After having done Ol' Furd with a complete new harness, plus the Holley Terminator, I would suggest going all in and do both at the same time....
Not much to do on Ol' Furd except drive it. I have a couple road trips planned, the first up into the PNW. Up highway 395 through northern...
Here's a motor shot. You can see the hard lines on top routed around the valve cover, with the PTFE braided lines connecting those to the chassis...
Here in California, ethanol laced fuels are all there is. Now I may have gone overkill on Ol' Furd, but I went SS hardlines back to front with...
Those were good days! Some of the best times of my life. Made a lot of friends, and did a lot of traveling to tracks we never would have otherwise...
Probably if I had not proudly announced at the beginning of the thread that they were 17s, no one woulda said a thing. Ain't the first time I said...
The stated reason was 17" wheels, a size that seems to be taboo for vehicles that din't come with 17s. Maybe if I had early wire spoke 17s it...
I'll contribute. The Blue Ghia, known to west coast drag racers as "The White Knuckle Ride". Featured in VW Trends and the French magazine "Super...
Sooooo, the moderators moved this thread to "off-topic" because of my wheel choice. I get it. Rules are rules. Does that mean I get to talk about...
Here's something you don't see everyday. A '56 Chevy with a nailhead Buick motor. I'll be dipped! [ATTACH]

Thanks G. I will definitely look at that.
The photos above is the way my rear brakes are configured, everything in its proper place. With an eye toward function, it seems that the shoe...
Yeah, I checked that orientation. They are correct. But those adjuster thing-a-ma-bobs sure ain't quality stamped pieces. The pilot side barely...
Well, a couple things today. I taped the windows to see if the wind noise was coming from between the glass and the channel felt. It ain't that....
Definitely, DEFINITELY wind noise. On the way home there were some pretty strong winds, and the wind noise was much more severe. I'm gonna tape...
I'll keep that in mind! It'll be early May i think. I'd love to meet up and check out the black truck in person!
I dunno. I can't feel any air leaks, and the doors shut with a bit more effort when the glass is up, so I think it's sealed pretty good. Maybe the...
The Cayucos show was great. A bit expensive to enter, but the crew fed us dinner and drinks at check-in of Friday. Firestone 805 on tap, which is...
One other thing to check that no one has mentioned. Is the push/pull rod in straight alignment? Or do they engage at an angle? Good alignment is...
Thanks Jerry! That's a pretty nice show. Not only was it at no cost, but local country music talent John Pemberton was singing. His style is much...
And, "they" won't understand why street racing has increased.
Cayucos Car show this weekend, Nov. 2. Of course the weather report is calling for a bit of rain in the morning. While some people won't stand...
I am sad to see this. Apparently it's just going to be a parking lot. I've raced my OT Karmann Ghia there for dozens of years, and made hundreds...
There's millions still out there, running along, trouble free. It seems the majority of trouble comes from high lift, fairly aggressive cams with...
So, it's been a while since the last update. The biggest change has been a change to the induction that cannot be spoken of. In the meantime, just...
Lemondana, I truly feel your pain on a very personal level. I too lost my wife of 37 years, 11 years ago from the evil that is cancer. A part of...
The detail on the bed modification starts on page 8 of my build thread.......
This here is "Ol' Furd". 1965 F100 that I saved from the crusher. 300 inline, with an OT induction system, Tremec T5 trans, Vintage Air AC, power...
You could try cracking the line at the MC to see if it is holding any pressure. If no fluid squirts out, you can pretty much eliminate the MC as...
