Just wanted to let everyone know that the last of these panels were sold over a year ago.
Check out this page on my blog....it shows what I did with my AOD and a stock automatic column. I've been using it for a few years and it works...
Very nice.....congrats Danny
I did....along with a couple old alternators. The windings in those go for good money too.
It was pretty mangled Danny. Not just the core, but also the housing. I tossed it, and due to the fact that the 2016 convention was about to...
While supplies last... I found a supply of club t-shirts that I'd forgotten about. They're available on the club store at the link below. If the...
Sad story associated with that Walker. It died an unnecessary and untimely death at the hand of a 9 year old and a John Deere 318 lawn tractor. I...
:D I just said I was thinking about it. :) You know, that with all the work I did making my engine look retro, there's no way I'd install an...
Yeah....I had no idea it would be that bad. I was thinking a few horsepower....less than 5. Boy was I wrong. The other stuff they test, like...
If you're a subscriber to Motor Trend On Demand, you should watch the latest Engine Masters episode. (if you're not...it's $5/month and one of the...
I did this swap in my 54....love the 302/AOD combo and have driven it over 5,000 miles. I'd grab the newest Crown Vic I could find that still had...
Check out the graph I posted earlier in this thread.
I struck a deal with the web service provider for a limited amount of extra bandwidth for a reduced price.
Great story....can't wait for the rest of it.
The club website is back up. I went ahead and spent some money to upgrade the available bandwidth.
Thanks Texas57....and yes, you're correct, most folks have no idea the amount of work and $$ it takes to keep something like this up and running....
Here's a graph of the website's bandwidth usage....it goes absolutely nutso in December. I requested a list of IP addresses and what pages they...
I bought a generic air cleaner for a 4 barrel at a swap meet and cut the bottom out of it (the part that mounts to the carb). I then gutted the...
Hi Jim....I did exactly that with mine. Here's a link to my build blog where I discuss it....
Mine looked like that at one point (body and frame separated), and took several years to get to where it is now....a running driving car that I...
Like Danny, I'm running a carburetor on mine so my info may or may not be useful. I'm running the stock pedal, connected to the stock linkage...
As a guy who runs a car club, I've spent some time thinking about this topic and I have the following theory. My guess is that the truly...
Went to it one year in Fort Worth. Thought it was too expensive.
Yeah...in Houston today, near the Ship Channel, a cement truck driver was texting.....turned the whole rig over on Hwy 225, where it lay on its...
Oh yeah....mnfordfan is correct....my Edelbrock wasn't happy until I added a phenolic spacer to keep some of the heat off of it.
I've been running an Edelbrock 600 cfm in my 54 Ford for over a year now. I have a 94 HO 302 and an AOD transmission. The 302 is stock apart for...
Yes Danny....and that Ford/Chevy/Nissan/Oneida hybrid wagon of yours is about as bitchin' as anything I've ever seen...or had the pleasure of...
Think about it....they're not loyal to you. If you get creamed by a train today (God-forbid), they won't know...or care. Loyalty is for things...
A hopped-up 312 would make anything cooler....from an old roadster, to a vintage Camaro, to a Toyota Camry! :)
Nice car. I've never, ever understood the brand loyalty thing (and this is coming from the guy who runs the 54 Ford Club). Back before the clever...
