I’d make an exception, the Summit Street and Strip 4100 clone,

For me it’s always been, “if it looks right . . . It is right”
Picture a DUI and a Carter on a 289 or a 350  in a deuce coupe . . .  puke city!

Anything other than a Holley or Autolite just has no place on a Ford.

Kind of like a beautiful woman. Might be more of a challenge, but worth the effort.

Well MS, I guess I will have to be grouped with the rebellious "non-standard" group, but I will strive to carry on with my lowly Edelbrock, hoping some day to gain the knowledge and experience required to tune the hallowed Holley carburetor.....
 

C’mon Josh, blingy is nondenominational 🧐

A Deuce should have a flathead with Edelbrock or Ardun heads and either what looks like Enderle 8 stack injection or 3 Strombergs.  Probably with a mag too.  Though, you can't really hide the carb on a Deuce with an air cleaner because the sides of the engine compartment are removable. 
 

If I ever get a 32, it will get an early hemi with 3x2 on it.

Until then, the only Edelbrock I have is on my 56 F100.  It has not been fired yet and will likely get Holley on it before it moves.

Looks matter alot to me when it comes to having the right parts.

Thank you LT.  Saved me from making an axx of myself....again.
In the 11 years I've been allowed to participate in this fine group I've seen a lot of different cars done a lot of different ways.  Some I thought were very nice and well done, some I liked but saw work or features I didn't particularly care for.  But, all of them had traveled many miles to get to were I saw them and would, presumably, make the many miles to get home. 
I can honestly say that while I didn't always agree with the equipment used or the approach taken, I never felt that it didn't "belong".  I feel that a restored car should be, well, restored...to as close to the way it left the factory as possible.  Butt (TS&T) a modified car is a whole 'nuther animal.  Once a guy deviates from the factory color then all bets are off.  It's a modified car and he can...and should...do to that car what he feels will best make that car the vehicle he wants.  Show car, racer, driver.  Decide what you want and make it happen.  I'm one of those guys that modifies stuff just 'cause I can.  Doesn't have to make it faster, stronger, prettier...just different.   You don't like it?  Don't look!  Kind of like the TV.
Since joining this group I've seen beautiful cars that couldn't stand to be much above sea level.  I've seen decent cars that required four fuel filter changes to go 600 miles.  I've seen cars that most people would wonder how in the hell it could go down the highway but after driving it I would have gladly swapped chassis with the guy...the car drives so sweet.  And, I've driven beautifully executed cars with enough power to put you back in the chair and keep you there but shook like a dog passing peach pits at any speed over 70.  Go figure.
And none of these put me off due to any particular equipment.  Not my car.  Not my choice.
I feel the same way about LOW RIDERS.  Not my cup of tea but, damn, some of those guys do some amazing work.  Some...not so much.  But they are in the hobby like us, spending their bux and supporting the cause.

But personally, I can't understand why anyone would want a dripping bucket setting on top of the engine in the first place but the fact that some do doesn't really put me off...too much.

Maybe Rudi could Tap it for you ? ship it to him.

Dan, where do you find these things??

Hey, I don’t care what you put on YOUR car. I am only talking about what I want for my car.

Well, I really got sucked into the trap.

I tried to make an informative post showing how Ford did the late 60’s, early 70’s fuel lines on cars equipped with Holley carbs.   I did this to inform some of the youngsters on here that had asked about Holley fuel lines. It occurred to me that some of them were not born when those cars were built, and the cars so equipped were so rare that those guys probably have never even laid eyes on, or paid any attention to, the carburetors they had, much less the routing. I thought Ford had a really good setup, so I showed how to duplicate it.

I never made mention that a Holley was better than anything in my original post. I am just building up a carb I bought on ebay to the configuration I like. Heck, the thing might never run, but I will try it.

Ok, now, I am as guilty, or more so, than anyone about good natured ribbing concerning carbs or efi or yellow wires or electric fans.

But, this is getting too personal, from pretty women to carb brands, to leaking pots, everything but electric cars. It seems to be a common theme on message boards and neighborhood boards, facebook, whatever.  And I am guilty, too. Everyone wants to find fault. I just wanted to inform as to how Ford ran Holley fuel lines.

I think I will do my best in the future to stay on topic and show proper appreciation for those who take the time to participate on the forum.  Show me your best routing on those yellow plug wires. I will find something good to say about it.

I am as guilty as everybody else getting sucked in. I just finally realized it probably have not happened like that.

Okay, will the person who poked the bear please raise his hand? (Raises hand really high....) The horse is now dead, so we can stop kicking it.  Peace out. It's all good.
