Confirmed, they are the L model seatbelt reel covers on the firewall panel. I switched back from a 4 point harness to a regular 3 point belt retractable and used generic 3 point replacement classic car seatbelts.

Help with bearing ID?
by Mike Drew 24 Nov '24

24 Nov '24

Guys, I found this bearing in a box of random Pantera parts. Glancing at its appearance, I assumed it was an AC idler pulley bearing. But investigation shows it’s quite a bit larger in diameter. Check out the pics: The only other bearings I can think of with this configuration are the real wheel bearings which of course are much larger. So, what the heck is this? He owned a Mangusta too—could this be a Mangusta jackshaft bearing? Mike Sent from my iPad Guys, I found this bearing in a box of random Pantera parts.

Kurt, I’m getting forum email messages delivered, no problem. But people who were going to a web address to view the archives, are telling me they are getting a 404 error. What is the address for the archives now? Thanks! Mike Sent from my iPad

Stock headlights needed
by MIKE DREW 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Guys, A friend plans to do away with the rectangular halogen headlights that were fitted to his car when he bought it and wants to return to stock lights. He needs ALL the pieces to mount round lamps, including the chrome trim rings. Surely somebody out there who converted his car to something other than stock, has all the original bits gathering dust and would like to turn them into Christmas cash? Please contact me off-list if you can help. Thanks! Mike Sent from my iPad

Bluepoint 408 Stroker Windsor Issues? Roller cam builds Noisy???? NNPC
by Steve Liebenow 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

All, Chasing a noisy-ish 408 roller Windsor build from Bluepoint. My son's car.....runs very strong, but at idle the thing randomly clacks from #4 or #8 primarily. No monster cam lifts (mid .500's)....no monster compression ratios (high 9s?). Good strong street build. Bluepoint sent him a new set of (same) lifters and an upgraded set of Comp roller rockers. The new parts didn't cure anything. Lash is set at 3/4 turn tight from zero lash. ( I ran my roller 331 in the Goose at 1/4 turn from zero and never a noise like we're seeing here! Std volume oil pump!) Responses across the web include "Fords are just noisy" which I say BS, otherwise every 5.0 Mustang from 75-94 would be rattling down the road! Every 94-95 351W based van....same thing......so I call BS to this! Oil pressure is rock solid at just sub 50psi. This is at 800-900rpm idle....which I believe is also unreasonable.....unless this is the engine builder's way of compensating for poor lifters???? I know that #4 and #8 are last on the oil food chain.....and potentially could be suffering......but have never heard of this on production engines. What sez the crowd??? Anyone running one of these Fords??? Thanks!Steve All, Chasing a noisy-ish 408 roller Windsor build from Bluepoint.

All, Take two on testing photo handling. See text description below. The 1.5mb photo upload failed. I’ve never been able to upload a file larger than 1.0 mb.

List status
by Kurt Byrnes 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

Folks, Sorry for the delay getting the list back up. There were DNS issues that took a week for transfers and propagation to happen and then I was out of town for a week. As of now, I think the list is back up and running. The list was migrated to the latest version of mailman3. There are a few hoops I need to jump through to finish migrating the archives so they're still in process. Again, sorry for the delay but hopefully things are up. Kurt
