To press back in make sure you push on the steel on the outside edge of the bushing. Pushing on the rubber normal get you no were.

You are referring to the diameter of the primary tubes. The general rule of thumb is the larger the primary tube diameter the more high RPM horsepower the motor is CAPABLE of producing but this will result in a decrease of low end raw torque usually. Switching to a smaller primary tube design will generally reduce high end horsepower but will provide more power at low RPM and right off of idle. There are MANY more factors to consider when comparing headers than primary tube size alone. Primary tube length, collector diameter, collector length, Tri Y design, or standard 4 into 1 collector can all cause a motor to produce more or less horsepower and/or torque at any given RPM. Another consideration is quality of the product. The flange thickness at the cylinder head is very important. they can range from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch with the thicker ones being more preferable due to longer header gasket life. Primary tube wall thickness is something to watch, as well as the different types of corrosion resistant coatings are all important to look for. The collectors can come in different designs as well. Different headers from different manufacturers are routed in different patterns (ie) fenderwell exit. I had a set of Heddman headers on my 77 F250 w 400M and the header on the passenger side had 2 tubes passing through the gap between the frame rail and the starter behind the motor mount and the other 2 tubes went forward of the motor mount and wrapped around and slid into the collector with a close tolerance fit. Sounded like a good idea at installation but after years the starter went bad and I found where the header tubes slid into the collector had corroded and bonded to make removal impossible. In order to get starter out I had to cut header with a cutting torch (or remove the motor). I didn't like either option. I then ordered a set of generic PAW brand headers and they were routed in a different pattern on the right side (all 4 tubes hugged the starter which heat soak isn't good for starters either). When I converted to the 429 I had a shop build me a set of custom fenderwell exit headers which are the best possible way for them to be run in my opinion. (plenty of room to work on motor (ie starter, plugs) and the under hood temperatures are significantly lower now. Hope this helps a little...

Ford used blocks with part number C6ME and C6ME-A for 390, 410 and 428 engine size. They were made 1966-1976 most were 390's I suppose. there were other part #'s used on 428's. Also, if you don't mind solid lifters, 62-63 406 blocks make a 428 with the long crank.

Not only does it run smoother while it's hot, the vapor lock or whatever was happening (I think its amplified here in the higher altitude) has been completely eliminated. Seems like a much better idea to push the fuel through the line (its installed right below the driver's side seat on the outside of the frame) rather than try to pull it.... I still need to install the oil pressure safety switch and run all new wiring, but I wanted to try it out before doing the whole thing. All I can say is that in the 23 years that I've had this truck, it has only "died" on me three different times, and all three times, it was the fuel pump..... Soooooo, if your FE seems to run pretty rough in the hot weather, but is smooth just after warming up, and/or seems to "bog out" after letting the truck sit for 20 minutes after being hot and firing it up again, this might be something to look at....

I suspect this exhaust manifold has never been off before. And some of the bolt heads seem to be slightly rounded. Out of concern that manifold bolts will be difficult to remove (and possibly break) and also exhaust pipe (actually crossover) studs have minimal threads remaining (need replacing), I am planning to pull the intake manifold and remove the left head with exhaust manifold attached. This will allow access to manifold bolts with the head/exhaust manifold assembly on bench. I can then soak oil around the bolts at the head and heat head around bolts as needed. Also, I plan to use a 36" belt sander to surface the exhaust manifold as needed. Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated on: 1). The above plan, 2). Disassembly of intake, head, and exhaust manifold, 3). Removal of exhaust manifold bolts, 4). Replacement of exhaust pipe studs. Several notes: 1). If I remove the left head, I will probably go ahead and remove both heads and lap valves (compression is 120 lbs across all cylinders), 2). There is oil leakage from areas of intake manifold/heads. Hopefully, replacing the intake manifold and head gaskets will take care of this leak. 3). I have not been able to match up the threads on the exhaust pipe (actually crossover) studs, does anyone know what the thread size is?
