Re: 4V FE carb spacer

Thank you Charlie , you are correct. The bottom of the Carb spacer should have a groove to connect all the throttle openings to evenly distribute the PCV charge. You may want to find a spacer from a PCV equipped 4bbl 390

Re: 4V FE carb spacer

Yes , you can just bypass the spacer and go directly to the heater box with the hose. It also cleans up the look of the engine. You will love how that 390 works . We looked at Prescott Valley when we were 1st house hunting. It has changed so much since the 90s - too busy for us now. Chino Valley is ...

Re: 4V FE carb spacer

I used to live in Laramie , Wyo. at 7200 ft.& cold winters , now live in Az at 5000 ft. & milder winters and I have never used a heated carb spacer. It just has not been a problem and you don't have the risk of overheated fuel. It will definitely hurt horsepower to preheat the intake charge....

Re: rear suspension options

On my longbed 64 I had the same problem - lumberwagon ride and the truck sat too high. I just removed 3 or 4 leafs , installed some good shocks and for little money truck now sits right and rides smooth.

Re: Did I get scammed on my widsheld?

Auto glass is my profession and has been for 32 years. Yes 400 is high, even if he supplied a Carlite straight tint windshield, he still put over 300 in his pocket. Slicks are not Ferraris or Lambos, they are just not that hard to do even with the stainless. I always use sealant between the glass &a...
