Those look like 14-inch wheel covers to me. There is a clearance feature for the valve stem on the 13-inch wheel covers. I don't see that feature on these pictures. On the 14-inch wheel covers,...
In the movie Ford v Ferrari there is a scene with a whole factory full of "new" 1963 falcons. We watched the extras and learned that they searched the whole country, found and bought...
Yeah, Roger did most of the work.
My contribution consisted of going down to Les Schwab and buying a new set of 14-inch whitewalls, and swapping the center Falcon "knock-offs" from the 13-inch...
The guy who owned the Falcon that had the first Scarebird four-lug Falcon install... still lurks.
Alas, he doesn't own a Falcon anymore. :(
No, it was a Canon Sure-Shot, and it was TWO megapixels!
Ahh...
I found this pic from "the early days". My 'puter says it's from 2006.
The new company is Vintage Inlines.

Glad to see her go to someone who will appreciate her.
AZ is where all those go-fast parts come from. I'd bet she'll show up in some way on the Ford Six Performance Forum.
:)
Alas... I do not have another set. I thought maybe there was a spare set when I was selling the car, but never found another set. I probably had a spare set of the ORIGINAL keys, but only had the...
Um... I believe I stated in an earlier post that it did NOT have clear coat.
It is amazing to see what you've done with her! [thumb]
Perhaps off topic... but since flat tappets were mentioned...
If you've got flat tappets, be sure to use ZDDP additive in your oil, or use oil with zinc additive already in it.
All modern engines...
I put on the McLendon's license frame. As I recall, the car didn't have a frame on the back, and one day McLendon's was handing out license plate frames as a promotional item, so....
Of course!
I have a couple of stories about previous owners.
First, there was the guy who came up to it at the Greenwood show in about, um... 2003(?). He said "I know this car. I was with the girl who...
Roger, I am glad that you've attacked the distributor. I did some radical stuff in there (as you've discovered) to try to get driveability back when I was struggling just to get it to run! With the...
I know why....
When I got the car painted (Maaco in 2003?), I opted not to pay the extra $$ to get the sills and underhood painted. Boy do I regret that decision!! I did get them to give me a...
1. Remove carburetor.
2. Turn screw.
3. Install carburetor.
4. Do cold start.
5. If you don't like the result, Return to step 1.
That was the only route I could find! :mad:
YEAH it sounds good!! :rocker:
I marvel that it doesn't try to quit when you let off the gas. Did you actually get the dashpot to work, or do you think the problem was just the way-too-rich jets...
No, I remember you told me to fix it! But I never did... :o
YES, PLEASE!! [thumb]
Deb wants to come, too. She'd always hoped to ride in her and not say "What's that noise... are we going to get there?"
Of course, Roger didn't tell you about the subsequent torque converter FAILURES!!
If you do end up needing another torque converter, get it from Hughes Performance in AZ.
It was internal. I did it the first winter I had the car (2001-2002). There was a puncture from damage on the top of the tank, so it needed to be sealed.
Probably a good idea to replace the...
Wow, Roger! You have accomplished more in just a few weeks than I would have able to do for the rest of my life!! I am in awe...
[BOW]
On swap day... seven years ago... you were so busy...
Inner spring??
I had compound (dual) valve springs in it, and I think that may have contributed to the cam/lifter failure. I don't know what was done in the Long's rebuild, but I had assumed they...
That gas pedal came out of a mid-'70's Galaxie. I'm guessing the Galaxie had a shallower slope to the floorboard. I always thought it felt wierd....
It interfered with the old carpet too. On the...
