Plus, I think you should have a revolver mounted to the dash like this guy:

But maybe my vision of the future is different than yours....

In the future there is only one gear... forward.

@HipMF I have been slowly gathering random shit to put in the interior. Any thing is possible, once its found or donated. Currently on the look out for a speak and spell.

[HipMF]

I once read an article that explained how a speak and spell actually works. Amazing what they were able to given the technology available at the time.

Anyway, found this today. I'll just leave it here:

Damn you. now I am looking up information on doing this.

------------------

Anyways, I got a lot done last night. Pretty much have to install the distributor and time the engine and we should be good for round 2. I really want to get out to at least one event this year with this contraption.

Here is a quick comparison of the old vs. new for the injector seals/pintle caps/filters

And here is a comparison of the injectors all cleaned up inside and out.

All new O-rings, pintle caps, and filters. what a beautiful thing.

I will note that I got 5 total replacement injectors and learned quite a bit more than I expected about ford injectors. Turns out they have many variations due to the application. (EX: trucks were different than the cars)  Each of the 5 injectors I got for replacements (all from different sources) were not the same as what was in the car. Here is a chart for the types of injectors that could be installed:

With that, the ones that are in the car are F1ZE-C2A  which are 208cc/min-19.8lb/hr. The closest, best flowing replacement I had was F0TE-C3A which is 208cc/min-20lb/hr. So slight variation but I highly doubt it will matter. It will certainly be much better than just dumping fuel at all times. LOL

Here are some pics of the intake all back together, painted and completely installed with new hoses, new gaskets, and sub harness. AS I mentioned I still need to install the dizzy which takes some knowledge and a blinking light from what I am told. Silly ford.

I love how the manifold turned out. I also spy some Mount Gay Bum in the engine bay.
I don't drink but I lived in Barbados for 6 months and saw bottles of it regularly

Wait you lived in Barbados?!? and yes, you don't have to be a sailor to know that Mount Gay is the best!!

Way to just casually drop that bomb on us!  Mission trip?

[B C]

Yep,

1 year in Trinidad & Tobago

6 months in Barbados

5 months in Antigua

4 months in rural Guyana

3 weeks before I came home I nearly caught a bullet with my head. Bullets make quite an interesting sound when they fly that close to your ears.

Had some pretty interesting experiences there for sure

How was the traffick?

Installed the distributor and timed the engine last night. Took it for a drive immediately. HOLY SHeeeet. Feels like a completely different car. Smoother RPM range, Smoovvvver idle, all the things more better. Now I can get back to the business of attaching novelty items to the car to make it more "Phuturistc"!

I also installed a NOS vintage(1972 bought by my Dad in 1973) Sun tachometer because V8 and the digital one on the dash is impossible to read.

It fit perfect with slight "modification" to the cluster. 

More Burnout videos to come. Next super important task is to weld the diff and finally install the handbrake.

Looking forward to meeting the beast next month

That tach is so cool! Glad you ended up using it

[AlpineE30]

Good! I cant wait either, the Devils Drive will be awesome.

Yeah its really sweet. I wasnt going to use it if it was collectible, but its turns out its really not and you can still buy them new. I have an install video thats hilarious. Alcohol and a 4" hole saw straight to the gauge cluster is always a good time.
