Mine is in the same spot, gotta scrape some crud off it usually, but that is the acid test and it has to match the vin plate. I saw the worst R code '64 Ford on eBay. A totally clapped out hulk, rotted to heck too. IIRC it went for $5k.

I have used one clutch rebuilder since 1975, he can do anything if I strike out anywhere else. He started out doing OEM stuff, now he does a lot of drag racing clutches.

And people wonder why I order 99.99% of my parts online. On a Friday night I needed an emergency brake arm clip, the simple C shaped item. Pep Boys... they were mystified. I gave them a bunch of later Ford cars that had them. I would have even taken a spring kit to get one. Advance... same...

I recall reading old car magazines my dad had, the Tele Touch system was problematic and didn't help the 1958 Styling that went over like a fart in church with many.

How about something like a SCAT rod? Their entry level rods would be more that good for you. If they made them for a 292...

I was in a big accident on the street years ago. Among the more serious injuries I had, I was black and blue from my shoulders down to mid calf. I was not able to work full time for 4.5 years.

Does the carb have an anti-stall dashpot? I had one go bad on a '64 390, replaced it, problem solved.

Set up an eBay search and keep an eye on it. https://www.ebay.com/sch/33654/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1959+edsel+trim&LH_TitleDesc=0

Set up a search on eBay, check it once in a while. This is how I got most of my trim pieces.

Which team? The last competition I was at was in Freeport, in 2013. My uncle used to drive the A truck for Bay Shore.

An RG31 may work, this is a non-vented cap. Fits many 1953 to 1963 Fords. I have one on my '59.

I had trouble finding colonial white at a local paint place, settled on wimbledon white. Good that you found it.

The last ones I did were on my car, the previous was while fixing cars. I did a '64 Ford around 1979. You need to take pains to keep the shaft and arm centered. I good scribed line does the trick, or take side to side measurements. The hardest part is dealing with 2 different threads at a time...

I have 3-point retractable belts in my car, from Wesco. I bolted in their plates for the top mount in the B pillars. I had to go with other bolts for the top, the ones that came with the set were too short with the garnish moldings installed. I used a grade-8 bolt and had to fab up a pair of...

I have a '59 and they are centered. The bushings have a coarse thread where they go onto the shaft and a fine thread where they go into the control arm. They are a little tricky to install.

Can you still read the stripe-codes on the wires? Mine were wiped out with age, so I had to go with color only. Even then it was hit and miss until I identified each one. But there are only like 9 or 10 wires to deal with. I cut my wires too, my harness came with the 2 connectors and contacts.

I may put the aerostars back in my car with the 1" spacers recommended here. Another groovy spring project.

Everyone with a qualified car got 100% reimbursed by Ford. All I had to do was submit my receipts at a local Ford dealer. The lawyer didn't get rich off this one, not even sure she was paid.

I had a 4.6 with low miles in a '97 Mercury. The intake cracked and I had to spend $1200 to get it fixed. I started a Yahoo support group and lots of people jumped onto it. It got the attention if a class-action lawyer from Georgia, IIRC. Well, we won and many of us got reimbursed by Ford.
