fuel pressure issue resolved - always double check your work!
Ok so if you have that ticking fuel presure issue i demonstrated in my previous video please check your send and return lines I had followed them back to the gas tank and back near the axle they crossover each other and I got them mixed up - good idea to label them with some tape of paint mark etc (which i did)
Once I switched the lines around to the correct position the regulator is working perfectly no clicking sound and fuel pressure is set and holding steady at 6psi - good starting area for carburetor application.

carb swap 349 first start - fuel pressure issue!
Просмотров 9316 часов назад
Got the carb swap 349 fired with the help of my son Saturday morning, fired off fine after adjusting for the correct distributor trigger type on the Petronix ignition box and twisting the distributor a few degrees! made some initial idle mixture adjustments but oticed the fans were not coming on so shut it off to avoid overheating, turn out I forgot to rewire the key on ignition wire on the fan...
closer look at where the milled intake was leaking
Просмотров 9021 час назад
better view of how much was milled off the lower part of the intake, the water outlet gasket sealing area and the corrective plate I made to fix the water leak. Glad I was able to fix it but just want to point out a precaution when you have to get your intake milled to make the cylinder head to intake manifold ports align
Something to watch out for when milling your intake manifold!
Просмотров 93День назад
Ok so after 3 times sneaking up on the port alignment on this intake now we have a small issue at the water outlet where the milling cut away some of the area where the outlet seals, I made a steel plate to sandwich between the manifold and water neck to provide additional sealing area

Bellhousing indexing done, Pushrod length verified on to the next step!
Просмотров 255Месяц назад
got the offset dowell pins in and got the bellhousing indexed in to within .002 had to also order longer pushrods since I switched to solid rollers which are shorter than the hydraulic lifters, ended up at 7.3" pushrod lenght and got those on order, 349 rebuild is moving along!
Indexing Quicktime bellhousing
Просмотров 139Месяц назад
for proper transmission shifting the transmission input shaft has to be within .005 runout - alignment with the crankshaft centerline, here is how to measure if you are in spec or need to install offset dowell pins to move the bellhousing into alignment spec.

Cleaning Ford OEM style Hydraulic roller lifters

Just going through my Elgin HT-2205 Ford OEM style roller lifters to clean them since we had a bearing issue, we don't want any dirt or debris in the any of its passages preventing proper hydraulic operation of the lifters.

cheap eBay steering wheel hub / quick release, don't waste your time or money!
Просмотров 1442 месяца назад
I knew I was gambling with these cheap eBay Kyostar hub and VMS racing quick release, I don't recommend either, neither one work well or at all with out modification. I got them to work but should have spent the money on better parts that actually fit correctly. I will replace both at a latter date and they will both go in the trash!

