DId you have the heads off? Sometimes they need to be resurfaced for flatness. Blocks can be some warped too. Chuck

no "serious" work done on the engine yet... just the usual tune up stuff plus a new carb...
I fear that serious stuff lies ahead!

A "hot" re-torque might help. Chuck

Did you do a compression check, maybe to much crankcase preasure from worn or stuck rings blowing out the oil? Car does look great.

timing gear set and chain replacement are on the horizon for Daniel. He took the set back to school last weekend and hopefully will get them installed soon. He's on his own for this job. Dad is 300 miles away from Abilene. At least he has a college roommate who digs cars and has family in town where Daniel can keep the car while down and work on it too.
more to come...

Daniel is thinking about upgrading his front brakes to discs...
anybody have any idea which Ford product would be good for a swap? He's located a fairly large salvage yard in Abilene with plenty of good picking...
thanks, Mark

I just noticed the update. Hard to believe this has been going on for over 4 years. Wow! Chuck
