Parts of Dayton got fucked up. The kind of shit you see out in Oklahoma or something... https://www.whio.com/ https://www.whio.com/news/local/photos-drone-footage-the-damage-across-miami-valley/RKZ0UKoLXBmOAHEedpRrVP/ https://www.whio.com/news/photos-daylight-reveals-widespread-damage-from-monday-storms/lAz2Sz3gtFKAp5TjpxTg7H/ Drone Video: https://www.whio.com/news/watch-drone-video-damage-downtown-dayton/14vK3XW15u3FycBQBkWCeM/?icmp=cb_widget

Did some work yesterday, no real pics to speak of. First issue I encountered was I could start the car with a trigger, but not with the key. Turns out the "key" wire I used would loose power when you turned the key to cranking. This, turned off my MSD, lol. Found a new wire and took car of that. Adjusted the clutch a bit more and I think I got it working enough to try it. I had to put a little preload on the throw out bearing. I am not sure that is a big deal or not. Seemed the only way get it to work. My guess, I will still have to play with that some more. The bad news. The water pump is leaking. Looks like it coming straight out of the bottom. I am like 95% sure, it is going to have to come off. It could be the two bolts on the backing plate are loose, i have read that. But there is no way to get to them once installed. Pisses me off, I take all this time and I have to revisit this....

FMS "B"

I'm going to say no. I had a chance when I first started to go with an FiTech/Holley, a stock computer or the carb. Ultimately, I decided to go the carb route. The others were just more money than I wanted to spend. If I did anything crazy in the future, I did put a drain in the oil pan. So i would consider a Vortech possibly. After its running, the next bigger money things I will look into are a Gear and posi kit and some gauges.

It runs https://www.facebook.com/paul.bailey.3538/videos/3188443191169722/ Need to adjust the clutch, blead the brakes and tune on the carb. But still, i was pretty happy.

Im just saying. a 12.3 with those stats? Not buying it.

My Focus with a G Tech runs a 12.7 so there is that...... Just not buying it. Assuming a 200# driver, that is 3572 race weight. With 335 Flywheel HP, no way it runs 12's. The best calculator is 13.43@106. Far cry from 12.3.....

Saw things like this on Craigslist: https://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/d/ls-wiring-harness/6857854850.html

Makes more sense now. lol

Made some big progress today. It is now ready to start and tune on the carb. My friend that is helping with that was out, but I was able to get it fire a few times. Got my new aluminium driveshaft back. Everything seemed to fit good when I installed it. Test fitting the raditor and my old upper brackets. They no work. I had a problem with my lower radiator hose hitting my fuel pump. I can only assume the hose I had originally sourced was wrong, because it would have rubbed a hole in it. So got some silicone couplers and an 90 degree bend and made a new hose. Got the fan and radiator overflow all sorted and installed. And here it is. I ended up getting the 69 upper radiator bracket. Had to modify it some, but I think it turned out pretty good. Started trying to get the shifter setup worked out. I have an idea of what I am going to do now, so that meant order more parts. So that will be for next time.

Sound pretty good with an exhaust: GLWS

Russell Powerflex hose. I used it on my old turbo car when i did the Hydroboost conversion and on my 69 for the pressure line. http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/hose/powerflex.shtml http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/hose-ends/powerflex.shtml

Saw this on Stangbangerz:

Well. I got SUPER lazy over the winter. Just really did not do much of anything, so time to get back at it. I expect to be driving it this year baring any major issues. So, here we go... Pretty much how I left it First up was the clutch cable. Everything I heard from Modern Driveline was it would not work with LT headers. And they are right, the cable sits right on it as I showed earlier. So My plan to wrap the cable and the header looks like it will work. Nothing seems to be in a bind and Ill be damned surprised if that thing gets burned. With the header installed. Passenger header installed Wiring. Finally getting it sorted out (Regardless what the pic shows). Charged the battery a bit and tested it key on, got my MSD box to light up, so I must be on the right path. Broke my first part. Was putting the temp gauge probe in and the fitting snaped. Lucky was able to back out pretty easy Test fitting the fox fan. Will use it for now, will prolly change to an electric by the end of the year. Driveshaft is to long. Working with a local shop to sort that out. Got the carb all sorted out. Fuel, linkage, wiring, etc. And how she sits. Have PS, alternator, and cooling all sorted now. Next steps are getting a belt on, the driveshaft and getting the distributor in. Hopefully getting closer to firing it. Pretty sure this is the exhaust I am getting: https://www.jegs.com/i/Magnaflow/642/15816/10002/-1 Should sound pretty good. I was thinking of side pipes, but pretty sure my subframe connectors would be in the way. This should be quieter and look better.

Any vids of it running at full song? i want to hear it!

Nothing beats this episode. I mean, are you shitting me finding that?

I liked the movie a lot as well. I'm a big space buff, and I liked the enormity of the landing and the first steps the movie prorated. IMO, the greatest event in human history. Great stuff! And I think for the flag deal, it wouldn't have been a big deal if not for the explanation as to why it was left out.