That's awesome that it was something simple. Also that the regulator was able to return that much fuel. If you don't mind me asking, what regulator is that?
yes, the regulator is Holley 12-887 is on sale for $65 at summit www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-887
Awesome easy fix. Can't wait to see it run.
yeah, just got to get the clutch broken in and a few wiring issues (factory tach and fuel gauge) and we should be ready to make some test passes!
@vrm86gt awesome! I have 3 things to watch rpm. My tac, a autometer aftermarket, and laptop with megasquirt.. they all say different rpm's by 2-300 rpm 🤦♂️ not a big deal until in shifting at 6500 and not sure if it's higher or lower...
Looking good
@@jplperformance9073 thank you!
I had a similar issue and it was due to the pressure coming to the regulator was to high so I ran a return but it looks like you have a return
Thanks, I figured it out, I got the send and return lines under the car mixed up! How are the solid rollers working out for you? So far I'm liking mine, got them set at .004 on intake and .006 on exhaust.
@@vrm86gt love solids I will never go the other way again. That’s exactly how we set ours up ya you may need to adjust and check every once in a while but definitely the best way to go.
Well at least it was a simple fix this time!😅
yes, thankfully it was an easy fix!
That is cool that your son is helping you with the adjustments and troubleshooting! Will you be in a good position to do a test drive once you get the fuel pressure issue figured out and the AFR's straight?
I'm hoping so, got to get the clutch broken in some and the tach working, should be pretty close after that!
Hell yeah!
@@bradbeck4341 the lines cross over each other back by the filter and I got them mixed up! Lol!
What fuel pump is in the tank?
kenso 340lph - I got the issue sorted! had the feed and return lies crossed on the regulator, that was the clicking sound was the fuel pushing up on the regulator spring and it snapping back, just glad it didn't rupture the diaphragm, regulator working properly now!
@@vrm86gt awesome glad that's fixed.
Awesome! Glad you got it sorted out!
@@jdrods1519 thanks JD, glad it was an easy fix!
👍
@@gearbanger57 thanks! I got the lines clearly marked now, Lol!
you can try running the feed line into a gas can and see how the pump is free flowing to see if it still pulsates.. when i broke my motor in on the stand i had a holley regulator that let fuel pressure creep up on me.. had to run 3 psi just not to flood motor during brake in.. ended up using a aeromotive reg. and made sure my return line was as big as my feed line.. glad you got it back running ! check the ground on your gas tank bad ground will mess up the fuel gauge..
thanks! i will check that ground on the sender!, i got the fuel pressure fixed, feed and return were backwards! i labeled the lines wrong where they cross over back by the fuel filter and go over the axle lost track of which was which i guess!
@@vrm86gt it happens.. nothing like building a race car..lol
Sounds good, tight lash makes it sound like a hydraulic motor.
@@gearbanger57 yeah I'm happy it with it so far!
Change pumps. I run as low as 4psi. The TBI pump would work.
Thanks! yeah I think I'm going to try that out! Was just hoping not to have to drop the tank! LOL! not a terrible job just a pain in the but and the wife complains about the gas fumes in the garage!
@@vrm86gt 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I knew there was a wife in there somewhere. I had to build a detached garage.
After close to 100 or so square body builds and the majority being carbureted the simplest, in my opinion, choice has been the in tank TBI fuel pump. It lives a long time and doesn't hurt the wallet. The Walbro unit works great. I use return style regulators from Holley or Aeromotive at 5psi or higher. Below that pressure I use a pump dedicated for low pressure use and run it dead-head. The high output of an EFI pump is hard to return down to a pressure that low. The size of the return line would need to be larger than the feed line. At normal operation, 60% of the pumps output is already being returned and at nearly 90% of the return line's capability. There may be a regulator out there that can return down to that pressure, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
Awesome!!! I’m glad you got it sorted out!!! 🇺🇸💪🏼
thanks JD!
Everyone I've heard of that used the chrome T-stat housing has had issues with them leaking. Glad you got it to work, engine bay looks a lot cleaner.
@@FXRSDriver 2nd that as far as chrome thermostat housings. They never seal. I've got a 5 gallon bucket almost full with those. I never intended to keep them, but after building mustangs for 20+ years....I had to put them somewhere. JUNK!
@@FXRSDriver thanks David!
@@arturozarate1752 yeah it wasnt the warermexk it was the milling if the intake that caused the leak
Nice!
Thank you! hope it hleps someone out before they take their manifold to get milled
Excellent work VRM!
Thank you OG! Hope your well!
@@vrm86gt I am hanging in there Brother! Hope you are doing well.
Glad you got that sealed up.
it's working great so far, it's kinda like a slightly overside steel plate gasket!
@@vrm86gt good to hear? Is that housing chrome or polished?
👍
Thanks!
Nice!
Looking OldSchool Cool in there vrm……..badass👍🏼🏁
Thank you!
Looks like everything is coming together nicely... I can't wait to see it fired up and at the track!!! Hope your summer is going great!!!
Thanks Todd! yeah my son and I are going to fire it off tomorrow! hopefully I will have successful update video to post!
little bit of RTV would have solved that leaking Problem too ?? I never use Gaskets anymore ..just RTV and it never leaks ...
it is fixed with the extra steel plate, I have a paper gasket behind the plate and the o-ring waterneck in front.
Heck yeah man! Making progress almost there! I'm thinking it's going to run a personal best right off the trailer.
That would be awesome! Thanks!
And.....for 25 years, I've found American made intake manifolds to have more material in that area. China and the chigitty Chan chicken don't cover that gap.
@@arturozarate1752 wait a minute lol. I'm looking at a Edelbrock 29285 right now. It's not milled and the thickness is .355" and the Speedmaster 1-147-052 that we have is .360" so they are the same. You know we like to measure and test everything before we knock it lol. The speed master in stock form have some terrible flow differences on a few runners with one being as low as 214cfm! The Edelbrock in stock form is way better. We see hundreds of these manifolds and sell them ported on Ebay and I would NOT put the off shore manifolds on a engine without first getting it properly ported. Wait till you see the video.
@@bigdogsportingtonyb2833 🤣🤣🤣 allow me to eat a little crow
@@arturozarate1752 it's all good. I just checked a overseas dual plane and it was .325" which is definitely smaller and if you mill anything off you will have issues so no crow eating tonight! 😅😅💪
The stage 2 single plane we did for you has more material there because we have lots of experience with milling these intakes for milled heads. Your average runner flow is 391cfm. It's in route 👍
Tell em T. Been trying to help yalls boy here.
@@bigdogsportingtonyb2833 awesome! looking forward to ot thanks Tony!
What's the full setup on the stroker? Seems awfully similar to mine. Looks pretty tuff!
Good info about that cam gear thing! Also that grey looks really good. I might go grey on my next Ford rebuild! Hahaha
@@retorq thank you, New Ford Grey is the name of the color, not usre the first yeat but was the stock color of the block in 86. Yeah thenduraspark distributor is a little trickier to install than a TFI, i read the extended shaft on the TFI was an upgrade Ford implemented.
That is an awesome looking setup VRM! You really do excellent work! I can't wait see what improvements it makes at the track!
Thank you OG! Getting prety close, got a slight drip at the waterneck so going to take care of that and then we are pretty much to try to start this new setup!
Awesome!!! Yep that throttle stud looks to be in the correct spot! Your going to love the Carb set up! It’s so simple and easy! 🇺🇸💪🏼
@@jdrods1519 thanks JD! appreciate the support!
I use the hole above the one you're using when I have to use a ball tip stud. If you're AN lines are made with reusable fittings, you can run the line along the firewall and to the back of the carb. If the t fitting has gauge port threads on the other side that is.
thanks! I wil give that a try!
This is looking REALLY good!
@@Adrenacyde thank you! will be ready to fire soon, got alot more done yesterday, need to decide on an air cleaner too! Ive got just about 4 inches above the carb of hood clearance, thinking about an air pan open in the back to the cowl hood opening
@@vrm86gt I have pretty much the same setup as you, but 331. A 14x4" fits under the 4" H.O. Fibertrends cowl with PLENTY of room to spare.
I think your heading the right way! Looking good.

