Bill in NC's 65 F-85

Well.....just enough. These were new tires with about 20 miles on them by the time I made it to that show. 30 seconds later and....

Thanks man. We will be parked down in the tri oval grass area this spring at the autofair.

looks great bill, what paint did you use under the hood?

Just BILL

Thanks BRO!!!

robski, it's not the wine, those hoses are funky. Right out of the pump the pressure hose takes a 90deg bend towards the fender, then another 90deg bend towards the firewall. I believe they were listed for a 68 Cutlass. I am not a fan of that hose at all. If someone knows a year that has a 180deg bend out of the pump I would appreciate it. I really don't want to stress a pre bent line by bending it completely in the opposite direction, then subjecting it to constant vibration, temperature changes, and a high pressure flammable fluid aimed directly at a header.

Little update. I had to stop and get new back tires on the way to the AutoFair 2 weeks ago. With the trunk and car loaded it was just enough to slightly rub the sidewall of the 275's on a bump. And it got worse, and worse, and worse. I gave up on big tires and stepped back down to a 255/60 and I can load the car down and use it like it was meant to be used. Stepping down in overall height meant higher rpm's while driving. Today Dad and I swapped out the 3.89 gears for a set of 3.18's. I love the new gears. I can now hit the interstate without the engine running at 3,500rpm's.

Check out this set up! We did remove the pump before install.

There is a show coming up this next Saturday that is 3 hours away. I plan on making the drive, running the car (1/8th mile track) and driving back home. Can't friggin' wait!

where is the show next week?

There is a really good show coming up in Asheville, www.mountaineerantiqueautoclub.com/files/2012_Auto_Brochure.pdf
LOTS of cars, and parts

Bill,
