I've not been in about 8 or 9 years. Clearly an intense swap meet and I've never felt it worth going to if I could not spend at least 2 days there (motel needed, which was always a challenge to find any that were empty nearby).
It is really two swap meets in one location. The Portland Swap Meet and Portland International Raceway (PIR) Swap Meet. Miles of walking.

I'm only going to the PIR swap meet.
I'm staying in Kelso/Longview bringing over the travel trailer.
My 2015 f250 has the gear around the 6.7 powerstroke badge on the doors..
I think the air vents inside are gear shaped as well.
Yep has a holley 2300 series carb with a ford tag rivited to the air horn and a ford p/n stamped in it..
Too bad my weekend was so busy that i never got the carb back on the truck.

Its Alive....
Well sorta..
I cant get it started on its own, but once its started it will idle and run.
The carb needs some major adjustments something isnt right.
I think the squirter at the top of the carb is wrong.. doesnt spray fuel it dribbles it..
Step on the gas and ot wants to spit and stall.. once its warm its not as bad..
I drove it. Steering wheel is way off..
Sounds really good though.. im digging the Y block

But which came first? My '56 had the same emblem Kenny has as a coat hook.
There has to be some meaning to it - it certainly didn't mean they were lightning fast... though that might all be relative. I have an old post-card saying "You drive a car at 40 MPH - at 80 MPH you are aiming it!"