Upgrade yourself before it's in there permanently to a Tilton hydraulic unit. Almost 20 years and I'm replacing the release bearing for the first time. Before it fails....or shows signs of....
i haven't had much issues with the cable operation for now but will take note of Tilton, I've heard of them before, good to know it's a quality unit.
@@vrm86gt the McCloud and RAM I had leaking issues with in the past. Switched to a Tilton.
I haven't watched yet, but I know the struggles of a 3550, TKO's 500 & 600, and the T56 solo and on the shop floor.....UGH! Ok...now to our regularly scheduled program.
agreed, my son is going to come over help me when I drop the engine back in (next couple of weeks)
After some time since the installation, how are you liking the upper torque box braces? For the daily driven enthusiasts, rubber or polyurethane bushings will meet their needs. Once someone is initiated past that level and ready to get serious....spherical ends are the best ends for upgrading to a serious purposed suspension. No deflection and they will still allow a solid rear axle to articulate when needed. Delrin bushings are amazing but have their place. They only want to move on one axis. If they are side loaded or persuaded to twist....they'll break. Just in case you ever had a 💡 about delrin....lol
they are holding up fine, this is about as far as I am going to go on the suspension for now, they closed our local drag strip last year so it's a lot further to get to a track now
@ 0:55 if you ever have another block done, have the oil gallery plug at the rear of the lifter valley installed upside down. So with the dome upwards. If you get the chance take a look at the oil passages under it. Also, Lokar makes dipstick and tube assembly that can be fitted to either the OEM block port or a 1/4" npt port in a pan. It's flexible, length adjustable, and locks in place. It's pricey, bit I found it worth the money when it didn't leak, I was able to make it the exact length, it showed me the exact oil level, and it sealed when locked so my vacuum pump worked better.
I will check that out! what am i looking for under there, just intereference with the plug into the gallery or is this a known spot for debris to collect?
@@vrm86gt the oil is restricted a lot and in some cases when it's driven in too far nearly closed off. I've been building engines professionally for 25 years and I did it "wrong" for almost the first 10. I caught myself looking at the plug I took out and the oil galleries....turned my head to the side like a dog not understanding what is being said to him and called up one of my mentors.
@@vrm86gt he asked me, "wtf took you so long to see that?" He explained that a stock rebuild in your wife's grocery getter won't care, but when you're twisting the screws with thousands of aftermarket dollar bills you want more oil through there. Especially with hydraulic roller applications. Just flip it over and drive her home.
Good work sir
thank you!
Can't wait to see what it does!
@@retorq thank you! me too! just waiting on my intake manifold getting milled to line up the ports better!
