      <content:encoded><![CDATA[New to the forum, i have a 72 Squire Q code car that actually appears to have a 1970 or 71 429 Cobrajet engine in it, havent been able to look t the actual block casting # but there is a Large A stamped on pad on drivers front side of block, I think 429 but could use a little help to narrow down whether i want to go get a 351 (original for year) or build what i got, any help would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Drivers head stamped DOVE-A, Passenger DOVE-C</li>
<li>large A stamped on drivers...</li>

We were lucky enough to see about 25 of the 50 states, from the West coast to Cape Cod, Wyoming to Texas, usually camping in tents or trailers. A truly great childhood.<br />

My Ranchero doesn&#039;t need any work, but my sister&#039;s coming over from MO in early September, so we&#039;ll cruise to some favorite Oregon sights. Then I&#039;m signing up for another Redwood Rally drag &#039;n drive event later that month. No dragging, but tagging along as a &#039;vagabond&#039; and camping overnight at each track.<br />

I would be interested to know if the top dead center mark on my car Harmonic Balancer is correct.<br />
<br />
Can this be used on a 1979 Ford 6.6 engine?<br />

Some say that it would hit the valves and cause damage to the valves, is that possible?]]></content:encoded>

<br />
I replaced the original at 90,000 miles myself from underneath by removing the engine pan (a real pain), removing the rear main bearing cap, drilling a tiny hole in the end of the upper seal half, threading in a small screw, and pulling out the upper seal  half.  At about age 37 I swore I&#039;d never due this again.<br />
