<< from what i read some wheres the reason K&N filters flow more is because they dont filter as much and let more dirt into the engine gordon >> My unscientific understanding is that that's true. They use the oil suspended in the cloth/paper mesh to do the filtering. Thus the cleanability aspect of them. In theory, the oil is what gets dirty, not the filter structure itself. Ive used them on several cycles in the past. Worked very well on the dirt bikes and even the street bikes I had. Never had an auto version but wouldn't expect any different. The point is, they must be used with the oil or the just don't filter worth diddly. George M in Fl. ------------------------------ From: GMontgo930 aol.com

<< Well, duh, if I had one I'd put it on the ground or drive to wash it, too. But how many people rush around and can't wait for it to quite dry and put it on damp? What do you do in the winter? If you like it, great. It's just one of those things I don't see the true advantage to. Besides, I've seen people hosing off their engines at car washes, tilting their lawnmowers up on its side and hosing it down, laying the hose down and running water down the street because they are too lazy to walk two steps and shut it off. Are you washing that oily gunk from the filter off onto the ground? That's probably a violation of federal law plus you are putting oil into the ground water.....Shall I rant on? Naw. Like Ken said about the wonder carbs, if it's so great, why aren't the manufacturers licensing it? >> If Im not mistaken (and like I mentioned earlier my not-soo-wise cycle days were a while ago), teh oil K&N uses has or is a water soluable base. Now, I would assume that the Feds know all about K&N's system ans if they deamed it a threat, they would of shut them down years ago, prior to the dawn of this envirmentally friendly, governement invasive, save teh hootowls and damm the humans, legislative cycle that we are in. In terms of oily goo washed down the street, well, it's the dirt contained in teh filter oil and whatever the oil itself is made of. Last I checked, most "Dino" oils were not water soluable, so Im lead to believe it's composed of somthing else. Seriously, I know of a number of filtering systems using a filter "oil" agent. Most are water soluable and break down well in it. Compressed air aids in teh drying cycle also. As to why nobody else is pedeling it? well I cant say. Maybe pattents, who knows. Im just saying that they worked well on teh small high reving cycle engines I used them on and were teh filters of choice really. But it's all what you want really.

> >I wonder then. Does anyone know any performance >parts for the 351M? Besides putting a 4barrel on it? Yo Don: All the 351C 2V valvetrain parts (except pushrods) will fit in the 351M, timing sets, camshaft, rocker arms, and valve gear. You can improve the 351M's performance with a better camshaft. Aftermarket timing sets allow you to advance the factory cam to eliminate the factory cam timing retard. Edelbrock and Weiand both make EGR and non-EGR intake manifolds for the 351M/400 (M-block) family of engines. These manifolds allow you to use any standard square-bore 4V carburetor. Several companies make headers for the M-block engines. Since the M-block head design is almost identical to the 351C 2V head, any header made for the 351C 2V head will bolt up to the M-block head (but might not fit in your truck). The only performance part specifically made for the 351M engine is the TRW #L2466F forged piston. It raises the stock 8.0:1 compression ratio to approximately 8.6:1. The main problem w/ the 351M is low compression and an oddball unique piston design that doesn't interchange w/ anything else. To really improve performance, the best thing is to rebuild the engine as a 400 (different crankshaft and pistons). In the 400, you can use almost any 351C piston to get the compression ratio you want (just bush the rods to accept the smaller floating pins in the 351C pistons), or you can get direct replacement inexpensive cast pistons to give you 9.0:1 CR. Once you get the compression ratio up, all the other goodies (cam, carb, headers) will help that engine make serious power.

Subject: K&N air filters (my opinion) Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 18:55:18 -0500 I installed a 14" x5" open element K&N filer on my 390. I did notice a difference in throttle response when I put mine on. And it does make the Holley 4 barrel sound really cool when it opens up. I do believe it is a good product and actually flows more air. I also believe it filters just as good, if not better than a paper element if you take care of it. If it were snake oil, would all the popular magazines such as Hot Rod use and endorse it? ---Garrett www.1966ford.com ------------------------------ From: "Garrett Nelson" <garrettnelson writeme.com>

The rocker shaft springs are looking pretty thin on the ends where the rockers rub, and I'd like to replace. I see in my P.A.W. catalog, that they sell aluminum tube seperators to replace these springs. Anybody ever used these...I realize they're nothing more than glorified aluminum tubing cut to length, but wanted to how they would hold up in a daily driven truck vs. buying new springs. I checked at my local parts stores, and price wise, they're about the same as springs.... Dave P.S. - Went to the 4 Wheel Jamboree this past weekend in Indianapolis. If your anywhere near Indy...check it out next year....took the family, and we all enjoyed ourselves.

