Does anybody know where I can get a knob? ok, get ya minds out of the gutters...... Does anybody know where I could get a custom gear knob that looks like a 70's falcon 4 speed knob but has the pattern on it to suit a 5 speed gear box?
-
Has anybody tried out a Holley 4360 economaster on 4.1's? Being only 450 cfm I'd assume that they would be almost right on the money for a mild cammed 4.1.
-
Hmmmm N2O...now that could be fun...shame its illegal for street use.
-
If cleaning all the connections doesn't fix it you can try adding a resistor in parallel to the pot to send a bit more power through

When I've restored these dashes, I do the following and the bulbs usually get brighter (well, you can at least sort of see the dash...); - replace and or clean every bulb (they get caked on with dust). I always use original type bulbs but some new led ones would make a big difference, - make sure that the earth connection is good. Pull the connector out and check that the tabs are clean (connector is on ds of dash as you look from the steering wheel side). I wouldn't go mucking around with the wiring...

i know price is ridiculas,even a cheap n20 kit hooked up for a grand would make just as much power.
-
Yup 100% agree and its a shame I always wanted a supercharged 4.1 even as a pimplely teenager on my P's back in the 90's cruising around in my XC. I have messaged CAPA about this kit to see what sort of pricing, I'd expect around 7 or 8k from them.
-
Yep the Aussie speed blower kit looks awsome but 10k ,as much power as a e Bay turbo kit for 3k.it ain't worth it

But if the blower could be wound up to 10 psi, it'd probably come close to the power i'd like to have. Shame CAPA kits are notoriously expensive for the power they produce. Would be very cool however.

dsm are sydney based seller,yes they are chinese but a 100% copy of the original bosch and all parts are interchangeable,i must have used at least 10 of them over the years and no problems,also you are gunna be changing your dizzy gear to suit the cam anyway to a nice crow or similar,the chinese gear would be the only thing i would be worried about and once its off on goes the better one.
-
I'm a bit wary of the ebay kits given all the cheap chinese knock offs floating around. The DSM kits look alright but never really heard of them before. Are they cheap chinese crap or considered pretty good? I was looking at possibly converting either the factory dizzy using a pertronix kit or getting one of the xe or xf dizzies that I have modified to suit.

any of the e bay electronics that can be hooked up with the streetfire ignition kit,thats if you want to arc up the spark,or just run a e bay electronic with vac advance and coil kit for $150 will be fine for the street,214 cam wont like the timing down low but you could put a set of springs in it to bring the timing in quicker,most of those dizzy companys now offer a service of re graphing the thing to suit your spec,just call them ,as long as its mild ,a big cam will not like the vac advance as its useless,214 is on the edge of mild so should be ok imo,plenty there on e bay too choose from for maximum $300 spend billet usa 200/250 dizzy,or the dsm 250 pursuit kit,that will be fine imo.
-
Any recommendations on dizzies?
-
but they did build mustangs rhd and galaxys,so there is a chance of a cleveland block ?
-
Ok the homebuilt plant shut in 1994,as was home to these models,but no falcons ?
-
i went the path of that msd 6al2 digital and its a pain in the ass you will be forever playing with it doing tune ups,and its a money down the drain ,your other set up in parts looks choice,i used a 214 tighe cam solid and its streetable and race,the ice kit it very expensive too,i would be putting that money into a brand new 465 holley or 450 d/p quickfuel and be done with it,and buy a msd or similar streetfire ignition and lock the timing at a safe level around 24 to 28deg,happy days.

well done banno ,my old man used to own a few shonky car yards around that area in the 70s and i remember the huge FORD SIGN out the front of parramatta road,at homebush,not really sure why it closed as ford and holden were still hot sellers,i might do some research today into that jk33 engine number,as we all know its a gt but my guess is something like this,a customer under warranty wanted his clevo fixed pronto but getting it from melbs or other means was gunna take time,so if he went with his car to say julbellie ford at croydon,maybe the homebush plant had a block and stamped it or something like that,tbh i have never seen a jk33 pre fix,only other thing could have been a rush order car for a reason like a promotion or something,being a mid 74 build xb's were in full swing production at broadmeadows,and i guess all ford at homebush had to do was turn a destined fairmont 351 sedan into a gt sedan by stamping the shell as it was almost the same car except paint job/wheels/possibly cam shaft,but by 74/75 the gt thing was dead and sales where dropping ,ford made a bit of a comeback with the xc gxl and cobra,one thing that bugs me is did the ford homebush plant ever make sedans or was it more like other models like eagle farm at brisbane with the jh fairlane/ltd line,but i can tell you one thing i have owned a xb fairmont sedan 302c t bar and mulberry paint with the jh 34 prefix which is a brisbane assembly car so anything is possible i guess.

