Ok I understand wanting to resolve the frozen distributor issue BUT have you checked the timing? Check for slop in the timing chain. Odds are unless someone messed with it timing is just fine if it was driven to the place of being parked. Everyone wants to set timing & there is usually no...

An auto type choke with a bad pull off can cause what you describe. Bad spring can also cause similar symptoms. I am assuming you do not have a manual choke or you would know that.

The 2nd weekend in July (12, 13, 14) is the F100 show in Branson, MO. We will be there with our truck.

Yes it was just like it was in the Cobra. Really nice truck

Over the hoods of the dents is the bump & further back is the slick.

This slick came in from Kansas City, MO.This El Camino was for sale. Fresh crate 350. Asking price was $7500. In the bed is a complete running 6 cyl. with manual trans that came out of his '54. He also has a complete PS system (original) for the '54 for sale.There was a valve cover...

My wife & I met the owner of this truck who invited us out to his house. He is building a '54 Chevrolet & the El Camino in later pics also belongs to him. Sitting next to his shop is a '67 Mustang.1956 IH Travelall. Very nice restoration.Anderson Police provided an officer who sat on the...

Open to all trucks. There is another show coming up in July. I think the 1st weekend. F100s in the Ozarks. Branson, MO

The 2nd Annual FORDification Show & Swap meet is taking place this weekend. June 7 -9 in Anderson, MO. We will be there but it looks like our truck will not. We are still waiting for plates to arrive. Today is the last day to wait as we will be leaving tomorrow morning before the mail runs. So...

What type of choke?

Well here are some pics of the hood as it stands. It still needs finish work done so this is raw form. I am planning on making the Fordification show in Anderson, MO so anyone there can get a much closer look.When the truck is finished it will have 3/16"-1/4" gaps on all panels.

All is well. We moved to southern MO to help care for my father & just now are getting back online. We entered the truck in a local show & got a 3rd. Not too bad considering everything they scored on were areas we have not touched yet.

Thanks. We have a '90 F150 & the thought has crossed my mind with it's hood as well but it is our truck not toy. If I ever do anything with it I will probably do the same thing again. I think Ford hoods are just asking for it.

The top of the hood is tacked on now. Won't be long & it will be back on the truck. The tacks across the original seam are temporary. They will be removed & the seam in place when it is all finished.

Got some pics of the hood mods to date. Almost ready to put the top back on.

You will need to pull the cap & rotor plus tear down to the point you see the arm from the vac advance attached to the advance mechanism. There should be a small E-Clip holding that end on. Remove it & then remove the 2 screws holding the vac advance to the distributor. On a couple side notes...

That's all up to you & what you want from your truck. If you want original you know what way to go. If all original is not important I would definitely upgrade.

It is the same swap as my truck. The front of the chassis on the '67-'79 F series pickups are all the same.

Going to let the hood overhang the cowl area. It won't be much & the way the hinges work it should not create a problem. I have not thought about what to do with the rear of the hood yet. The original area will be there just moved rearward. Have been thinking about building some sort of air box...

Got the hood cut today. Whose great idea was this anyway?Now the piece removed.

Started on the hood today. Here are a few pics. I started with the original hood.Some shots of how we will be cutting the web structure underneath. I did not get the top side pics today but will have some Monday. Just so everyone knows what the plan is I am raising the portion of the hood...

Thought I would post a few pics of the progress on the '57 Fairlane dash modification & swap process. The glove box, ash tray, radio opening, clock opening, heater control opening & factory speaker opening all welded shut & smoothing process started. Building the lower slit that will be used as...

Well it's official the 3.55s are in along with Limited Slip & the Holley 4bbl (750 cfm, vac secondaries & elec choke). All I can say is I love it. I don't even have the carb totally dialed in. I will get my wife to take some video. The carb made a big difference. You could hear it in the exhaust...

Picked up the spyder gears from the machine shop yesterday. They were good to me. Said take them & we will worry about cost later. I had read so much about how difficult it was putting the S Clip back in but it was no big deal. Line it up & give it a good wrap with a decent size hammer & in it...

Well the 4.10s are gone. Swapped them & the 31 spline Limited Slip for a 28 spline (for the IRS) Limited Slip & 3.55 gears. Got the Limited Slip tore down & spyders out. Took them & 1 from the open diff to the machine shop to have the groove machined into the Limited Slip gears that I need for...

I swapped out the rear gears today from 3.08 to 4.10.A couple pics from behind after the rear was out of the truck.The spindle is held on with 3 bolts. I left the axle shaft in the hub & dropped the entire spindle axle shaft & all.Time to do something about all that grey hair...

Well went shopping today for rear gears. I could not find and 3.55s I did find 3.27, 3.73 & 4.10. Some with Limited Slip & some open diff. I think I am going to go with the 4.10 Limited Slip. My problem then becomes locating spider gears. The carrier is in an Explorer which should be 31 spline...
