It is the former Stowe show. Due to loss of venue it had to move but same people putting it on.

is that the lighting or do I see copper on the bearing?

Torch them all open or closed up towards the guide. Now remove the lifters. Yo can probably get a punch on the stuck ones. Now that the lifters and hopefully the cam are out you can go through the lifter holes on the stuck valves and open them. The stuck open will probably drive the guide...

The 8rt are lower compression and you might want to shy away from them. The correct ones for your car are 8ba. Later ones are EAB. We are dealing with ford here, Mercury got different numbers. As far as I know all Ford 8ba short blocks are the same and you just bolt on different stuff to make...

Seth, I see where you're coming from. The custom coach builders of the 20s and 30s is unmatched in many ways. Ford's introduction of the Shoebox was a radical change but basically nothing more than a blank canvas for custom car builders. I think the late 50s early 60s saw a different kind of...

There are two completely different schools of thought going on here. Pressure testing steam boilers and air tanks is completely different than pressure testing a block. A high pressure vessel like a steam boiler gets tested at extremely high pressure where a failure would be catastrophic with...

I know a gut who stitches blocks and he tests to 30psi which is twice the pressure any pressurized system sees. Air tanks I believe, are routinely tested with water but these are done at much higher pressures. I suppose testing with water in the block will help you identify any cracks by...

You two are the only ones I trust :)

Looks like truck caught fire and tey were able to clear the road for the explosion.

They cannot get up early enough to keep an eye on me. I'd get up early and take a walk over the railroad bridge and along the river to have this lady make my breakfast. Sure the one at the hotel was free but you get what you pay for.

Any relay that can handle 20 amps will work. The overdrive engages through a grounding circuit activated by the governor and the kickdown switch. I'm not sure if that has the reverse lockout switch or not. Ford saw no need and eliminated it in 51 and told dealers to bypass it on earlier cars...

Can't imagine you wanting a clock.:):):)

Can't. Model A event commitment.

Sorry guys I kind of bailed out on this but here is the update. I made it home safely with only one vapor lock incident in Newell SD where I was running 100 degree heat. Happened on a gas stop. Went to restaurant where car stopped, ate got some ice for the fuel pump and we were running. The...

Here is how I believe it works. Open to corrections. when the key is turned on the temp gauge goes from H to C. The two terminal sensor is a switch that opens at 212 or so. The one terminal is the analog sensor that varies resistance with temperature. I believe you need close to 0 ohms at...

Today was a tour day but still an adventure. We began with a ride to Rocky Reach Dam where we could see the salmon swimming up the fish ladders. They had a very impressive visitor center and tour. There were a lot of people there so we had to hang around for the next tour, which put us a little...

Today's travels took me on 200 north out of Missoula along the Flathead River which became the Clark Fork River. I knew this would be a scenic ride and got a few photos but I do not think I could ever capture the experience of traveling through here. I headed up to Sandpoint where I stopped for...

If you do not do Facebook find someone who does and look for Tour of the great northern route 2. Pics are there.

Everyday starts out with a planned drive that could change. Today was no different. After a good breakfast and chatting with a few locals I was off. A little trip down 94 and I was on 12 headed towards Missoula. This road was better than any highway I could have taken across Montana. I had...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I made this a bit of a destination and stop where I please trip fully knowing I won't see everything. Here are today's musings. Got a nice early start today only to lose an hour due to a missed turn. I got some tools to avoid that in the future. Anyway I made...
