I'm not sure which manufacturer a SPF uses however if I was looking at this issue I would start by looking at the wiring connection on the wiper motor. My motor has three wires. One is hot all the time, this is the park wire, one for low speed and one for the high speed. In my case all I have...

Although not a SLC the photo of the 1967 J7 car is clearly showing what Ford was trying on the radiator discharge in front of the windshield. Pre Dan Gurney flap?

Joel, I can only give you my experance with single slip on headers and EFI. I originally ran dual Holley's with no problems other than starting issues I had with an auto electric choke. I made the commitment to go with the Holley Sniper dual four EFI setup and placed my O2 sensor after the...

The 298.45 should be from the ground to the center of the wheel as should the 323.85 in the rear. Not noted on your sketch, the front sill is 339.7 and you have the back correct at 358.7.

I will take some measurements this weekend and message you back with the heights. Don

Very nice Chris!

I would agree the FE belongs in the Mk IV with all the trim of the 1967 cars.

Last weekend I installed a glass rear windshield and I'm very happy about the results. The old plexi glass just looked like a plexiglass window. Thought I would share a few quick photos I took in the garage. Always nice to make improvements to the car.

Nice work Mahlon!

Morten, Maybe you are looking for Gold and not one of the Ford colors used in the early 60's. Just looking at paint codes the one that looks like your Gold is the 1961 Ford color Algiers Bronze, I attached a car painted in that color or it could be the 1966 Ford color Antique Bronze Poly...

From what I see the two cars are different cars unless a lot of work went in to changing the body. The Belgium car has a square rocker panel while the New Zealand car has rounded rocker like the J4 car. All the cars from J5 on had square rockers They have different noses one with vent holes...

Thanks for sharing. Never knew it was shaped like that. Don

One last cool picture of me driving on the F1 track in Austin Texas.

Last Saturday I won best of class in the race car division! What a rush to win something for showing the car. I have attached some pictures. The best part of the day was taking the car on track at speed. I got two good runs past the grandstands up the hill to turn 1 at over 100+ MPH. I...
