Thread: 302 for Smithkid

    Here are a couple shots of what I have now. I see that I need to tighten that cable nut before any more driving.

    Notice the black bracket that the cable housing mounts to. That is just a 1/8" steel plate bent 90 degrees with some carefully placed holes. It bolts to some cast in bosses on the #8 intake runner. I don't remember if the manifold Gene has now has those bosses. One could just make a bracket that used the two rear carb studs instead.

    Well.... I didn't get mine done/running for Christmas, but I'm so close I can almost taste it! Hopefully in the next week or two.

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Still making progress, even though it's cold, and this is the FAMILY time of year. Roger has been here to help a couple of times and, being the "Rube Goldberg" kind of guy he is, has gotten my throttle linkage to work using much of the original hardware. Attached is a pic of the result. Very sanitary. Gonna get out there and brave the cold again today. Hope to attempt starting the engine REAL soon.

    Have a SAFE and enjoyable New Years celebration!

    I think I better look up who this Rube guy is, and soon. No telling what Gene is really saying here about me.

    Well, I just looked up "Rube Goldberg" too. I guess I should have egg on my face. My Dad used that expression a lot, and I always thought it meant just the opposite of what I find today. I was trying to say that Rogewr took something quite complicated and made it work very simply (however, not without a LOT of noodling and a few trial runs). But it seems great, and I think I just need to find the right spring combination to give me the feel I want (I think it's close already). Anyway, I was attempting to thank/compliment him!

    Sadly Gene and I ran into another hitch today on his. The Power Steering pump got all bolted up and I said the dreadful words "OK, now how do we run a belt to it?" He has no crank pulley with the right groove. I think he needs this crank pulley:

    Anybody got one floating around they don't need? At a good-ol'-guy Falcon friend discount? $150 on eBay!

    Thanks Roger. You came up with what looks like the proper piece faster than I did. I added it to my watch list for ebay, but sure don't want to have to pay that price. I'll repeat Roger's request from my own keyboard: HELP!

    Pulleys

    I looked and didn't have one, but before you pay $150.00 for that , for a nother $50.00 you can get the billet set from Summit for $195.95. Hopefully you'll find one, this is just a thought. Good Luck, Falcon1

    Great John. I'll take it. I was at your home once 3 or 4 years ago, but surely don't remember how to get there anymore. If you'll PM me with a address to meet you, I'l come & get it.
