With all of the people on this forum putting the wrong year engines and carburetors in the wrong year of cars, converting to 12 volt, putting multiple carburetors on, alternators, dual exhausts, halogen and LED bulbs, fuel filters, electric cooling fans, blue dot tail lights, weird batteries, weird water pumps, weird thermostats, weird heads and weird cams, electric fuel pumps, relays, electric wipers, eggs (really, see here:
http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65714) an unbelievable variety of lubrication, coolant and fuel conconctions, turn signals, (heaven forbid) radial tires, (good grief!) and who knows what other "non-stock" stuff on their vehicles obviously we have nothing against "
modifications" so don't worry too much about that. We all seem pretty tolerant of what each finds joy in from purely authentic (you can probably tell that's me) to "something else" and try not to criticize each other's "fetishes." It is hard for some that know a lot to remember that they don't, in fact,
"know-it-all" but we even tolerate that to a certain extent, some of us more than others.
After a while you get a feel for who really knows and who just think they do. (Even the great I have been known to fall into both categories and will probably fall again.)
Welcome and glad you're aboard.
You are right about a wealth of experience and knowledge here.
