 Thanks Guys for all the help/suggestions. It got to the point I picked up on a used/rebuilt Ford carb. After pulling the original I noticed the plastic internal flow adapter was burned/melted so bad it had a hole in it. Replaced the carb, cracked exhaust manifold, vacume choke for electric and WALLA! 22+ MPG. Also found a site that had all the stats on it. It does have self adjusting brakes on all 4 corners. All is good.    Thanks again for the help and suggestions. Merry Christmas to all.

This thing has the original 170 cu. in. 6 with a 2 speed auto trans and the 1 bbl carb. After a complete tune up I'm getting 10 1/2 mpg. . Did these things come with auto adjust brakes? The pedal is right at the top and hard as a rock, (no power assist) just alot required to stop. I have problems trying to get info elsewhere. Any ideas/help is muchly appreciated.

Got the alternator installed and wired. IT WORKS! I used a 3 wire GM and it works very well. I'd like to thank Frank and all for their wiring tips and criteria.  

Trying to get the 2" stud out of the head. It's rusted pretty good. Tried all I knew but can't get it loose. Any ideas what will penetrate and or lube it up so I can get it out? I'm not looking forward to pulling the head if I don't have to.

Picked up a 64 comet 404 the other day. It.s got the original 170 cu. in. I'd like to eliminate the generator and go to an alternator. Years ago I had all the change over criteria but have since lost it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Every day is beautiful, some just a little more than others

Glad to be back, Years ago someone from "the table" sold me some 39 steering gears .(for shipping cost) brain gas, I don't remember the guys name. I thank you immensly. they went right in n are better than the replacement ones from vintage chevy. I love my original steering wheel. (rebuilt of course). Made a dash panel from common 1/4" alu. Wash it with acetone n a paint brush n the scratches are so bad it's ugly. Just got some 6061 plate and going to go for it. I'm not into "buying" my ride. I either make it or it doesn't get it.        Every day is beautiful, some just more than others.

(more money for the toys)  Every day is beautiful, some just more than others.
