Sorry that I didn't catch up with any of you guys this trip. I did get the Slick out for a cruise on Thursday and Gerald can confirm that. I made it to the Edgewater Mall, turned and came back to park at Shaggy's on the water in Biloxi. There was a 66 short bed in the lot that night painted in Red/W...

S10 that doesn't run for a driveable 65 slick..... that one is easy. Go for the Slick. It sounds like most of the mechanical work has been gone thru, so you may get a lot of hassle free miles out of it. However, drive it and don't get carried away with a restoration. Rust free slicks in your neck of...

Uncle Skip, C'mon it's not that bad, I'm sorry you had a lousy experience. You just have to remember not to stray off Woodward and go no further south than 8 Mile. I've been in a lot of bad areas with my work and I've seen worse than Detroit. Detroit has a lot to offer the car enthusiast, most parts...

Grits, I'll be there if work and weather permit. There are a lot of cars that show up over here for the event and if you're within a few hundred miles, it's worth a trip over. However, you've not lived until you go to the Mecca of car shows. August 20th in Detroit is the Woodward Cruise. Anything an...

Ethanol fuel blends serve their purpose but the user had better take precautions when using them. Ethanol has an infinity for atmospheric moisture and will absorb it until the fuel reachs saturation and then the water will seperate and lay in the bottom of your fuel tank. Given that most cars have n...

LMC is hit or miss. I've bought a few $ worth from them and had no issue until I purchaed the center cross member extensions for my first 66. I spent hours heating and beating those expensive parts to finally make them fit. They are not a bad source for parts but can get junk shit that their vendor ...

Found the oil fill line on the air cleaner, I didn't see it when I was cleaning it the other day..... hence the question. On the carb spring, I called Pony Carbs and asked about it and after a minute on the phone I had a solution for it. Those guys were very helpfull. Has anyone used them on this si...

Tech, No, not yet on the carb/distributor change over........ maybe at a later date. I've not gotten into the accelerator so too speak, I just babied the thing till I got it home from the trip from Mobile, Al to Ocean Springs, MS. It made it down the road at 65 with no problem but I don't have much ...

Ford 1100 Carb Question and Oil Bath Air Cleaner
Guys, I've got a Ford 1100 carb, I'm missing a spring for the air inlet valve control rod. Does anyone on the the Mississippi coast or Alabama coast have a spare they could part with? Pony carbs shows the dam thing on the parts list but they have a $20.00 minimum order requirement. What is the best ...

Guys, Thanks for the comments on interior care products. I've been cruising the internet for information on that carb and have educated myself a great deal this morning. I've got a Ford 1100 series carb on that motor connected to a loadmaster distributor. I think the air flow noise that I'm hearing ...

240 question
Well, it's been a few years since l've posted here but I picked up a sweet 66 SWB that had been stored since 1979 and has 68,000 original miles. Now I have just a few questions. The truck has the original 240 with 1 barrel carb and oil bath air cleaner. Yesterday, I replaced the valve cover gasket w...
