Yes. I have the Yblock magazines with that information. I got it cheap with the idea of cobbling up a EFI manifold using the runners and mounting flanges. If I remember the Edelbrock 573 was the one that tested best. The last thing Walt Knuckles did was adapt a EEC IV TFI ignition module to Y block distributor. I intended on fabbing up a manifold with long runners and plenum similar to the GT40 Intake and use the Ford Racing Parts MAF kit along with a Ford (Powerdyne) supercharger kit from my previous 95 F150 Lightning. Big ideas but life has it's own directions sometimes. There isn't much serious Y block interest in the SF bay area. Wish there was more West Coast action. I am thinking of warming up the TBird 312 while I have it out. It runs fairly strong as it is but it would be fun getting it up to 300 hp. I would like one of the milder cams, headers, and a new better sounding dual exhaust. At the least, I am going to get one of Mummerts new 4 bbl aluminum intakes and a finned valley cover to go with the stock finned Tbird covers already on it.

Mark: A side note. If you still have the Offy Tri Power, an article in YBM about intakes,concluded that intake has a very poor interior design & performs poorly.

Welcome Mark,

I only recently joined,and like you I had been reading this

site and the FE site. These are a great bunch of guys and

are full of info regarding our favorite mill.

Yeah, it's too bad about Walt Knuckles. I got a lot of info

from him.

Mark,

Another welcome to the site from your neighbors in the valley.  Being that you have Y-Block Magazine and some Y-Blocksforever experience now, you know what a great bunch of gear heads live here.  We don't do T-Birds (wish we did), but if you are ever in our neighborhood, please stop by to say hello.

We spent New Years Eve in Santa Cruz, sure like your beach community weather (t-shirts Saturday afternoon!).  We are 80 miles from Fomoso and I bet we have passed each other a few times at March Meets.

Thanks for the good welcome. I recognize most of you from articles in Y Block Magazine and from the old Ford Y Block forum that Knuckles, Pegleg, and others used to post at. I have some questions about work on my Bird so I will start another thread.

Mark, you will love this site because it has some of the most knowledgable people world wide that know and love yblocks. Best place for problem solving concerning yblocks anywhere and we're looking for your knowledge on these old fords as well. WELCOME!

Mark.  Welcome to the site.  Just feel free to ask questions and contribute.  And enjoy being part of a great bunch of folks.  Ditto on Walt Knuckles as he’s a local legend in my part of the country and is genuinely missed.
