I think the weak link in this area is the monitors. Mine is a LCD of several years. I think a digital might do better. I haven't seen how the image looks with some of the equipment that the RC guys are using. will have to see if I can find out more about the monitors they are using when they...

For those of you looking for rear view cameras, the choices have just exploded in the last year. I stumbled onto the RC forums and their industry has spurred the field of miniature cameras to new heights. I am ccurrently using what is referred to as a "board camera". It measures 32mm square and...

Garry, Glad to see someone else likes the old school engine turnings. I found that WD 40 works best at not warping the surface when applying the turnings. How did you apply yours? Bill

You can run what ever thermostat you want. The FAST setup will make the necessary adjustments to the EFI. I am running no thermostat and electric water pump, and routinely run temps in the 160 range without the fans on in regular driving without any problems. In stop and go I will turn the fans...

Marco, There is room for the rod end to move a little, but then it isn't supposed to move much anyway. No washers are needed. The long bolt that goes throuth the upright goes right into the holder. The angle at the upright is parrallel to the upright so there is no bind on the camber support...

Marko, You are running into the problems i had /with my build. The rod ends at the chassis mtd. will use tubular steel rods to take up the space and make sure the rod end stays in the middle. Hard to see it in this pic but that is what I used.Will get some closeups for you when I get home...

Here is the anticipated schedule for that weekend. https://classicmotorsports.com/events/2016-classic-motorsports-mitty/ Couldn't find anything else, so it looks like it is going to be a Ford weekend, or a Ford Marque event. Don't know of any of the key racers in the area that are going...

Well, I finally got round to a video(published) on Utube. Video courtesy of a RunCam miniature camera. I actually used two cameras to tape but the Mobius cycled off before leaving the garage. Had turned off the lights before cranking and it must have fooled the camera into thinking it was on...

Here is one of the granddaddy of T-70s, Mat McClendon. Don't know if he is still around. Video is 2012 and he was 72 then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcmQBQyzg48 Bill

For those of you that want original seats, I collected some nice shots of 1063. Something to think about. The top one shows the "parachute material" Bill

Sounds like you need to raise your tray. That is the simplest and least time consuming alternative you have. Does the breather on the left side of the engine hit the tray?? If not then get the push on cap and put it on the right side. You don't need two breathers for that engine. I don't on...

Just checked my AN fitting. It is 3" tall and is 90 degree bend. Any speed shop that sells braided fuel lines should have a catalogue of most AN fittings. Mine is a 10 AN. They sell the fittings for valve covers that bolt on to the valve cover. Believe there is a baffle included with it. How...

I just saw the good pic of your engine. Your oil filter is just tooo tall. It is higher than a 10AN 120 degree fitting. You might want to take a serious look at these. If this is your valve cover hole size? Rubber Oil Baffle Grommet for Steel Valve Cover 1 25" OD 1" ID | eBay Bill

Andy, I have to say that if your breather is as small as It appears, then the motor is sitting a little high to not clear the rear tray. I have a 90 degree AN fitting that goes to a remote catch can, and it clears with about an inch from the tray(351 Windsor like yours). However there is a cure...

Had the same problem with mine. The A/C wasn't plumed so it had to be the alternator. Wound up being the pulley on the crankshaft(non Ford product). Was reassured it was the alternator by letting it run for a while and the belt started smoking. Did two things. first got a new belt. One with the...

Actually a great idea. You guys should get together and get a group rate. These are great guys to work with. Once they quote you a price that is it. Any problems come up with the install and it is their problem not yours. I think by the time you add shipping and insurance etc. your price will be...

Graham, You might look at the USA site and check out their videos. If they still have them(done by Dave Fryberger?) then It will tell you all about setting them up and tips that you might need(things like phasing the distributor). I converted my COP(351 Windsor) setup to a distributor and MSD...

Dave, When I was looking I inquired to the original manufacturer for DRB(there in Australia). I think the cost was about $300. What was killing me was the shipping. And then even if I had it insured, there was no guarantee that it would arrive in one piece. That would mean I would have to wait...

Rick must be a lefty?? You know he can't be in his "right" mind Bill

Woody, Just waiting for some of the more informed individuals in the comunity to let us know what we can think about. I have a few favorite tracks but I am out of the loop about scheduling. I would think we need some time to get it done and that is growing short. Bill
