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

how about this one?

took this one on the 4th of July in DC in the Parade. Took a picture of the flags reflected on the side of the car

Streak or Smear

Dan always is good at directing traffic.

I'll be with Tom a couple of days after that, so as much as I'd like to shuffle down there, I have to pass on this one
Besides it would cost me a small fortune in gasoline, 11 MPG in the car with high test, and if I trailer it 6mpg in the truck of regular it would be an 8 hundred mile round trip.
You do the math

Old school. I just took the petronix out and reinstalled points



Steve, I would've thought you had converted your Hertz to electric by now?

Have an owner of a 1966 GT350 and he wants to install a 4:11 rear in the car. Does anyone make just a center section for this car? Anyone use a spool type differential? Looking for options to offer him

Agreed 👏

Find NOS Ford points, they are worth it

Bob,
I have the 20 original lug nugnuts for my car
I'll take pictures and send them

Doug was a great guy, he was the kind of guy who made you feel welcome, went out of his way to help you. He and his wife Kathy were among the first folks we met on our first GT350 Tour, they made feel welcome, made sure they answered all of our questions were answered. What a great guy, we all should be as nice and kind as Doug.
His life should probably be a book as he had an amazing one.
Godspeed Doug, save a spot for me in Heaven, looking forward to you meeting me at the pearly gates one day, greeting me and answering all my questions
