I replaced the fuelhose, thought i wouldnt hurt, the old one seemed a bit worn (didnt replace that one in the rebuild, all other is new…) Drove for 30 minutes, and it worked fine- no stumbling what so ever at full throttle.

Maybe it didnt get it right (english is not my native language…)- Its the hose connecting the fuelpump to the tank i talking about. :) And yes- problem becomes evident when engine is hot and warm weather.

Hi! 2 times when ive been driving my 65 in warm weather, the engine has begun to stumble and misfire on hard throttle. The engine is rebuilt this winter, and i did a ultra-sonic cleaning on the Edelbrock 1406 at the same time. My theory is that i get too lean when the secondarys open, due to the rub...

Hi all! I rebuilt my COM and 390 this winter. My trans runs i 1st gear for a long time before shifting to 2:nd. Under hard acceleration is sometimes slips to 1st.

I have previously had some trouble with the battery discharging When i drive at night with radio and headlig...

If you are a dues-paying member of VTCI you would have found an article in the November-December 2020 issue of the Club's 'Thunderbird Scoop' magazine covering topic of ammeter differences between 1964, 1965 and 1966. Inserting the word "ammeter' in the "Search" box at the upper righ...

Hi!
I have rebuilt my FE 390, going to reinstall it in my 65 any day now.

I have bought 3 pcv rubber grommets now, having a hard time getting one that fits properly.

Most internet shops doesnt list the measurements.

Do any of you guys have a suggestion what to buy?

Yes, i do. :)

Didnt know what to call it.
