. :)

@hughcrunk378 6 күн бұрын

But you could do the procedure you showed with the distributor still in place then pop it up and reposition it on the gear right? I’m just asking because I’m having some timing issues and didn’t pull the distributor first. I pulled it after.

@AndyKruseChannel 6 күн бұрын

If you realign the distro with TDC of number one after you set the timing, you negate anything done before you removed the distro. I recommend starting over, make sure cyl number one is at TDC of the compression stroke, align the pointer of the distributor, then work from there. :)

Shocks are normal length. They can easily be used with lowered leaf springs. I recommend getting the 1" drop leafs springs (mid-eye leafs) and see how it looks. You can always add 1/2" or 1" lowering blocks to dial in the perfect height, but it is difficult to raise the car back up if your leafs are too low. I went with mid-eye leafs and 1/2" blocks, I think it looks perfect. :)

Knowing what I know now, I would have gone with either 363 (over the 347), or higher compression pistons with a wilder cam. I will probably upgrade to the second option within the next year or so, but the extra cost to do either of those options way back when I had my engine built would have been negligible compared what I spent at the time (maybe 10% more?). Other than that, I am happy with the engine and how it performs. :)
