    If he did, that would take all the fun out of it and we won't get our page 11

    I'm satisfied we've pushed him off page ten, for now
    There you go. Have him park his ride on your porch, as soon as he gets done with it or maybe set him up with a department store that's about to get remodeled who would be interested in having his ride parked in their jean's section

    I wouldn't overdo it, otherwise we might be hearing the thread's author singing the following blues:

    Oh, yes you did. You gave us the silent treatment, since Tuesday. What's the matter? Can't catch your typing finger? Here's what's waiting behind page twelve's curtain, Sir:

    Your engine is approximately the size of two 2.2 liter 4 bangers. The Mustang II and maybe even the Pintos used a 2.3 liter 4. So, as soon as you get tired of tinkering with those ancient Carters, you might want to go out and get 2 of these Motorcrafts, to bolt onto that Edelbrock you're presently decking with those old Carters. I once replaced a Weber which caught fire on a Fiat Spyder with one of those Pinto carbs. It was a bolt-on swap and ran impecable, through all power bands. I even replaced the complicated Solex two barrel on my Opel GT with one of those and it also ran perfect. They are manufactured on a Weber patent. But, are not in the least inferior. Back then, they were plentiful and cheap to get. What you're now doing is setting up what would be the equivalent of running a four barrel with all barrels opening at the same time, all the time, whereas a normal four barrel runs only on the primaries, until you stomp on the pedal to get the secondaries opening. Since these Mustang carbs have a primary and secondary each, you'd be running your engine as if it was a normal four barrel of which each carburetor would be only running on the primaries, until demanded otherwise. Your drivability and fuel economy would improve considerably

    The same video, except that it's silent and in color:

    It was extremely difficult, in even finding a car of this series with its intended V-8. Most were dropping in crate Chevy engines



    Pontiac prototypes being loaded into trailers. A '53 Parisienne, this time without Chevy parts, that looks part convetible and part hearse, as well as two Porvettes and a Bonneville with a hide away top:

    Thanks for taking me all the way to 11 ivy! The car is underway! Got a title!!!! The guys at the DMV had no idea what to do with my bill of sale. I explained that I had been in contact with someone from down there that told me to bring a bill of sale, pictures of the vin and anything else I might have. At first the fella told me no way, I can’t just show up requesting a title for a car that never was mine. Then his super. Guided him to the right form. Since the car was older than 30 years I just had to fill out an application and include seller’s name and add. Way easier than I imagined. Also my wife got the first permit for the garage! Now If it would just stop raining long enough to pour some concrete. 68893717-867C-41FE-B370-65C2084D2F96.jpeg

    What's with the wheel tax? I've never heard of such a thing. Do they even levy a tax on your spare tire?
    It'd better stop Raining or else Lenny's going to get rather smelly, before becoming part of your garage floor

    I’m not sure what that tax is. I think it’s for out of towners coming to work in town? His name wasn’t Lenny it was Charles. I read his name tag. Those door to door magazine salesman are a bunch of con artists anyway :biglaugh:

    He never told us what kind of magazines he was pushing. But, judging by his vivid imagination, there wasn't any need to. Did it stop raining, already? I got a hunch it's Page Twelve Eve

    Congrats on getting the title.
    Do as Andrew says.
    You can dig trenches and build footings in the rain...
