Looking for a Holley NH carburetor that is not rebuildable. Any fittings or parts such as
the throttle or choke body are not needed. Threaded or machined surfaces can be stripped

Basically looking for the blank body casting.

Thank you

I had a similar experience with my T. I could get it to idle but had no power and a lot of vibration after going to high gear. Also had extreme shuddering or bucking going from low to high gear. Did a short test of cylinder plugs and found #4 cylinder no change and #3 cylinder questionable. Next did...

Just finished replacing a blown head gasket on our 27 depot hack and noticed the head to be cast aluminum.
The head has the Ford logo on it.
Did ford make an aluminum head or should I assume the head to be an aftermarket item?

Thank you

I have rebuilt engine that is stiff to turn over. I was thinking about pulling the spark plugs and squirting oil in each cylinder then

Kind of like a poor mans engine run in stand.

Also the front camshaft journal and thrust face also needs to be touched up by

Thank you for the center to center dimension.
One bracket is bent in 1/2" in. Looks like a little heat will
fix.
Did a check on the pan for level and twist by placing on
Vertical mill using DRO.
Every thing else looks good.

Thanks

John

johnr

I have noticed one of the pan brackets is bent in slightly. I want to fix this

Where can I go to get the center to center distance to straighten it, or if

No frame available to measure.

Thank You
