Damn! We love you, Pat!!! Wherever you are, I hope this time you are reading all of our words. Your words and your spirit were a great...
May have a lead on something...
Thanks guys. I don’t often have a helper available, maybe the mirror idea could work. I posted because I thought I must be missing some option....
Yes, I’ve got an Autometer tach inside the cab, but looking for an under hood tool. Preferably with a pickup to get signal off the #1 plug wire.
Hey Guys, what tach do you use to do tune-ups or plotting ignition curves? I have an MSD ignition so most dial back lights don’t work I’m told....
Gman0046, I've had myself in this predicament. The worst for me is getting stuck under my truck when I was too lazy to jack it high enough....
Leon bee, I know what you mean!!! Did most of my '50 F-1 (shown in earlier post w/ XL Honda in back) under a tree, in the dirt, or on old cracked...
I'm liking the new grille idea!! Fun to see fresh ideas ...especially from one of us youngsters who have been around throughout so much hot rod...
I am 71 and in the last 4-5 years have rewired, re-plumbed, and rebuilt just about every system under my '50 Ford F-1. Just picked up some 18 ga....
That shim idea, good thinking! ...shoulda thought of that myself!!! :-) Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I did this as well on my F-1 (about 1" or less ? and no problems either after 24 years on the road) But if you change bore size do research...
With a bell crank of course you can change things by moving the bell crank pivot. ...But not sure you then gain anything without moving the master...
When you move the pivot up it may be easier to push, but you increase the distance the pedal has to travel to get the same amount of braking....
Maybe a mix up on my end, maybe got kicked to junk mail? I sent my email with info and photo way back in April. I've run most every year and...
SOLD!!! $25.00 Gas tank in good condition. Stock in-cab Ford truck fuel tank. Rust free inside. Has been in use on my truck until recently....

Prepping the F-1 for the drive and runs down the dirt 8th mile dirt. About a 1500 mile round trip for with no fellow travelers or support, so I...
Good small block 727 that I pulled out of my truck to put in overdrive trans. Shift kit, nice firm shifts. New tailshaft bushing and seal....
1948-1952 Ford F-1 gas tank. $80 Inside is clean and clear of any rust. Modified to 3/8" outlet and set up for return line. Speedway fuel sender...
The loops and smaller hole seem to have taken care of the problem. Thanks, Guys!!!!!!!!
I added 3-4" loops today, and plugged the 3/8" hose with a brass plug drilled out to 1/8" or so. If this doesn't work, I'll move to the next...
I'll start with this tomorrow, the loops and a smaller vent outlet. See if that does it, if not, will add a canister. Thanks for the tip on the...
I had wondered about plugging the 3/8" and drilling a hole more the size of what the old vented caps had. Still not seeing any leaks. May try...
I don't intend to roll it over, but the valve worked as a 90* to run the vent tube horizontal before it went up into the fender area. I'll try...
Thanks, Guys. I don't have a dip as it runs straight across from the tip-over valve, and it goes to the top of the rear fender so it's way above...
Appreciate the responses! I keep checking for small leaks as that's what I suspected, but have not found any yet. As I said all AN connections,...
I set a new fuel system on my F-1 with an aluminum tank from Speedway. (It mounts between the frame rails behind the differential.) All AN...
I had a '60 Falcon Ranchero that I drove for two years back in, what? …'73-'75. I sorta inherited it from my inlaws. At first I was almost...
