Another user of the facet electric pump. Great little units.
As for rebuild kits for glassbowl crossflow pumps....

I once had a mechanical pump shit itself on a Sunday arvo, had to call a mate to come rescue me.

I had a Goss mechanical on my 302, the built-in barbs seemed to cause the body to bend really easily when tightening up the hose clamps. It just seemed cheap and tinny. Never failed, but I deleted it anyway and put in a Facet chunka-chunka pump just out of the tank. I like it because it gives a definite warning when fuel is getting low (by going chunka-chunka a lot louder than normal)

That is what my eyeometer was showing. When looking at my diff and axle spares.
Will measure up over xmas. Cheers guys

Should be able to, yeah. If the assembly for the XH diff looks anything like this, with a rectangular pattern on the end, then you should be set. You can check it easily enough by measuring anyway.
 
See the flange on the outside of the axle bearing? It bolts through the drum housing and into the flange on the end of the diff.
 

I think you will find the offset from the bearing to flange is different, I'd guess around 15mm. The flange would foul on the drum brake internals, I could be wrong.

My single rail is in a 3 speed xb housing. Open up the center hole with some gentle grinding and only needs one hole redrilled. Top rh by memory.

yeah was just looking at Crow hardened rods. 
 
yep. the engine was built for straight LPG turbo. but im going to be running it n/a for a while. 
the timing gear year is double row chain, and i noticed tonight it has what looks like timing marks stamped into it with locating slots all the way around it at 2 degree increments + and - 

Thanks for all the info guys

I haven’t done anything more at this stage.

It’s funky but sort of old school fun on the column and there’s not many unmolested ones left.

See what happens down the track.

Hi all,
I’m new to this place it’s only my second ever post.
 
I’ve got a XY , 6cyl 250 pre cross flow car, that’s 3 speed column manual,bench seat.
 
I’m looking for info and tips on converting it to a 4 speed single rail.
 
I’ve got some questions...
 
Is it worthwhile doing?
 
Will it drive better?
 
My hydro clutch and fork is on the passenger side, can I keep my existing bell housing and all internals , clutch and flywheel etc?
 
Do I need to mod the tailshaft length?
 
Gear lever clearance near the bench seat all ok?
 
Speedo drive/cable mods?
 
Other than the box , what other parts do I need?
 
Any info or tips would be appreciated.
 
If anyone’s got a good single rail box for sale ,I heard the Cortina box is better ? please pm me.
 
Happy to pay freight also.
 
Thank you

PS it’s just a cruiser, patina paint, original car, nothing fancy.

Freight is not the killer. It is the bank transfer.
My better half normally does all that for me, however she is in hospital for at least another month and a half.
But if Chestnut is right that ford have them available, i can order through work
