Hello all, it’s been a very long time I apologize I’ve missed this site a lot. One crazy year as a senior in high school been scrambling trying to find if I’m still graduating or not lol. Anyways back to falcons I have a lot of free time now with only online classes so I’ve devoted some time to my 64. Here’s a quick catchup to get you all to speed.
144 engine runs fairly well but minor issues I’ve noticed. 1 is it smokes like a train sometimes. Like whenever I’m driving this car in like half suffocating from both exhaust and blow by fumes out the draft tube. If you give it throttle or load I can see a sizeable puff of blue smoke out the exhaust and into the car through various holes. I’m thinking valve seals because she still has good compression and always fires up after 2-5 cranks and doesn’t seem to be pushing out a lot of blow by. Another issue is it falls flat on its face transitioning from 0% throttle to anywhere below 25%. Engine just wants to die. Makes it hard to pull away from away stop without stalling or slipping the clutch a lot. Also I know this is transmission but does anyone know where I can find parts. The transmission is so loud in neutral now it’s louder than the engine is idling. And it makes horrible noises seems like the Input Shaft bearing is completely shot.
Thanks all
