That car was awesome at Greenwich. Don't see many triple black cars

I have a couple, I'll send them to you

Now this an example of why exactly why the forum is so great. It takes the people who know what we need, the willingness  to look for the correct stuff, make contact with a supplier and then make the information available to those who may need it. Thanks to all who have contributed. You're the reason I read the forum most of the time.
Thank you 

I'm using a 3 core from Spectra and it has never overheated, has run warm while driving in the DC 4th of July Parade

I watched you guys doing a couple of the inspections. It was eye opening to say the least. The knowledge and details surrounding this process is mind blowing
Thanks to all for the great work and a bit thank you to restorer's and owners of these amazing vehicles

I'm using a 3 core radiator that I bought in 2011. Got it at a defunct auto supplier
I see a company called "cold case radiators" has something similar. Price has gone up since I purchased mine
Look them up and see if they fit your needs. I have my original repaired, but haven't reinstalled it in the car

I believe that all of them were winners, a great selection of cars. Just not enough time to see them all

A Ford 427 crankshaft.  This is the one with the screw-in plugs, hollow journals and with "$" on the crankshaft
Crank is cut 0.010 on the mains and rods. Fresh and ready to go. Can deliver to SAAC 51 Asking $1200 willing to listen to any reasonable offer

Here's a few more. The Receipt for the Daytona Coupe was shown to me by Paul Sable

Here's a few pictures. I love Bonneville stuff

The display is a great and unique collection of cars. I suggest anyone in the area come and see it. The demo of the "Salt Flat Cars" was really cool. I think the Thunderbird is an example of understated excellence and something likely never to be repeated by a large manufacturer again. Everything about that car with the exception of the engine and transmission are totally unique to the T Bird, plus the color is really a great look for the car. Each car there has a great story and thanks to all for bringing them to the museum for the rest of us to enjoy

This response is great for showing how valuable the Forum is to everyone. Thanks to all who helped make this so great.

I would pull the trigger on Vernons carb. Think of it as an investment with compounding interest.

I agree, it will never worth less than what you pay Vern for it. Plus Vern is a great guy to deal with

Can someone post a picture of the correct direction of hood pins and how the cables are routed over the hood

Thanks, Stuart

First the pin plates are clocked so the rivets are at 12,3,6 9. The pin post is clocked so that the hole is pointed at a 45 degree toward the hood scoop. You adjust the height of the post so that the hole is slightly above the plate  when the hood is fastened down . You should be able to push down one of the rivets on the pin plates with your thumb to expose the pin hole above the plate . You do not want the pin post adjusted down so close to the surface of the plate that the click pin drags across the plate scratching it. The cables are typically secured on the top edge of the grill on early cars and on the forward edge of the pin support bracket on later cars. I hope this helps.   

This is why the forum is so great. A question asked and the answer is given by some who has done the research and has the answer
Thank you to all who share their knowledge to the rest of us

You could have "blown a seal" or might be a little ice cream
