Jein. I think your solution has carbon black in it. His doesn't.

Yep. Now I understand. But I like my concoctions better.

Yep. Last July 4th I took slow motion shots with my iPhone of my pop can "rockets" launching and got some decent ones. (The rockets are just a pop can with the crimped end cut out, a hole drilled in the bottom just the right size for a fire cracker, and the open end slipped down over a tennis ball screwed to a board.)

I'll get you a pic tomorrow of the one on BB, and then see if I have an extra mate to it in the harnii I have.

We don't want people to be able to knock on your door, so let's leave the pin where it is if that's ok. As for the radio bezel, from our page on this (Documentation/Interior/Instrument & Radio Bezels) there are two blacks and two greys - and all of them came with the cutouts for a clock.

Man do I hear you on that one. I was able to take my truck to the company 60th birthday party that they had a car / truck / bike show back in November then nothing. But I do have to say the state has lifted a little more of the stay at home Friday. I was told of a cruise in not far from the house today put together for a car guy's birthday but he is in the hospital (not looking good) so they video taped it and took pictures and going to send them to him to hope cheer him up so off we went. The wife and I did wear our N95 masks the whole time, stayed 6 feet apart and being high 80's sweated my butt off. It was held at a burger joint so grabbed some burgers, fries and shakes and took them home to eat in cool AC. I was the only Ford pick up of any year, 1 - 50's and 3 mid 60's Chevy pick ups. Dave ---- Cory - The darker blue does look good. And while you may want to hit them with the 3042 later, they look really good for now. I hope Big Blue's panels look that good. Jim - I certainly remember bracketing. And now some cameras will bracket and merge the pics on their own!

Yes, the LRC might have something to do with it. And grounding the regulator is a good plan.

What you've diagrammed is effectively an I-beam. If you can keep the two pieces of pipe the same distance apart they are extremely strong.

So the lights will come on at a preset temp? No, I get it. Mercury switch in a Ford.

Ok, see if I got you in about the right place. And, have a safe and happy move.

You are making significant progress! On the dizzy, you are just trimming the base of the cap? If so, that shouldn't be a problem. Now, for being BB's little cousin, I'm loving it. But, is there no chance for dual snorkels? Some place, probably back on FTE, I reported on the different snorkels available. I found that there are several different ones, and they have differing departure angles, but up/down as well as left/right. In addition, it is fairly easy to drill the spot welds, change the angle, and then either braze or spot-weld it back. So I think you could have a 2nd snorkel. Then there's the hot/cold thing. Why can't you have heated inlet air? And there are at least two ways that the vapors from the charcoal canister(s) are sucked out. One is as Dave said, via the PCV valve. The other is a very complex set of solenoid valves that vent into the carb itself.

Where are you measuring the pressure? Ahead of the tee or after? And, was this with the engine hot or cold? Three to four psi is adequate to do the job, but if it drops when things heat up then you could have problem.

You are now on the map. But Google wanted to put 39529 slightly different than Bay St Louis. Did I get you in about the right place?

Thanks, Bill. I think mine will work out pretty nicely. Sorta like yours and sorta like Jim's.

Hate the wheels. HATE! (I know someone out there on the forum has some just like them, and I shouldn't say this. But they are U.G.L.Y!) As for the interior, it sure isn't a Bullnose. So, who wants the truck?

If it isn't charging at idle, does that mean there's enough of a draw that the alternator can't keep up? You have a voltmeter, so you are judging "not charging" from "12.8v" or so. Right?

Beautiful scenery, Cory! And good pics as well. And I'd buy the 20/80 rule. But for me it is 20 out of every 100 shots might be suitable for keeping. Notice how on many of your shots there's something, like the road, that leads your eye right on into the pic? That doesn't just happen. It is the mark of a good photographer.

I like that approach. Gotta see how it works. Could easily wire that into the mercury switch in the underhood light and power all of them.

Wait! The DB wire out at the horn goes hot when the horn is to honk! Don't ground it. You need to ground the coil to the horn relay, which then puts power on the other DB wire to the horn. Or did I misunderstand?

Well done on the tach! That may be the problem with other trucks as well.

I haven't made one, but did look at them at Harbor Freight. That's the way I'd go if I were getting one.

From our new handy dandy page (Documentation/Underhood/Jacks, Lug Wrenches, Etc) I think that is 17A091. But I'm not sure.

Welcome! Glad you joined. I don't know anything about frame swaps. But I do know 'bout maps, and we have one: Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu. We'd add you if we had a city, zip, or somesuch.

No prob. I may not be able to reply quickly as we are taking Blue for a drive to Grove to decorate graves today. So no hurry.

I think purring is preferred, but maybe like a large kitten. My father was into poetry and could recite lines from many of the famous poems. And my brother writes poems from time to time. But I never really liked them. Instead, I like songs. However, I realize that songs are, in a way, poems set to music. So I guess it runs in the family. So when I hear or see a line that is, or could be, from a song I'm quick to think of the rest of the lines.