Subject: Re: a cleaner air cleaner I've been doing a lot of lurking lately, but this requires a response. I have recently installed K&N filters on both my 1962 Unibody w/351C and my 2000 Durango. I haven't had the filter in my truck long enough to really notice the difference, but, baby, that Durango flat out flies. Immediately after I installed it, I took a long trip (about 1300 miles round trip). I can feel and hear the difference in acceleration and top end (I don't know how fast--the speedometer only goes to 120). I haven't noted any increase in mpg on the road (I wonder why!), but around town I've gone from 10-11 mpg to 13-14 mpg (on average over several tanks). The Unibody already has so much get-up-and-go it's hard to tell how much the K&N helped, and mileage...? No idea...Don't want to know... My point is (and I know this is not a Mopar list--sorry) that I will never consider K&N filters "snake oil." Your engine needs air as well as fuel. You can't increase the fuel unless you increase the air...For as long as I have known that, I have done anything I could to increase the air input, and it has always helped...On anything from a 4-banger to a big block V-8...

Subject: COIL VOLTAGE Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 22:23:11 -0400 List Jeff Hansen's 78/79 F150 Mony Pit has a 429 with a rebuilt points type dizzy. He is getting 12 volts to the coil. I am certain this voltage is too high based on my experience with the "other brand". I am very familliar with the ignition circuit for them. Jeff told me that he was informed from a Ford Guru that Fords' point type dizzy's run on 12 volts. (OK Gary,the vehichles charging voltage, lol ) I know 12 volts on a cheby is applied to the coil only while turning over the motor to facilitate starting, mainly in cold weather, then the primary coil voltage is routed thru the resistance wire. This prolongs the points life. Is Ford different? I wouldn't think so. If I'm right, what size Ballast Resistor should be used? I could figure this out utilizing Ohms law but I want the easy answer. :) My 76 Ford Manual doesnt help me with this problem. :) If I'm wrong, well...I quit counting.

Beyond that point I will not venture :) That having been said I'm sure you'll understand if this is a ridiculous question. My father has a good, running 361. My question is 3 parts: 1) Is it possible to make a 361 a 391? I understand that a 360 and 390 differ only in the length of stroke and that a 390 crank in a 360 block makes a 390 , with piston and rod swaps of course(correct?). Does the same apply to the FT's? IOW, do 391 guts make a 361 a 391? 2) what are the differences in these parts between the FT and FE series motors? does a 360 and 361 share the same crank, etc, and likewise do the 390 and 391? What I'm getting at is this: how hard would it be to find the crank, rods and pistons for a 391 to do the conversion? 3) Can a 391(or 361) be used in a F-250? Would tranny compatibility be a problem? Would there be any other problems with doing this? We've been toying with the idea of doing SOMETHING with the 361, but we're not sure what we can do with it. Any advice/help is greatly apreciated.

Just be sure to check in the box & make sure they put the right filter in the right box. I hate additional wasted trips to the parts store.

What do you do in the winter? Well since the car has the first K&N I bought on it, winter wasn't a problem, it sits through the whole thing. You're also only supposed to clean them a few times, every 10K miles or whatever (I drive the truck barely that every year now, so winter isn't a problem). Also the compressed air is frowned upon for drying because it can rip the cotton material inside if you're not careful. Its not really a big thing though, I realize not everyone's got patience to wait for it to dry, but if you pull it out, wash it up (in the sink in the basement thankyouverymuch), and then let it sit while you're changing the oil ... it should be dry by the time you're done ... > Like Ken said about the >wonder carbs, if it's so great, why aren't the manufacturers licensing it? > In what sense ? It is actually an FRPP/SVO/FMS/whateverythey'recalledthisweek part if you go into Ford ... so they've obviously "bought into" this as well. I think theirs might even use a cool blue element instead of the reddish oil :) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish Ford Truck Enthusiasts http://www.ford-trucks.com ------------------------------ From: "wish" <wish ford-trucks.net>

Actually it does get cleaner, if I remember right its like 90% filtration versus 80% filtration, or something like that (I've got the numbers at home if someone's really interested). But the restriction and the time I think was the big thing ... how many people really changed that oil-bath oil ? Also if you can pick up 5hp by putting a paper element in and save someone 20min of labor when they go to change it, back in the musclecar wars, that would've been a great thing ... Anyone remember Mt. St. Helens ? They had problems with the "new" (at the time) bobcats moving all the ash, they'd just die suddenly, turned out those paper filters were clogging up and not letting any air into the motor at all ... the "old" ones were still runnin oilbath, the ash sat on top and the air still percolated through ... that's the story from my Tractor Power professor anyway, maybe someone out in WA can confirm or deny it ...
