RE: 289 Hipo Crankshaft Identification (score: 1): Author: "Bob Palmer" <rpalmer@ucsd.edu>; Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2004 22:06:34 -0800; Mannel's book lists C3OZ-6303-B as the part number for HiPo cranks from '63 to '67. The early cranks were only distinguished by "1M" stamped on the first counterweight. On some, the rear counterweig; /html/tigers/2004-03/msg00014.html (7,913 bytes)

RE: 289 Hi-Po Crankshaft Identification (score: 1): Author: "Bob Palmer" <rpalmer@ucsd.edu>; Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 21:07:19 -0800; It seems this topic has already been extensively debated on the HiPo Mustang List. One noteworthy thing I found out was that Bob Mannel has interviewed an ex-Ford employee that claims to have been a; /html/tigers/2004-03/msg00025.html (9,130 bytes)

RE: Non-functioning instruments (score: 1): Author: "Bob Palmer" <rpalmer@ucsd.edu>; Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 09:22:01 -0800; This isn't John's primary problem, since the tach doesn't work either, which means there is also no voltage to the voltage stabilizer. But it's common for the mounting screw to come loose, or some co; /html/tigers/2004-03/msg00085.html (7,500 bytes)

RE: Compressors (score: 1): Author: "Bob Palmer" <rpalmer@ucsd.edu>; Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2004 07:36:27 -0800; I also have an old compressor - bought it around '75 at Sears - and have worried about tank failure. I calculated that at 150 psi, it has about the same energy as a stick of dynamite. Here's a coupl; /html/tigers/2004-03/msg00166.html (6,658 bytes)

It's probably a good idea to check the wheel bearings and, if they look OK, then remove all the old grease and re-grease them.

In general you have the choice of lowering the compression or using a bigger cam. You can probably guess which I would choose. But if you lower the c; /html/tigers/2003-12/msg00003.html (7,375 bytes)

The 'dog' in this topic is compression ratio, and the 'tail' is octane. Higher compression gives more power (or torque if you insist).; /html/tigers/2003-12/msg00050.html (7,248 bytes)

Turn it until you get it about right at mid-range. As Theo says, the dual point just changes the relative on/off ratio. However, this does have a co; /html/tigers/2003-12/msg00051.html (7,030 bytes)
