Humble, Texas, United States
|
I bought this as a project to do with my kid. Life has changed and it is not going to get done. It is a driver at present but it is still a project. It sat for 7 years till I decided to let it go. The guy I bought it from died shortly after sending it to me so there was no sending it back. It was not as described but he was sick so I just kept it and was going to help my kid fix it right. 63 Falcon Sprint. A real one. That is the good news. Bad news is that it has been modified. 302 Roller Motor from an HO . Has a mild solid roller cam. Sounds great. Has great low end. Electronic distributor. (Ford). Starts with one half turn of the crank. T-5 five speed with after market shifter. Growls some in 3rd gear but shifts great. Has a scattershield. Clutch unknown. No chatter. No slip. Shorty headers. Flowmasters (quiet must be Deltaflows). 9 " rear. 31 spline axles. Detroit Locker. Traction Bars. They work. This thing will do a burn out till next Tuesday without much effort. Griffin radiator, aluminum. Electric fan. Cable clutch. Brand new ignition switch. Battery in the trunk. Tires will do to move it around and do burn outs but don't go too far. I have done the safety stuff already. It has rebuilt alternator, new regulator, all wiring fixed for the charging circuit and it makes 14.1 volts. Fuel lines are replaced so no fuel leaks. It has a new Holley 670 street Avenger. Works great. Holley red pump. Pressure regulator. 7 psi. I will answer any questions the best I can. I did not get too deep into this so some things I don't know. It really does run like a champ and it has good oil pressure, 70 psi. And I have not been able to make it run over 180 degrees. We are busy racing cars and I have 2 other "whole car projects" so this one is not going to get done by me. Someone find it a home!! Good basics are here. Ask questions before you buy. I will tell you everything I know. Shipping is on you. Cash or cashiers check US banks only. |

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