https://fordsixperformanceforum.github.io/XFheadswap.html It is possible to convert a pre xflow to xflow, not sure if it'd be worth the effort over fitting the 2V head, but I have both available to me, I'm pretty sure if I dig deep in to my collection I have a C2 head some where needing some love. I'm thinking of this for an NA combo I already have the following a fresh 250 + 30thou 214@50 thou single pattern cam Freshly machined 2V head with oversized valves. Aussiespeed 4V manifold Thermoquad 4V carb jetted for 302 manual. Pacemaker extractors split at the 2 in to 1 collectors in to a dual 2.5inch system T5 from XG longreach ute 3.27 diff from same ute I need to get the following Electronic dizzy, I'm thinking of using an MSD 6AL2 with a modified dizzy or getting an ICE ignition kit from Aussiespeed. 3.73 LSD centre for the diff Not sure if I need street terra roller rockers or not. if Im missing anything let me know. I also have a 2V manifold and a fresh Autolite 2100 2v carb with 1.33in venturi. And a fresh ADM34 weber carb as well. Looking for advice or ideas

crossflow block is different to the log engine to my knowledge (aka the head won't swap) the last FEW dyno tuners i've dealt with had grounded me on the HP hunt.. with similar phrases meaning the same thing.. IT MAKES WHAT IT MAKES.. otherwise known as.. it's only going to make the sum of it's parts, if the head/cam doesn't flow enough to support a bigger carby, there's no point putting a bigger carby on. for eg. so you probably need to just either try it and see what happens to some degree. turbo would solve a lot of issues relating to power limits/flow of NA base.. generally get double the power pretty easily.. just add $$ and less legal than bolt on looking mods.
-
I am also considering going the turbo route, but once again if I go blow through crab, what carb to use? do I even need a 4 barrel for 350hp turbo'd or would the ADM do the job, I remember wayyyy back on the old Xfalcon forum a guy had a nice clean XF with a blow through carb setup running an ADM, I'd love to do something similar to that only with the 2V head given how rare they are here in Australia. The other option is just either convert the current engine to a crossflow head or get a crossflow and rebuild it to make that sort of power using one of the many combo's floating around on the net. My interest in the TQ is with the fact that they are very underrated carbs on V8's once they are sorted out and could offer better economy than a Holley can do with similar outputs in the top end due to the decent flow rate. I've only ever seen one on a 4.1 litre once and that was an XD with a Mike Vine turbo kit on it...it went like the clappers and I remember it embarrassing a friends VK SS back in the 90's.....real bad.

I do have an aussiespeed 4bbl manifold for the 2v head as well as the old factory manifold. The ADM would be my default carb to go to as I have a pretty good history with them. But they are limited in the top end with only about 250ish cfm. So a 4 barrel seems to be the way to go, but too many choices lol and not enough info out there on 2V headed setups that make good power and arent crazy like some of the yank setups...in an ideal world triple 1bbl's would be the go...just looks so damn cool, but doesnt seem to do much else. I have been looking at the sniper 2300 efi, but once the fuel system is changed to suit it could get pricey real quick and may not offer a return on the high setup costs for a car that will be driven occasionally....while I'd love to use it as a daily, XB's are too hard to find or repair should it get damaged by some knucklehead in a ranger or hilux driving around Wagga... I can live with the odd cranky cold start...my XB is still less temperamental than my wife of a morning.
-
the 38/38 weber is a bolt on for the crossflow and better for power, but it's not going to be as good on fuel but the engine Stumps is using is a 250 2V (XB ish engine with the separate inlet manifold) with a 250hp goal..
-
i have been down the 4 barrel route with the crossflow,and found the 450 d/p from quickfuel or holley is great for a worked crossflow,tried 650 yeah it runs but not really driveable or econamey,tbh stick with a 350 or the rebuilt webber 34adm.
-
no such thing as dumb question really, but a 4 barrel with vacuum secondaries would surely be the go rather than squirting 4 barrels every time you pushed the accelerator. i'd be finding someone who's got experience with the setup you are planning. most people these days are chucking on one of the carb replacement throttle body EFI setups and not having to deal with cold start issues, low signal from big cams etc and able to get a fairly cheap tune because they aren't pulling jets and mucking around under the bonnet anymore (dyno tuners)
