Not too good of tire mileage doing that. Utterly Amazing.

I see somebody is still fighting mental health (you may want to ignore this one)


Run it till it quits or something falls off.

Doc stopped by here the other day on his way from Tuscon to Pie Town and we had a short visit. He is doing good, has a lot of things going on.

To all, I am back in-country again, don't know how long though. When I installed the T5 behind the 223, I used John Mummert's adapter setup because mine had a 3 spd in it. With using the adapter plate, you have to use the later T5 with the very long input shaft to compensate for the thickness of the...

When I changed out my 1995 T5 to a 1996 T5, all that needs done is to remove the elect speedo sender from the hole and insert the regular cable drive in it.

Fred

I've mounted a large Truck type air tank under the rear of mine to support my Air Horns, so the standard spare just rides in the bed loose.

Fred

Before I put the T5 in mine, I had a Mr. Gasket floor shift for the 3spd. Not very sturdy and was not impressed with it, but it was the only thing available in short order when I needed one.

Fred

I left the Settle Inn about 7:30 Sun morning, got to Globe at 11:00AM on Monday. Took about a 2 hour snooze somewhere in northern New Mexico, just couldn't make it in a single run, but the leftover adrenelin kept me going for a good long spell. Ready for the next one! Thanks for all the effort to ma...

Chris,

Been so long ago, but I think I am using the Autolite 46 plugs. Are you sure you have the right one? I don't remember having any fitment problems, maybe just a varience in the distributers.

Fred

When I did mine, I went with the matching coil, and run .045 gap on the plugs.

Those Weather People are the only ones I know of who can be wrong over half the time and still keep a job.

Fred

When I installed the disks on the front of my 62, I also got all the hardware for the later model and installed the self-adjuster setup on it. You will have to make a new slot in the backing plate on one side so you will be able to back it off if you ever need to as the star wheel lines up with the ...

The tumbler won't go through the Bezel so it looks to me like you are stuck with breaking the ears off like Brian mentioned.

Fred

Doug(64 Ranger) will be coming from Riverside, Cal on Sat to Globe,Az and we will convoy from here Early Sun morn, hope to be in KC for some Pizza Tues Evening.

Fred

I don't know where this came from, but I always keep the thought above most everything, "The simplicity of it far outweighs the disadvantages of it's spartan nature"

Fred

Yesterday, I bought a set of 31X10.5X15 on mine. Kind of hoping it will bring the speedo a little closer than the 235's I had on it.

Fred

I'm still haveing a hard time about that. I left Brisbane at 11:00AM on the 20th of July, was in the air at better than 500 MPH for 13 hours and Landed at Los Angeles at 7:00AM on the 20th of July, 4 hours before I left.

Fred

Doug,

Way back when I used to do Fleet work, I would now & then find that the plastic material that makes up the Turn Signal Switch would have been a little warm and the little contacts kind of sunk into the material enough to lose contact. Might be worth looking at.

Fred

When I installed then T5 in my 62, I replaced the Column and all the shifter components for the 3 spd with parts from a 4 spd, so I think I still have all the 3spd stuff collecting dust out in the garage. If there is some way to get the stuff to you from SS, I will throw it all in and bring it along...
