I would really love to see what does Ed do to improve a ford 300 inch 6 cylinder. I feel like the man has worked on a little bit of everything and he is very resourceful.
I enjoy your channel Barry! Ed is always fun to listen to. Please tell him his old business partner John Lane passed away last Thursday. John and his brother will be inducted into the Arizona Drag Racing Hall of Fame on March 30th.
I checked with Ed and yes, he did know about it. He told me that John had become quite an expert in rebuilding Corsair airplanes, quite a unique business he ended up in.
Thanks - Barry for another GREAT visit with Ed ----- Eighty-one degrees ---- I'll trade you our cloudy rainy day at forty-nine ---- It would be nice to be a little warmer ----- I think if I were a little younger --- I might have dropped in a Flat Head Ford v8 ----- This one is fairly nice --- all complete --- kind of hate to chop the top ---- different running gear ---- there is something about having an old car back in the period ----- If were like ---- say my '38 --- needs smoothing out ---- all apart ---- then , Yes ---- a Chop is coming ---- modification to the ride ----- with a Merc Flat Head ------ Make sure to say Hello to Ed and to tell him ---- Thank You for taking time out to share with us ----- I for one really appreciate listening to him --- And Barry Thank you for bring it to us ------ Hope you all have a Good Week ------ Rodney
for somebody who have some machining facilities, converting the original Ford distributor to electronic is fairly easy using a chrysler V8 reluctor ring, Chrysler Pick up coil and a GM HEI 4 pin module, to complete the system, you can use a Ford TFI coil. this is far more reliable than kits
I don’t know from my own experience, but I’m sure that’s another way to do it. You might notice that Ed likes to do things himself with parts he has laying around … he makes his own kits! Thanks for watching 👍
Hey I don’t know if you and Ed would ever do a question and answer episode but if you do I would love to know how do you set dual points? And if he’s using a Chevy distributor the firing order and rotor speed from cylinder to cylinder must be the same as using the original distributor? And wouldn’t it be better to use the timing gear cover that you referred to as aluminum with the bottom support be better for a higher rpm type engine? And if you want the dual points wouldn’t it be better to use the earlier block with front mount distributor? And finally what Chevy engine had dual points or from where did the distributor come out from? I really enjoyed the video I could listen to Ed’s wisdom all day long!😀🇨🇦
Thank you, Keith! Perhaps I can get Ed to do a Q&A episode collecting really good questions like you have here… Thanks for the comment and the good questions!
enjoy listening to Ed talk about engines and all the things that he does to them
Thanks for that encouraging comment, Ron!
Love Ed. His knowledge is Amazing!
Ed knows how to do it!
It's always great to listen to Ed talk about engines and spread around his knowledge and little tricks.
Thank you for joining in!

He might, I’ll have to ask… Although those 300 in.³ six cylinders were pretty bulletproof to start with, but I think you mean more power…
I would be happy to see any tips that Ed has to offer. I recently built my 300 Inline so it is of personal interest to me.

Will do, John. Thanks. 🙏

Yes, he was world renowned for his work with WWII aircraft, especially the Corsair and TBM/TBF Avenger.
