RE: OBA install locations. No joy fitting a QD in the fuel filler area, but I was able to fit one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B45W496 in next to the filler cap. That allows me to easily charge the system with another compressor should the need arise. Prior to the NV trip I ran it up to 12...

Hoping that y'all might have some insight on this. Been battling a distinct lack of power at fwy speeds. This is above and beyond the notorious lack of power that Ford built into these later models. It never was a speed demon on grades, but now it barely holds 45 mph on any grade. After a couple tho...

Found this: https://lmr.com/item/CER-113/1993-95-Ford-Lightning-Fiberglass-3-Cowl-Hood?sc_src=email_1621568&sc_lid=215599186&sc_uid=IWWPU6aY9q&sc_llid=162486&sc_eh=c12b19481b2016f21 A total bolt-on except for the hood springs. Looks like it uses a prop rod, which I'm not opposed to at all. Page clai...

While cruising amazonian desert racing supply I found some DOT type "poke-n-hope" fittings that are bulkhead 1/4" tube X Schrader valve. The perfect thing to put in the system somewhere so that I can pressurize it without a compressor or if the compressor croaks, or whatever. https://www.amazon.com/...

Something that has been bugging me for a while, the Blanc-Oh was clear-coated and the hood is peeling, but only the hood. Slowly. MISF tells me that the only way to remove what remains is to sand it off. I'd like to make it flat white instead of gloss white. Driving into the sun can be a real bear a...

I've used these https://www.mcmaster.com/50785K274/ in the past to anchor the QD's and to transition from the poly tubing into fittings. They work well stuck thru a hole in something - be that an existing panel or a tab that was added, but they do tend force nearly the whole length of the QD to cons...

All of the diff parts and the housing were dropped off this morning. Hoping that the diff will be set-up by the end of the week. Steal away. Those male QD parts are SS and I used a cut-off tool to put the groove in them for the retainer cable. On previous vehicles I've had the plated steel plugs rus...

Pursuing the extremely low power issue further it was impressed upon me that a fuel pressure gauge that I could monitor while driving would be a good thing. I've been wanting to be able to monitor trans temp so I bought a two gauge pillar thingy and the gauges. I should point out that I don't have a...

There's a few still in it, but nothing debilitating. PO to me put a T-5 and a Ranger 3.73 geared 7.5" under it. Valley Head Service built me a 170ci Slant for it. I asked for 135-150HP (not enough, shoulda asked for 170!), that it pull to 6500, and have a cam compatible with a TBI system which the b...

"Scooter", the '65 Valiant that I sold to buy the Blanc-Oh has been living high lately. Got a text and emails from the current owner. After his intended car for an East Coast Hot Rod Power Tour developed a would-be fatal oil leak 30 miles from home the Valiant got pressed into service. Missouri to M...

New rear rotors are modified and mounted. Ø0.041" safety wire sucks. I'm using it in a single string thru the rotor mount bolts ala old school, non-aero, non-astro safety wring practice. Bolts are torqued with 271 in the threads, so the wire is just the "belt" to the Lock-tite's "suspenders." Instal...

Those who're at/on/near the US Lower Left Coast, any heading up to the Big Bear Bronco Bash this coming weekend?

The sad thing is that we're not going to run out of people anytime soon, yet the dregs are those who some folks are trying to save. Bad news. My go-to guy for gear set-ups can't even look at the D60 until the first week of July and probably won't be able to start on it until the second week. I guess...

I really need to get one of these signs made and posted. From somewhere in Nevada:

I wish it was legal to shoot porch pirates.

That is all.

It isn't? Oops.

So toggle to "arm" the push-button?

I saw the SwitchPro and had assumed it was more for lights and that sort of thing. It was the lone toggle and the push-button in the panel that triggered my post.

Looks like "Porch Pirates" stole 2 of the 3 new rotors. I ordered three so that I'd have an already modified spare in inventory. Replacements are supposed to arrive next Tuesday. I've also made a tool to put the 8 X 6.5" M8 clearance holes for the attaching bolts in rotors that have had the register...

I'm guessing based on the wet ground and the lack of smog check concern that you're not in KA. ;) Some time ago I had a project Baja that got stalled by massive work over-time and then a friend talked me into selling it to him. The electrical plan was to use one of the Hella removable key type batte...

The 8" X 1.5" round blanks for the spacers cost me ~$65 each off ebay. As I posted above, can order literally everything needed off of Rock Auto except for the rear caliper banjo bolts (but it looks like the fronts will work), for about $500USD. Their shipping isn't the best in the States though. No...
