5000 rpm clutch dump with the emergency brake set again?

I dug through it all and I couldn't find it, sorry. I found the air cleaner base, and the piece that goes on the exhaust manifold right by it, but it seems nowhere to be found. I will keep looking.

I am searching for the snorkel, but if you have that part that bolts to the exhaust manifold, I could sure use that too. PM me what you would like for it or both, if you find the snorkel.
 

Thanks Greg. Appreciate the help. Maybe we'll get lucky, eh? Good hunting.

I need the black item.

Looking to replace the air cleaner on my 65 that came from the 221 out of a 63 Falcon. I have an air cleaner that I will be cleaning up and painting, but I need the snorkel - especially the one with the cutout to clear the long cowl support rods on the 65 convertibles. If I can't get one of those, then maybe a stock one I can modify. The ones n eBay are trashed or they're really proud of them. Thanks, Ron68

Gee, I wonder if this will catch on? And I wonder what will happen in a rear end collision? Or any collision for that matter.....that's a lot of weight flying around with combustible liquid inside......what could possibly go wrong? And how are you going to charge all those batteries, or service the water in them, or how to vent off all the corrosive gases generated, or the cost to replace all those batteries, etc, etc, etc?

Good find on the missing voltmeter decals. How long were those missing? 
I have memory spots for a lot of stuff and catch myself not using them. Was doing some piddling of my own this week on the lathe and there's a holder for the chuck tools. In ONE NIGHT I found the chuck tool on the bedway, on a table, in a rollaway drawer. DUDE!
Last night after changing the earl and filter/pan assembly on my DD cleaning and putting away my tools. I couldn't find my 7mm deep 1/4" drive socket. What the Fresno??? Just aggravating. Found it on the end of a driver bit in the allen wrench drawer. NO!
I have an issue. 
Eleven more steps and I'm on my way. 

Losing stuff......

Many years ago, I was re-installing the compressor halves on a small turbine engine from a Hughes 500 helicopter. I was bolting the halves together with some small, special bolts. I dropped one and started to look on the shop floor for it. I could NOT find that bolt! Looked everywhere, swept the floor, etc - no luck. Didn't have that bolt in stock. Had to go down the street to the Bell Helicopters dealership to get one (they used the same engine - Allison 250)
While getting undressed that night, took off my work pants. The bolt dropped on the bedroom floor. My work pants had cuffs and that damned bolt had simply dropped into one of the cuffs. It really wasn't lost at all, I had it all the time.....

IMO that guy is a tool.  In fairness I've never met him, and that could just be the way he is portrayed on TV to inject mock drama into the show, but the only reason to watch that show was Aaron.  When he left that was it for me. 
 

Totally agree.

Yup. It's all about the drama. Boyd Coddington was the same way. Gotta have the contrived drama. And the Orange  County Choppers show with the dad and son who were always at each other's throats. Why is it that every time they take on a job, they are always under the gun to get it done in a ridiculous amount of time. They're always running late, yet the build always gets done on time. Drama, drama, drammmmma.
 

SMH......
 

That is a definite pass for me. Keep the carbon fiber stuff for all the ricers and the very expensive sports cars. Besides, that over smoothed body looks like a plastic toy model. There is absolutely no substitute for the original. JMHO.

And you mean a lot to us, MS. Hope you and Sherry have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hate to disagree butt (TS&T)  I believe that was 2010, Ovilla Bash, Mikes crappy Grant horn switch...our first Bash and back when Sal would drive his car to the Bash.
2011 was Daze Bash in Kalispell, as I recall.
Not that any of this make a dang bit o' difference.
 

Yup - Daze - 2011. I remember Glen's car getting an alignment by Hakan while BB was doing some electrical work. One of the Bash's in Ovilla was where Mike's car got some heavy maintenance from the "Board of Experts" who attended.

If I could ever just get this group to not lose their mind every time something comes loose…

Something that came loose might have gotten lost, but it had to lose its torque setting before it got loose.

Its impordant to me that when I axed you if you would rather be here then there so that we didn't loose our spot in line. A mind is a terrible thing to loose.
