Had mine out a couple of years ago. Really not a big deal. A couple of days down, pee in a bag for 10 days and once that’s out, you’re good to go.(diapers an option). Good luck

I run 35# on all my radials 

Thanks BobE. I did just that. A cheap 60# gauge for $9.00. 53,000 miles on the clock. 153,000 or 253,000 don’t know but I suspect 153,000

No rapping I can hear. A little low oil pressure (by gauge in dash, gets lower under acceleration, goes up (marginally) under deceleration, seems like a (fairly) easy job, will give me an idea of bottom end condition, peace of mind unless I f@&# it up, inexpensive. See, I told you I have convinced myself with reservations.

What a great view. Enjoy.

Steve: I come to the FYI forum for all of my concerns. This forum seems relaxed, steady, and nonjudgmental ("you should of bought a V8" for example. It's just seems to be quiet, solid, and full of information. Not to mention your tutorials and replacement kits. Not a very good description but you get the sentiment. Thanks for providing it.

I installed Steves power drum brake kit on my /66 a while ago and it works like a charm. However the brake lights don't come on unless serious pressure is used on the pedal and by that time I am thanking my lucky stars for seat belts. I read that a switch from a /70 with power drum brakes has a lighter spring actuator. Would this solve my problem? TIA.  Mark

Mark.......are you using the switch that is attached to the brake pedal?

As of now i am using the original /66 manual drum brake pedal mounted switch. Further down the post MS tells me that a later power drum switch has a lighter spring (just what I was looking for)
 

Sorry I am kind of late on this thread but, how the hell did Ford staple the little rubber mat to the fender apron near the positive post. I mean, what would that stapler look like?

Would a dashpot help?

Wow,,, they look fantastic.

Very sorry to hear the news. Mark

Congratulations. 2 of the best words in the world.  M

I put a regular antenna under the dash, between the heater box and firewall of my /66. I slipped a length of clear vynal tubbing over it first to stop rattles. Worked great.  M.
