first check your timing. i like to set mine at 10 initial. then check the accelerator pump. you need to tune the stroke so you get a smooth flow of fuel. sometimes an increase in the length of the stroke is all you need. some times the size of the pump shooter is all you need. sometimes you need to change both.

Is that booklet available in reprint/production? I'd like to have it.
I was fortunate to be working at a Ford dealership in the summer of '69 when the original Muscle Parts booklet arrived. I got the first one outta' the box. Still have it and have used it as a reference countless times. I missed out on picking up the supplement you've linked us to but have seen it. A friend even has one......that's the one I've looked at over the years, hmm,now that I think about it, he might be ready to trade something..

I got mine at a portland swap meet about 15 years ago. And you could get them in any egine size.

Tim,
They were produced for installation on 1969 Mustang hood scoops. There was never an original 427 Mustang, only the emblems. I would guess it was produced by accident much like the 1969 Cougar GTE emblems which also show up at swap meets from time to time. These emblems must have been produced in the 100's because they are quite common and I would say worth very little. After all, who needs one?

390 = Cubic Inches
67 = Model Year 1967
8 = Change Level
6 = Year of production 1966
K = Month of production, August
313 = Identification of engineering assembly code. This engine was a 390 - 4V with Ford / Autolite 4V carb. These were installed in early 1967 Fairlanes with engine code "Z" and were a non - GT engine.

Depends on what piston ring groove width's you have, but the SpeedPro's are pretty hard to beat but spendy.........

Oops, that's a D, not a B for the first letter.

Looks like to me you have a 65-66 427 w medium riser 427 heads with 88.0-91.0 cc combust chambers. 2.185/ 2.195 int valving and 1.723/ 1.733 exh valving. Over all a very performance oriented engine aquarding to steve christ's book. wish I had it.

haven't had any experience other than here say but it is all farley negitive on the ebock cams. heads and intakes are said to be solid pieces but that cams should be left to another company. Thats what everyone told me so I didn't get it. I am considering a crower or a comp cam. with near the same lift and duration @.050"

I can't say from personal experience anything about the E-brock Perf.RPM cam. I do know that their initial offering of the RPM cam was based on similar specs as the C6OZ-B GT/PI/CJ cam. I even wrote to Edelbrock back then asking them how their cam was going to make horsepower all the way to 6,200 as they said in their literature. I never got a response. It was interesting because they were saying then that the RPM cam required adjustable rockers with their lifters. Of course if the lifters were anti pump-up, adjustables are required.
Now their second genertation RPM cam has much more aggressive specs. It "look" on paper as if it would be a cam that would make power from 1,500 - 6,200.....estimated. I don't have the specs in front of me here.
As for your question about reasonably priced adjustable rockers, you can buy adjustable FE rockers from most parts stores along with the correct push rods. Of course they'll have to order them for you. I would recommend two sources, first, Rob McQuarie at Blue Oval Performance, 3761 S. Kalamath St., Englewood, CO 80110, 303-762-8298. These people give outstanding service and they know what they're doing with all Ford engines including the FE. They would have a full selection of FE adjustables from basic stock to rollers. Another company that gave good service was Rocker Arm Specialist, e-mail: rocker@c-zone.net. They also offer a variety of FE rocker sets from basic to rollers. They've got 'em all at pretty reasonable prices.

Again, I'd be interested in hearing some real world performance facts and results on the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam/kit.

I went with Harland-Sharp roller tips on edelbrock heads with my 428 and had some problems. I had to take the oil baffles out or my valve covers wouldn't enen go on the engine. I do not like the factory adjustibles because they have no bearing surface just like the non-adjustibles, you get metal to metal and at 40,000 miles you have gauleded the shafts and the racker arms migrating shavings through the engine. This is the Ackilies Heal of ther FE engine. I think that any of the aftermarket rockers are better than the stock one. Just my .02.

I think the C2SE is a '62 406 Phill. But I think that the '63 406-4V 385 horse used these heads too. The '63 406-6V 405 horse used special C3AE-C. A '63 427 would not be stock with C2SE heads or tri power. If stock is what matters to you.
