    Those cast pieces can be bent. If the hood they came off of was lying around with pressure pushing up under the scoop, that would be an easy way for it to get misshapen. I got nailed in the right-rear quarter panel a few years back. The heavy, cast quarter panel extension piece didn't break, but...

    What did you do to your car today?

    Pretty much have the carb to E.F.I. swap done. It became more of a project than anticipated. Started with the Sniper 550 and an in-tank fuel pump but I discovered the GM style cap and coil on the aftermarket distributor was causing RF interference with the Holley computer. This resulted...

    What did you do to your car today?

    I believe you are referring to the hollow bolt that mounts the rear brake hose to the axle. That bolt doubles as the axle vent and normally includes a vent hose going into the crossmember above.

    I'm going to have to supply an inertia switch. I have one from a Bronco II parts vehicle. Trying to decide where I want to put it.  The Holley Sniper controls the fuel pump relay.

    Someone had a bad day today, I saw a damaged 71-73 on highway 580 (San Fransisco East Bay)

    I had a neighbor have a spindle break off his El Camino at a stop sign (fortunately for him). Apparently the inner bearing can go bad, seize up and lead to that failure.

    Anyone running other / different Ford / other rims ??

    These are 16" Crown Vic rims. I then added some VW clips to hold the dog dish hubcaps. I will swap to a slightly lower profile tire in the future.
