Drew,

Thanks for the offer. I did pick up a couple of power valves at the local Advanced Discount Auto Store. The kid behind the counter had no clue, so he said to come behind the counter and check in a box that was misc. Holley parts and found the power valves. I think I'm finally understanding the Holley's at my advanced age. Will see if I can get it dialed in this weekend then on to my 482 CJ with a Quick Fuels Q-Series 750. I think it actually could use a 850.

Thanks guys! Will be taking a road trip this Saturday for the National Mustang Day activities at the Valiant Air Command Museum in Titusville, FL. Going to take some parts and try to get the carb dialed in. I'm real close as most of the hesitation on mashing the gas is gone. Found that most of the issue is that the accelerator pump has a lag when the pump arm starts to move. Was not getting a shot with the initial arm movement so I've been backing off the adjustment a little at a time and Voila!

Can anyone advise on the stock size of the discharge nozzle on a Holley 715? I misplaced my notes and can't remember what I started with. Think it may have been a #28, as I have an extra in the parts bin. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Planning on going as I've never been to the museum. Stop on by and say "hey" if at the show.

Made an offer on it a couple of weeks ago and never heard from the seller! Sent him a PM.

Good point! My L.H front turn signal occasionally goes out and it is the firewall connection as you described. The headlights were flashing consistently until I opened the air vent. That seemed to solve the problem, but I know when the weather warms up in July for the drive to SAAC, that would be a concern, as I will have about 4-hrs of night driving.

I'm running sealed beam headlight and not even halogen headlights. I like the LED's but the price looks to be about $125 per bulb. I'd rather try to figure the root cause and try to fix that and run the FOMOCO etched sealed beams. Pulled the switch and no obvious problem other than being about 30 years old. It is a Motorcraft marked C5ZB 11652 A1. Any way to bench test the switch?

I assume the 4-headlamp switch would be the one use for a 69? The only issue is that the spacer is not included with the switch and modifications would need to be done to make it work in a 65/66 I assume.

NPD has some alternate bulbs, but I have no firsthand experience with any of them, so I'm hesitant to try them.

Looking for recommendation for best headlight switch for a 65/66. Had a flashing headlight problem last week on my trip to the American Muscle Car Museum show in Melbourne, FL. Any firsthand knowledge would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Looks a lot like Ford Vista Blue with the purple tint to me.

Honeycomb building panels have been used for building facades since the 1960's or possibly the late 1950's. HH Robertson made honeycomb panels that would fit into curtainwall and storefront framing systems.

Her is a chance to see one of the finest collection of cars during the March 18th car show at the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne, FL. The show is put-on by the Cape Canaveral AACA and this year's theme is the 30's.

Great collection of Ford GT's, Shelby's, Bosse's and Cobra's.

Will not be the Schenley Park street track for the Shelby Club. They will most likely use one of the layouts for Pittsburgh Motorsport Park in Kopel, PA.

Finally got the 07 back from the paint shop for the front clip restoration and KR style hood.  Worked out better than anticipated. The Cervini's hood is very good
quality and the fit was also very good. Had one low spot on the l.h. side hood pin as this did take a bit of work. I also made the vents functional by using standoffs to lower the water pans that fit under the vents. The only complaint is that the hood pin brackets do not clock the hood pins correctly. I've informed Cervini's of this issue and hope they make an adjustment to future brackets. I'm going to redo mine at some point, but for now just going to enjoy the 07!

Would recommend the Cervini's hood.
