I run a Quickfuel 600 vac sec on my XF ute with similar specs,

if you're getting a mechanic to do the diff bushes, replacing the blade arm bushes at the same time will be easiest, as you have to undo them to lower the diff cradle, throttle body will be fine

XR-XF Falcon Coil Over Conversion kit
FORD_MAN replied to judgetread's topic in Steering, Suspension and Brakes
@BTS666 Yeah I put some N50R14's(around same size as 295/50) on my XE sedan, only had around 3mm clearance to the lower control arm & rubbed while moving, If changed to Lower control arm to a tubular or RHS like then would have more clearance, but would fit a 275 quite easily stock, -
Seen BP Swan Hill has removed its LPG tank, not sure on Kerang Shell, they had their tank retested & new valves fitted the other month, but hadn't had it filled few weeks back. but still have 2 in town, & available in most towns around, I've recently brought a '76 F100 w/duel fuel, but looks to not run on petrol in 15+ years, need to get its 200lt tank retested, while I can still get LPG locally I'll keep it on the effie,

As I posted on Facebook but will post here as well incase anyone else wants to see wiring diagram, XE style is MAG pickup, you'll also need to cut the RED looped wire that comes out the box for 6 cyl firing

means power will start declining around 5800, some tapper down, others fall off faster, so possibly peak HP around 5600ish Valve float is more dependant on valve train & valve springs, my 302C when I first built it made power cleanly to 6000-6200 but after a while the valve springs went softer & if you didn't shift at 5500 lost like 20hp+ by 5700

Yes use the breather hole to fill with oil on the Aussiespeed rocker cover, I have one on my XF ute,

I had a TFI chrome 9x2" filter on my XF for a bit before I fitted new engine as filter stud stripped out of the carby.

at a guess date 8/89 for EA, a EA S-pak I brought had snowflakes.

its a Hall Effect TFi distributor, I know with MSD its common to remove the module & then 12V+ve(ignition), signal wire to MSD, Earth/12V-ve, & MSD Hall effect uses points pickup wire (White)

I have 1 7/8'' to 3 1/2'' 4into1 Proflow headers & have decent clearance to starter motor, but did add a heat fabric type heat shield just incase. I have B&M pan & aeroflow braided flexable dipstick on my C4 (pan fill/C10), I added a male to male fitting into the pan, then a female to female 90° fitting, then B&M dipstick adapter, then aeroflow dipstick. Standard pan & dipstick 'just' cleared my extractors, but also know @clevocortina copied my setup for his XD as he had clearance issues,

from memory E1 was same as XD/XE 56-58cc

It was the Accel pump diaphram, just leaked fuel everywhere, Filter stud had came lose a few times was a bad fit, I was like where did it go... must of fallen on the ground. bit later, knock knock knock. was alright with a new stud, Piston had part of the stud stuck in it after I removed the head, (RHS of broken section), block looked good & is standard bore so should clean up alright.
