Cool, thanks mate. I'll dig.one out of the shed. Do I ditch the module and just use the hall effect?

Hmm ok, worth buying a new tfi or are second hand ones typically ok?

My msd isn't programmable. So I need the vac and mechanical advance, 

 

 

 

No you don't. You have been told wrong... 

Really? Care to explain please. I don't like the mechanical advance..

Ok so plan is, cc the head. Get the intake manifold (redline or aussie speed) if the c2 head is around 47ish cc then I'll have it shaved, and fit the bloody t5 iv got on the shed floor!

My msd isn't programmable. So I need the vac and mechanical advance, just pulled the dizzy down, seems the mechanical advance was stuck, gummed up with years of shit.

Cleaned it out, heaps better but still seems sluggish. What sort of vac should I be aiming for? Iv been told the more the better at idle? Am I wrong?? Thanks for all the help guys.

What intake manifold would you recommend, a aussiespeed or redline? iv also got a nos rochester quadrajet here, supposedly its 735cfm. Might try make that work.

Hmm I'll get the c2 cleaned up and stick it on, it's starts great, idles with a very healthy note. Cams dialed in, shows 20in vacum at idle. Just no response.

Honestly mate I'm unsure of comp ratio. Never worked it out, it's currently auto, with the standard 2.77's but even out of gear it's sluggish. So would the c1 be a better option?? And it will be a t5 with 3.45 gears shortly. Springs are the recommended ones from crow, as are retainers and collets. If I drop the timing down it idles like a dog, simply won't work. And no matter how much Timing I stick in, it's doesn't ping. Starting to think the comp ratio is way to low. Turns out my other head is a c2, so how much could I theroticly shave off the head?

Forgot to mention the cam is a crow 14650.

Ok so iv just finished the motor in my xf, zero'd block, 20cc 30thou up pistons, heads an e1 with 40thou off of it, standard vac advance dizzy, msd Street fire (had it lying around) and blaster coil, but. Standard webber. The engine is flat. Cam timing is spot on, dizzy is at 18degrees initial, idle is as expected. My question is will a bigger carby help? Or is something else a miss. I also have a c1 head here, would that be worth shaving and fitting. Thanks

Iv done two in my xg, both were cheap aftermarket dizzys with the aftermarket gear. Fitted an original ford gear no problems since. Also had a mates do the same thing.to a replacement dizzy 2 weeks in. Easy enough to do in car, just goodluck finding one. Nobody lists the part, so best bet is to go wreckers and pull on out yourself and get the mated dizzy while your there. Cost me $25 for the last one

Also when I did my xg I unbolted all the rocker gear, then fit chain as it's heaps easier to line up. Otherwise your fighting the valve springs

Ok mate I'll start shopping

Any suggestions then mate. I'm open to ideas, I have a hydraulic bender and cut off saw so will be making it myself. Just want it to stay quiet inside.

Was actually looking at a single 2.5" dynomax vt. Mate of mine has one on his ba and works really well. Does exactly as it claims

Perfect, thanks mate

Hi all,

After opinions on an exhaust for the XF, currently it's bog stock and honestly I like the quietness in the cab, however I can't stand that from the outside you can't tell if it's on. So is there a compromise available for moderately quiet inside and noise outside. Previously I had lukey extractors with 2.5" pipe to a lukey muffler. Loved the noise, hated the incar noise at 60kmh. So any ideas fellas??
