I went to take my rally pac off to repair the clock........Jack
When I took mine out to repair it, I cleaned it out with some CRC electronics cleaner, used a fingernail file to clean up the contacts, then a light lube on the movement, been going for 3 years now.

This one is in my back yard, they have 3 or 4 a year. I have not gone for a couple years, but when I was there last it was huge. Took up the whole fairgrounds, including the horse track and infield.
All blacktop roads to walk, grass set up areas. Car coral has moved back and forth from inside of the pay-to-get-in area, to a parking lot outside, not sure where it would be this year.
This is the place where the Hot Rod Super Nationals event was held.
Was here for like 20 years untill the complaints of traffic problems finally ran them out of town.
Wonderful grounds, alot of buildings for inside display. If it rains, there will be plenty of tractors to pull the cars out of the mud in the spectator parking....always a problem at fair time.
Hard to say what turnout would be with the economy, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

Are those snap studs on top of the doors and quarter panels???
From the link....
We have the white "boot" to cover the top when it is down. We also have an original tonneau cover that snaps inside the car with a zippered area that opens up for just the driver (and I think also a separate area for a front seat passenger) in the event that you want to drive in bad weather with the top down. Fastening equipment in in place across the dash, down the tops of the doors and around the back of the car for this.

Found this on Youtube, as posted in another thread by Waldron, they were going to make it.. At idle, sounds different from the turndowns, to me anyway. This Kar seems like it has more cam.

I don't know much about this subject, but saw there is another company that makes reproductions, are these more correct than the Cokers? I'm thinking you know about these, but just in case...

I have seen on other postings that wesley's bleach white works good and ford makes stuff called 'triple clean' for tires and convert tops and vinyl tops, probably the same stuff as wesleys.

Since octane numbers of today are not measured as they were in the 60's, what would a 91 octane number gas from today equal in 65 numbers? now we use R+M/2 but in 65wasn't it just RON?

BTW: any estimates as to how the .030 bore and the .015 cut to the heads has changed the cubic inch size of the engine or the compression? has this washed each other out?
I think both changes will raise comp ratio. cutting the heads made the chamber smaller, the over bore made the volume of the cylinder larger, to be compressed into the same (relative)area, unless the pistons were designed to compensate for that.

FORD HOPING 50% AT WORK TOMORROW
Some Recalled to Plants Today
Chicago Tribune (1963-Current file) - Chicago, Ill.
Date: Nov 22, 1964
Abstract (Document Summary)
Nov 22, 1964 - Ford Motor company expressed hope today that it could return half of its 80000 strike-idled employes to work Monday, but expressed doubt it could get ... Some manufacturing plants continued production, despite assembly line shut downs. So did Ford's steel plants in sub- urban Dearborn. ...

I have not used either product, but here is a comparison with Lizard Skin.
They say about 400.00 and 7 hours for 'skin' vs 2000.00 and 12 hours for mat.

I worked for a large Ford dealer in Ohio. 2 Ford stores, 2 Dodge, 2 KIA and a VW. I was there for 5 years and 911 came and I lost over 1/2 my 401K.(It never rebounded by the way.) 1st week of Dec, that year, my employer let over 25% of us go, blaming 911. Lived off of 401K money. 6 month's later they called me back, I was the only one, but with a pay cut and did the work I was doing, but now for all the stores. As the years passed, they sold 1 store and another, moved some around and consolidated. Flash forward to end of 06, only 1 Ford and VW left. Another Merry Christmas, "we think you still make too much and we sold everthing off, so your gone again". Less than 7 months after that, they closed all together. 6 more months no work, spent rest of the 401K.
My Mustang is the only thing of value that I own and don't owe money on. And in Ohio, things are not great.
So, yes, I thought about selling and it kills me to still think it after owning it for 33 years.

Well, the Shelby 427 is coming. Let's hope the 289 is not far behind.

I'm looking at your picture and reading your older post that showed the install instructions. It seems that the roll pin is what pushes the secondary lever open and the vacuum rod is just along for the ride? What closes the secondaries? Do you have the washers installed? I don't understand what they do, but from the picture in Mustangs Unlimited, the repop they have doesn't show the washers as part of the kit.
Back in the 70's, we just tied the levers together with some wire, I didn't know about this kit. Was that a $1.50 price stamp?
