Davidless liked post by Gaz64 On thread : Help With my crate 427 Engine Won't Start

This is the first clue. Electronic curves are calculated after a reference angle. Each spark event is a "retard", because of the module calculation, but it appears as an advance curve. The...

If it started when you first got it, and it does not now, it is something you did to it. Spark plugs should not be wet. Wet spark plugs will typically not fire. Put the engine back the way it...

Davidless liked post by Tommy On thread : Help With my crate 427 Engine Won't Start

I always start with the basics: compression, fuel and air in the right mix, and ignition spark at the right time. As you had the heads off, all possible causes are on the table. If it were mine,...

I agree about Optima reds. When the car isn't running disconnect the battery (you do have a shutoff switch, right?) and put it on a battery tender.

Davidless liked post by cycleguy55 On thread : Ford Windsor 427 SB excessive oil pressure

When you say "hot tested" do you mean the engine was run long and hard enough to get the oil to operating temperature (>200 deg F)? If not, then do so and let us know what the oil pressure readings...

If your engine demands 2600 RPM there's no question you want the .81 for street driving. Don't even think about it anymore. :cool:

I have had both Tremec ODs. The .68OD was OK in ERA 755 with a VERY mild stroked 428. My current car, ERA 838 has the .81OD with a mild 496. Both cars had 3.54 rears and 295/50/15 tires. 838...

If my memory is correct, that gear set originally was developed by Tremec for either a Viper or a Corvette using a 6060 gearbox, which is the OEM equivalent of the T-56 Magnum. Rockland then...

I ordered a T56 Magnum 6 speed from Rockland Standard Gear some years ago. An optional gearset just about exactly matches the Ford close ratio toploader in the first 4 gears, and gives both a 0.8X...

davidless -- note the "overall" numbers on the gear ratios from that C&D chart. The number 8.2 has always been kind of a magic target for pleasant street driving. But don't get terribly hung up on...

FWIW, the original was not particularly highway friendly. And you didn't get much of a choice for that 5th gear overdrive.:cool: https://i.imgur.com/BqlM7HM.jpg

The TKX and TKO have the same effective fifth gear OD ratio at 0.82 vs 0.81. Gear ratio-wise, the two transmissions are otherwise identical. The .01 difference in final overdrive ratios amounts to...
